Madness

"My Girl"

"My Girl"



My girl's mad at me
I didn't wanna see the film tonight
I found it hard to say
She thought I'd had enough of her
Why can't she see
She's lovely to me?
But I like to stay in
And watch t.v. on my own
Every now and then

My girl's mad at me
Been on the telephone for an hour
We hardly said a word
I tried and tried but I could not be heard
Why can't I explain?
Why do I feel this pain?
'Cause everything I say
She doesn't understand
She doesn't realise
She takes it all the wrong way

My girl's mad at me
We argued just the other night
I thought we'd got it straight
We talked and talked until it was light
I thought we'd agreed
I thought we'd talked it out
Now when I try to speak
She says that I don't care
She says I'm unaware
And now she says I'm weak

"My Girl 2"



Oui oui, si, si, ja ja, da da,
Oui oui, si si, ja ja, da da,
Oui oui, si si, ja ja, da da
Oui oui, si si, ja ja,
Lately, I've been wondering about you
And the things you do
I'm in love but you drive me mad
Be so sad to be losing you
Last night, when we had that fight
In your car, left me at the bar
Then I see her talking to her friends
Acting like she just don't care
She has flare, and how she moves
With such grace, likes she own the space
She's so fine, she looks so cool
Got no time nobody's fool
My girl, she don't read books
Oh my girl, she gives dirty looks
I'm going to be, what she wants me to be
I'm her man, doing all I can
My girl, she's above the rest
My girl, she sure the best

She's cool, there's no doubt
She's so fine, she's al al ala lal al all of mine
I'm so glad, she wants to be with me
She got looks and personality
I want her, all of the time
To be mine, and all of her time to be free
Standing right by me
And to see, that it has to be
Oui oui, si si, ja ja, da da
Oui oui, si si, ja, ja

My girl, likes to drive at night
My girl, is so out of sight
My girl, heads above the rest
My girl, she sure the best
She's so cool and there's no doubt
She's so fine, she's al al ala lal al all of mine
I'm so glad, she wanna be with me
She got looks and personality

Cause my girl
My girl
My girl
She's my girl

"Nail Down The Days"

"Nail Down The Days"



You give me something that I just can't explain
I was lost in my childhood feeling lonely
I'll be the big man I'll be the big noise
I'll be the quare fellow aaah

With these flat hand and a mind of my own
I was lost in dreams of a different home
I'll be the big man I'll be the big noise
I'll be the quare fellow aaah

On these great shores I was born an immigrant to this city
Under the bright lights under the bright lights

I can't be happy 'til it's understood
I'll make my own way
Give me something that I can call my own
I nail down the days
I nail down the days

In this land I was raised to bow down to the man
I walked under the steel I walked under the steel

Nothing's changed so I'll wait and I'll pray
Come now what may
Live and work for the best that they'll pay
Nail down the days
Nail down the days

See me a stranger and I'll call you a friend
You can lead me a lamb to the slaughter
I'll be the big man I'll be the big noise
I'll be the quare fellow aaah

Nothing's changed so I'll wait and I'll pray
Come now what may
Live and work for the best that they'll pay
Nail down the days
Nail down the days

"Never Knew Your Name"

"Never Knew Your Name"



It was very late in the discotheque
I was feeling blue as I sometimes do
I turned around it was time to go
A face in the crowd a face I didn't know
We got to talking for a little while
You said it's not the sort of thing you usually do
Talking to strangers so late in the night
These days you never know

Well I thought you were nice I even told you so
But you smiled so shyly and said to me
I bet you say that to all the girls you meet
But it isn't so
Yes, the club was closing so we had to leave
We walked out together just a little ill at ease
I would have liked to have walked you home
But you said you'd catch the bus so I ended up alone

I never knew your name nor your telephone number
Will I ever see you again? I wonder?

It wasn't any longer than an hour or two
That lonely street I said goodbye to you
You glanced back at me as I turned the corner
Was the last I saw of you

Oh I wanted to call, call out your name
But stupid pride and idiot shame
Hesitated, scared of playing the fool
So you walked away, from Mr Cool

I never knew your name nor your telephone number
Will I ever see you again? I wonder?
No, I never knew your name nor your telephone number
Will I see you again? Oh girl I wonder?
It was very late in the discotheque
I was feeling blue as I sometimes do
I thought you were nice I told you so
But I ended up alone

No, I never knew your name nor your telephone number
Will I ever see you again? Girl, I wonder?

It's so very late in the discotheque and I'm feeling blue
As I always do
I turn around 'cause its time to go

"New Delhi"

"New Delhi"



New Delhi at three A.M.
Just arrived by K.L.M.
Left the airport in the heat
In the bus strange people meet
Driving through the starless night
Passing very unusual sights

Left the bus at five to five
Caught a taxi started to drive
He thought I was a millionaire
And accordingly put up the fare
Dawn was breaking in the east
Causing this hot night to cease

Mosquitos buzzing in my ears
Grating sound of clashing gears
Burning rubber filled the air
Taxi driver began to swear
The heat was burning my head was turning
It was then the car broke down
Just on the outskirts of town

A camel from the Dhrangadhra
Silently passed by our car
A vulture circled high above in the air
I had to shade my eyes to cover the glare
Sweating in the plastic seats
Hard to breathe in the increasing heat

Lying back my mind started to
Drift into an uneasy sleep
I dreamt I was in New Delhi
Slowly dying of la grippe

"Night Boat To Cairo"

"Night Boat To Cairo"



It's just gone noon
Half past monsoon
On the banks of the river Nile
Here comes the boat
Only half-afloat
Oarsman grins a toothless smile
Only just one more
To this desolate shore
Last boat along the river Nile
Doesn't seem to care
No more wind in his hair
As he reaches his last half mile
The oar snaps in his hand
Before he reaches dry land
But the sound doesn't deafen his smile
Just pokes at wet sand
With an oar in his hand
Floats off down the river Nile
Floats off down the river Nile

(All aboard, night boat to Cairo!)

(Night boat to Cairo!)

"Nightmare Nightmare"

"Nightmare Nightmare"



Captain this ship is sinking I can't see the wood for the hole
Captain well I've been thinking
Why don't you give me just a little control

I call to the flying moon nnnn no no

You know I've been drinking when I call out to the flying moon
Can you tell me am I still dreaming if you leave me not a moment too soon

I call to the flying moon nnnn no no

Jump with me out of this nightmare nightmare
Why don't you jump with me out of this nightmare nightmare

I know this world is turning but I can't keep my feet on the floor
Sometimes the air is burning and I hear a knock on someone else's door

I call to the flying moon nnnn no no

Jump with me out of this nightmare nightmare
Why don't you jump with me out of this nightmare nightmare

Don't let go
Don't let go

Somewhere around a bonfire under the withering starry sky
I'll meet you beneath the moonlight and we'll jump as the wind blows by

And we'll call to the flying moon

Jump with me out of this nightmare nightmare
Why don't you jump with me out of this nightmare nightmare

Don't let go hold on tight
Don't let go hold on tight
Don't let go hold on tight
Don't let go hold on tight

Don't let go

"No Money"

"No Money"



She'd gotten used to the idle life
Following the sun was her full time occupation
A lesson to us all footloose for the education
Oh but look at her now foxtrotting the globe
With her head in the clouds

I haven't got no money to keep this affair afloat
And I don't think that it's funny it looks like I've sunk my boat
But she'll keep me dangling on and on and on

Well furs and pearls I'm trapped in your pocket
Where six foot toys stumble upon it
Your high class ways have seen better days
But to me you'll always be complicating infatuating

I haven't got no money to keep this affair afloat
And I don't think that it's funny it looks like I've sunk my boat

I haven't got no money to keep this affair afloat
And I don't think that it's funny it looks like I've sunk my boat
But she keeps me dangling on and on and on

Royal Britannia the jet set dreams on and on
Into another sun drenched scene
Where kings and queens and jesters preen

I haven't got no money to keep this affair afloat
And I don't think that it's funny it looks like I've sunk my boat

I haven't got no money to keep this affair afloat
And I don't think that it's funny it looks like I've sunk my boat

"Not Home Today"

"Not Home Today"



She says he's gone away on a short holiday
He won't be back for awhile
The twelve from the bench stood up
And hesitated he'll be leaving
Right after this trial

Circumstance, evidence who can cheat providence
He wished he could go back again
A flick of the wrist
He wished that he missed
Not guilty is all he can say

Pass 'round the gossip now
Let's wait and see
Pass 'round the tray now
Let's have some tea
My boys haven't seen him
He's been working away
Don't bother (looking) (asking)
He's not home today
Not home today

T-shirts and panties
With free tickles and smudges
In the end you'll believe what you feel
When ten hands are aiming
And no-one complaining
In a sense it could be more real

"Nutty Theme"

"Nutty Theme"



Hello Good Evening And Welcome

I've been down the high road towards the crossroads
To hear the sound that's buggin me
Catchy little rhythms in music and rhyme, its that nutty sound you see

Rhythm....

As I got nearer I heard it clearer it started to affect my brain
Its that nutty rhythm that gets you thinking your almost going insane.
I felt the ground shake,
I had a feeling I was sitting on an old steam train

Shaking in me knee bones and me elbows, its driving me around the bend
Uncontrollable feelings sends me reeling
There's no need top pretend

Melody...

It had me spell bound, span me head round
I could feel myself going mad

Now I am an addict
I have to hear it
Everything else sounds bad.....
