London Bridge

I went and burnt my bridges at the weekend
and now there's nothing left but another week to end
And a sick and sunken soul in a drunken body like mine
From London Bridge I swim east along the tide
She says i wont wait i wont wait and now she tells me that she wants me.
She says i wont wait i wont wait, and now she tells me that she wants me,
and wont ya take me (HOME)
When battered heads dissemble and descend into a mess upon the city
When bleeding hearts awake from single beds and paint themselves so very pretty
Well from London Bridge you know its not such a bad sight oh no no
I Shudder hard at those memories of those filthy nights we spent
I never wanted to be the one who just came and went
oh lover you know i cant afford your game oh lover no i cant afford your game
she said, When battered heads dissemble and descend into a mess upon the city
When bleeding hearts awake from single beds and paint themselves so very pretty
When you're just 18, you never win and no, it's not right
Well from London Bridge you know its not such a bad sight
I wont wait i wont wait and now she tells me that she wants me
She says I wont wait, i wont wait and now she tells me that she wants me
And that she loves me, oh take me home, take me home, why wont you take me home,
come on take me home

Selfish Ways

We think about making a score
We think about a little bit more
While you suffer our selfish ways
While I look at your elfish face
Oh we can't think of anything else
So you suffer us alone on your shelf
While you whisper your selfless praise
While you suffer our selfish ways
Oh, I'm sorry but we've gotta breathe
And I know it's not easy
Through all of these days
You chose my selfish ways
Oh I know I'm not so sure
And I might not be so pure
But through all of these days
You suffer my selfish ways

And you love it!

Darling, I'll bring you fire wood
But I will burn your house down

Darling, I'll bring you fire wood
But I will burn your house down

We think about making a score
And we think about a little bit more
While you suffer our selfish ways
While I look at your elfish face
Oh, we can't think of anything else
So you suffer us alone on the shelf
And I'd be better, I'd be better, I'd be better...
If you let go of my tether... but you never

Oh, my darling, I'll bring you fire wood
But I will burn your house down

Darling, I'll bring you fire wood
But I will burn your house down

To the ground

Oh I'm sorry
I really am
If I cut your heart to ribbons
I'm not really that kind of man

But you love it!

Oh, my darling, I'll bring you fire wood
But I will burn your house down

Darling, I'll bring you fire wood
But I will only let you down

End of an Era

Get out the way
I don't need you anymore
You're not my sweet, sweet sixteen
I don't like it anymore

You catch me at my worst
But I try to get better
Or am i just a scruffy lad
Who remembers what he once had

Better get out the way, Better get out the way
Its alright to run away, Its alright to run away

What a wanker, What a wanker
I'm going away from here, I'm going away from here
It's not happy when a long relationship ends
It's not happy when a long relationship ends

Call me Ishmael, Call me what you want
Take that skin that you're beating
Would you rather not a drum, Wanker

Too much coke, Broke another mirror
Shattered into ten of me
Not one sees any clearer

Better get out the way, Get the fuck out the way
It's alright to run away, It's alright to run away

What a wanker, What a wanker
I'm going away from here, I'm going away from here
It's not happy when a long relationship ends
It's not happy when a long relationship ends

Tuned To A Different Station

Say hello man you know she's great
I do all that i can though i somnambulate i'm alright
I've been governed by a lover that i never could alter
Convinced i'd discover a new world order of light
It goes dark, it goes dark, it goes dark

I suffer from a lack of concentration
(I just can't seem to concentrate)
Still got faith in my generation
(I hope you're coming and won't be late)
My brain's just tuned to a different station
(My brain's all tuned to a different state)
And i miss ya, and i miss ya, and i miss ya

Say hello man you know she's great
I do all that i can though i somnambulate i'm alright
I got summin over here, summin over there
It's lucky we can breath coz there's summin in the air tonight
It goes dark, it goes dark, it goes dark

I suffer from a lack of concentration
(I just can't seem to concentrate)
Still got faith in my generation
(I hope you're coming and won't be late)
My brain's just tuned to a different station
(My brain's all tuned to a different state)
And i miss ya, and i miss ya, how i miss ya

Tarred and Feathered

I'm on the road
I'm making plans
Dismiss this one-night misunderstanding
And if I fail
At least I tried
Out of this jail
I'll still be dreaming

I will dismiss this misunderstanding, like I don't even know ya
I won't miss this misunderstanding, you can't eclipse my corona

Oh what a bad boy
What a sad scene
Oh what a bad egg
Well what about me

Out of control
Misunderstood
Drop in the ocean
I never would
I want some money
And I'll make them proud
And if I fail

I'll still be dreaming

I will dismiss this misunderstanding, like I don't even know ya
I won't miss this misunderstanding, you can't eclipse my corona

Oh what a bad boy
What a sad scene
Oh what a bad egg
Well what about-

They tar you with a brush
You're feathered like a thrush
You're stuck just like a stone in the road
You're tired of living rough
You've had just about enough
You're stuck just like a stone in the road, oh no no

You can't eclipse my corona

Oh what a bad boy
What a sad scene
Oh what a bad egg
Enough about him, what about me
I didn't do nothin, what a bad boy
Oh what a sad scene
Oh what a bad egg
What about me

Wait

We talk about a lot of things
We talk about all the things to come
We talk about going to sleep about
Waking up, now i've woken up
I never thought it'd hurt this much
I never thought that it would hurt this much

We threw stones to the river bed
We took turns saying all the things we said
We got drunk on a beach
You're out of reach
I never thought it'd hurt this much
I never thought that it would hurt this much
But it did

Wait don't leave me
I don't wanna watch you go
No I don't wanna watch you go
(but what you never love you never know)

Heading For An Early Grave

In a doorway stinking of shame
I take some shelter from the Hackney rain
The pigs won't fly when you want them to
And the ones you loved are done thinking of you
And your head's away like a train
But there's life signs bubbling amongst this rubble
Like dogs in the boneyard digging up trouble we are
Heading for an early grave
Our headstones carved and the ground awaits us anyday

Oh you can't get away from the poison peach
Not the woman you can learn from the girl you can teach
So you divide yourself let the other decide
One tells the truth the other one lies
Now both beyond your reach
But there's life signs bubbling amongst this rubble
Like mutts in the boneyard digging up trouble we are
Heading for an early grave
Our headstones carved and the ground awaits us anyday

Here lies poor Johnny, R.I.P to you
But i choose to love it
And i choose to love you too
I'll never kick this habit
It's just something that runs me through
So carry on lugging your knackered old cares and selling your wares
Whether they love ya or hate ya
Well i love ya

We're heading for an early grave
Our headstones carved and the ground awaits us anyday

Englands in the Wars

Red

The cold light of mourning
No covers on the bed
Blown apart by this nothing and it’s got me seeing red

My cracked face stoned
And it sealed away a blade
Now nothing will stop me
It’s cut a cancer in my brain

[She loves you, like you know she would
She'll echo through the cold just like you know she would]

Steer through the streets like an ice-breaker lost
I focus on the cold and the colour that it costs
Hypnotised by the sky I try to bring down a driving rain

Have you ever lost all feeling
Have you ever lost all feeling
Well you’ve gotta have something
And it’s got me seeing red, red, red

[She loves you, like you know she would
She'll echo through the cold just like you know she would]

The cold light of mourning
No covers on the bed
Blown apart by this nothing and it’s got me seeing red

Turn Against This Land

Arrested by the water
Wearing many shades of strange
Carted off to the policeman
Your mum calls your name
But your gone...
And all they wants is to understand
Why your splintered heart and your maddened hands
Turn against this land

Dirty Little Shop

We got four letter words with your name right on em
Hypocritical Oath, you took it with gusto
Your collagen smiles you love em like money
Your dirty little shop it doesn't run like clockwork

We try not to run, try not to cry
They take you for a lift then they take you for a ride
No you can't sit still and let em have their day, the
City calls- Ruckin the night away

You don't let it fall apart
Their stabbin' little daggers right through your heart
Don’t matter what they say

You got fashion nonsense, your off like milk
Our insufficient funds cause you no guilt
The coldest place in the betting shop
Is by the litter bin, you lost the lot

You try not to run
You try not to cry
No you cant sit still and let em have their day
City calls- Ruckin the night away

You don't let it fall apart
Their stabbin' little daggers right through your heart
Don’t matter what they say

I'm not playing..
We're not playin'

You don't let it fall apart
Their stabbin' little daggers right through the heart
Don’t matter what they say
Don’t matter what they say
Don’t matter what they say

Soldier On

Here's to the lonely old soldiers

Gonna walk into the street
With the confidence on apex predator
Gonna ask the first pretty girl i meet
If she fancies a trip to the west end cinema

I will sit her in the back row tell her what i know
Listen to her whispers share her shadow
I will fall into line with the evening tide
Ready present arms open wide

All my best laid plans, they might have to wait 'till tomorrow
Coz it's been an hour since i took off
And there's no pretty girls to speak of ..Yeh right

How will i sit her in the back row tell her what i know
Listen to her whispers share her shadow
When i march 'round the corner into a post
What the hell am i doing must admit that i dont know I dont know

Here's to the lonely old soldiers
Here's to the lonely old soldiers
Here's to the lonely old soldiers
Here's to the lonely old boys

How will i sit her in the back row tell her what i know
Listen to her whispers share her shadow
Will i sit her in a row bare my soul
Listen to her whispers share her shadow

I dont know

Winston Smith

You might see snow drenched roof tops
A stalagtite falls to the alley like an arrow from cupid
into you, the world has stopped
And it's pretty as a picture

You might not notice
How cold it gets when the gin runs out and history
is born again
You can't even think
How you wanna be with her

Well here we are darling, Jam never tasted so good
Nothing ever felt so warm as you, above this old
world shop
With it's old world trinkets
But how dare we even think it

When there's a cardboard box
With shivering feet full of distant memories and
nearby fantasies
Of good heels and cashmere socks
There's a cold war on the world

That's what i heard

I opened up
Told her i'm lonely
I said dont you know me
She said who're you talking to?
Her memory's faded
Irradicated
She's been infiltrated
But oh how i waited
Because i know there's something
I just can't get to it
I wasted years
And how i held you near
I tasted fear
But how i held you near
And i fought The Combine
Until they let me outside
Where it was pretty as a picture

This Stone Is A Bullet

When wind blows through a smashed window
They've got regrets and no-where to go
With a smile on our faces
To the market place

We never had very innocent minds
For retribution we were two of a kind
When the college boys fired
Our conscience expired

It was alright to see them run away
It's always alright to see the boys again. RIGHT

Why'd they never learn
Is ignorance habitual
It makes your stomach turn
We'll get you on the way home

Now these young conservatives
Should have rusks and bibs
Not parliamentary futures
We got fruit that'll suit yer

To top it all you get a pellet in the wall
Right next to your head
God help us all if they graduated
We swap stones for their lead

It was alright to see them run away
It's always alright to see the boys again. RIGHT

Why'd they never learn
Is ignorance habitual
It makes your stomach turn
We'll get you on the way home

This stone is a bullet
This stone is a bullet, in our
Shit storm with the bullies
Shit storm with the bullies

Why'd they never learn
Is ignorance habitual
It makes your stomach turn
We'll get you on the way home
And why when we all freeze
Where'd ya get a coat like that
Oh man, what’s up with that

Chained To No One

I'm half the man that i wanna be
But is the other half coming on quite fast
Will i wash that longing man away from me

Now this half's gone out for tea
There's nobody home, he's left the lights on
He's down the street singing abuse at everyone

And when the morning comes
It takes away his charms
It leaves him battered and bruised
Bloody and knackered and laughed upon
Yeh but he's chained to no-one

So it's Hangman yes i see
Well i'll take a 'J' a 'U' an 'N' a 'K' an 'I' a Hey I dont wanna play anyway
It's me yeh you know me
I could fall in love with anyone
But they should section you you nutter Napolean

And when the morning comes
It takes away his charms
It leaves him battered and bruised
Bloody and knackered and laughed upon
Yeh but he's chained to no-one, no

Oh no
What we gonna do
We got so much to do in front of us
So little to loose behind but re-print old news
And the louder that they whistle
The less we're gonna hear
For constantly we've got the call of the wild
Ringing in our ears
And we're chained to no-one
To no-one, no

So i'm half the man that i wanna be
But is the other half coming on quite fast
Will i wash that longing man away from me

Forget It All

Appalled at the welfare
Of the voiceless parties
Just look at them marching
And dancing for you all
They're whipped to the back-bones
They're hooked through the haunches
By puppets and politics
By sticks and stones
Run from the white coats
Run 'till your far away

And dont worry
It's not your fault
Your running
To forget it all

For the plague dogs wasted
For the dancing bears
Nothing makes it right
Drumming little monkeys' thousand mile stares
Out to the woods and pastures
The wrong side of sane
Licking a wound from a cigarette butt
Howling at the moon your covered in cuts, well

Run from the white coats
You're not gonna dance today

And dont worry
It's not your fault
Your running
To forget it all

Little Pretenders

Right now i think i'm better off out with a packet of snouts and a shivering face
than the place called home i just come from, there's trouble brewing, it wouldn't be long
So it's with the boys go spitting in the park with the freezing outlooks and the boiling hearts
buyright cowboys eyes like my mischief a possie on pushbikes looking for business

hoods up in flying formation chase the memories away
like little pretenders to the old east enders a Ronnie and Reggie craze
Pray to the alter of the old bus stop
Pray for a better off life
'Till a distant war drums heavy inside
woss up with Paul, he's pullin out a knife

Oi Paul! i said your off your face if you think there's glory it's East 1 mate not West Side Story
put the fuckin knife away or they'll bang you up for the rest of your days
He looks at me with the Devil in his eyes 'are you on my side or are you mechanised'?!
i dont need you no more, i'm better on me own and with a stab stab stab he left me in the road

hoods up in flying formation see the old gentleman run
like little pretenders to the old east enders
'you aint no gangster son'
you know i fought two wars for your skinny behinds
your kind dont deserve pro life
'till a distant war drums heavy inside as i fall to the floor Paul's pullin out a knife

He's given up on life
Stupid!

hoods up in flying formation chase the memories away
like little pretenders to the old east enders riding to a better day
Pray to the alter of the old bus stop
Pray for a better off life
'Till a distant war drums heavy inside
woss up with Paul, he's pullin out a knife

And i'm burning inside

On A Bridge, By A Pub

Tonight I've got four invites and four little packets and I'm heading for the bright light
Bad memories can't catch me now I've got one foot in heaven and the other in town
You might have seen me around
On a bridge
By a pub
On the park
In the club
Oh poor man, a victim of circumstance
Silver bars all in a row
I dont want to know

Well i knew who i was when i got up this morning but that was a long long time ago and now
I'm not so sure
They say he's got the patter yeh listen to him natter
Over there with the eyes, mad as a hatter he's kissed the Blarney stone, twice
On a bridge
By a pub
On the park
In the club
Oh poor man, a victim of circumstance
Coppers' shields all in a row
I dont want to know

Oh poor boy what can the matter be what're we going to do with you
When we're stupid arseholes all of us, look in the news
What can you do

Who Are You?

When thirsty woke up
He didn't know where he was, he said
I've got to do something
About where i'm going wrong
I'm not very nice
Put the champagne on ice and i'll
Try a little tenderness for a change

Amidst these broken hearts
He's still lonely

Always the same won't you do yourself a favour
Staring in the mirror at your deviant behaviour
Who are you

Back to work on Monday
He's bored out of his face
There's got to be a better way
Coz he's bored
And now he's depressed
Red wine on his string vest
He put the pissed in philanthropist
And he's always out of place
So make me a better offer
I just wanna say i love you
Won't someone be the first thing that i think of

Amidst these broken hearts
He's still lonely

Always the same won't you do yourself a favour
Staring in the mirror at your deviant behaviour
Who are you, Who are you, Who are you, Hey!

These Days

Days so cold put on your Balaclavas
Call the police oh what a palava
I'll take the door love you take the safe
It's a perilous place but we dont care these days
Because stormy weather is bringing us together again
Just raise your eyes and see how much it's raining

And in all this rain
The room like lightning
With the blue lights flashing outside
Your face as pretty as astronomy
And if a bullet whistles
Like a poison kiss
Well i dont care these days

Now she's knee deep in fifty pound notes
While a slow red river runs sleepily over
We could have walked in the park in a cold eclipse
Had a go at each other like a tramp eating up his chips
But instead i raise my eyes to see how much i love you

And in all this rain
The room like magic
With the blue lights flashing outside
Your face as pretty as astronomy
Let the bullet whistle
Like a poison kiss
Coz i dont care these days

By the River

By the river through cobwebbed crannies we crawl
Up against them all
Under bridges and over graffitied walls
We sin and fall
All our cravings our midnight ravings our love affairs
Were born right there
I swear
I dont know how it started
Or if it's ever gonna end
But ever since we parted
I've had a feeling that is
Strange

From the dirty old dealer in his bivouac
To the meadow by the river off the beaten track
With a pocket full of poison
We wont forget this one
To the bloody stained floors of the local casualty
With television eyes and a loss of dignity
To the boys in blue
What we gonna do
I dont
I dont know how it started
Or if it’s ever gonna end
But ever since we parted
I've had a feeling that is
Strange, strange

We grew up with this every day
But the smiley faces helped us out, in a way
We got broken bones, sick on the floor
A bloke who thinks he's a matador in the way
In our way
We got silhouetted, caught light headed in the field
Where we lay
And i hope your better mate coz i can't stop getting afraid
If you're ok
We were by the river we've got cold steel legs and
shivering heads
At the thought of how we're coming down
We're getting out of this town
I dont
I dont know how it started
Or if it's ever gonna end
But ever since we parted
I've had a feeling that is
Strange, strange

Let It Lay

Had a thought there was a man with no opinion
Likened him to a king with no dominion
And nobody to lord it over
He just weren't finished being a wild rover
I opine that i just dont waste time
And i find that with hindsight all of us would wither to the fray
You'd better roam away

And if you’re roaming away dont waste it
If you’re roaming away dont waste it

You've been waiting like only long lost lovers can
You've been dreaming
Oh bring on blissful ignorance and give me some control
Give me one last chance to make a go of it
Remember when you say
Oh let it lay
It's a funny old game but you still love it
Only you somehow went and lost it across the way
So i'm here to let you know
It smells like rain

And if you’re roaming away dont waste it
If you’re roaming away dont waste it

And if it's gonna rain
Then let it rain
If your gonna fight
Then have a fight
It's alright

It's ok, you've just gone the wrong way
It's alright, it's alright
