"Boom Boom"

"Boom Boom"


I’ve seen them come and I’ve seen them go
The string of life plays out that way
There have been times when I’ve let you know
I’m not attracted to you today
No way, uh uh, boom boom
Theres a joke in there somewhere that’s meant for you

Troubled thoughts race around my mind
Some of the blackest you can find
And like the days that go before
We’re not connected anymore
For sure, no not now, boom boom
And you dirty little secret is all yours… to play
I won't give you away
It’s all yours to play, I won't give you away

Boom boom, boom boom

We’ll surely turn a corner soon
And move the grey to black and white
Just like the phases of the moon
Just like the rain will catch the light
You’re not mine, boom boom
'Cos you can’t reject the things they take away today
The things they take away
You can’t reject the things
The things they take away, boom boom

Boom boom, boom boom....

"Brainbox"

"Brainbox"


I want to know the secret
Of life and the universe
So I asked of Caesar's daughter
But she didn't say a word

Now the word was there beforehand
Before all the evil speak
It's both what you say and how you say
And sometimes it sounds so cheap

But I don't care what you say
It's in the brainbox
It's in your brainbox
It's in your dreadlocks
It's in my red socks

I asked the Delphic Virgins
What's in the stars today
And I grabbed a slightly lapsed one
And took her home to play

Now that was no solution
To my enquiring mind
Her thighs had not the answer
I was trying to find

[Repeat chorus]

He seemed like an old timer
With the knowing hands of a god
He found water in my desert
Without the aid of a rod

[Repeat chorus]

It's in the brainbox
It's in the full stop
It's in the dreadlocks
It's in the dead, dead, dead fox

It in the brainbox
Brainbox
Brainbox
Brainbox

I want to love you like your dad
And be your superman
I'll show you things you've never had
And hold your little hand

Bring On The Nubiles

I've got to lick your little puss
And nail you to the floor

And when the fever reaches you
I'm high beneath my zip

I go crazy for ya
Crazy For Ya
Crazy For Ya
Crazy For Ya

"Burning Up Time"

"Burning Up Time"


The Brighton train it goes real soon
My Brighton Belle is in her room
It's burning up time
Burning up time

I wanna burn up while I'm having good times
Don't wanna burn up with other people's bad times
Like a meteor
Like to meet yer

The weekend's here the Finchley Boys
Are gonna make a lot of noise
It's burning up time

You either love or you despise
There's just no time for compromise
The days have gotta move real fast
We know that nothing's gonna last

"Choosey Susie"

"Choosey Susie"


Come on little baby let me take you out of your mind
Little choosey Susie, there's no reason to fall behind
You and me, we're gonna be free
We're gonna make love until we're weak
Yeah, believe you me, choosey Susie

There's an awful lot of stars but there are more that we don't see
Little choosey Susie help me find eternity
You and me, we're gonna be free
We're gonna make love until you bleed
Yeah, take it from me Hugh...

You go away when the night is young
If only you could stay then we could have some fun
Stay out all night long

Come on little baby let me take you out of your mind
Little choosey Susie, there's no reason to fall behind
You and me, we're gonna be free
We're gonna make love until we're weak
Yeah, believe you me, choosey Susie
You better believe me now or forever hold your peace
After this there's no turning back
Do you remember what happened to Lot's wife?
You do?

"Coup De Grace"

"Coup De Grace"


Hey babe take a chance on me
I'll be your man tonight
Just tell me when you've had enough
Then I'll apply the coup de grace
If I were to live forever
I'd hope you'd apply the coup de grace

Hey babe take a chance with me
I'll take you down the river tonight
A full moon with a big wolf too
The end won't be a pretty sight

And then we seeking something
We need the coup de grace

O lord I'm on my knees, save our holes
Or it's the coup de grace, save our holes

Hey babe I'm a bum tonight
I need somewhere to sleep
I'll love you now and I'll love you then
But in the morning you will weep

"Cruel Garden"

"Cruel Garden"


Better get out of the woods today
Plenty danger waiting there
Plenty hungry madames out today
Eat you up as soon as stare

Cruel garden
Cruel garden
Birds of prey are on the wing
Cruel garden
Cruel garden
Hope I can survive the spring

If you're walking in the woods tonight
Watch out for a madames eyes
One jumped up and grabbed me what a fright
Said that I was just her size

Cruel garden
Cruel garden
Birds of prey are on the wing
Cruel garden
Cruel garden
Hope I can survive the spring

Oh oh oh oh oh gotta get home in the light
Oh oh oh oh oh shouldn't be down here at night

Cruel garden
Cruel garden
Birds of prey are on the wing
Cruel garden
Cruel garden
Hope I can survive the spring

Oh oh oh oh oh gotta get home in the light
Oh oh oh oh oh shouldn't be down here at night

"Curfew"

"Curfew"


The enemy has cut down all the power
London south of The Thames s invaded
Westminster is raised down to the ground
The Government Has Fled
The Government Has Fled
The Government Has Fled for Scotland today

It Becomes Black And White
Is It True What They Say?
They Turn The Day Into Night
Black And White Becomes

The Government has fled into thin air
What's Left Of Our Troops Has Joined The Scots
To Form In defense across the North
Stay In Your Homes
Stay In Your Homes
Be Off The Streets By Nightfall

It Becomes Black And White
Is It True What They Say?
They Turn The Day Into Night
Black And White Becomes

Germany Failed To Protect All Borders
Had Grown Soft With The American Dream
The Men From The Steppes Delivered Their Vacuum
A New Kind Of freedom
Freedom's A Chain
Maybe I'll Find Love When There's Nothing To Do

It Becomes Black And White
Is It True What They Say?
They Turn The Day Into Night
Black And White Becomes

"Daddy's Riding The Range"

"Daddy's Riding The Range"


Oh my child
Walk in your prairie dreams
Shining dawn
Whispers of worlds you'll see
Now it's dusk
Darkness has killed the fire
I must ride
She calls me into my night
And you're leaving me cold as ice [times 2]

Daddy's riding the range
In the toy cowboy suit
That his mother bought for him
Leaving, he won't stop loving you
Now that he's riding
The trail of the lone star

When you cry
I'll send the sun down to you
When you're lost
I'll spin the world round for you

"Dagenham Dave"

"Dagenham Dave"


Dave was from out of town
Manchester's likely too
Had read De Sade to Marx
More read than me and you
Scaffolding pays good bread
It pays for drugs and kicks
Dave only had one love
Had no real need for chicks
Dave was so far ahead
But now he's dead

I'm not going to cry
I bet he hit that water high

I guess he lost control
And welcomed in the night
It was too much for him
What were his thoughts that night?
The River Thames is cold
It keeps on flowing on
But it left Dave alone
It just kept flowing on

There's city sickness here
But now he's dead

Late night a street in the west of the city
There was a place there where he lost himself
Strange feelings did he feel there
Strange people did he meet there
Angry sounds did he hear there
Like the howling of bulls
