Don't like the look of this old town What goes up must come down Character is lost and found On unfamiliar playing ground Get out of my world - what in the world Shoe boxed around the rifle range Have all your functions rearranged Your mind and body gagged and bound On a new familiar playing ground The ordinary will ignore Whatever they cannot explain As if nothing ever happened And everything remained the same again What in the world - what in the world What in the world Get, get out of my world - what in the world Get out of my world - what in the world Get up, get up, get out, get out, get out of my world Get up, get up, get out, get out, get out of my world Get up, get up, get out, get out, get out of my world Get up, get up, get out, get out, get out of my world Get up, get up, get out, get out, get out of my world Get up, get up, get out, get out, get out of my world Get up, get up, get out, get out, get out of my world Get up, get up, get out, get out, get out of my world Open your mouth now Secret sirens, knowing looks These sunny days will cook the books Happy to take the misery This mortal life can bring to me Don't like the look of this town What goes up must come down Character is lost and found On unfamiliar playing ground What in the world - what in the world What in the world, what in the world What in, get out, get out, get out of my world - what in the world Palaces, palaces, barricades, barricades Threats, threats meet promises, meet promises Palaces, palaces, barricades, barricades Threats, threats meet promises, meet promises Palaces, palaces, barricades, barricades Threats, threats meet promises, meet promises Palaces, palaces, barricades, barricades Threats, threats meet promises, meet promises Palaces, palaces, barricades, barricades Threats, threats meet promises, meet promises Palaces, palaces, barricades, barricades Threats, threats meet promises, meet promises Palaces, palaces, barricades, barricades Threats, threats meet promises, meet promises Palaces, palaces, barricades, barricades Threats, threats meet promises, meet promisesBack to Song List
You'll wonder should you risk it A pocket full of mischief An idiotic rain dance Relying on a romance Another frame beginning Now's the time for singing, a-ha Prayer has conceded Successfully succeeded Rules and regulations Rules and regulations Howling at the moonshine Barking up the wrong tree A sacrificial slaughter Took you from the altar Rules and regulations Rules and regulations Have no fear of laughter Wait for what comes after Excusing no excuses The hangman and his nooses Busy executing The bloody and blaspheming Rules and regulations Rules and regulations The Spanish Inquisition No one above suspicion Crying out for reason Might as well be treason Rules and regulations Rules and regulations Have no fear of laughter Wait for what comes after It's you they're looking out for It's you they're coming after Innocent, not guilty Not to this committeeBack to Song List
When you run about without precautions You'll get diseased and need abortions Up till now no vaccination Can give you back your reputation We want, we want your body We want your body, we want your body, we want your body We want, we want your body We want your body, we want your body Cathy go home without your daughter In a welfare state she'll be well looked after It's easy now, this other person Is off your back, not a burden We want, we want your body We want your body, we want your body, we want your body We want, we want your body We want your body, we want your body Your body When you run about without precautions You'll get diseased and need abortions Up till now no vaccination Can give you back your reputation We want, we want your body We want your body, we want your body, we want your body We want, we want your body We want your body, we want your body We want, we want your body We want your body, we want your body, we want your body We want, we want your body We want your body, we want your body Your bodyBack to Song List
Where it all began Born on desert sands Desperate citizens Led by scorpions Now the condition Religious discipline Foraging fanaticism Heaven, this mouth of soap God, his private joke So save me This camel in the needles eye Will laugh and let you die Tear from limb to limb Take your pound of flesh Searing choking dust Madness full of lust Tear from limb to limb Take your pound of flesh Save me Save me Faith in foolish words Cows now join the heard A mass as mindless ants Dead as decadence Grind this golden crock And bleat among the flock Save me Back, back to the country Back to mother earth Out near sellafield, my nuclear birth And save me Save me, save me, save me Save me Save me, save me, save me Save meBack to Song List
Dead dreams, dead dreams flying flags Flapping in the breeze Wave your colored rag Hard time Were they ever any better Maybe never ever The slogan will take you Like lemmings to the cliff You'll feel better than ever And into the abyss - ha, ha, ha, ha Hard time Were they ever any better Lately every crack, every crevice will be sanitized There'll be no more war There'll be no more choice And those not behind you Should go live elsewhere Spies everywhere You put the poison in the air Hard time Were they ever any better Maybe never ever The words cry for help But the music says no Every sentence a siege of national pride Hard times Were they ever any better - maybe And I, I won't answer the call I don't like khaki I won't wear your uniform There'll be no more war There'll be no more choice There'll be no more war There'll be no more choice Hard time Were they ever any better Maybe never ever There'll be no more war There'll be no more choice There'll be no more war There'll be no more choice Hard timeBack to Song List
And now Now this age of learning Vocal vocabulary But it still comes out sounding Like some silly soliloquy This attitude of learning All the books you read Pretty parrot fashion There's nothing in your head You're winning Better off removing this educated stance The brilliant observing, you're young and got the chance You're winning There are no easy answers to elongated questions Try and keep an eye out, be open to suggestions Be winning Now, now, now, now, now, now And now you're understanding Don't be vegetating All the doors are open Open and revolving All the doors are open Open and revolving You're winning Heartaches and the headaches Open and revolving Open and revolving Open and revolving - open and revolving Open and revolving - open and revolving Open and revolving - open and revolving Open and revolvingBack to Song List
Your savage mind Has made you deaf, dumb, blind Your savage heart Is tearing you apart You, you make me angry You, you make me angry You - lost, hiding in the crowd Wearing numbers like a shroud You, you are a coward We watch you conform And what you're wearing Is just another like any other uniform You, you make me angry You, you make me angry You, you are fashionable Like any other trend You follow on Pose, pretend Why, why not try and be yourself You, you are not your own person You, took a tactical diversion No individual, self made perfect creation You, you make me angry You, you make me angry And all of the clones that have impressed you Have turned you up and out and into a court jester No excuse, you are no use You built your life, you built your life on somebody elseBack to Song List
With the fly in my eye It didn't take long to realise The desert sun Might be good for some Oh no, not for I Fat Chance Hotel Fat Chance Hotel I get bored in the brain Out here doing nothing at all Some useless holiday this turned out to be The dinner gave me the splattery botty Fat Chance Hotel Fat Chance Hotel Burning all day long I, I don't belong Itching in frustration This is not my ideal vacation Fat Chance Hotel Fat Chance Hotel Fat Chance Hotel Fat Chance Hotel Fat Chance Hotel Fat Chance Hotel Fat Chance Hotel Fat Chance HotelBack to Song List
