"Pac-A-Mac"

"Pac-A-Mac"



I wear my cap with pride
When swaying side to side
Indoors where it be crude
Too late to find me shrewd.
I never lay in doubt
When walking from about
At home where it be warm
You're sound asleep unborn!

I'm a small chap
Walk tall chap
When it rains
Cats and dogs
From my pocket I pick a pac-a-mac.

Inside a rubber wall yelling
Screams echo, off the ceiling.
My love could penetrate
So I'll leave you now prostrate.
My fag smoulders out and out
And odours waft there about
So I give my head a kip
My cap's worn to a split.

I'm a small chap
Walk tall chap
When it rains
Cats and dogs
From my pocket I pick a pac-a-mac.

I wear my cap with pride
When swaying side to side
Indoors where I feel nude
Too late to find me shrewd.
I never lay in doubt
When walking from about
At home where it be warm
You're sound asleep unborn!

I'm a small chap
Walk tall chap
When it rains
Cats and dogs
From my pocket I pick a pac-a-mac.

"Perfect Place"

"Perfect Place"



Recession a perfect fit
Makes no difference where he sits
Not since they cut the ties
Put some sadness in his eye

Promises come and go
Soak the sun in drifts of snow,
A qualified butt-collector,
Working for the private sector.

He's seen them go
Without a trace
This could be it
The perfect place

They took the plans from up my sleeve
By an architect, on New Years Eve
There it goes, a new bronze tower
Washed away with an April shower

He's seen them go
Without a trace
This could be it
The perfect place

But when you've gone,
I'm still here the only one
My eyes and my ears
Will be here 'til I'm gone
And it's still the perfect place
To rest a tired and weary face
And it's still the perfect place
To lose your soul with a trace

A lived-in face with a root
Of matted hair, a smiling tooth
A dirty hand he picks his nose
Scratches underneath his clothes

He's seen them go
Without a trace
This could be it
The perfect place
He's seen them go
Without a trace
This must be it ...

"Please Don't Go"

"Please Don't Go"



I used to walk you home
Then walk back alone
As I remember
I just can't remember

I used to walk you home
Then walk back alone
As I remember
I just can't remember

I will admit that there were times
When I was rude and so unkind
But can't we kiss and make amends
Oh why oh why can't we be friends

When we were seen
It was like a dream
Always together
I thought forever

But now you seem
That it's time to end
But I say never
N-n-n-no never

But when we kissed and when we touched
It used to mean so very much
But now your cold and want to go
Before you do, I want you to know

Please don't go

Please don't go because I really know
That I love you I really love you

I used to walk you home, then walk back alone
As I remember, I just can't remember

But when we kissed and when we touched
It used to mean so very much
But now your cold and want to go
Before you do, I want you to know

Please don't go because I really know
That I love you I really love you
Please don't go because I really know
That I love you I really love you
Please don't go because I really know
That I love you I really love you

(Please don't go....love you)

"Powder Blue"

"Powder Blue"



We've listened to so many records
I've smoked so many fags
There's still a bottle of wine in one of them carrier bags
The world is spinning
Slowly outside in holloway
The birds have started singing
So can't we just stay

On and off the sofa
The candles nearly out
Our popstar friends have all gone home
Or maybe just out and about
And I can feel you dreaming
And I'm dreaming of you
Together slowly drifting
Into the powder blue
La la la la la
La la la la la la
Aretha franklin playing
Ann singing along, quite quietly
She knows the whole song
And all the backing vocals
In a dreamy kind of way
The birds have started singing
So can't we just stay?
Can't we just stay?
The world is giving up
And there's just me and you
Together slowly drifting into the powder blue
Into the powder blue

"Primrose Hill"

"Primrose Hill"



A man opened his window and stared up Primrose Hill
Out there enjoying themselves I've seen them from this sill
Green splashed with white and red going brown
Children baiting animals running up and down

I stare out of this window
See the world go past

Slipping from the newspapers stacked against the wall
Piles of colour supplements squeeze between his fall
For a fleeting second I was up that hill
Although I've never been there I wish I was there still

I stare out of this window
See the world go past
I've read and looked at everything
I know it off by heart

Deliveries every day newspapers and food
Never had to venture out the phone has been removed
Open up the window and stare up Primrose Hill
Sitting here it's dark outside and everything is still

I stare out of this window
See the world go past
I've read and looked at everything
I know it off by heart

"Promises Promises"

"Promises Promises"



I'll promise you a gift worth much more if not sold.
Half for you and half for me if I may act so bold.
I'll promise you a home that money cannot buy.
All good homely spirits walking by and by.

I'll promise you a world of making of amend,
And on our anniversary invite you round the bend.

I'll promise you a life it only takes a tick.
All the fruits of life carry you aboard my ship.
I'll promise you a world of making of amend,
And on the anniversary invite you round the bend.

Don't feign to me you're only acting when you care,
So I've decided on decisions that will not strike you very fair.

Let's devise a plan and we'll think about it twice,
Sketching watercolour paints, bury hatchets in the ice.

Don't feign to me you're only acting when you care,
So we decided on decisions that will not strike you very fair.

Let's devise a plan and we'll think about it twice,
Let's make mates merry, bury hatchets in the ice.

Don't feign to me you're only acting when you care,
So we decided on decisions that will not strike you very fair.

Now let's devise a plan and we'll think about it twice,
Let's make mates merry, bury hatchets in the ice.

Don't feign to me you're only acting when you care,
So we decided on decisions that will not strike you very fair.

Now let's devise a plan and we'll think about it twice,
Sketching watercolour paints, bury hatchets in the ice.

"Prospects"

"Prospects"



A train ride to Tuesday
A platform far away
Scarlet shades of evening move clouds of grey
Awaking, arriving
The dirty station where
He passes crowds of people who don't see him there

Here's a desert island room
For a man who's cast away
Stranded in this home from home
From his family
Far away

Home.
Well this is it
This is it
Is this my heart
I miss you with all my heart
This is not
Is this not
My home

One shoe-lace cardboard suitcase
One passport from the Queen
One room for a light bulb
Where no-one's been
Sticks and stones, my old bones
Not like nineteen fifty-four
Then the liked me fine
But not anymore

This empty room
Where he's marooned
With nothing left to say
But in the dark
He thinks of home far away

Home.
Well this is it
This is it
Is this my heart
I miss you with all my heart
This is not
Is this not
My home

I feel cold, getting old
More than the climate's changed
Stranded on this island
The rate of exchange

Here's a desert island room
For a man who's cast-away
Today he will not be at work
There is no work anyway

How is it when you feel it
Do you wonder what gets you down
You're looking in the windows
When you walk this town

"Rainbows"

"Rainbows"



Petulant elbows, tiny kicking feet
I've been waiting for this moment, I'm on a roll
I've spent infinity counting silent sheep
I don't need no more sleep, no, I'm all ready to go

I think today is gonna be my birthday
So I'm taking in the air as if it were my last

I've got nothing to lose, I've got nothing to gain
So just like where I'm coming from
There's only one place to go
There's only one place to aim

I'm sliding down rainbows
Out into the wild uncultivated child
I'm taking in the sideshow
Where angels heaven sent prepare us for the main event

Now I'm gatecrashing into your scene
Like it or lump it I'm with the team
No invitation, pupil dilation
A little bit pissed but hey, it's only a dream

I ain't got nothing to lose, I ain't got nothing to gain
So just like where I'm coming from
There's only one place to go
There's only one place to aim

I'm sliding down rainbows
Out into the wild uncultivated child
I'm taking in the sideshow
Where angels heaven sent prepare us for the main event

I'm sliding down rainbows
Out into the wild uncultivated child
I'm taking in the sideshow
Where angels heaven sent prepare us for the main event

I feel today it could be my birthday
So I'm taking in the air as if it was my last

I ain't got nothing to lose, I ain't got nothing to gain
So just like where I'm coming from
There's only one place to go
There's only one place to aim, oh

I'm sliding down rainbows
Out into the wild uncultivated child
I'm taking in the sideshow
Where angels heaven sent prepare us for the main event

I'm sliding down rainbows
Out into the wild uncultivated child

"Razor Blade Alley"

"Razor Blade Alley"



Oooh I didn't talk too much in fact not at lot
Oh but to ask her the price I was to be no fool
Money's no time to waste or to shoot up the wall
You got the know how the place teacher take me to your school

She lead the way from the alley back to her house
Must not be seen going in must not be seen coming out
She said I looked mighty but thin she told me
"I'm gonna give you a second helping"

Ooh Razor Blade Alley I've been there
Razor Blade Alley neither of us cared
It was the prime time but the wrong place
It was my first time I hope my last taste

I'm just too shy to check in but this pain of pissing razors is cutting in

Mmm felt like a knight without shining armour on
At the time she thought she was in a dream
Floating up on cloud nine now I awake
She is nowhere but the razor cuts deeper everywhere
