Suede

Another No One


She takes the blame, takes the pain but the world smiles
'Cos outside is just a taxi ride to drive away
So she packs her bag, calls a cab and the world smiles
And inside well she feels all right and turns to say:

"Yes it's the end, the final showdown
Yes it's the end of our small love
You'll have to find another no one to take the shit like I have
Well I guess this is the end, I guess this is the end."

She feels the sun, phones her mum and the world smiles
'Cos outside in the morning light it's another day
So she packs her bag, smokes a fag and the world smiles
'Cos inside well she feels all right, and turns to say:

"Yes it's the end, the final showdown
Yes it's the end of our small love
You'll have to find another no one who'll take the shit like I have
Well I guess this is the end, I guess this is the end...
Oh well..."

sunday, monday we lie around
but it's not easy
someday, one day
we'll get sky and move away

and like the birds we'll fly tomorrow
obscene machines that glide away
and like the birds we'll fly tomorrow
and like the birds we'll fly
from your asda town
never coming down
'cos they're take, taking it away

sunday, monday we lie in bed
but it's not easy
someday, one day we'll cash
the cheques and drive away

and like the birds we'll fly tomorrow
obscene machines that glide away
and like the birds we'll fly tomorrow
and like the birds we'll fly
from your asda town
never coming down
'cos they're take, taking it away

Bentswood Boys


When you're high on diesel nightly
And the traffic starts to roll
You smoke a cigarette and watch the black girls
In a white boys world
Anything is possible for the Bentswood boys

Where the karma comes with the kids and the cat food
You see Tina push the pram
'Cos she was on her back in his estate car
And in the back of his van
Anything is possible for the Bentswood boys

For the Bentswood boys (things are happening)
For the Bentswood boys (mmm...tell it like it is!)

Don't take me down, don't take me down
Don't take me down south

She can walk out anytime,
anytime she wants to walk out, that's fine,
She can walk out anytime,
anytime she feels that life has passed her by,
And when I start my new life
I won't touch the ground,
I'm gonna try hard this time not to touch the ground.
He can walk out anytime,
anytime he wants to walk out, that's fine,
He can walk out anytime, across the sand,
into the sea, into the brine
And when I start my new life I won't touch the ground,
I'm gonna try hard this time not to touch the ground.
So we sold the car and quit
the job and shook some hands and wiped the make-up right off
And we said our good-byes to the bank left
Seven Sisters for a room in a seaside shack
And when I start my new life I won't touch the ground,
I'm gonna try hard this time not to touch the ground ...
it's by the sea we'll breed ...
into the sea we'll bleed...

Duchess


You've had your fun, your money's gone
You're only friend is the telephone
Oh duchess, now you're one of us

You stay at home and lights the light
They make you smile in the empty night
Oh duchess, now you're one of us

Well she knows Latinos and she knows Mexicans
And she sits alone by the telephone
But they won't call back again

You count the pounds and cut your hair
Won't someone send you a millionaire?
Oh duchess, now you're one of us

No friends to see, no car to drive
You'd go to bars but you're much too shy
Oh duchess, now you're one of us

Well she knows Latinos and she knows Mexicans
And she sits alone over 13 stone
And they won't come back again

She knows Latinos and she knows Mexicans
But now things are tough and they've had enough
And they won't come back again

You've had your fun your money's gone
You spend all day by the telephone

Graffiti Women


Graffiti women draw pictures on the wall
Graffiti slogans and situations scrawled
Just made up people who wonder through your brain
Graffiti people got nothing, got no name

And you sleep but they'll find you
And they'll carve their number in your mind
And they'll steal what they want from who they want from time to time

Graffiti women swap stories in the park
Graffiti women take photos after dark
In permanent people who wonder through the day
Graffiti people got nothing, got no name

And you sleep but they'll find you
And they'll carve their number in your mind
So steal what you want from who you want from time to time

Have You Ever Been This Low?


Have you ever been this low?
The taxis take you where you wanna go
Broken windows, endless television shows
I haven't ever been so low

I am the one, I sing the song
My lights are on but there's nobody home

So much happening today
A thousand people come and go and stay and fade away
They draw the blinds and watch the show
Have you ever been so low?

I am the one, I sing the song
My lights are on but there's nobody home

...nobody home

Jumble Sale Mums


Oh jumble sale mums, what are they on?
Kids walk round like they're half asleep
And they've got somebody else's clothes on

Jumble sale dads, boil in the bag
Says something that I can't repeat, and he swears

Oh this ain't the highlife, this ain't the highlife
This ain't the highlife, this ain't the highlife

Oh jumble sale mums, what are they on?
Kids just sit hanging round the street
And they've got somebody else's clothes on

Jumble sale dads, now she's packed her bags
He does some things that I can't repeat, and he swears

Oh this ain't the highlife, this ain't the highlife
This ain't the highlife, this ain't the highlife

Here they come with their make-up on as lovely as the clouds,
come and see them,
Boys and girls and their mums and their words
and their romances and jobs and their sons,
Barking mad kids,
lonely dads who drug it up to give it some meaning,
From the raves to the council estates they're reminding us
there's things to be done.
But you and me, all we want to be is lazy,
you and me, so lazy...
Here they come gone 7am getting satellite and
Sky getting cable,
Bills and Bens and their mums and their friends
who just really, really want to be loved,
Uncle Teds and their legendary vests
helping out around the disabled,
From the flats and the maisonettes they're reminding us
there's things to be done.
But you and me, all we want to be is lazy,
you and me, so lazy...
It's you and me, it's you and me, you and me

we could go drinking, we could sit thinking,
we could go speeding, or we could go dreaming, see? oh hey...

Sadie


Inside her is the suburbs, in the sodium lights and the streets
In the parked cars and the pretty parks,
and in every lonely disease
In the new loves under covers, in the cold touch of the right
In the dead flowers and the silent hours
In the nightclubs and the fights

Cold, cold as the night, high as the trees, slow as you like
Oh you know she's she's cold, cold as the night
High as the trees, slow as you like... Sadie

Inside her is the suburbs, in the old front room in the rain
In all the bad days and the music that plays
In the bored kids and their games
In the new loves under covers, and all the young mums
And their worlds
Who are left at home when all the kids have grown watching
the pretty young girls

Cold, cold as the night, high as the trees, slow as you like
Oh you know she's cold, cold as the night
High as the trees, slow as you like... Sadie

Oh and I've got to take it, and I've got to fake it
And I've got to use her, and I've got to choose her
And I've got to feel it, and I've got to steal it
And I've got to be... Sadie

You live on Lancaster Road
And you've got a computer
And you go when the library's closed
And sit and think of the future

Oh, oh, oh, Sam, oh, oh, oh, Sam
Oh, oh, oh, Sam,
You're my main man

You've got a mum by the name of Anne
And she has got a daughter
And your brother Simon, well sometimes he gets out of hand
But he looks like John Travolta

Oh, oh, oh, Sam, oh, oh, oh, Sam
Oh, oh, oh, Sam,
You're my main man

Oh, oh, oh, Sam, oh, oh, oh, Sam
Oh, oh, oh, Sam, oh, oh, oh, lalala

You drink tea in a cafe close to me
And sit and read the headlines
You don't seem to mind if the social is too unkind
Or if you're near the bread line

Oh, oh, oh, Sam, oh, oh, oh, Sam
Oh, oh, oh, Sam,
You're my main man

Oh, oh, oh, Sam, oh, oh, oh, Sam
Oh, oh, oh, Sam, oh, oh, oh, lalala

Today she's been working, she's been talking,
she's been smoking, but it'll be alright,
Cos tonight we'll go dancing, we'll go laughing,
we'll get car sick, and it'll be okay like everyone says,
it'll be alright and ever so nice,
We're going out tonight, out and about tonight.
Oh, whatever makes her happy on a Saturday night,
Oh whatever makes her happy, whatever makes it alright.
Today she's been sat there, sat there in a black chair,
office furniture, but it'll be alright,
Cos tonight we'll go drinking we'll do silly things,
and never let the winter in,
And it'll be okay like everyone says,
it'll be alright and ever so nice,
We're going out tonight, out and about tonight.
Oh, whatever makes her happy on a Saturday night,
Oh, whatever makes her happy, whatever makes it alright.
We'll go to freak shows and peep shows,
We'll go to discos, casinos,
We'll go where people go and let go
Oh whatever makes her happy

She, walking like a killer,
She, another night another pillow.
Nowhere places, nowhere faces, no one wants to see,
No education, it's the arse of the nation,
She is bad, she is bored, she is bony, she is...
She, sh-shaking up the karma,
She, 3injecting marijuana2,
Nowhere places, nowhere faces, no one wants to see,
No education it's the arse of the nation,
She is bad, she is bored, she is bony, she is...
she...
Nowhere faces, nowhere places, no one wants to be,
No stimulation in this privatisation,
She is bad, she is bored, she is bony, she is she.

The Sound Of The Streets


She walks the streets of summer
Inside her there's no future
She walks the streets to pass the time
The cash machines are laughing
At plastic people passing
She walks the streets to pass the time

Sadie, Sadie hear the sound of the streets
Insane as anything, ah
Sadie, Sadie knows the sound of the streets
It's insane as anything, ah

She sees the midnight taxis
The toilets and the backstreets
She feels the wheels and needs a line
Outside there's crazy parties
There's painted faces laughing
So many ways to pass the time

Sadie, Sadie hear the sound of the streets
Insane as anything, ah
Sadie, Sadie knows the sound of the streets
It's insane as anything, ah

She walks the streets of summer
Inside her there's no future
She walks the streets to pass the time
Inside she feels like winter
For the child that died within her
She walks the streets to pass the time

Sadie, Sadie hear the sound of the streets
Insane as anything, ah ah
Sadie, Sadie knows the sound of the streets
It's insane as anything, ah

She's star, starcrazy, electric-shock-bog-brush-hair,
Flat on her back in the 80's, in the 90's going nowhere,
Star, starcrazy, got a kicking transistor inside,
A heavy metal stutter that brains me,
and an electric love in her eyes,
Oh, she don't want education,
She got nothing to say,
She got no imagination (so they say)
Why does she feel this way?
Cos she's star, starcrazy,
getting stupid on the streets tonight, and shaking
like a mechanical thing with an electric love in her eyes,
Oh, she don't want education,
She got nothing to say,
She got no imagination (so they say)
So why does she feel this way?

And maybe we're just kids who've grown, and maybe not
And maybe when we're on our own, we don't have much
But oh, we are young and not tired of it
Oh, we are young and easily led
Oh, with all the kids getting out of their heads

Oh, Class A, Class B
Is that the only chemistry?
Oh, Class A, Class B
Is that the only chemistry between us?

And maybe we're just Streatham trash, and maybe not
And maybe we're just capital flash in a stupid love
But oh, we are young and not tired of it
Oh, we are young and easily lead
Oh, by all the kids getting out of our heads

Oh, Class A, Class B
Is that the only chemistry?
Oh, Class A, Class B
Is that the only chemistry between us?

Oh, we are young and not tired of it
Oh, we are young and easily lead
Oh, we are the kids getting out of our heads

Oh, Class A, Class B
Is that the only chemistry?
Oh, Class A, Class B
Is that the only chemistry between us?

These Are The Sad Songs


Lay Lady Lay and Band of Gold
A Day in the Life, And Dream of Sheep
Seasong and Vincent and Death Disco
Listen to the music in your sleep

These are the sad songs, the broken words
These are the sad songs, the lies you've heard
These are the good times you keep inside
These are the good things that you can have if you try

Venus in Furs and An Occasional Dream
Sign o the Times and Bill is Dead
And Lazyitis and Big Louise
Listen to the music in your head

These are the sad songs, the broken words
These are the sad songs, the lies you've heard
These are the good times you keep inside
These are the good things that you can have if you try

This Time


Oh, day after day, every morning
The city sighs and cars collide
Oh we take the train through the winter hinterland and garage bands
And we wash it away, we wash it away this grey,
wash it away

Oh, 'cos this time is yours and mine
Oh hear the city sound, see the lonely crowds
This scene is you and me
Oh in the lazy sun, we're the only ones

Oh, day after day every morning
The roundabouts will take us south
Past every train in every station
Traffic signs and circle lines

'Cos this time is yours and mine
Oh hear the city sound, see the lonely crowds
This scene is you and me
Oh in the lazy sun, we're the only ones

This time is yours and mine
Oh, we're the city sounds, we're the underground
This scene is you and me
Oh, we're the lazy suns, we're the only ones

Together


She was standing smoking counting stolen change,
Don't someone have the guts to complain?
Said "superman, I'm a big fan,
Let's get something straight,
Well you don't have the guts to complain"
Now your son's coming out to play
Your son's coming out to play

When you're on your own
Standing by the phone
We should get together
Got a supermarket stance
Just taking it hand-in-hand
We should get together
Just think of the life you'll save
Not stuck in your early grave
We should get together

I saw you standing smoking counting stolen change
But I don't have the guts to complain
Well I picked you up, got mixed up with you,
That's OK
'Cos now I've got the guts to complain
And now your son's coming out to play
Your son's coming out to play

When you're on your own
Standing by the phone
We should get together
Got a supermarket stance
Just taking it hand-in-hand
We should get together
Just think of the life you'll save
Not stuck in your early grave
We should get together

Maybe, maybe it`s the clothes we wear,
The tasteless bracelets and the dye in our hair,
Maybe it`s our kookiness,
Or maybe, maybe it`s our nowhere towns,
Our nothing places and our cellophane sounds,
Maybe it`s our looseness,
But we are trash, you and me,
We`re the litter on the breeze,
We`re the lovers on the streets,
Just trash, me and you,
It`s in everything we do,
It`s in everything we do
Maybe, maybe it`s the things we say,
The words we`ve heard and the music we play,
Maybe it`s our cheapness,
Or maybe, maybe it`s the times we`ve had,
The lazy days and the crazes and the fads,
Maybe it`s our sweetness,
But we`re trash, you and me,
We`re the litter on the breeze,
We`re the lovers on the street,
Just trash, me and you,
It`s in everything we do,
It`s in everything we do
instrumental break
But we`re trash, you and me,
We`re the lovers on the street,
We`re the litter on the breeze
Just trash, me and you,
It`s in everything we do,
It`s in everything we do
ah you and me,
We`re the lovers on the streets,
We`re the litter on the breeze,
ah you and me,
It`s in everything we do,
It`s in everything we do.......
ah you and me...

W.S.D.


Dressed as a cowboy on top of a hill it's sadder than it probably sounds
He gets lovely the more he's ill, don't o.d. on him now
Dressed as a woman with horrible hair and singing to the birds in town
Who goes walking through traffic out there,
don't o.d. on her now

Oh, is it true what they say about you?
Oh, is it true what they say about you two?

Married to me is a hungry son who wants to push me from the 2nd floor
We're so disco we can't get on in this world anymore

Oh, is it true what they say about you?
Oh, is it true what they say about you two?

Dressed as a cowboy in a permanent gag it's sadder than it probably sounds
So fucking what if he's licking the bag, don't o.d. on him now

Oh, is it true what they say about you?
Oh, is it true what they say about you two?

Young Men


Tony only reads Asian babes
Danny's doing doves on down the raves
Terry drinks his money away
Oh God, and his sons play drums all day

On the scene, on the dole, in your eyes, in your soul,
The young men
You are the ones, are the scene, are the sons,
are the young men
Young men, here we, here we go again

Les says punk isn't dead
Mick is not impeccably bred
Paul he just can't get out of bed
Oh God, and Phil's still off his head

On the scene, on the dole, in your eyes, in your soul,
The young men
You are the ones, are the system, are the sons,
are the young men
Young men, here we, here we go again

On the scene, on the dole, in your eyes, in your soul,
the young men
You are the ones, are the scene, are the young men
Cheating on the wives, all shiny suits and lazy lies,
the young men
Insulting everyone, picked up your sister, kicked your son, the young men
Fighting in the clubs, flash on the streets, cash in the pubs, the young men
Boozing on the train, p-45's and cheap champagne --
the young men

Black Or Blue


There was a girl who flew the world from a lonely shore
Through southern snow to Heathrow to understand the law
There was a boy who loved the noise of the underground
He left the coast and overdosed on that London sound

He said,
"I don't care if you're black or blue,
me and the stars stay up for you
I don't care who's wrong or right
and I don't care for the U.K. tonight so stay, stay"

And then one day she moved away from those garden walls
She left some flowers, he smoked for hours
She understood the law

I don't care if you're black or blue
Me and the stars stay up for you
I don't care who's wrong or right
And I don't care for the U.K. tonight
So stay, stay, stay, stay..........
........there was a girl who flew the world

Whiplash caught the silver son
Took the film to No. I
Crashed the car and left us here
Broken glass for teenage boys trapped in steel and celluloid
Crashed the car and left us here.

And daddy burned a million eyes
Dared the dogs to criticize
He crashed the car and I was born

And daddy turned a million heads
Took the teenage dream to bed
He crashed the car and left us here

With dreams of gasoline drying our eyes
Green fields of destiny high in the sky
But oh can you see him?
Oh Daddy's speeding

Whiplash caught the silver son
Killed the sad American
Crashed the car and left us here

And sorrow turns his eyes to mine
Come with me now it's your time
Let's crash the car and I'll be born

And sorrow breaks the silent day
Takes the teenage boys away
They crash the cars and leave us here

With dreams of gasoline drying our eyes
Green fields and death machines high in the sky

But oh can you see him?
Oh, when Daddy's speeding

She walks in beauty like the night
Discarding her clothes in the plastic flowers
Pornographic and tragic in black and white
My Marilyn come to my slum for an hour
I'm aching to see my heroine
I'm aching been dying for hours and hours
She walks in the beauty of a magazine
Complicating the boys in the office towers
Rafaella or Della the silent dream
My Marilyn come to my slum for an hour
I'm aching to see my heroine
I'm aching been dying for hours and hours,
been dying for hours and hours
She walks in beauty like the night
Hypnotising the silence with her powers
Armageddon is bedding this picture alright
My Marilyn come to my slum for an hour
I'm aching to see my heroine
Aching, been dying for hours and hours
I'm 18, I need my heroines
Aching, been dying for hours
Oh and I'm never alone now
Now I'm with her

Dog man star took a suck on a pill
And stabbed a cerebellum with a curious quill
Europe, America, Winterland
Introducing the band

Chic thug stuttered through a stereo dream
A fifty knuckle shuffle heavy metal machine
The tears of suburbia drowned the land
Introducing the band

So steal me a savage, subservient son
Get him shacked-up, bloodied-up and sucking on a gun
I want the style of a woman, the kiss of a man
Introducing the band

And as the sci-fi lullaby starts to build
See them whipping all the women, cracked governments killed
Oh let the century die to violent hands
Introducing the band

Killing of a Flash Boy


All the white kids shuffle to the heavy metal stutter
And go shaking on the scene like killing machines
And they know that when she's stacked up top
She'll be a sucker for the shotgun show
Shaking obscene like killing machines here we go

It's the same old show, he's a killer he's a flash boy oh
He's a killer he's a flash boy oh

Oh if you shake your fake tan thru aerosol land you'll know
That you'll suffer your sex by the caravenettes oh no
And that shitter with the pout won't be putting it about no more
Or shaking obscene like a killing machine here we go

It's the same old show, he's a killer he's a flash boy oh
He's a killer he's a flash boy oh...

...oh and Athena loves your body
So think of the sea my darling
Think of the sea as you murder me, murder me, murder me,
murder me, murder me...

It's the same old show, he's a killer, he's a flash boy oh
This is the killing of a flash boy oh.

Come unto me my winter son
We could lie on the rails
And when the morning comes
We'll be miles away
Miles away
Slipping away while the city sleeps
Running away from this cruel disease
Miles away, miles away
Modern boys, modern boys
Hand in hand, sick of the fear
Chasing away all the hungry years
We're the modern boys
Come onto me my sickly thing
We could lie on the rails
But to really win we'll just drive away, drive away
Yes, the world calls my international
So let the decades die, let the parties fall
And we'll be miles away, miles away
Because we'll be living like
Modern boys, modern boys
Hand in hand, sick of the fear
Chasing away all the hungry years
Into the night, under the stars
Jumping the lights in the silent cars
He's on your left, I'm on your right
It's so easy in the concrete night

In a hired car she will come to England from the sea,
And as the tide flows the London snows will come.
And from the skyline shines the lies of the government's singular history
So in a hired world she will buy a gun

And she will come from India with a love in her eyes
That say, oh how my dark star will rise

In rented gear 2000 years we waited for a man
But with a tattoed tit she'd die for us all tonight.

And she will come from India with a gun at her side,
Or she will come from Argentina
With her cemetery eyes that say
Oh, how my dark star will rise,

...and she will rise.

I wake up every day
to find her back again
Screaming my name through the astral plain
And in this catalogue fown she takes me down
Down through the platinum spires
Down through the telephone wires
And we shake it around in the underground
And like a new generation rise
And like all the boys in all the cities
I take the poison, take the pity
But she and I, we soon discovered
we`d take the pills to find each other
Oh but when she is calling
here in my head
Can you hear her calling
And what she has said
Oh but when she is calling
here in my head
It`s like a new generation calling
Can you hear it call
And I`m losing myself,
I`m losing myself to you
losing myself
and l`m losing myself
I wake up every day,
to find her back again
Breeding disease on her hands and knees
While the styles turn and the books still burn
Yes it`s there in the platinum spires
It`s there in the telephone wires
And we spread it around to a techno sound
But like a new generation rise
Cos like all the boys in all the cities
I take the poison, take the pity
But she and I we soon discover
We take the pills to find each other
Oh but when she is calling here in my head
Can you hear her calling
and what she has said
And what she is calling here in my head
It`s like a new generation calling
Can you hear her call
And I`m losing myself,
losing myself to you
losing myself
and I`m losing myself to you
to you to youto you

Come to my house tonight
We can be together in the nuclear sky
And we will dance in the poison rain
And we can stay a while in Heaven today

Let's stay together
Let's stay, these days are ours
Let's die together?
Two hearts under the skyscrapers

There's a time bomb in the high rise
There's a blue suburban dream
Will I see you up in paradise
Or have you come to catch me?

Come to my arms tonight
Just you and me together under electric light
And she will dance in the poisoned den
Just you and me forever by the motorway there

Let's stay together
Let's stay, these days are ours
And we can stay together
Two hearts under the skyscrapers

There's a time bomb in the high rise
There's a blue suburban dream
Will I see you up in Paradise
Or have you come to catch me?

Come to my arms I'm lost
Just you and me together in the year of the horse
Single file in the nuclear night
And we could feel a little closer
As we tumble through the sky

Let's stay together, let's stay these days are ours
Let's stay together
Two hearts under a skyscraper
Let's stay together, let's stay in this broken down love
Let's stay together, two hearts under the skyscrapers

This still life is all I ever do
There by the window quietly
killed for you
In the glass house my insect life
Crawling the walls under
electric lights
I'll go into the night
into the night
She and I into the night
Is this still life all
I'm good for too
There by the window
quietly killed for you
And they drive by like insects do
They think they don't know me
They hired a car for you
To go into the night
into the night
She and I into the night
And this still life is
all I ever do
There by the window
quietly killed for you
And this still life is all
I ever do
But it's still still life
But it's still still life
But it's still still life

This still life is all I ever do
There by the window quietly
killed for you
In the glass house my insect life
Crawling the walls under
electric lights
I'll go into the night
into the night
She and I into the night
Is this still life all
I'm good for too
There by the window
quietly killed for you
And they drive by like insects do
They think they don't know me
They hired a car for you
To go into the night
into the night
She and I into the night
And this still life is
all I ever do
There by the window
quietly killed for you
And this still life is all
I ever do
But it's still still life
But it's still still life
But it's still still life

Lying in my bed, I think of you
That song goes through my head,
the one we both knew
In each line lies another line
full of sacred sound
But you're outside where the
companies dream
and the money goes round
Lying in my bed
Watching my mistakes,
I listen to the band they said
that it could be the 2 of us
The snow might fall and write
the lines on the silent page
But you're outside making
permanent love to the nuclear age
Two silhouettes by the cash
machine make a lovers dance
It's a tango for the lonely
wives of the business class
Lying in my bed
Watching my mistakes
I listen to the band
Lying in my bed
With nothing much to say so
I listen to the man
He said that it could be
the 2 of us
I heard you call from across
the city through the stereo sound
And so I crawled there
sickeningly pretty
as the money went round
Lying in my head watching
my mistakes
I listen to the band
And the drums beat in my head
Pianos chime the sound in this
prison of the house
And as the illness comes again
can you hear me through the rain
As I listen to the band
As I sing the silent song
Mime each lonely word
Please listen to the man he said
that it could be the 2 of us
Alone but not lonely
you and me Alone but loaded
you and me Alone but loaded
but loaded but loaded

Lying in my bed, I think of you

I know a girl she walks the asphalt world
She comes to me and I supply her with Ecstasy
Sometimes we ride in a taxi to the ends of the city
Like big stars in the back seat like skeletons ever so pretty

But where does she go?
And what does she do?
And how does she feel when she's next to you?
And who does she love in time-honoured fur?
Is it me or her?

I know a girl she walks the asphalt world
She's got a friend, they share mascara I pretend
Sometimes they fly from the covers to the winter of the river
For these silent stars of the cinema
It's in the blood stream, it's in the liver
I know a girl, she walks the arse felt world

But where does she go?
And what does she do?
And how does she feel when she's next to you?
And who does she love in time-honoured fur?
Is it me or is it her?

With ice in her blood
And a Dove in her head
Well how does she feel when she's in your bed?
When you're there in her arms
And there in her legs
Well I'll be in her head

Cos that's where I go
And that's what I do
And that's how it feels when the sex turns cruel
Yes both of us need her, this is the asphalt world

I know a girl she walks the asphalt world
She comes to me and I supply her with Ecstasy
Sometimes we ride in a taxi to the ends of the city
Like big stars in the back seat like skeletons ever so pretty

Where's all the money gone?--
I'm talking to you,
All up the hole in your arm,
Is the needle a much better screw?
But oh, what will you do alone?
'Cos I have to go.

Where is this life of fun that you promised me?
Nothing here works but your works and I mean it
I have to leave
But oh, what will you do alone?
'Cos I have to go.

If I was the wife of an acrobat would I look like the living dead, boy?
You're on the wire and can't get back, let's talk about the living dead
Could have had a car, could have had it all,
Could have walked in the sky but we stare at the wall.

I know where the money's gone--
I know what you do
'Cos I've seen the hole in your arm and
The needle's a much better screw
But oh, what will you do alone?
'Cos I have to go.

Through endless Asia, through the fields of Cathay
or enslaved in pebble-dash grave with a kid on the way
If you're far over Africa on the wings of youth
or if you're down in some satellite town and there's nothing you can do

Just give me, give me, give me the power
And I'll make them bleed
Give me, give me the power
(Although I'm just the common breed)

You might live in a screen kiss, it's a glamorous dream
Or belong to a world that's gone, it's the English disease

But give me, give me the power
And I'll make them bleed

Give me, give me, give me the power
(Although I'm just the common breed)

There`s a song playing on the radio
Sky high in the airwaves on the morning show
And there`s a lifeline slipping as the record plays
As I open the blinds in my mind
I`m believing that you could stay
And oh, if you stay
I`ll chase the rain blown fields away
We`ll shine like the morning and sin in the sun
Oh if you stay
We`ll be the wild ones running with the dogs today
There`s a song playing through another wall
All we see and believe is the D.J. and debts dissolve
And it`s a shame the plane is leaving
On this sunny day
Cause on you my tattoo will be bleeding
And the name will stain
But oh, if you stay
We`ll ride from disguised suburban graves
We`ll go from the bungalows
Where the debts still grow each day
And oh if you stay
I`ll chase the rain blown fields away
We`ll shine like the morning and sin in the sun
Oh if you stay
We`ll be the wild ones
Running with the dogs today
We`ll be the wild ones
Running with the dogs today
Oh if you stay... ....

"She-rocker you're wasting your time,
Cos you're only a girl"
She'rocker sacked the factory line for a chance of a dance in a surreal world

She said, "come rescue, rescue me from this Hollywood life
come rescue, rescue me from this Hollywood life"

She'rocker hear the audience scream for the death of the king
But a hand-job is all the butchery brings
Cos fame ain't as easy as him (how sad)

Oh, come rescue, rescue me from this Hollywood life
come rescue, rescue me from this Hollywood life

Come take this Hollywood life

hold on, he's coming
through the wheels of the star machine
hold on, he's coming
through the tears of your shit stained dream

in an anthem for the world
let him waltz you down the river
let him feel like boy or girl
with his sci-fi lullaby
let the light of the bomb shine from him tomorrow
yes this world needs a father for the sorrow
so let's have one, for the lovers
and one more, for the friends
'cos drink to you is all i can do
as life slips down, down the drain

hold on, he's coming
with the screen kissed spine of the past
hold on, he's coming
with the style of the wormwood star

sing an anthem for the world
sing a farewell for the river
if you feel like boy or girl
sing a sci-fi lullaby
let the light of the bomb shine from him tomorrow
yes this world needs a father for the sorrow
so let's have one more, for the lovers
and one more, for the friends
for drink to you is all i can do
as life slips down, down the drain

Well the church bells are calling
Police cars on fire
And as they call you to the eye of the storm
All the people say "Stay at home tonight"

I say we are the pigs, we are the swine
We are the stars of the firing line

And as the smack cracks at your window
You wake up with a gun in your mouth
Oh let the nuclear wind blow away my sins
And I'll stay at home in my house

I say, we are the pigs
we are the swine
we are the stars of the firing line

But deceit can't save you so

We will watch them burn

Whipsnade


We are only young,
But we style our future with a cattle gun
And we aren't idle rich,
So we smile for tomorrow with a bitch of an itch

Cause when the firelight shocks like a cop shop pyre
We'll sack the politics for premonition and fire
And we'll move like nureyev that night

Coast to coast, side to side
Shines the lies of fine enlightened minds
Coast to coast

We are only young
But we style our future in the shadow of guns
And we are not idle rich
So we smile for tomorrow with a bitch of an itch

Cause when the stylised kick of the filmstar whip
Cracks down on the millions,
Cracks the kids on their hips
Then we'll move like nuryev that night

'Cos coast to coast, side to side
Shines the lies of fine enlightened minds
Coast to coast, side to side

Feel the steel that shines outside the blinds
Coast to coast, side to side
Blades engraved with babies' names
While pylons hide the suicide
Coast to coast, side to side
Shines the light of fine enlightened minds

Coast to coast, side to side
Feel the steel that shines outside the blinds
Coast to coast, side to side
Blades engraved with babies' names
While pylons hide the suicides

I see you're moving, see you're moving, moving in her
You'll pierce your right ear, pierce your heart here, this skinny boy is one of the girls
'Cos around my neck and around her neck hangs everything you are
I know you've been inside but what were you in for?
Animal lover, animal lover, animal lover?
I see you're moving, see you're moving like wildlife from the waist
But when your name's scratched in on a shiny ring your waist is my resting place
And around my neck and around her neck hangs everything you are
I know you've been inside but what were you in for?
Animal lover, animal lover, animal lover?

Like he's dead you know that he's had
Animal nitrate in mind
Oh in your council home he jumped on your bones
Now you're taking it time after time
Oh it turns you on, on now he has gone
Oh what turns you on now your animal's gone?
Well he said he'd show his bed
And the delights of a chemical smile
So in your broken home he broke all your bones
Now you're taking it time after time
Oh it turns you on, on now he has gone
Oh what turns you on now you're animal's gone?
What does it take to turn you on, on
Now he has gone?
Now you're over 21?
Now your animal's gone?
...animal, he was animal, an animal...he's just an animal

Back where the dogs bark
where still life bleeds the concrete white
try not to go too far inside your mind
back where the cars decide
where the lame star limps an endless mile
have I gone too far inside my mind?
oh if you were the one
would I even notice now my mind has gone?
oh if you were the one, would I even notice?
Back where the car was parked
where the canine in the a-line stole your time
you can only go so far for womankind
oh if you were the one
would I even notice now my mind has gone?
oh if you were the one would I even notice?

...

you can only go so far
you can only go so far
you can only go so far in your mind
(Instrumental break)
Does your love only come
Does your love only come
Does he only come... in a Volvo?
Does he only come...
Does your love only come
Does he only come... in a Volvo?

See my dolly she's over there, see her grooving on down
Dressed in thought she is real yeah,
her real hair is what counts
Taught my baby the alphabet, ABC don't let you down
Dressed in thought we are set in jet,
the jet set messed us around

I'm so so down
Are you never coming round?
So so down
Are you never coming round?

See my dolly on three wheels yeah,
see her grooving on down
Dressed in thought she is real yeah, her real hair is what counts
Bought my baby an ambulance,
driving her mad around town
She'll take the hand of a lucky man, in dogshit land

We're so so down
Are you never coming round?
So so down
Are you never coming round?

So so down
Are you never coming round?
Never coming round...

I wake up every day,
But I don't want it that way
I take my thoughts to the round about
Cause me and them we like to get out
Oh what you do in your head,
You do in your head
Oh if he is dead
He said he had a horrible house
I looked in it and learnt to shut my mouth
He said I had the luck of a son
With all the love and poison of London
Oh what you do in your head
You do in your head
Oh if he is dead
Oh what you do in your head
You do in your head
Oh if he is dead...

You'll hide among the covers and wave
as the aeroplanes go by,
There's nothing to say when you sleep all day,
but "bye-bye".

Your mind will find another,
and that's where the days have gone,
And all you can hear is a stereo somewhere playing
a pig-of-a-song

And you'll know her, know her, when she comes.
When you turn the light out, light out, she'll come.

She called you from across the city,
you hired a car to crawl,
But with the high rise still in your eyes you wonder
who's out there at all.

And you'll know her, know her, when she comes.
When you turn the light out, light out, she'll come.
When you turn the light out, she'll come.

Stop making me older, start making me new.
