BEETLEBUM (5:05)
Beetlebum
What you done
She's a gun
Now what you've done
Beetlebum
Get nothing done
You beetlebum
Just get numb
Now what you've done
Beetlebum
And when she lets me slip away
She turns me on and all my violence is gone
Nothing is wrong
I just slip away and I am gone
Nothing is wrong
She turns me on
I just slip away and now I am gone
Beetlebum
Because you're young
She's a gun
Now what you've done
Beetlebum
She'll suck your thumb
She'll make you cum'
Coz' she's your gun
Now what you've done
Beetlebum
He's on, he's on, he's on it
SONG 2 (2:01)
I got my head checked
By a jumbo jet
It wasn't easy but nothing is
no
When I feel heavy metal
And I'm pins and I'm needles
Well, I lie and I'm easy
All the time but I am never sure
why I need you
Pleased to meet you
I got my head down
When I was young
It's not my problem
It's not my problem
When I feel heavy metal
And I'm pins and I'm needles
Well, I lie and I'm easy
All the time but I am never sure
why I need you
Pleased to meet you
Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah
Oh Yeah
COUNTRY SAD BALLAD MAN (4:50)
Yeah I found no where
It got to know me
Let me sleep all day
Spent the money
I haven't felt my legs
Since the summer
And I don't call my friends
Forgot their numbers
VIP 223
Have my chances
They have me
Now stay up nights
Watch TV
I'm country sad
I'm a ballad man
I'm on the come back road
Yeah I'm a blizzard
And in my motor home
Sweat on my pillow all night
I'm a ballad man ...
M.O.R. [Middle of the Road] (3:24)
It's automatic
I need to unload
Under the pressure
Gone middle of the road
Fall into fashion
Fall out again
We stick together
Cause it never ends
Here comes a low
I'm a boy and you're a girl
Here comes a high
The only ones in the world
Here comes everything
You and me can work it out
Here it comes
You Me, we'll work it out!
Here comes tomorrow
1 2 3 episodes
[We stick together]
The middle of the road
Cause that's entertainment
It's the sound of the wheel
It rolls on forever
You know how it feels
Here comes a low
I'm a boy and you're a girl
Here comes a high
The only one that's in the world
Here comes everything
We're like monkeys out in space
Here it comes
You Me, we'll work it out!
It's automatic
I need to unload
Under the pressure
Gone middle of the road
Fall into fashion
Fall out again
We stick together
Cause it never ends
Here comes a low
I'm a boy and you're a girl
Here comes a high
The only one that's in the world
Here comes everything
You and me can work it out
Here it comes
You Me, we'll work it out!
ON YOUR OWN (4:26)
Holy man tiptoed his way across the ganges
The sound of magic music in his ears
Videoed by a bus load of tourists
Shiny shell suits on and drinking lemonade
Now I got a funny feeling which I bought mailorder
From a man in a teepee in California
Said he once was that great game show performer
Then he blew all his money away
Blew it all away
So take me home
don't leave me alone
I'm not that good
But I am not that bad
No psycho killer
Hooligan guerrilla
I dream to riot
Oh you should try it
I'll eat parole get gold card soul
My joy of life is on a roll
And we'll all be the same in the end
Then you're on your own (2)
Well we all go happy day glow in the discos
The sound of magic music in our brains
Someone stumbles to the bathroom with the horrors
Says' Lord give me time for I've jumped into space
I'm in outer space
So take me home
don't leave me alone
I'm not that good
But I am not that bad
No psycho killer
Hooligan guerrilla
I dream to riot
Oh you should try it
I'll eat parole get gold card soul
My joy of life is on a roll
And we'll all be the same in the end
Then you're on your own (2)
YOU'RE SO GREAT (3:35)
Sad drunk and poorly
Sleeping really late
Sad drunk and poorly
Not feeling so great
Wondering lost in a town full of frowns
Sad drunk and poorly
Dogs digging up the ground
And I feel the light in the night and in the day
And I feel the light when the sky's just mud and grey
And I feel the light when you tell me it's okay
Coz' you're so great and I love you
Tea, Tea and Coffee
Helps to start the day
Tea, Tea and Coffee
Shaking all the way
Cities alive, a surprise so am I
Tea, Tea and Coffee, get no sleep today
And I feel the light in the night and in the day
And I feel the light when the sky's just mud and grey
And I feel the light when you tell me it's okay
Coz' you're so great and I love you.
DEATH OF A PARTY (4:32)
The death of the party
Came as no surprise
Why did we bother
should have stayed away
Another night
And I thought well well
Go to another party
And hang myself
Gently on the shelf
The death of the teenager
standing on his own
why did he bother
should have slept alone
Another night
And I thought well well
Go to another party
And hang myself
Gently on the shelf
(Repeat)
CHINESE BOMBS (1:22)
He makes an inner arm block
Then kicks from behind
The lights they go off
But he can fight blind
Coz' he got the touch
But he won't live long
Coz' he comes from Hong Kong
~where people are strong~
[where justice is done]
Chinese bombs, millions jump, chairman's junk, USA
Won't Somebody, Won't Somebody
Sink the place
Got a ~cab to go to Soho
The dragon said go
Let everyone know
You got the touch
You come from Hong Kong
[Where justice is done]
where people are strong
and you won't live long
Chinese bombs, millions jump, chairman's junk , USA
Bruce Lee comes to save the day
Bruce Lee comes the Chinese way
I'M JUST A KILLER FOR YOUR LOVE (4:11)
I heard a man who had no lungs
He took me in and made me lunch
He told me how I'd lost a friend
He smiled at me it was the end
I said
I'm just a killer for your love (4)
I cut my hair off in the road
I take my coat off dropped my load
I wipe my hands on the grass
Coz' I know that nothing ever lasts
And I said
I'm just a killer for your love (4)
LOOK INSIDE AMERICA (3:50)
Good morning lethargy
Drink pepsi is good for energy
The bath's on, smoke in the bedroom
Sore throat and on my neck a nasty bruise
Where it came from, well I don't know
We played last night, it was a good show
Got the play out on a second rate chatshow
It's a nationwide deal, so we gotta go
Chuck from the company says it'll be alright
Got an add on K-ROQ and there's an instore tonight
Well I build things up
Then I let them go
Got to get time share on the radio
Look inside America, she's alright, she's alright
Sitting out in the distance but I'm not trying to make up her mind
Looking for America
With its kookie nights and suicide
Where the TV says it's alright
Coz' everybody's hung up on something or other
"Steppin' off in 20" so the driver says
I should sleep tonight but I think I'll watch videos instead
Annie Hall leaves NY in the end
Press rewind Woody gets her back again
And the whole world could have passed thru' me
But I don't know if it means that much to me
And the whole world could have passed thru' me
But I don't know if it means that much to me
STRANGE NEWS FROM ANOTHER STAR (4:02)
All I want to be is washed out by the sea
No death star over me
Won't give me any peace
All I want is light relief
Put the crazies on the street
Give them guns and feed them meat
Now shoot the death star down
Dig a hole and put it down
Thousand miles underground
They say it's no game
there's strange news from another star
I'm lost, I'm lost
there's strange news from another star
Give me all your stuff
until I can't get up
Watch the whole world freeze
Counting tin cans in our sleep
Submarines are diving deep
I don't believe in me
I don't believe in me
All I've ever done is tame
Will you love me all the same
Will you love me, though
always the same
They say it's no game
there's strange news from another star
I'm lost, I'm lost
there's strange news from another star
MOVIN' ON (3:44)
At the music heist
I met the gourmet man
With aluminium lungs
Sucks out all he can
Seek the whole world go flip
In a stunt bug style
He's a parasite
With a cellulite pile
But he can smile
This is the music
And we're movin' on, we're movin' on
We're sticky eyes and sticky bones
you get no time on your own
you get a dose and a ghost
You get it coast to coast
dye your hair black
get satan tattooed on your back
pierce yourself with a coke can
put yourself in fake tan now you're in the band
Coz' this is the music
and we're movin' on, we're movin' on
Hey this is the music
and we're movin' on, we're movin' on
no matter how low, there's always further to go
We're movin' on, we're movin' on
We're movin' on, it won't be long
We're movin' on, it won't be long
ESSEX DOGS (6:16)
I remember thinkin' murder in the car
Watching dogs somersault through sprinklers on tiny lawns
I remember the graffiti, we are your children coming in with spray cans of paint
I remember the sunset and the plains of cement
And the way the night seems to turn the color of orangeade
In this town cellular phones are hot with ~thieves~ [teens]
In this town we all go to terminal pubs
It helps us sweat out those angry bits of life
From this town, the English Army grind their teeth into glass
You know you'll get a kicking tonight
Smell of puke and piss
Smell of puke and piss on your stilettos
Here comes that panic attack
My heart stops, then it starts
Give me a drink
I'll drink your round
I take you round the pole
It's cold up here [I see the universe waiting by a minibus]
You'll catch the flu or you'll catch the city
either way, you'll catch the flu
or you'll catch the city
