Chelsea Girl

Down there nearly every Saturday
They've got their money to spend
Flicking through the racks of pastel coloured clothing
Keeping up with the latest trend
She's fallen in love with something she can't afford
It looks like the case of the lend
I bet the first time she wears it it will fall to pieces
But it's nothing that her mummy can't mend

Chelsea Girl

All the boyfriends are being dragged
Round the jewellers and Chelsea Girl
He knows it's gonna cost him 'cos she's talking so fast
She's got his head spinning in a whirl
Can I have this? How much is it? Christ Almighty
You must think it grows on trees
You would if you loved me go on can I have it
Can I have it oh go on please

But she's so worried in case she runs out of money
To spend to keep up with all the latest trends

Rich And Hated

Have you ever thought does a person stay the same
With all he had beforeHave you ever thought would it all change
If he got a whole lot more

Rich & hated - I don't wanna be

Dominance dominance and submission
Money is the tool
I'm very sorry but there's no free admission
Rules are rules are rules are rules

And don't you think you know it all
That you know what it's all about
That we really care for you
Because it's our ambition to sell out - yeah!

Rich & hated - I'd give it a go
Rich & hated - I'd like to know
Rich & hated - give me the dice
Rich & hated - give me a throw

Nuclear Attack

I don't wanna die
I don't wanna meet my maker
Someone's gonna push the button
But don't ring the undertaker
It's a one way trip and everyone's invited
It's gonna be too late, once the fuse has been ignited

Nuclear attack - plot it on your map
Nuclear attack - mark it on your map
It's a nuclear attack and it's blown us off the map

Send us a bomb and then what will you do?
With a heap of rubble and a human stew
Put out the white flag, there's nothing left of us
Let's all make friends and wonder at the fuss

The Jokes On Me

Remember those days when you were at school
Long summer days nights by the pool, yeah
Doing things you'd never dare
Didn't seem to matter didn't even care

And you knew that no one could fool ya
It didn't mean nothing to ya
Remember those days of long ago
You'd go out to all night show

Wo oh - how come everybody sees it but me
Wo oh - how come that the jokes on me

Remember those days we all grew up now
Things never seemed the way they used
When you're a boy of 9 or 10
Things just seemed so different then
Well everyone changes throughout their lives
Work in an office or be a wife
So wealthy men in satin shoes
Take your chances it's win or lose

Goin' Home

Never realised what it meant to be
Living far away from your family
Now you've thought again your going' home
All you ever wanted was your privacy
Didn't think it meant only misery

Now you've had enough you're goin' home
Now you've had enough you're goin' home
You're goin' home

Living in the city thought you'd make new friends
Being in a crowd and the latest trends
It's just a shatter dream you're goin' home
Back to your friends it's not that long
Cos you know it's where you belong
Get on that train you're goin' home
Get on that train you're goin' home

Now you know what it means to be 
Back with your friends and your family
It's happiness not loneliness at home
When you go away the air ain't cleaner
And the other man's grass ain't always greener
You'll never leave again now you're back home
You'll never leave again now you're back home

Against All Odds

Situation is out of control
The time bomb is set and it's gonna explode
Nothing we can say can change a thing
Just wait and see what the warheads bring
Thinking every day might be our last
But every new day is tomorrow's past

Against all odds we'll come through
Against all odds nothing we can do
Against all odds we'll come through
Against all odds nothing left to do for me or you

Panic in the streets almost every day
another invasion war is on it's way
Nothing we can say can change a thing
Just wait and see what the warheads bring

Pass Me The Bottle

Pass me the bottle for one last drink
Cos the whole human race is teetering on the brink
We're gonna do it if it takes a million years
One last drink let's drown our fears

They just thought of a bomb that only kills
People on the dole without the fancy thrills
It's no good hiding in a fancy shelter
Cos they're all fitted with a dole card detector

And it's ohh ohh ohh ohh
They mean us this time, we've got nowhere to go
It's ohh ohh ohh ohh
So this is what they mean by dead end dole

What can we do?
Protest and survive, I don't think they're listening
I don't think they'll even try

Rock Town

See them all on Friday night
Acting drunk and picking fights
Forever pushing people around
When you're in a gang you know you're on safe ground

Where's he from? Not round 'ere
What's he doing? Drinking our beer
When he goes out we'll kick him down
Don't you dare go to Rock Town

Tables fly and glasses go
Chairs are used and knifes are too
Rock town boot boys kick to kill
And you know he always will - we will

Twelve of them and two of you
They're the odds they like to use
Beat you up and chase you out
Jump on the first bus out of Rock Town

Rock Rock Rock Rock Town

Love Song

Pretty pictures in my mind
Of how it used to be
Just two of us lost in love
Oh what a joy to see

But then you had to spoil it
Ruin our blissful life
You say you didn't love me
So I had to use my knife

Gonna cut ya, gonna kill ya
You'll never love again

Now you're dead I'm all alone
With the painful memory
Why did you hold back your love
It was such a blow to me

But now you're gonna love no more
I'll share you with no one
I've had my happy times with you
Though now you're dead and gone

Brains Of The Nation

Maggies in, Labour's out but I don't give a fuck
They're all a bunch of hypocrites if you take a closer look
We'll keep down inflation
We'll create more jobs
We'll look after pensioners
We'll sort out the yobs

If you're our friends we don't need enemies

Sitting on your brains talking out your arse
Another resolution another fucking farce
Spoil the workers fun to give another kid a gun

Maggie lies, Labour tries to make her look a twat
Pass an act but it's a fact they don't know what they're on about

Thoroughbred Men

They do the things you shouldn't do
Thoroughbred men honest and true
Don't cheat at the game or they'll get you
These thoroughbred men are painted blue

Join the club and fight the political
Turn the tables and be hypocritical
Just a bit of slyness and stealth
You can have a free car free house and wealth

A second skin is painted blue
But underneath that it's still blue
Now and again when the time is right
Changed that number into a stripe

Another stripe increases by one
Do more things that shouldn't be done
These men don't know what trust is
Protecting the unjust with their justice

Bored Forever

Got no money to spend on you
Don't wanna end up in no zoo
Nothing ever happens in our lives
Couldn't be bothered to even try

It's so boring being bored
It's so boring being bored
Sit all day nothing to do
Couldn't give a toss for any of you

Sit all day watching the news
Tell us jokes we're not amused
You people try to find us jobs
We don't want work we're idle slobs

Scrounging on the dole there's no tax
Plenty of time to relax
People try to ruin our day
By arranging interviews far away

Don't want work we can't afford
Sooner go on just being bored
Hope this doesn't go on too long
As it's just a boring song

Steal Your Thunder

Gonna have a better day
Than I did yesterday
I can tell you now nothing else
Is gonna get in my way

I've gotta live for today
Cos I was bored by yesterday

I don't wanna spend the rest of my life
On a production line
Cause I've never seen a bigger waste
Of anybody's time

Give me playing in a band
And put a beer into my hand

And we will steal your thunder
Yes we will steal your thunder
Yes we will steal your thunder, tonight

When you get bored of all those records
That sit on your shelf
Take a walk down to your music shop
And spread some of your wealth

Because music is the key
To keeping yourself happy

When it all goes exactly wrong
And everybody hates you
Don't give up your gun
As if there's nothing else you can do

You gotta live for today
Cause you were bored by yesterday

And we will steal your thunder
Yes we will steal your thunder
Yes we will steal your thunder, tonight

No Place To Run

A small time crook who likes the buzz
You just can't get enough
Doesn't know what else to do
Nicking cars, robbery, always acting tough

As you get older you cannot change
You can't escape the strife
An image to live up to
Then murder with a knife

No place to run, no place to hide
For all the wrongs that you've done
And all the times you lied

No place to hide, no place to run
They'll always get you in the end
So just  give up that gun

You thought that you were so smart
Evading justice on the run
A yacht, a villa but all in Spain
Is it really fun?
It's just a gangsters lonely cell
But now it's all gone wrong
You're banged up now until you die
And its just where you belong

Please some people

Well you can please some people some of the time
But not all people all of the time
You get abuse from your neighbourhood
Even when you think that you've done good

When you try to do things right
You're just told "get outta sight"
Things you do are never good enough

You give respect but never get it back
All you want is just to have a laugh
Fuck 'em all just live your life your way

Margaritaville

Nibblin' on sponge cake, watchin' the sun bake
All of those tourists covered in oil
Strummin' my six string, on my front porch swing
Smell those shrimps they're beginning to boil

Wasted away again in Margaritaville
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know, it's nobody's fault

I don't know the reason I stayed here all season
Nothing to show but this brand new tattoo
But it's a real beauty, a Mexican cutie
How it got here I haven't a clue

I blew out my flip flop stepped on a pop top
Cut my hell had to cruise on back home
But there's booze in the blender and soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on

Wasted away again in Margaritaville
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
And I know, it's my own damned fault

Where Are They Now

Reject the system that gives you no name
Just work in a factory to give others fame
I reject the system that takes the young
I reject the system that gives me a gun

I don't wanna see death on the 9 o'clock news
Cause some disagree with their political views
I'm just here to be given a gun
When the day of reckoning comes

All the leaders are underground
Where are they now when they need to be found
All the leaders are underground
Where are they now when they need to be found
Need to be found

Cos the system says fight for your country
The system say you gotta kill for them
But where are they now that did all the talking
I can't see the men that started it all

Religion

You're telling me to be a catholic
But don't you think that's too drastic
Religion, religion
Yours is wrong, ours is right
You're the black and I'm the white
Religion, religion

You're devoted to Christianity
But it's just insanity
Religion, religion
No she can't be your bride
Coz she comes from the other side
Religion, religion

If every religion is right
How can one be wrong
If they continue to fight
They'll end this world before too long

Invest in being a Protestant
But is that money well spent
Religion, religion
Go and pray to your god
Then go out and kill some poor sod
Religion, religion

Oh woe, religion, religion

Kezze in De Kastelein

The first time we played abroad we played in Bruges
Didn't know what to expect or what to do
But the people that we met they were the best
And the time that we had we won't forget

De Kastelein pub is the place we went
To meet the live and loud boys and the rest
With Bieze at the wheel we soon got there
Travelling 500 kilometres an hour

Have another drink, have another beer
A mazout for you, mazout for me
After 20 beers we're feeling fine
Let's get kezze and have a good time

Get kezze, get kezze, get kezze in De Kastelein
Get kezze, get kezze, get kezze in De Kastelein

We're back in Bieze's taxi to the town
Through the cobbled streets and all around
At 3am we've really had enough
Pissed and knackered feeling really rough

Now the gig is done it's time to go
Back to the pub to say our cheerios (bye bye)
Thanks to the live and loud crew one and all
So goodbye De Kastelein till the next time

Street Credibility

We don't need an image to try and impress
We're not bothered about the way we dress
We don't need opinions of our ability
We're not bothered about our credibility

Street, street, street credibility
Wouldn't you like more than zero
Street, street, street credibility
Wouldn't you like to be a hero

You  don't have to note every word I say
Because they're all different everyday
Don't parade to us to boost your vanity
Just listen to us and lose your sanity

Don't look to us for any solutions
We'll only fill your mind with pollution

Retaliate First

Every time I hear about the things you say
It makes me really with that you would
Go away

I'd like to see what you see when you look at me
Retaliate first and make it
Go away, go away, go away

Take a look around and change your mind
All you wanna be is the other kind

Never seen such losers in all my life
I'll retaliate first and make them
Go away, go away, go away

This time they're coming round for you
And now there's nothing you can do
Just keep your pistols by your side
Cause you're on your own

Faraway

Oh the good times, where did they go
Of the future well I don't wanna know
And the reasons to the way I feel
Are dying from my expectant fear

But the good times were so long ago
Then the fun ran out, where I don't know
All the answers are hidden by the truth
And reality of the times we once knew

Oh the good times where did they go
Where did they go

My heart has died it's death a thousand times
And feelings no longer exist in this heart of mine
And my mind died many years ago
Torn and tattered I don't wanna know
I can't understand why you had to go
Why did you go?
