"Permission"

"Permission"


Some days when the air is thick
And the people try to breathe the air
I try to thread the needles eye
And reach across the street to where
The presence on the corner stands
Watches from the corners of their eyes
They need permission
And your submission
Will make them fade away like summer rain
They need permission
Their intuition
Could turn a protest into pain

They wait in patience for the spark
That's brewing in some angry cries
It's happened many times before
They have to stop them when they try

They need permission
And your submission
Will make them fade away like summer rain
They need permission
Their intuition
Could turn a protest into pain

Permission
Permission

They always have the time of day
To feel the heat from where they stand
Sometimes the mystery is enough
To dore the blows from angry hand
But when the trouble hits the fan
They never shed tears for the banned

They need permission
And your submission
Will make them fade away like summer rain
They need permission
Their intuition
Could turn a protest into pain
Permission
Permission
Permission
Permission...

They need permission
And your submission
Will make them fade away like summer rain
They need permission
Their intuition
Could turn a protest into pain
Permission
Permission
Permission
Permission...

"Pin Up"

"Pin Up"


She's a centrespread special size of the month
She's the one on the wall
Watched by him she's scared to move
She's very well known only in the one stance
She's the girl that survived over a hundred million glances
She's the pin up
She's always on his mind a technicolor dream
The secret weapon
She lives on his locker door
She's the girl he dreams of when he's at sea
Although she's in 2-D he'd like her at home waiting
She's the pin up
She's the pin up
All over submarines
They think she's so serene
As a mermaid she don't look much
But such a sin could be this year's last year's thing
She's a charity gives something for nothing
A wallchart for his heart a victim of all his desires
Sometimes he dreams of a scratch me scratch me section
A rope ladder of hair a Babylon for him to climb
She's the pin up
She's the pin up
All over submarines
They think she's so serene
As a mermaid she don't look much
But such a sin could be this year's last year's thing
She's a centrespread special size of the month
She's the one on his wall
Watched by him she's scared to move
She's very well known always in the one stance
She's the girl who'll survive over a hundred million glances
She's the pin up
She's the pin up

"Princess Of The Streets"

"Princess Of The Streets"


She's gone and left me
I don't know why
That girl she's crazy
She made me cry
She's gone and left me
I don't know why
Yeah, she's the queen of the street
What a piece of meat

She's real good looking
She makes me sigh
Blue jeans and leather
Her heels are high
She's real good looking
She makes me sigh
Yeah, she's the queen of the street
What a special treat

She's no lady
She'll stab you in the back
She's no lady
She's princess of the pack

With words of fire
She'll make you small
With eyes that smile
She'll make you tall
With words of fire
She'll make you small
But you would rather wait a year
'Til she gave you a call

She's gone and left me
I don't know why
That girl she's crazy
She made me cry
She's gone and left me
I don't know why
But she's queen of the streets
What a piece of meat

She's no lady
She'll stab you in the back
She's no lady
She's princess of the pack

"Punch And Judy"

"Punch And Judy"


Punch remembers where he has been
Judy knows he's being fair
Punch has always hugged her tightly
Judy's waited on his touch
Punch has dreamed about her every night
And Judy's never had that much
Punch always had a sense of humour
And Judy must've realised that
He always cut a famous figure
With his truncheon and his hat
Judy's always been his bright flag
Shows the audience a smile
Cos she knows when they've all gone home
She can lick him clean in style
See such soul and beauty
In Punch And Judy
Punch has played the famous villian
Wants to rest his aching feet
Judy says she's more than willing
Wants to lay back in the heat
There's a few more shows to pack in
Cos his loyalty is strong
The way he's hitting on her tonight
She won't have to wait that long
See such soul and beauty
In Punch And Judy

"Relentless"

"Relentless"


The ending of the day
brings the calm that you've been waiting for
You can't wait to close your eyes,
fall into the black and disappear.

Me I've always found it hard
switching off my head
and tuning out the noise.

If there's a better way
I'm all ears tell me now
If I could turn back the days and the years
I'd do it now (that's my vow).

Relentless time (got to find a way to face it)
Relentless time.

Days whether good or bad
chase the months away
Peeling off the calendar
And us, all that we can do is
dig down into the night best we can.

I saw my love today
she's looking old but so am I
I wonder if she could say how long it's been
since that smile (quite a while).

The king sat upon his throne waved his hand at the sea
Time made a fool of him and everything he tried to be (same with me).

"Rok It To The Moon"

"Rok It To The Moon"


I'm looking forward to the year of '88
We'll be eating each other I fear before that date
No more heroes, no more T-bone steaks
There won't be bread and the king will have no cake

I want to rock it to the moon
I want to rock it to the moon
I want to rock it to the moon
I want to rock it to the moon

I'm gonna watch it all though my binoculars
Pressurized compartments with six inch glass
A telescopic sight to watch the cast
You'll all be famous acting out your parts

I want to rock it to the moon
I want to rock it to the moon
I want to rock it to the moon
I want to rock it to the moon

I'll see you up there if you get the inclination
You might find that it cures your aggravations
Play creator face new situations
Watch the human create new frustrations

I want to rock it to the moon
I want to rock it to the moon
I want to rock it to the moon
I want to rock it to the moon.

"Sanfte Kuss"

"Sanfte Kuss"


Eine Umarmung
Eine Blick In Deine
Augen Und Ein
Sanfte Kuss

J'te tiens dans mes bras
On verra ce que ca donnera
Et puis par petit pas
Tu me baisera
J'te tiens dans mes bras
On verra ce que ca donnera
Et puis par petit pas
Tu me baisera

Just a little closer
I gaze into you
Eyes and then
A gentle kiss

I hold you in my arms
And then we'll see what happens
And little by little
I Will fuck you

"Savage Breast"

"Savage Breast"


The world it gets the final love on us
All of our dreams and all our hopes enough
We need the music to soothe the savage breast
You look inside a thousand lives or two
You know the meaning when she smiles at you
She plays the music to soothe the savage breast
Music to soothe the savage breast

There's more than one emotional affects
They keep the wheels emotion out in place
They play the music to soothe the savage breast
Music to soothe the savage breast

Music to soothe the savage
And when our land was ravaged
Then you can get to here

Music to soothe the savage breast
Music to soothe the savage breast
Music to soothe the savage breast
Music to soothe the savage breast
Music to soothe the savage breast

We need the music to soothe the savage breast
We need the music to soothe the savage breast
We need the music to soothe the savage breast.

"School Mam"

"School Mam"


A fine day for the classroom and the pupils are here

Timmy's got a headache but the others don't care
Sarah's got to stay behind and help with the drill
Teacher's got his eye on her moves in for the kill
Nobody can see or hear the things that they do

All the books are closed there must be something they do

Only teacher knows about the subjects they span span

Education's secondary - being a school mam
Oooey... teacher's doing fine as far as I can see

Being a school mam
Long holidays in the summer
Being a school mam
Free milk in your coffee breaks
Being a school mam
Government paid monthly salary cheques
Being a school mam

Noise is heard the principal investigates
She turns on all the cameras and it's too late
Catches both their pants down in a passion warm
Hasn't seen it happen since the day she was born
Reaches down for glasses that just can't be found

By the time she finds them - why they're down on the ground

Tossing and a'turning they've got feverish hands

Life can be so fluid when you're being a school mam

Oooey... teacher's doing fine as far as I can see

Being a school mam
Controlling promiscuity after hours
Being a school mam
Giving out detentions by the dozen
Being a school mam
Give her fifty lines (of speed)
Being a school mam

Sucking on her fingernails can't believe what she's seen
She seems so engrossed at what appears on the screen
Locks her door with trembling hands
Her heart's beating fast she pretends she's down there
On the floor in the class
Gives herself to teacher although he doesn't know
Works herself into a frenzied state and it shows
Sarah's almost at the top but try as she can
She can't reach her helter skelter down with the school mam
Just watch her go and help her try if you can
Use your twentieth century imagination if you've got any
Oooey... now she's at the top and teacher sets her free

Being a school mam
Disgusting behaviour
Being a school mam
All over the parquet flooring
Being a school mam
Let the flood gates open wide
Being a school mam

Now the principal collapses dead on the floor with
Contentment on her wrinkled old face ever more
She went out the very best way that an old woman can
She was where the action was down there with the school mam
Oooey... teacher never will discover who could see

Being a school mam
One and one make two if you are very lucky
Being a school mam
Two twos make four if I remember correctly
Being a school mam
Four fours make sixteen and sixteen's over age
Sixteen and sixteen make thirty-two, that's approaching middle age
Thirty-two and thirty-two make sixty-four, that's OAP land
Sixty-four and sixty-four make one-hundred-and-twenty-eight
One-hundred-and-twenty-eight divided by three
Let me pause for reflection for a second
But teacher
Three does not go into one-hundred-and-twentyeight exactly;
but it goes forty-two and a bit;
43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 49. 1, 49.2, 49.3, 49.4, 49.5, 49.6, 49.7,
49.8, 49.9 [X9]

"Second Coming"

"Second Coming"


Somewhere in Africa, somewhere in Rome
People are sleeping awake in their homes
Waiting for shepherds to attempt to their sheep
Their disappointments they're piled in a corner

A second co - ming will come in
A second co - ming will come in
A second co - ming will come in
A second co - ming will come in
(It will come in)

Turn on the sets and then wait for the show
Will he have blond hair and what will he know
Will he tell jokes or will he make us cry
If we write to him will he send back a reply

A second co - ming will come in
A second co - ming will come in
A second co - ming will come in
A second co - ming will come in
(It will come in)

Like everybody I wait for the day
Like everybody I'll send him away
He may be ugly and have problem hair
Even speak funny and make all the people stare

A second co - ming will come in
A second co - ming will come in
A second co - ming will come in
A second co - ming will come in

Second coming (It will come in)
Second coming (It will come in)
Second coming (It will come in)
Second coming (It will come in)
Second coming (It will come in)
Second coming (It will come in)
Second coming (It will come in)
Second coming
Second coming
Second coming
Second coming
Second coming (It It It will come in)
Second coming (It It It will come in)
Second coming (It It It will come in)
Second coming (It It It will come in)
Second coming (It It It will come in)
