Women in Uniform Beehive hairdo, 45 on the hip Patrolwoman Saunders, don't you give her no whip Took me to the station for a breathtest then back to the bedroom for some house-arrest CHORUS: Women in uniform, sometimes they look so cold Women in uniform, but, Oh! They feel so warm Coming back to London on a 747 Stewardess made me feel like I'm in heaven Looking up the aisle to see what I could see She leaned over said; Give it to me White apron, brown leather shoes The nurse at the clinic left my heart all bruised Gave me a massage, sprained my right Now she takes my temperature every night CHORUS Women in uniform, Women in uniform Women in uniform, Women in uniform Commando raid on the Lebanese border Sergeant Anita, she gives the order Khaki jacket and a love gun Baby, I surrender, let's have some fun CHORUS SOLO CHORUS Women in uniform, Women in uniform Women in uniform, Women in uniform Women in uniform, Khaki, white and blue Women in uniform, coming after you Women, women, Women in uniform Women, women, Women in uniform CHORUS
Virus There's an evil virus that's threatening mankind Not state of the art, a serious state of the mind The muggers, the backstabbers, the two faced elite A menace to society, a social disease Rape of the mind is a social disorder The cynics, the apathy one-upmanship order Watching beginnings of social decay Gloating or sneering at life's disarray Eating away at your own self esteem Pouncing on every word that you might be saying Rape of the mind is a social disorder The cynics, the apathy one-upmanship order Superficially smiling a shake of the hand As soon as the back is turned treachery is planned Rape of the mind is a social disorder The cynics, the apathy one-upmanship order Watching beginnings of social decay Gloating or sneering... at life's disarray When every good thing's laid to waste By all the jealousy and hate By all the acid wit and rapier lies And every time you think you're safe And when you go to turn away You know they're sharpening all their paper knives All in your mind All in your head Try to relate it All in your mind All in your head Try to escape it Without a conscience they destroy And that's a thing that they enjoy They're a sickness that's in all our minds They want to sink the ship and leave The way they laugh at you and me You know it happens all the time All in your mind All in your head Try to relate it All in your mind All in your head Try to escape it The rats in the cellar you know who you are.... Or do you? Watching beginnings of social decay.... Total Eclipse Cold as steel the darkness waits, it's hour will come A cry of fear for the chosen worshipping the sun Mother natures black revenge on those who waste her life War babies in the garden of Eden shall turn our ashes to ice CHORUS: Sunrise is gone, freezing up the fires Sunrise is gone, numbing all desires Sunrise is gone, Sunrise is gone Around the world the people stop with terror-stricken eyes A shadow cast upon them all to crush them like a fly In the icy rain and whiplashed seas there's nowhere left to run The hammer blows of winter fall like a hurricane CHORUS Around the world the nations wait for some wise words from their leading light You know it's not only madmen who listen to fools "Is this the end" the millions cried clutching their riches as they died Those who survive must weather the storm SOLO Gone are the days when man looked down They've taken away his sacred crown To be so free, it took so long It's not the journeys end, it's just begun
That Girl The words she said turned out why desperation fills her eyes Hold her in your arms don't let go When you taste defeat, when you loose again Fight and win, never give in Hold her in your arms don't let go BRIDGE: That girl you need Gonna knock you off your feet That girl, you know She'll never let you go CHORUS: That girl, That girl, That girl you need That girl, That girl, That girl, That girl Can you hear her call, call out your name Think about you, cry without you Hold her in your arm Don't let go Can you taste defeat, when you loose again Fight and win, never give in Hold her in your arms don't let go BRIDGE CHORUS SOLO CHORUS (x2)
Space Station #5 Start, with the sun And move on out The future's in the skies above The heavens unfold And a new star is born Space and time makin' love Chorus: Oh what a time we had Living on the ground I've moved to station #5 See you next time around, Next time around As far you want, as close as you need It's all in the mind, you know This old world hasn't really seen it's day It's here, time to go Chorus Remember when it was so clear We were young, but the memory still remains To pick fruit from a tree Fish from the seas Now nothing's left here, but the stains Well I can't cry no more Can only be glad There's other places we can be If the time suits you right I'm leaving tonight Come fly away With me! Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah Oh, yeah Start, with the sun And move on out The future's in the skies above The heavens unfold A new star is born Space and time makin' love Chorus
Sheriff Of Huddersfield Life in a city living in L.A. Is a long way from Huddersfield town The back of the Rainbow's a long way from heaven But that's where he get's his pork pie Limos and ladies they're driving him queasy Rugby and cricket's unknown Baseball and football they're making him lazy Your fan club says "Rodney come home" (chorus) The Sheriff of Huddersfield locked in his castle Look down on Hollywood Hills The Sheriff of Huddersfield locked in his castle You're our own Hot Rod on wheels A good game of arrows a few dozen barrels The Nautilus rusts in the yard But for Yorkshire he's yearning but because he's earning He'll always live in L.A. A custom made wallet that stays in his pocket And never comes out to pay bills He's winning at poker and playing the Joker And he always cheats when he deals (repite chorus) (Rodney's rap) Hello, let me introduce meself! My name is Rodney. I'm immensely strong. When I were a lad, I could lift up five navies on an end of a shovel. The reason I never took martial arts because I was immensely fearsome and I'd probably kill everybody I came into contact with it. I was phenomenally strong. Pride and ego, my lads, pride and ego, is what makes the world rotate. And everybody knows the centre of the universe is Huddersfield but I don't live there anymore. I live in Los Angeles. It's great!... I think Rufus the red has a crane by his bed To wrench himself up in the morn' But if you dare to tread at the foot of his bed You'll wish you'd never been born. A bear with a sore head we mean your forehead He slumbers for most of the day Wide eyed and legless baked beans for breakfast Your problem Rodney L.A. (repite chorus)
Rainbow's Gold In the heat of the morning when your day is still dawning And your bird, she's singing Catch your soul, he's willing to fly away Packed your bags in a hurry Because your mind's in a worry Mark my words, you're gonna be sorry if you ever fly away Sweet little girl with the Saint Da Vinci-smile Stares at me with sadness in her eyes I'm not sure if she's really real or make-believe Maybe she's a vision that comes to only me Cause I'm so tired Yes I'm so tired So tired Yes I'm so tired SOLO Repite primer verso
Massacre At a point below zero There's no place left to go Six hundred unknown heroes Were killed like sleeping buffalo Through the devil's canyon Across the battlefield Death has no companion The spirit is forced to yield There goes the bandolero Through the hole in the wall He's a coward but doesn't care though In fact, he doesn't care at all The general that's commanding He's defending what he fears While the troops they are depending On reinforcements from the rear If God is in the heavens How can this happen here? In His name, they used the weapons For the massacre There is a point below zero Where the sun can see the land Six hundred unknown heroes Lay dead in the sand

Cross-Eyed Mary Who would be a poor man a beggerman, a thief if he had a rich man in his hand Who would steal the candy from a laughing baby's mouth if he could take it from the money man Cross-eyed Mary goes jumping in again She signs no contract but she always plays the game She dines in Hampstead village on expense accounted gruel and the jack knife barber drops her off at school Laughing in the playground gets no kicks from little boys would rather make it with a letching gray Or maybe her attention is drawn by Aqualung who watches through the railings as they play Cross-eyed Mary finds it hard to get along. She's a poor man's rich girl and she'll do it for a song She's a rich man's stealer but her favour's good and strong She's the Robin Hood of Highgate helps the poor man get along
