Trash

Oh, maybe, maybe it's the clothes we wear,
The tasteless bracelets and the dye in our hair,
Maybe it's our kookiness,
Oh, maybe, maybe it's our nowhere towns,
Our nothing places and our cellophane sounds,
Maybe it's our looseness,
But we're trash, you and me,
We're the litter on the breeze,
We're the lovers on the streets,
Just trash, me and you,
It's in everything we do,
It's in everything we do...
Oh, maybe, maybe it's the things we say,
The words we heard and the music we play,
Maybe it's our cheapness,
Oh, maybe, maybe it's the times we've had,
The lazy days and the crazes and the fads,
Maybe it's our sweetness,
But we're trash, you and me,
We're the litter on the breeze,
We're the lovers on the street,
Just trash, me and you,
It's in everything we do,
It's in everything we do...
We're trash, you and me,
We're the lovers on the street,
We're the litter on the breeze,
Just trash, me and you,
It's in everything we do,
It's in everything we do...
Oh, you and me and you and me
Just oh, you and me and you and me

Lazy

Here they come with their make-up on
As lovely as the clouds, come and see them,
Boys and girls and their mums and their words
And their romances and jobs and their sons,
Barking mad kids, lonely dads
Who drug it up to give it some meaning,
From the raves and the council estates
They're reminding us there's things to be done.
But you and me, all we want to be is lazy,
You and me, so lazy...
Here they come gone 7am
Getting satellite and sky getting cable,
Bills and Bens and their mums and their friends
Who just really really want to be loved,
Uncle Teds and their legendary vests
Helping out around the disabled,
From the flats and the maisonettes
They're reminding us there's things to be done.
But you and me, all we want to be is lazy,
You and me, so lazy...
Lazy, lazy, lazy, lazy, ah, ah, ah, ah
You and me, all we want to be is lazy,
You and me, so lazy...
You and me, all we want to be is lazy,
You and me, so lazy...
It's you and me, it's you and me, it's you and me... 


By The Sea

She can walk out anytime, anytime she wants to walk out, that's fine,
She can walk out anytime, anytime she feels that life has passed her by,
Gonna start my new life I won't touch the ground,
Gonna try hard this time not to touch the ground.
He can walk out anytime, anytime he wants to walk out, that's  fine,
He can walk out anytime, cross the sand, into the sea, into the brine,
Gonna start my new life I won't touch the ground,
Gonna try hard this time not to touch the ground.
So we sold the car and quit the job
And shook some hands and wiped the make-up right off,
We said our good-byes to the bank
Left Seven Sisters for a room in a seaside shack,
Gonna start my new life I won't touch the ground,
Gonna try hard this time not to touch the ground...
It's by the sea we'll breed, it's by the sea we'll breed
It's by the sea we'll breed, it's by the sea we'll breed
Into the sea we'll bleed, into the sea we'll bleed...
Into the sea we'll bleed, into the sea we'll bleed...
Into the sea  


She

She, walking like a killer,
She, another night another pillow, la, la, la
Nowhere places, nowhere faces, no one wants to see,
No education, it's the arse of the nation,
She is bad, she is bored, she is bony, she is...
She, sh-shaking up the karma,
She, "injecting marijuana", la, la, la
Nowhere places, nowhere faces, no one wants to see,
No education it's the arse of the nation,
She is bad, she is bored, she is bony, she is...
She uh, she, uh, she uh, la, la, la
Nowhere faces, nowhere places, no one wants to be,
No stimulation in this privatisation,
She is bad, she is bored, she is bony, she is 
She uh, she uh, she uh, she uh, she uh, she uh 


Beautiful Ones

Oh, high on diesel and gasoline, psycho for drum machine
Shaking their bit to the hit,
Oh, drag acts, drug acts, suicide, in your dad's suits you hide
Staining his name again,
Oh, cracked up, stacked up, 22, psycho for sex and glue
Lost it to Bostik, yeah,
Oh, shaved heads, rave heads, on the pill, got too much time to kill
Get into bands and gangs,
Oh, here they come, the beautiful ones, the beautiful ones, la, la, la, la
Here they come, the beautiful ones, the beautiful ones, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Loved up, doved up, hung around, stoned in a lonely town
Shaking their meat to the beat,
Oh, high on diesel and gasoline, psycho for drum machine
Shaking their bit to the hit,
Oh, here they come, the beautiful ones, the beautiful ones, la, la, la, la
Here they come, the beautiful ones, the beautiful ones
Oh, you don't think about it,
You don't do without it,
Because you're beautiful, yeah, yeah
And if your baby's going crazy
That's how you made me, la, la
And if your baby's going crazy
That's how you made me, wow, wow
And if your baby's going crazy
That's how you made me, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

 
Starcrazy

She's star, starcrazy, electric-shock-bog-brush-hair,
Flat on her back in the 80's, in the 90's going nowhere,
Star, starcrazy, got a kicking transistor inside,
A heavy metal stutter that brains me,
And an electric love in her eyes,
Oh, she don't want education,
She got nothing to say,
She got no imagination (so they say)
Why does she feel this way?
Why does she feel this way?
Cos she's star, starcrazy, getting stupid on the streets tonight,
Shaking like a mechanical thing
With an electric love in her eyes,
Oh, she don't want education,
She got nothing to say,
She got no imagination (so they say)
Why does she feel this way?
Why does she feel this way?
We are violent, we are violent, we are
1, 2, 3, 4
She don't want education,
She got nothing to say,
She got no imagination (so they say)
Why does she feel this way?
Oh, she don't want education,
She got nothing to say,
She got no imagination (so they say)
Why does she feel this way?
Oh, she don't want education,
She got nothing to say,
She got no imagination (so they say)
Why does she feel this way?
Why does she feel this way?
Why does she feel this way? 


Picnic By The Motorway

I'm so sorry to hear about the news,
Don't you worry,
I'll buy us a bottle and we'll drink in the petrol fumes,
I'm so sorry to hear about your world,
Don't you worry,
There's a gap in the fence down by the nature reserve,
Oh hey, such a lovely day, such a lovely day,
Such a fun, looking at the lovers in a lay-by with my little one.
I'm so sorry to hear the news today,
Don't you worry,
There's been a speeding disaster so we'll go to the motorway,
I'm so sorry to hear about the scene,
Don't you worry,
Just put on your trainers and get out on it with me,
Oh hey, such a lovely day, such a lovely day,
Such a fun, looking at the lovers in a lay-by with my little one.
Oh hey, such a lovely day, such a lovely day,
Such a fun, looking at the lorries in the litter with my lovely one,
We could go dancing, we could go walking,
We could go shopping, we could keep talking,
We could go drinking, we could sit thinking,
We could go sleeping, or we could go dreaming, see?
Oh hey, such a lovely day, such a lovely day,
Such a fun, looking at the lovers in a lay-by with my little one.
Hey, such a lovely day, a lovely day,
Such a fun, looking at the lorries in the litter with my little one,

Such a fun, looking at the lovers in a lay-by with my little one.
Hey, such a lovely day, such a lovely day,
Such a fun, looking at the lorries in the litter with my little one. 


The Chemistry Between Us

And maybe we're just kids who've grown, and maybe not,
And maybe when we're on our own, we don't have much,
But oh, we are young and not tired of it,
Oh, we are young and easily lead,
Oh, by all the kids getting out of their heads.
Oh, Class A, Class B, is that the only chemistry?
Oh, Class A, Class B, is that the only chemistry between us?
And maybe we're just Streatham trash, and maybe not,
And maybe we're just capital flash in a stupid love,
But oh, we are young and not tired of it,
Oh, we are young and easily lead,
Oh, by all the kids getting out of their heads.
Oh, Class A, Class B, is that the only chemistry?
Oh, Class A, Class B, is that the only chemistry between us?
But oh, we are young and not tired of it,
Oh, we are young and easily lead,
Oh, we are the kids and we're out of our heads.
Oh, Class A, Class B, is that the only chemistry?
Oh, Class A, Class B, is that the only chemistry between us?


Saturday Night

Today she's been working, she's been talking, she's been smoking,
It's gonna be alright,
Cos tonight we'll go dancing, we'll go laughing, we'll get car sick,
And it'll be okay like everyone says, it'll be alright and ever so nice,
We're going out tonight, out and about tonight.
Oh, whatever makes her happy on a Saturday night,
Oh, whatever makes her happy, whatever makes it alright, ah
Today she's been sat there, sat there in a black chair, office furniture,
But it'll be alright,
Cos tonight we'll go drinking we'll do silly things,
And never let the winter in.
And it'll be okay like everyone says, it'll be alright and ever so nice,
We're going out tonight, out and about tonight.
Oh, whatever makes her happy on a Saturday night,
Oh, whatever makes her happy, whatever makes it alright.
We'll go to freak shows and peepshows,
We'll go to discos, casinos,
We'll go where people go and let go...
Oh, whatever makes her happy on a Saturday night,
Oh, whatever makes her happy, whatever makes it alright,
Oh, whatever makes her happy on a Saturday night,
Oh, whatever makes her happy, whatever makes it alright,
