"Welcome"

AT THE END OF THE DAY

So what is going on out there today
The shares are down and the war goes on, lets pray
It’s cast a shadow on everything
And the pretty girl on seven would say
At the end of the day

Here is the news at the end of the day
As it is brought to you
Those cheesy smiles and plastic faces
Hide behind the powder and glue

So what is real and meaningful to you and me
The big boys still play with their expensive toys
And the clergy are still buggering the boys
And the pretty girl on seven would say
At the end of the day

Chorus

But I’m bored and tired with editorial junk
My eyes are closed I’m a new age punk
What goes on outside these walls I have no say
I don’t make the news

At the end of the day

Here is the news at the end of the day
(There’s no room for changing our stance, its clear)
As it is brought to you
(The police say it is for your own good)
Those cheesy smiles and plastic faces
(The doctrine methods are nothing to fear)
And the pretty girl on seven would say

Chorus


 POSTCARD

So let me introduce you
To my postcard town
In a land not so far away
Where outsiders come
And are forced to go
Where only the locals can stay

Coz it’s a local place for local people
It’s Hicksville in disguise
You thought your dad was your brother
But your sister is your mother
So don’t be so surprised

On closer inspection
You must pay attention
It’s complicity that rules
In the company of fools
And the populous accepts
As obedient willing tools

Chorus

Welcome

So now you’ve been
To my postcard town
Where the locals have the last say
For your own protection
And natural selection
Just stay well away

Chorus

Chorus

A LYING ARSE NUMPTY. MAN

It’s said that love is blind
And true love is so hard to find
The first love is not always the best
Until you’ve been put through the test

Sometimes you need to be told
Other times you just know
He was number one to me
But I was down at number three

Coz he must have seen me commin’
I was so naive (naive)
He took away my innocence
And left me bare and insignificant

Some men are so nice
But it comes at such a high price
There are many out there that will treat you right
So don’t be scared to put up a fight

Chorus

He’s cheating, he’s lying
He’s seeing me crying
I’m confused, abused
And he’s so amused

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh yeah

Chorus

He’s cheating (he’s cheating)
He’s lying (lying)
He’s seeing me crying
I’m confused (confused)
I’m being abused
And he’s so amused

Chorus

OUR GOODBYES

When we walk together
Do we say goodbye
Or do we say hello
Just because we have blood ties
Can you treat me so

You’re away with the fairies at a pace
An arsehole that wears a face
Your smile tells me what you’ve had for lunch
Yes you are a bloody disgrace

To you I never made the grade
Or went beyond the social grade
It’s hard to reconcile
The ways of grace and social style
The ways of grace and social style

See families should learn to say goodbye
Have the courage to repent and cry
Knowing that the tears of the past are gone
Can’t let them be tomorrow’s right or wrongs

The pointed finger and daggered eyes
Don’t let them be
Our goodbyes
Don’t let them be our goodbyes

Chorus

We need to accept we’re at different poles
Save our mind and save our souls
Not that we’re all that different
That’s the simple truth
Sanity walks with madness
There is your proof

Chorus


SIMPLISTIC STATISTIC

I was brought into this world
As an insignificant statistic
My life followed
The conventional uniform simplistic
Until my number came up on a random search
And Big Brother watches from his robotic perch

So on my grave stone please print my national insurance number
And wipe my file clean with the finger of thunder
Delete all reminiscence of my existence
And bow down to the new age of digital acceptance

I can now be viewed
Through a satellite lens
And compared with more
To graph all of the trends
A pie chart will show the errors of my ways
I receive a bill stamped ‘have a nice day’

Chorus

Don’t make any expression keep a blank face
(a blank face)
Look straight ahead and don’t quicken your pace
(don’t quicken your pace, don’t quicken your pace)
Avoid eye contact just incase
(just incase, just incase)
Coz we’re now manufacturing
The new improved digital race

I was brought into this world
(into this world)
As an insignificant statistic

"Beautiful Angel"

GOODBYE GIRL

She sits on the grass with her elbows on the ground
Her mind wonders all over what might have been
See we all make mistakes and she’s made her share
But few have time to reflect and even less care

It’s goodbye to the world she knew yesterday
She’ll bury the pain that has driven her to go
It’s time to take stock, to put herself first
To deal with this grief for better or worse

Chorus
Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye Girl
Hope you find what is right for you
Goodbye, Goodbye Girl
Hope you are one of the few, oh oh oooooooh

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ahhhhhh

The Goodbye Girl is going today
She’s squared up the ledger with those she had to pay
The Goodbye Girl ain’t gonna be sad
She’s starting a fresh and she’s really glad

It’s a wonderful dream to know your free
Even though it is a hard call to make
Look at yourself and what would you find
Coz goodbye might be hard
But there in everyone’s mind

Chorus

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ahhhhhh

It’s a wonderful dream to know your free
Even though it is a hard call to make
Look at yourself and what would you find
Coz goodbye might be hard
But there in everyone’s mind

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ahhhhhh

Chorus

Goodbye Girl

CARDBOARD CITY

It’s another cold night in tinsel town
Not all the rooms have been booked in Cardboard City
With room service that’s not all that pretty
But the guest are not looking for pity

LIfes river runs through and it’s very deep
And the people are kinda shallow
One dimensional and insular
But they still draw the people from afar

Chorus
Cardboard City has great views
The grapevine knows all it’s latest news
The guests just enjoy its cultured grace
Welcome to this wonderful toll free place

Open air restaurants with marvellous cuisines
No smorgasbord eat what can be seen
Scrape the bottom of some old barrel
Another lost sole who now gone feral

Chorus

When it’s dark and the lights are out
There’s always a perverse welcome in Cardboard City
The intellectuals put the world to right
Gaze from their brown bagged bottles over vibrant city lights

Chorus

LEADER OF MY OWN NATION 

I would deeply love to be as good as you
But there really is no point coz then there would be two
It’s hard enough to live in the shadows that you cast
When I look for your advice, it seems that I’m the last

I find it hard just to be myself
Watching as everyone showers you with love
For I am just left sitting on the shelf
Realising that I must fight to be myself

Chorus
Oh yeah
It’s not jealousy that fills my heart
It’s just an overflow of admiration
I’m not one of your loyal subjects
I’m the leader of my own nation

Don’t seem right to get what you want
Lifes like that for you right now
Go my own way true to my own
It’s just a waste of time try’n to be your clone

I’m not you and I’m not in your shadow
I now show I’m on equal terms
It’s a blessing to all who take the route
Piers except me for the respect I have earned

Chorus

They say if you weren’t about
I still wouldn’t be top of the pile
But how can you hope to compare
I’m me I’m me and I play a different style

Chorus


 BEAUTIFUL ANGEL 

You were somewhere between reckless and carefree
Someone told me that was how you were born to be
An untamed spirit with the world at your feet
The warmest caring person you could wish to meet

This was her life according to Donna
Anyone could see just to meet her was an honour
A massive heart that she shared around
You picked people up when they fell to the ground

Chorus
But our maker got is wrong this time
He took a life out of the wrong line
He mixed up the precious generation order
Parents should not have to burry their beautiful daughter

Well Donna my friend I have a few words to say
You will be dearly missed every single day
I know your up there as a beautiful angel
Keeping a close watch over from every angle

Chorus

God moves in mysterious ways, they say
But why was it you that had to pay
At 23 it was not your time
To be taken from the generation line

Chorus

No parents should not have to burry their beautiful daughter

LITTLE TOY WORLD

Today you made me feel like shit
The other days just as bad
You swank around like you own the place
With a smug look slapped upon your chevvy chase.

You huddle in the corner,
Right out of everyone’s sight
Then bitch your empty little head off
About the current plight

You see, nasty people get away with it
Coz nice people don’t say a thing
Well here’s a home truth for you my friend
I am the new king.

Chorus
Your a tin god in your little toy world
Your a big fish in a puddle
You live in your little tumble weed town
For the people that know your just a petty clown

I know you think you’re cleaver
And I know you think you’re smart
I know you think what you’re doing
Is a fuckin’ work of art!

But there’s one thing I’d like to tell you my friend
You are not as great as you think
Pull your head out of your fat arse
And sort out your personality kink.

Chorus

Well you can keep your little tumble weed town
Stay swimming in your puddle
Just stay away from me and mine
And carry on reigning over your pile of rubble

Chorus

"Kool Skools"

INFERIORITY COMPLEX

I go home at night, to my stand in dad
Which of course i know is very sad
Least ways not until you've seen the real one
That i suppose is the reason to feel thankful and glad

Cos there is something dreadfully wrong
And i'm sort of quite perplexed
Gotta chip on my shoulder, to go with my
Inferiority complex, complex

My mum's a peroxide blond
With botox to hide the tension lines
A big cologne smile
I think she's just a sign of the times

I have a brother in therapy
Cos he can't pull a bird
The shrink is disgusted with his behaviour
Says what he does to himself is quite absurd

Cos there is something dreadfully wrong
And i'm sort of quite perplexed
Gotta chip on my shoulder, to go with my
Inferiority complex, complex

I wanna be normal like everybody else
Away from the strains just to be myself
But my girl friend says what's wrong with being used
They/then can't understand why i am so confused

Cos there is something dreadfully wrong
And i'm sort of quite perplexed
Gotta chip on my shoulder, to go with my
Inferiority complex, complex
Inferiority complex
I've gotta inferiority complex, complex

 THE RUSSELL MAN

It's five to five on a friday night
A long hard week has been done
We count up the pennies and see what is left
Maybe if we're lucky after the divvy, we'll get some

There's a rap on the door, the tally mans here
Don the fell walker from russell's is doing his rounds
Hi, everyone he says with a grin
He's comming for his money, but it's not in pounds

For the russell man he don't call no more
The tallyman was the help of the poor
The russell man he don't call no more
The tallyman was the help of the poor

The russell man he is a dieing breed
The russell man he's the help we need
It wont be long before he's gone
He's no multi national, his business is wrong

No interest he charged, he was good to us
He sat and had tea and made no fuss
It was the point between having and not
For the russell man, that started the rot

For the russell man he don't call no more
The tallyman was the help of the poor
The russell man he don't call no more
The tallyman was the help of the poor

This is the/a man, who knows how hard it can be
Every day he sees people like you and me
Credits the name of his game
Small change, to him is all the same

Now things have changed and there's credit no more
And poor don don't call at our door for sure
There's no place left, for a man that tries
And the widow bemoans and is left with her cries

See the russell man he don't call no more
The russell man he don't call no more
He's been swallowed whole
Now we're/he's lost for sure
The russell man he don't call no more

See the russell man he don't call no more
The russell man he don't call no more
He's been swallowed whole
Now we're/he's lost for sure
The russell man he don't call no more

"I Still Like Marmite!"

PINS IN MY DOLLY

I have a hunch
That someone out there don't like me
It's the knife in the back
That gives it away
There you go, what more can I say

Strange calls and letters without names
Lovely little darlings
Just part of their game
Smile sweetly to my face
It's plain juvenile assassination
Just wants me out of this place

See I have conjured up a plan
For my revenge
And I know that I'll have them crying soon
And they will be very sorry
Cos I'm sticking pins in my dolly
(Sticking pins in my dolly)

I started with the nose and the cheek
Then at last I stuck it into the eye
I hope it makes them bloody cry
It's a bit of sweet revenge...
Such fun, such fun!

Now I know that what I do is wrong also
That it's no good to mess with Voodoo
But hey, I couldn't care less
My aim is to silently hurt just as you do

There is nothing I can do
There is nothing I can say
That will improve the position I'm in
It just - won't - go - away

See I have conjured up a plan
For my revenge
And I know that I'll have them crying soon
And they will be very sorry
Cos I'm sticking pins in my dolly
(sticking pins in my dolly)

I started with the nose and the cheek
Then at last I stuck it into the eye
I hope it makes them bloody cry
It's a bit of sweet revenge...
Such fun, such fun!
Such fun, such fun!
PERIPHERAL VISION

You think you see all around
With your team of seeing eyes
You tell us of your knowing ways
But all they ever hide is your mass of lies

You dive into unknown conflicts
You push your armor where it's not wanted
Your the priest of moral indignation
You should've let diplomacy do the work instead

You've got no, Peripheral Vision
You've got no, eyes to see
You've got no, love for others
You only think of me me me!!!

You sit on your pile of bank notes
Your decadence just has no sole
You lack any form of wisdom
Just like a blind old vole

You've got no, Peripheral Vision
You've got no, eyes to see
You've got no, love for others
You only think of me me me
Me me me, me me me!!!

You think you see all around
With your team of seeing eyes
You tell us of your knowing ways
But all they ever hide is your mass of lies

You've got no, Peripheral Vision
You've got no, eyes to see
You've got no, love for others
You only think of me me me
Me me me, me me me, me me me
Me me me, me me me
Me me me, me me me!!!

Me me me, me me me
Me me me, me me me!!!

MADNESS

  I can't find the hairs on the palm of my hands
It's not me that's mad you must understand
I know that you're smart in that calculated way
But you drive me crazy day after day
But you drive me crazy day after day

You've left me spinning in circles
And bouncing off the walls
Lying in the gutter, it's got you by the balls
You tear apart what you hold so dear
See the shadows in the corner living in fear
See the shadows in the corner living in fear

Madness creeps up on you (Creeps up on you)
Like a thief in the night (Like a thief in the night)
Takes away your sanity that you held so tight
(That you held so tight)
That you held so tight
That you held so tight

Spongy forms the brain to a soggy mess
As friends walk away and want to know you less
The first sign of madness is talking to yourself
Then the second sign must be talking to you
The second sign must be talking to you

Madness creeps up on you (Creeps up on you)
Like a thief in the night (Like a thief in the night)
Takes away your sanity that you held so tight
(That you held so tight)
That you held so tight
That you held so tight

You need locking up
The key thrown away
Til you are better one day

 

PRETTY BABE

  Your teeth stick out
Your hair has no sheen
You're an ugly duckling
Or so it seems
To be on the outside
To be on the outside
Is it your destiny to be lonely and hide

What makes you different
Cuts you apart
You don't act like no slag or tart
You don't need a boy
That only eyes your body
You have more class than that
Not that shoddy

You're a pretty babe (Pretty babe)
A real cute pretty babe (Pretty babe)
The real people see what is clear to see
The people that know what will be, will be

But at 15 You feel like you're left on the shelf
Watch TV with parents
Be all by yourself
Just a plain looker
With no future
Be an old maid
Before there's a suiter

But the boy that has all the feelings
Hides them just the same
To  him everything that makes you feel bad
Are the light and reason to be glad

You're a pretty babe (Pretty babe)
A real cute pretty babe (Pretty babe)
The real people see what is clear to see
The people that know what will be, will be

Don't worry pretty babe
He's out there for you
And one day true love will be through and through
Cos you keep your class and dignity
And one day the entire world will see

That you're a pretty babe (Pretty babe)
A real cute pretty babe (Pretty babe)
The real people see what is clear to see
The people that know what will be, will be
Will be, will be, will be, will be
A pretty babe (Pretty babe) will be, will be
Will be, will be, will be, will be
A pretty babe (Pretty babe)

"Ouch!"

SHE'S OUT OF CONTROL

She's out of control
That girl of mine
One day she's fine
The next day she is crazy
But she's mine

Yeah, all mine
But who knows the time, the time
When she's out of her mind
When she's out of her mind

She's out of control
We all duck for cover
Tread on broken glass
And weave in tippy toes
Would she be better as a brother?

She's out of control
So don't say what you don't mean
It wouldn't be taken the right way
N no matter what you say
Dealing with her is a bad dream!

Yeah, all mine
But who knows the time, the time
When she's out of her mind
When she's out of her mind

She's out of control
That girl of mine
One day she's fine
The next day she is crazy
But she's mine

Yeah, all mine
But who knows the time, the time
When she's out of her mind
When she's out of her mind

Yeah, all mine
But who knows the time, the time
When she's out of her mind
When she's out of her mind

She's out of control
We all duck for cover
Tread on broken glass
And weave in tippy toes
Would she be better as a brother?

Yeah, all mine
All mine, all mine
That crazy girl, all mine, all mine
Yeah, she's out her mind

 SKITTLES

Alex had a whole packet of Skittles
And didn't even offer me one
No Skittles for me, but
Gave 4 to her friend right
Next to her, next to her

Alex had a whole packet of Skittles
And didn't even offer me one
No Skittles for me, but
Gave 4 to her friend right
Next to her, next to her

Sitting in the cinema
Watching a new release
With a funny man in the screen
We had a few giggles
We had a few giggles
But however…

Alex had a whole packet of Skittles
And didn't even offer me one
No Skittles for me, but
Gave 4 to her friend right
Next to her, next to her

It was me, my sister and
Our friend who is wild
People laughed it was great to see
Our friend offered us chocolate
Our friend offered us chocolate
But however…

Alex had a whole packet of Skittles
And didn't even offer me one
No Skittles for me, but
Gave 4 to her friend right
Next to her, next to her

The film was spectacular
There was tons of people
To see this film with this funny man
At the 7 o'clock showing
At the 7 o'clock showing
But however…

Alex had a whole packet of Skittles
And didn't even offer me one
No Skittles for me, but
Gave 4 to her friend right
Next to her, next to her

There she was a chomping away
She didn't even care
They went down a treat, but not for me!
All I could see was a fast hand going
In and out, in and out, in and out
I will remember this next time for sure...

Alex had a whole packet of Skittles
And didn't even offer me one
No Skittles for me, but
Gave 4 to her friend right
Next to her, next to her, next to her

I DON'T WANNA GO BACK TO SCHOOL

I don't wanna go back to school
I don't wanna be made to look the fool
I don't wanna be told how to feel
Because to me it ain't the real deal

Don't wanna reinvent the wheel
Told its wrong to rob or steal
See I know what's wrong and what's right
And I'm tired of having to fight

See I don't wanna go back to school
Don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna
Ever go back to that horrid place
Never no more to show my face
Don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna
Ever go back to that horrid place...
I don't wanna go back to school

I wanna sit on the beach and have some fun
And idle the days in the summer sun
Play in the surf on the skies and mals
And then drink coke and laugh with my pals

Don't wanna do as my mum and dad say
Just gotta get out and have some fun and play
But all my happiness will come to an end
Because off to school will my parents send

See I don't wanna go back to school
Don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna
Ever go back to that horrid place
Never no more to show my face
Don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna
Ever go back to that horrid place...
I don't wanna go back to school

I don't wanna have my life made hell
See I ain't no snitch and tell
I was raised with manners and grace
I wanna make bullies be in my place

See I don't wanna go back to school
Don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna
Ever go back to that horrid place
Never no more to show my face
Don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna
Ever go back to that horrid place...
I don't wanna go back to school

See I don't wanna go back to school
Don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna
Ever go back to that horrid place
Never no more to show my face
Don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna
Ever go back to that horrid place...
I don't wanna go back to school
I don't wanna go back to school!
