"That Voodoo!"

"That Voodoo!"


That voodoo that you do
the shimmy lights through you
and no one can voodoo the voodoo
you do
do to me yeah

I'm sorry if I'm not that tough
but not that tough is tough enough
besides, the rough tough end up snuffed
or in an alleyway
anyway

I'm sorry if I'm not that smart
but not that smart is just a part
of speaking firmly from the heart
any day
anyway

That voodoo that you do
the shimmy lights through you
and no one can voodoo the voodoo
you do
do to me yeah

That voodoo that you do
the shimmy lights through you
and no one can voodoo the voodoo
you do
do to me yeah

a thrill a day keeps the chill away
love like a dagger and a sound like a wymowhey
a thrill a day keeps the chill away (that)
love like a dagger and a sound like a wymowhey (voodoo!)

"The Idea"

"The Idea"


I went to the zoo
To look at the animals
The first thing I saw
Was a wall full of handicapped

Some wearing green hats
And all sucking chocky bars
So I went and looked at
The three horned chameleon

The idea

He walked up and down
Just trying to get close to me
A split little hand
Scratching at the glass

I looked at the snakes
And I looked at the crocodiles
You'd better show me the man
Who made all of this

The idea

The idea

I could be religious if ...
You didn't have to kneel down
I could be religious if ...
A god would say "hello"

I could be religious if ...
An angel touched my shoulder
I could be religious if ...
They set the hymns to disco
(Like this)

Holy holy holy
Lord god almighty
God in three persons
Beloved trinity

Holy holy holy
All the saints adore thee
Christ in three persons
Beloved trinity

The idea

"The Magnificent Five"

"The Magnificent Five"


Long ago in London town
a man called Ant sat deeply sighing
he was wondering
which side of the fence he was on
prick up your ears...

time went by and soon
the one was five young hombres
burning fire
they were in no doubt
which side of the fence they were on
prick up your ears (mag-nificent five)...

he who writes in blood
doesn't want to be read
he must be learned by heart
he's got to be learned by heart

they believed in sex and looking good
with their own brand of music
they weren't pandering
so which side of the fence
are you on?

"Try This For Sighs"

"Try This For Sighs"


I call round your house
I try on your phone but you cry
Leave me alone leave me alone
I like your face you dig my eyes
Come on now honey try this for sighs
And if a push comes to a shove
And we have to call it love then
Baby I'll do it
Baby I'll do it
I don't drive no rig
I don't need no car so you cry
Leave me alone leave me alone
I like your face you dig my eyes
Come on now honey try this for sighs
I don't want no lip
I can smell your lies when you cry
Leave me alone leave me alone
You like my face I dig your thighs
Scrap that honey try this for sighs

"U.S.S.A."

"U.S.S.A."


One million a. d.
There'll be you there'll be me
Rocky's dead
That's rocky 1003
Red stars and stripes
One big team
With little europe
In between

U. s. s. a.
U. s. s. a.
U. s. s.
What you want is what you get now
U. s. s. a.
U. s. s. a.
U. s. s.
Rearrange the alphabet

One million a. d.

We get on happily
Rocky's dead
That's a real tragedy
Synthesizers made us slaves
So we smashed them up
To decorate our caves

Look out 'cos armageddon's gonna rock you
He got plans for you and me
Look out for armageddon on the goodship
Faith, hope, and anarchy

One million a. d.
We don't dig history
We killed the gonk
To avenge rocky
We've archive footage
How it all began
The film was called
How the west was won
Move over

"Valentine's"

"Valentine's"


I bought you flowers, to smooth things over
By the time they died, the time they died
The armistice was over
I bought you roses, red ones
To try and chill you out, trouble is
I bought you flowers, to smooth things over
By the time they died, the time they died
The armistice was over

I bought you roses, red ones
To try and chill you out, trouble is
I know the answers
Before you spit them out

Is this love, or just a habit
If it's love, I never had it
Pray for serenity so no one has to care for me
No I know where the pain is
I know where the hurt is
I know where the problems lie
Is this love, or just a habit

Was I like a frightened rabbit
Caught up in the headlight of your smile

I bought you flowers, to smooth things over
By the time they died, the time they died
The armistice was over
I know you think i long for pastures new
Believe me I want to be with anyone
Anyone but you just my bad behaviour
Four letter words my saviour fuck it
May the last words you hear be mine
And every day a valentine

We know where the pain is
We know where the hurt is
We know where the problems lie

Don't expect kindness from strangers
A life that's free from danger
Pray for serenity
So terrified of losing me

I know where the pain is
I know where the hurt is
I know where the problems lie

I know you think it's tragic
To heal it with black magic

"Vampires"

"Vampires"


I want your heart
I want your soul
I want everything you hold dear
I want the sinews that bind you together
I know enough is never enough
I want the broad road and 20/20 vision
Your wrist a keyboard of perfume
Money cannot buy
And I'm in a position to say
The camera does not lie
There's a lot of vampires out there
Hanging out to grab your soul
They don't live in Transylvania
They don't live in rock 'n' roll
I want your bones
I want your blood
I want everything you hold dear
I want the sinews that bind you together
I made an educated guess
There's a panic in the lingerie
You know I tremble at each touch
Close my eyes and sigh
Then fly off like a bullet
For the darkside of the sky
I want you pain
I want your pleasure
I want everything you hold dear
I want the sinews that bind you together
I know enough is never enough
Hatcheck to showgirl
Let's to bed madam
I know there's no way out but through together
Wet with sex
Wet with sweat
Embody your body
There's a lot of vampires out there
Hanging out to grab your soul
They don't live in Transylvania
They don't live in rock 'n' roll
Rock 'n' roll
Vampires

"Vanity"

"Vanity"


I cannot speak of what I feel
And yet I feel so much
I know that woman's arms can heal me
Like an angel's touch
She says she likes the accent
She thinks it's so polite
I think she going to like it more
When we're alone tonight
She cannot speak of what she feels
And yet she feels so much
Except her lover's arms can heal her
Like an angel's touch
Money's money my little honey
A rich man's jokes are always funny
Build them walls but I'm coming through
Don't trouble trouble till it troubles you
Money's money my little honey
A rich man's jokes are always funny
Ring came off in heights of passion
Wear it now, and that's not fashion
You open up your heart heart behold
Another door slams shut
And tongues are not of steel
But take a look how deep they cut

"Very Long Ride"

"Very Long Ride"


I got up early and the sun was by my side
I thought you was my friend
But all you did was lie
And now I carry this until the day I die
I keep on riding till the sun goes from the sky
Sometimes you get the bear and
Sometimes the bear gets you
I know it's the only fight you've got
Look what it's done to you
I carry this .357 in my hand
Don't ask me why
If you don't want to understand
I keep on moving I keep driving through this land
And by the moonlight will travel if I can
It's gonna take nerve
It's gonna take real nerve
It's gonna take more than you ever ever ever
Thought it could
Very Long Ride it's a Very Long Ride
Very Long Ride it's a
Long Ride
I travel light cos I am the lone rider
I travel light cos I am the outsider
I travel light cos I'm a very good fighter
I travel light all through the day
And through the night
It's gonna take more than reaction
Much more than a brave attempt
You're gonna need skin like a Rhino
To face such cold contempt
I drive in style I drive a '99 beamer
And you just wait until the time that I see ya
You better look again before you look away
I will be driving by the Kings Highway
It's gonna take nerve
It's gonna take real nerve
It's gonna take more than you ever ever ever
Thought it could
Very Long Ride it's a Very Long Ride
Very Long Ride it's a
Long Ride
Very very
Demy-semy-quaverous
Very Long Ride
Very very
Demy-semy-quaverous
Very Long Ride
I keep on moving now until I reach the end
But I'm not moving cos I'm looking for revenge
And I'm not moving cos a friend of mine crossed me
I'll just keep on until I get you the fuck off me
It's gonna take nerve
It's gonna take real nerve
It's gonna take more than you ever ever ever
Thought it could
Very Long Ride it's a Very Long Ride
Very Long Ride it's a
Long Ride
