"Grey Day"

"Grey Day"



When I get home it's late at night,
I'm black and bloody from my life,
I haven't time to clean my hands,
Cuts will only sting me through my dreams.

It's well past midnight as I lie
In a semi-conscious state.
I dream of people fighting me
Without any reason I can see.

In the morning I awake,
My arms my legs my body aches,
The sky outside is wet and grey
So begins another weary day.
So begins another weary day.

After eating I go out,
People passing by me shout.
I can't stand this agony
Why don't they talk to me?

In the park I have to rest
I lie down and I do my best,
The rain is falling on my face
I wish I could sink without a trace.

In the morning I awake,
My arms my legs my body aches,
The sky outside is wet and grey,
So begins another weary day.
So begins another weary day.

In the park I have to rest
I lie down and I do my best,
The rain is falling on my face
I wish I could sink without a trace.

In the morning I awake,
My arms my legs my body aches,
The sky outside is wet and grey,
So begins another weary day.
So begins another weary day.

"Guns"

"Guns"



I read a brand new paper
About a man who had a thousand guns
Lived in the Southern States
Ran away from everyone
Felt it wasn't safe
Even in the Southern States

I read a brand new paper
Walking down my own street
The man with a thousand guns
Has taken to his feet
He felt it wasn't safe
Even in the Southern States

He thought that he might die
But was he frightened by
Anyone with a gun?
Well, every stranger's danger
Everybody has one
But alone and hungry
He couldn't eat his.....
Guns

I watched my television
Sitting on the floor
The window man was watching
Me and a million more
He read me the news
Someone's getting abused

He thought that we might die
He wasn't frightened why
Everyone has a bomb
It's a passing danger
Or so he said
Everybody has one
Care to see or just wait
(That's just great)

"House Of Fun"

"House Of Fun"



Good morning miss
Can I help you son?
Sixteen today
And up for fun
I'm a big boy now
Or so they say
So if you'll serve
I'll be on my way

Box of balloons
With the feather-light touch
Pack of party-poppers
That pop in the night
A toothbrush and hairspray
Plastic grin
Miss Clay on all corners
Has just walked in

Welcome to the House of Fun
Now I've come of age
Welcome to the House of Fun
Welcome to the lion's den
Temptation's on his way
Welcome to the House of

N-n-n-n-n-n-no no miss
You misunderstood
Sixteen big boy
Full pint in my manhood
I'm up to date
And the date's today
So if you'll serve
I'll be on my way

Welcome to the House of Fun
Now I've come of age
Welcome to the lion's den
Temptation's on his way
Welcome to the House of (Fun)

I'm sorry son
But we don't stock
Party gimmicks
In this shop
Try the House of Fun
It's quicker if you run
This is a chemist
Not a jokers' shop!

Party hats
Simple enough clear
Comprehende savvy understand
Do you hear?
A pack of party hats
With the coloured tips
Too late!
Gorgon's heard gossip
Well hello Joe, hello Miss Clay
Many happy returns from the day

Welcome to the House of Fun
Now I've come of age
Welcome to the House of Fun
Welcome to the lion's den
Temptation's on his way
Welcome to the House of Fun

Welcome to the House of Fun...

"How Can I Tell You?"

"How Can I Tell You?"



Communication is a skill you must acquire,
it will help you through your life, it is essential
You have to walk into this world with your head held high,
be fluid child, don't become crystalline,
you're gonna have to swim with the molecules

How can I tell you, you have to open up your heart
How can I tell you, be honest from the very start
How I feel, make a stand for what is true
Try to be decent in all that you do.
How can I tell you, you've got to give to get support
How can I tell you, a little effort & a lot more thought
How I feel, check the wonder in all that you see
You've got to get loving unconditionally.

You're gonna have to walk that road, you're gonna bear some heavy loads
You'll make mistakes & you'll come close
You're gonna get hurt by the one you love most
You're gonna have to take some pain, accept the loss to live again
Forgive yourself as you'll be free,
there's more to love than just loving you see.

How can I tell you, the laughter on a crowded bus
How can I tell you, making space when you're being crushed
How I feel, a letter I receive from you
A hug & a kiss when you're feeling blue
How can I tell you, the last chocolate in the box
How can I tell you, a pair of mittens & some cotton socks
How I feel, I'll make a fire when you are cold
Don't worry darling I'll love you when you grow old

How can I tell you, 6 candles on your birthday cake
How can I tell you, a Christmas card that I helped you make
How I feel, when you ran in your first race
The time I stuck an ice cream in your face
How can I tell you, the last chocolate in the box
How can I tell you, a pair of mittens & some cotton socks
How I feel, I'll make a fire when you are cold
Don't worry darling I'll love you when you grow old

"I Chase The Devil"

"I Chase The Devil"



I'm gonna burn your soul into a black, lump of coal

Lucifer, Son of the Mourning, I'm gonna chase you out of Earth!

I'm gonna put on an iron shirt, and chase the devil out of Earth
I'm gonna put on an iron shirt, and chase Satan out of Earth
I'm gonna send him to outer space, to find another race
I'm gonna send him to outer space, to find another race

Cause
Satan is an evilous man
But he won't mix it with this man
And if I catch him with a gun in his hand
I'm gonna chase him from the land

I'm gonna put on an iron shirt, and chase the devil out of Earth
I'm gonna put on an iron shirt, and chase Satan out of Earth
I'm gonna send him to outer space, to find another race
I'm gonna send him to outer space, to find another race

Cause
Satan is an evilous man
But he won't mix it with this man
And if I catch him with a gun in his hand
I'm gonna punish him
I'm gonna send him from the land

I'm gonna send him to outer space, to find another race
I'm gonna send him to outer space, to find another race

Cause
Satan is an evilous man
But he won't mix it with this man
And if I catch him with a gun in his hand
I'm gonna send him from the land

Satan is an evilous man
But he won't mix it with this man
And if I catch him with a gun in his hand
I'm gonna send him from the land

"I Pronounce You"

"I Pronounce You"



There's a feeling in your stomach a light trembling at the knees
Not even knowing who the luck fellow might be
Bridesmaids are cleaning the court-house bell
Horse-driven carriages wait patiently in hell

Happiness has been arranged for some time in July
Invitations have been sent I'm so bitter I could cry
Congratulations flown in from a long-lost friend
For the big occasion regretting that he can't attend
And as family tradition is busy making up your mind
Gallantly standing draped in his holy shroud
God's representative mumbles to a tearful crowd

I now pronounce you
I now pronounce you

Mother father wake up you've overlooked one thing
The daughter you planned for for years
Won't get to wear your ring
Instead she'll be running off into the dark of night
Straight into hungry arms that long to hold her tight
And as family tradition is busy making up your mind
Gallantly standing draped in his holy shroud
God's representative mumbles to a tearful crowd

I now pronounce you
I now pronounce you

There's a feeling deep inside of you a feeling that of ease
You're the sweetest thing that could ever happen for me
Bridesmaids are cleaning the court-house bell
Horse-driven carriages wait patiently in hell
Gallantly standing draped in his holy shroud
God's representative mumbles to a tearful crowd

I now pronounce you
I now pronounce you

"I'll Compete"

"I'll Compete"



I'll be you're promotional copy
In this here number one band
Take your business beyond your farthest dreams
Sounds good sounds great sounds really grand

But wait
Let us hurry now time is catching up
And it looks like the music hall race has caught me up

But I'll compete yeah yeah for all that it's worth
I'll compete for all that it's worth
I'll compete on the beat for all that It's worth
I'll compete for all that I'm worth

I'll be your pop swap come floppy disc
Race you along the upper deck
Retrieve from you my withheld treasure
Then watch you sink with your sunken rotting wreck

Let us hurry now time is running out
Let's not forget time is money
Said the businessman to his faithful scout

But I'll compete in the national press for all that it's worth
I'll compete for all that it's worth
I'll compete on the beat for all that It's worth
I'll compete internationally for all that it's worth

We must hurry now time is closing in
And I'm getting no younger in fact
Five years closer to my pension scheme

I'll compete yeah yeah for all that it's worth
I'll compete for all that it's worth
I'll compete on the beat for all that It's worth
I'll compete with rest of the pack for all that it's worth

"Idiot Child"

"Idiot Child"



Although he had past history
The mischief has soon passed
A spunky little kid from North West 5
Longed for the mystery to last

Free as the wind
Wild as a march hare
With oh so much to learn
Careful that you don't get burned

The boy who wouldn't grow up
Chasing his own tail
The boy who couldn't grow up
An outing on bail

Oh, idiot child clutching to life
Always made to grow up, always told to shut up
Idiot child clutching to life
Always destined to fail, always ending up in jail

Oh, behold the gherkin men
With their military stance did shout
Mark my words Mrs. Hutchinson
We'll sort this laddie out

The parent teachers association
Secretly fixed a date
A giant swoop is authorized
To sign and seal his fate

Oh, sent away for a year and a day
He was taken so orderly
And drilled into his delicate shell
To behave normally

Oh, idiot child clutching to life
The boy who never grew up, always told to shut up
Idiot child clutching onto life
Always destined to fail, always ending up in jail

Somethings are so predictable ain't they
Somethings just never change, look around
Most animals are trained at an early age
But some of us just never lay down

Idiot child just clutching to life
The boy who never grew up, always made to shut up
Idiot child clutching to life
Always destined to fail, always ending up in jail

Idiot child clutching to life
The boy who never grew up, always told to shut up
Idiot child clutching onto life
Always destined to fail, always ending up in jail
Always ending up in jail, always destined to fail

"If I Didn't Care"

"If I Didn't Care"



I know there's time
I know there's time
I know there's time
I know there's time

If I didn't care more than words can say
If I didn't care would I feel this way
If this isn't love then why do I thrill
And what makes my head go round and round
While my heart stands still

If I didn't care would it be the same
Would my every prayer begin and end with just your name
And could I be sure that this is love beyond compare
Would all this be true if I didn't care for you
If I didn't care

I know there's time
I know there's time
I know there's time
I know there's time

If I didn't care if I didn't care
If I didn't care more than words can say
If I didn't care would I feel this way
And if this isn't love then why do I thrill
And what makes my head go round and round
While my heart stands still

I know there's time for us
I know there's time
I know there's time for us
I know there's time

"If You Think There's Something"

"If You Think There's Something"



If you think there's something
If you think there's something
If you think there's something

I don't care what I look like
I don't care what you think
Because I know these things are not important
They're just material and ink

I like things comfortable
And I like things that look real good
I don't care about the cut, it is enough
If it's smooth and not too rough

If you think there's something
Could it be that there's not?
If you think there's something
Is there or is there not?
If you think there's something
It can be that there's not

So if you think there is something
Something that there is not
Ooh-ooh, perhaps a pair of trousers
Or a band that plays rock

If you think there's something
Could it be that there's not?
If you think there's something
Is there or is there not?
If you think there's something
If you think there's something
If you think there's something

Dodgy instrumental break....

That fine physique, that pretty face
Lights up his fantasies - puts them in place
Oh what's his stance, where is he coming from?
We try to follow but he's gone

If you think there's something
Could it be that there's not?
If you think there's something
Is there or is there not?
If you think there's something
It can be that there's not
If you think there's something

If you think there's something
If you think there's something
If you think there's something

Perhaps and maybe not

If you think there's something
Can we agree there's not?
If you think there's something
And we say that there's not
If you think there's something...
