New Generation
I wake up every day to see her back again
Screaming my name through the astral plane
In this catalogue town she takes me down
Down through the platinum spires
Down through the telephone wires
And we shake it around on the underground
Like a new generation rise
And like all the boys in all the cities
I take the poison, take the pity
She and I, we soon discover
We take the pills to find each other
Oh but when she is calling here in my head
Can you hear her calling?
And what she has said?
Oh but when she is calling here in my head
It's like a new generation calling
Can you hear it call?
And I'm losing myself, and I'm losing myself to you
Losing myself, and I'm losing myself
I wake up every day, to find her back again
Breeding disease on her hands and knees
While the styles turn and the books still burn
It's there in the platinum spires
It's there in the telephone wires
And we spread it around to the techno sound
Like a new generation rise
Cos like all the boys in all the cities
I take the poison, take the pity
She and I we soon discover
We take the pills to find each other
Oh but when she is calling here in my head
Can you hear her calling?
And what she has said?
Oh but when she is calling here in my head
It's like a new generation calling
Can you hear her call?
And I'm losing myself, and I'm losing myself to you
Losing myself, and I'm losing myself to you, to you, to you, to you


Together
She was standing smoking counting stolen change,
Don't someone have the guts to complain?
Said "Superman, I'm a big fan, let's get something straight,
Or you don't have the guts to complain"
Now your son's coming out to play
Your son's coming out to play
When you're on your own
Standing by the phone
We should get together
Got a supermarket stance
Just taking it hand-in-hand
We should get together
Just think of the life you'll save
Not stuck in your early grave
We should get together, together, together
I saw you standing smoking counting stolen change
But I don't have the guts to complain
I picked you up, got mixed up with you, that's OK
Cos now I've got the guts to complain
Now your son's coming out to play
Your son's coming out to play
When you're on your own
Standing by the phone
We should get together
Got a supermarket stance
Just taking it hand-in-hand
We should get together
Just think of the life you'll save
Not stuck in your early grave
We should get together, together, together
When you're on your own
Standing by the phone
We should get together
Got a supermarket stance
Just taking it hand-in-hand
We should get together
Just think of the life you'll save
Not stuck in your early grave
We should get together 
When you're on your own
Standing by the phone
We should get together
Got a supermarket stance
Just taking it hand-in-hand
We should get together
Just think of the life you'll save
Not stuck in your early grave
We should get together, together, together


Bentswood Boys
When you're high on diesel nightly
And the traffic starts to roll
Smoke a cigarette and watch the black girls
In the white boys world
Anything is possible cos he'll feel more
For the Bentswood boys
Where the karma comes with the kids and cat food
You see Tina push the pram
Cos she was on her back in his estate car
And in the back of his van
Anything is possible cos he'll feel more
For the Bentswood boys
For the Bentswood boys (things are happening)
For the Bentswood boys (tell it like it is)
Don't take me down, don't take me down, don't take me down south
Don't take me down, don't take me down, don't take me down south
Don't take me down, don't take me down, don't take me down south
Don't take me down, don't take me down, don't take me down south
Ha, ha, ha, Bentswood boys
