2. Song 2
I got my head checkedBy 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
3. There's no other way
You're taking the funOut of everything
Making me run
When I don't want to think
You're taking the fun
Out of everything
I don't want to think at all
There's no other way
There's no other way
All that you can do
Is watch them play
You're taking the fun
Out of everything
You're making it clear
When I don't want to think
You're taking me up when
I dont want to go up anymore
I'm just watching it all
There's no other way
There's no other way
All that you can do
Is watch them play
I'll watch you play
4. The universal
This is the next centuryWhere the Universal's free
You can find it anywhere
Yes, the future's been sold
Every night we're gone
And to karaoke songs
How we like to sing along
'Though the words are wrong
It really, really, really could happen
Yes, it really, really, really could happen
When the days they seem to fall through you
Well, just let them go
No-one here is alone
Satellite's in every home
Yes, the Universal's here
Here for everyone
Every paper that you read
Says tomorrow's your lucky day
Well, here's your lucky day
It really, really, really could happen
Yes, it really, really, really could happen
If the days they seem to fall through you
Well, just let them go
5. Coffee & TV
Do you feel like a chain-store practicallyflored One of many zeros kicked around bored
Your ears are full, but you're empty holding
out your heart to people who never really
care how you are Chorus So give me coffee
and TV Peacefully I've seen so much, I'm
going blind And I'm brain-dead virtually
Sociability is hard enough for me take me
away from this big bad world and agree to
marry me so we can start over again. Do you
go to the country it isn't very far There's
people there who'll hurt you 'cos of who you
are your ears are full of their language
there's wisdom there you're sure 'till the
words start swirling/slurring and you can't
find the door Chorus (x2)
6. Parklife
Confidence is a preference for the habitualvoyeur of what is known as... (Parklife!)
And morning soup can be avoided if you take
a route straight chrough what is known as... (Parklife!)
John's got brewer's droop, he gets intimidated
by the dirty pigeons - they love a bit of it. (Parklife!)
Who's that gut lord marching? You should cut
down on your porklife, mate, get some exercise! (Parklife!)
All the people
So many people
And they all go hand in hand
Hand in hand through their parklife
Know what I mean?
I get up when I want, except on Wednesdays, when
I get rudely wakened by the dustmen. (Parklife!)
I put my trousers on, have a cup of tea, and I think
about leaving the house. (Parklife!)
I feed the pigeons, I sometimes feed the sparrows too.
It gives me a sense of enormous well-being. (Parklife!)
And then I'm happy for the rest of the day,
safe in the knowledge there will always be a bit of
my heart devoted to it.
(chorus)
Parklife - Parklife!
Parklife - Parklife!
It's got nothing to do with your vorsprung durch technic, you now.
Parklife - Parklife!
And it's not about you joggers who go round and round and round...
Parklife - Parklife!
(repeat chorus twice)
7. End of the century
She says there's ants in the carpetDirty little monsters
Eating all the morsels
Picking up the rubbish
Give her effervescence
She needs a little sparkle
Good morning TV
You're looking so healthy
We all say, don't want to be alone
We wear the same clothes cos we feel the same
And kiss with dry lips when we say goodnight
End of a century
Oh, it's nothing special
Sex on the TV
Everybody's at it
And the mind gets dirty
As you get closer to thirty
He gives her a cuddle
Glowing in a huddle
Good night TV
You're all made up
And you're looking like me
(chorus)
Can you eat her?
Yes, you can.
(repeat chorus twice)
Oh, end of a century
Oh, it's nothing special
8. No distance left to run
It's over you don't need to tell me I hopeyou're with someone who makes you feel save
in your sleeping tonight I won't kill myself
trying to stay in your life I've got no distance
left to run When you see me, please, turn your
back and walk away I don't wanna see you 'cause
I know the dreams that you keep that's where we
meet when you're coming down think of me here
I've got no distance left to run -whoo whoo
whoo- It's over I knew it would end this way
I hope you're with someone who makes you feel
that this life, is a life Who settles down,
stays around, spends more time with you, I've
got no distance left to run I'm coming home It's
over come on home no more
9. Tender
Tender is the night lying by your side. Tenderis the touch of someone that you love to much.
Tender is the day the demons go away. Lord, I
need to find someone who can heal my mind. Chorus
Come on, come on, come on get through it. Come on,
come on, come on love's the greatest thing. Come
on, come on, come on get through it. Come on, come
on, come on love's the greatest thing, that we
have, I'm waiting for that feeling,waiting for
that feeling, waiting for that feeling to come...
Oh my baby, oh my baby oh why, oh my (x2) Tender
is the ghost The ghost I love the most. Hiding
from the sun waiting for the night to come. Tender
is my heart it's screwing up my life. Lord, I need
to find someone who can heal my mind... Chorus (x2)
Tender is the night lying by your side. Tender is
the touch of someone that you love to much. Tender
is my heart it's screwing up my life. Lord, I need
to find someone who can heal my mind... Chorus Oh
my baby, oh my baby Heal me, heal me
10. Girls & Boys
Street's like a jungleSo call the police
Following the herd
Down to Greece - on holiday
Love in the nineties
Is paranoid
On sunny beaches
Take your chances - looking for
Girls who are boys
Who like boys to be girls
Who do boys like they're girls
Who do girls like they're boys
Always should be someone you really love
(repeat chorus)
Avoiding all work
Cos there's none available
Like battery thinkers
Count your thoughts - on one two three four five fingers
Nothing is wasted
Only reproduced
You get nasty blisters
Du bist sehr schen
But we haven't been introduced.
(repeat chorus twice. 2nd time:
Always should be someone to really love.)
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah
Looking for...
(repeat chorus four times. Last time:
Always should be someone to really love.)
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah
11. Charmless Man
I met him in a crowded roomWhere people go to drink away their gloom
He sat me down and so began
The story of a charmless man
Educated the expensive way
He knows his claret from his beaujolais
I think he'd like to have been Ronnie Kray
But then nature didn't make him that way
He went....
He thinks his educated airs
Those family shares
Will protect him
That we'll respect him
He moves in circles of friends
Who just pretend
That they like him
He does the same to them
And when you put it all together
There's the model of a charmless man
He knows the swingers and their cavalry
Says he can get in anywhere for free
I began to go a little cross-eyed
And from this charmless man I just had to hide
He talks at speed
He gets nose bleeds
He doesn't see
His days are tumbling
Down upon him
And yet he tries so hard to please
He's just so keen
For you to listen
But no-one's listening
And when you put it all together
There's the model of a charmless man
He thinks his educated airs
Those family shares
Will protect him
That you'll respect him
And yet he tries so hard to please
He's just so keen
For you to listen
But no-one's listening
And when you put it all together
There's the model of a charmless man
12. She's so high
I see her face everydayI see her face
It doesn't help me
She's so high
I want to crawl all over her
I think of her everyday
I think of her
lt doesn't help me
She's so high
I want to crawl all over her
She doesn't help me
She's so high
I want to crawl all over her
13. Country house
(So the story begins)City dweller
Successful fella
Thought to himself:
"Oops, I've got a lot of money
Caught in a rat race
Terminally
I'm a professional cynic
But my heart's not in it
I'm paying the price of living life at the limit
Caught up in the century's anxiety"
Yes, it preys on him
He's getting thin
(Try the simple life)
He lives in a house
A very big house
In the country
Watching afternoon repeats
And the food he eats
In the country
He takes all manner of pills
And piles up analyst bills
In the country
Oh, it's like an animal farm
That's the rural charm
In the country
He's got morning glory and life's a different story
Everything's going Jackanory
Touched with his own mortality
He's reading Balzac, knocking back Prozac
It's a helping hand that makes you feel wonderfully bland
Oh, it's a century's remedy
For the faint at heart
A new start
(Try the simple life)
He lives in a house
A very big house
In the country
He's got a fog in his chest
So he needs a lot of rest
In the country
He doesn't drink, smoke, laugh
Takes herbal baths
In the country
You should come to no harm
On the animal farm
In the country
(Blow, blow me out, I am so sad, I don't know why)
14. To the end
All those dirty wordsThey make us look so dumb
We've been drinking far too much
And neither of us mean what we say
Well you and I
Collapsed in love
And it looks like we might have made it
Yes, it looks like we've made it to the end
What happened to us?
Soon it will be gone forever
Infatuated only with ourselves
And neither of us can think straight anymore.
Well you and I
Collapsed in love
And it looks like we might have made it,
Yes, it looks like we've made it to the end
When you and I
Collapsed in love
Well, it looks like we might have made it
Yes, it looks like we've made it to the end.
You and I
Just collapsed in love
And it looks like we might have made it
Yes, it looks like we've made it to the end
15. On your own
Holy man tiptoed his way across the gangesThe 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)
16. This is a low
And into the seaGoes pretty England and me
Round the Bay of Biscay
And back for tea
Hit traffic on the Dogger Bank
Up the Thames to find a taxi rank
Sail on by with the tide
And go to sleep
And the radio says...
"This is a low
But it won't hurt you.
When you're alone,
It will be there with you,
Finding ways to stay solo."
On the Tyne, Forth and Cromarty,
There's a low in the high forties
And Saturdays locked away on the pier
Not fast enough, dear.
And on the Malin Head,
Blackpool looks blue and red
And the Queen, she's gone round the bend,
Jumped off Land's End.
And the radio says...
(repeat chorus)
"This is a low,
But it won't hurt you.
When you're alone,
It will be there with you.
This is a low,
But it won't hurt you.
When you're alone,
It will be there with you,
Finding ways to stay solo."
Lot 105
La la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la - ha ha
La la la la la la la la la la

Eighteen times a week, love
Ha ha ha ha ha!
17. For tomorrow
He's a twentieth century boy, with his hands on the railsTrying not to be sick again and holding on for tomorrow
London ice cracks on a seamless line, he's hanging on for dear life
So we hold each other tightly and hold on for tomorrow
Singing la la la la la la
Holding on for tomorrow
She's a twentieth century girl, with her hands on the wheel
Trying not to make him sick again, seeing what she can borrow
London's so nice back in your seamless rhymes,
but we're lost on the west way
So we hold each other tightly we can wait until tomorrow
CHORUS
Trying not to be sick again and holding on for tomorrow
She's a twentieth century girl hanging on for dear life
So we hold each other tightly and hold on for tomorrow
CHORUS
[OVERVOICE] Jim stops and gets out of the car, goes to a
house in emperor's gate, through the door and to his room,
then he puts the TV on, turns it off and makes some tea,
says modern life is rubbish, then Susan comes into the room,
she's a naughty girl with a lovely smile and says let's take
a drive to primrose hill it's windy there and the view is so
nice, London ice can freeze your toes like anyone I suppose
18. Music is my radar
You really got me seeing youReally got me done y'all
Music is my radar
Really topped my joy y'all
Really topped my radio
Really got me done y'all
Dealing I'll be seeing you
Really got my beats now, on my ear now...
Aah don't stop me now
Really got me changing from my bill from job
Into a new life, oh you really got
Really got me singing elsewhere, oh my girl
Really got me dancin', dancin' in my head now baby
Tony Allen dancing
Tony Allen dancing
Tony Allen gets what a boy can do
Really got me dancin'
He really got me dancin'
But I don't give my soul
All ya'll need and yeah don't give a soul
You really got me driftin'
You really got me dancin'
You really got me dancin' in my head
Aah don't stop me now
Aah don't stop me now
(You really got me dancin')
