Alone

when the lights go out
when i'm on my own
it just doesn't help trying to talk over the phone
you're there, i'm here alone
when i'm here alone
the hours turn into days
still nothings changed
when i see you again what will you say
can i stay

when the lights go out
when i'm on my own
it just doesn't help reading the card you sent from home
you're there, i'm here alone
i am here alone
i am here alone
you are on your own
i am here alone
you are on your own

Going Home

making a move from the ex colonies
treated like some kind of war refugee
will you because you were there
a brand new money to burn
will you because you were there
a brand new culture to learn

is this my home this is my home
this is where i'm from
is this home this must be home
but is this where i belong

all man are equal but some more than others
it's that it sometimes depends on your colour
good morning young man where are you from

The Lunacy Legacy


The Lunatics Have Taken Over The Asylum

i see a clinic full of cynics
who want to twist the peoples' wrist
they're watching every move we make
we're all included on the list

the lunatics have taken over the asylum
the lunatics have taken over the asylum

no nuclear the cowboy told us
and who am i to disagree
'cos when the madman flips the switch
the nuclear will go for me

the lunatics have taken over the asylum
the lunatics have taken over the asylum

i've seen the faces of starvation
but i just can not see the points
'cos there's so much food here today
that no one wants to take away

the lunatics have taken over the asylum
the lunatics have taken over the asylum

the lunatics have taken over the asylum - take away my right to choose
the lunatics have taken over the asylum - take away my point of view
the lunatics have taken over the asylum
the lunatics have taken over the asylum - take away my dignity, take these things away from me
the lunatics have taken over the asylum
the lunatics have taken over the asylum - take away my family, take awaythe right to speak
the lunatics have taken over the asylum take away my point of view, takeaway my right to choose

The More I See

the more that i see, the less i believe
the barbed wire fences have replaced all the trees
the houses of god are full of sinners every week
praying for forgiveness, for those they leave to bleed
and they keep telling me, it's not my concern
but when petrol bombs fly
when cars overturn
when you see children cry
because their cities are burning
who's going to show concern?

?

but the more that i see, the less i believe
like countries split in two, through religion, tradition and greed
the devil's curse is put upon, those who have solutions
and those like me too ignorant to find my own conclusions
is that why they're telling me, it's not my concern?
but when i see children cry
'cos that's all they can do
they are crying for help
and they're looking at you
what are you supposed to do?

?

the governing powers are confused
the armies becoming bemused
another bomb becomes defused
and the terrorists aren't amused
paisley is getting his shirt off
sinn fein are going insane
they strive to divide the countryside
but the border line remains
another attack leaves a widow in black
grieving for her bereaved
another kid with a brick gets shot i the back
and gets left on the pavement to bleed
and they keep telling me, it's not my concern
it's not my concern
it's not my concern

?

belfast's only half an hour away
close your eyes but it won't go away
belfast's only half an hour away
belfast's only half an hour away

does anybody know any jokes?
does anybody know any jokes?
does anybody know any jokes?

The Pressure Of Life


The Telephone Always Rings

hello?
it must be wonderful to live like you do
to have respect from everyone you know
to have surprises waiting outside your door
when you come home to answer your telephone


The Tunnel Of Love

consequences altered cases
broken noses altered faces
my ego altered altered egos
wherever i go so does me go
walk through the fields where the flowers are growing
carve out your names on the first tree you see
there are 22 catches when you strike your matches
and get down on your knees

in the tunnel of love - the tunnel of love
you fall in feet first - in the tunnel of love
you think of yourselves as really good friends
but you know how it always ends
in the tunnel of love

so you get engaged have a party
only 17 when the wedding bells changer
a room with a view and a kid on the way
hope you make it to the church on time
cause the wedding list is getting longer
the bottom drawer is getting fuller
and you're not getting any younger
can things get any better

in the tunnel of love - the tunnel of love
you fall in feet first - in the tunnel of love
and think of yourselves as really good friends
but you know how it always ends
in the tunnel of love, the tunnel of love

so consequences altered cases
you tried honeymoons in far away places
but the trial separation worked and
ended up in a divorce case
you gave up your friends for a new way of life
and both ended up as ex husband and wife
there were 22 catches when you struck your matches
and threw away your life in the tunnel of love
the tunnel of love you fell i feet first
in the tunnel of love and thought of yourselves as really good friends
but you know how it had to end in the tunnel of love
the tunnel of love, the tunnel of love
the tunnel of love, the tunnel of love
the tunnel of love, in the tunnel of love

Things We Do

do middle-aged women wear cameo broaches
do young office lechers drive clap out top porches
do sales girls at Taskals wear boots number seven
do you eat digestives at half past eleven

do you act your age, or the size of your shoes
has a man got to do, what a man's got to do
the things we do, the things we do
the things we do, the things we do

do Laland car workers vacate in Majolka
do daily crosswords while there on the toilet
do you talk in riddles or verbal diarrhea
do you drink real ale, then drown in your beer
is this what we are is there nothing inside
if you swallow your food, would you swallow your pride
the things we do, the things we do
the things we do, the things we do

do hip social workers wear militant badges
do show their beliefs on metal ???? jackets

Way On Down

where do we go to from here
what kind of sound do we follow
can we discard all our fears
of things that may happen tomorrow

way on down, way on down
way on down, way on down

putting us all down to chance
taking up when you take on the ball
show up with mysterious bands
showing unwanted people the door

way on down, way on down
way on down, way on down
way on down, way on down
way on down, way on down

abandon the old fashioned ways
that nobody wanted to know
discover exciting new places
where nobody wanted to go

way on down, way on down
way on down, way on down
way on down, way on down
way on down, way on down
way on down, way on down

We're Having All The Fun

we're having all the fun, we're having all the fun

i live in a flat, i like manchester united
i live with my girlfriend and my cat we're really happy
i like watching television wearing ?duffle? coats and moccasins
eating crispy pancakes and having monday haircuts that's been done

we're having all the fun, we're having all the fun

i live around the corner i like digging up my garden
i take ? ? to ? ? ?  five ever evening
it gives me half an hour before the pubs are open
i go in sit down and drink to quarter to eleven
then go home

we're having all the fun, we're having all the fun

we're quite happy to be what we turned out to be
we won't cause any fuse if we're allowed to be us
we're (supposed to be) having all the fun
we're (supposed to be) having all the fun
i live with a girl, i used to live with my brother
i like drinking sweet white wine, and smoking lots of ganja
when i go out to choose all the girls can't refuse
when they see my leather trousers my gold chain and my kung fu shoes
we're (supposed to be) having all the fun
we're (supposed to be) having all the fun
we're (supposed to be) having all the fun
we're (supposed to be) having all the fun

Well Fancy That!

you took me to france
on the promise, of teaching me french
we were told, to assembly, to meet up at ten
i was twelve and naive
you planned out our route
i sat in your car, my suitcase in the boot
on the M-1, and the A-1, until we reached dover
through passport control, you pulled your car over
on the liner, we stood on the deck, we left port
my first time abroad

a school trip to france
well fancy that
a weekend away to ?pally? ?francie?
well fancy that

we found the hotel, checked in to a room, and unpacked
it had been a long day, you said let's hit the sack
as i changed, i could feel your eyes watching me
i crept into bed, you pretended to read
the lights went out, i fell asleep
woke up with a shock, and your hands on me
i couldn't shout, i couldn't scream
let me out, let me dream, i turned onto my side
i laid there and cried

on my first night in france
well fancy that
you terrified me i just wanted to sleep
well fancy that

morning came,  light shined through
i left ?francie? arrived home
the hedge that you dragged me through
lead to a nervous breakdown
if i could have read, what was going on inside your head
i would have said, that i was blind to your devious mind
there's no excuse, but your abuse, and the scars that it leaves
where do you draw the line

on school trips to france
well fancy that
you had a good time
turned sex into crime
well fancy that
