So Young
Because we're young, because we're gone,
We'll take the tide's electric mind, oh yeah?, oh yeah,
We're so young and so gone, let's chase the dragon, oh,
Because we're young, because we're gone,
we'll scare the skies with tigers eyes, oh yeah? oh yeah,
We're so young and so gone, let's chase the dragon, oh
Let's chase the dragon...
...from our home high in the city where the skyline
stained the snow, I fell for a servant who kept me on the boil
We're so young and so gone, let's chase the dragon from our home!
Animal Nitrate
Like his dad you know that he's had
Animal nitrate in mind,
Oh in your council home he jumped on your bones
Now you're taking it time after time
Oh it turns you on, on, now he has gone
Oh what turns you on now your animal's gone?
Well he said he'd show you his bed
And the delights of the chemical smile,
So in your broken home he broke all your bones
Now you're taking it time after time
Oh it turns you on, on, now he has gone
Oh what turns you on now your animal's gone?
What does it take to turn you on, on,
Now he has gone?
Now you're over 21?
Now your animal's gone?
...animal, he was animal, an animal.
She's Not Dead
She'll come to her end locked in a car somewhere with exhaust in her hair,
What's she called? I dunno, she's fucking with a slip of a man while the engine ran
And he said "She's not dead, she's gone away, gone away" he said
He said "She's not dead, just go away go away" he said
In the car he couldn't afford they found his made up name on her ankle chain,
So don't call, don't call her at home, she's fucking with a slip of a man while the engine ran
And he said "She's not dead, she's gone away gone away" he said
He said "She's not dead, she's gone away gone away" he said "Just gone away gone away
" he said
She's gone away to someone else's bed.
Moving
Shame on me well I had the beast you see
And if he can take it I can take him home with me,
Shame on her, she's a lovely little number
And when we go lassooing you get lassood, all of you
If you can take it, I can take it
And we're moving, so moving, so we are a boy, we are a girl
So moving, so moving...
Shame on the girl, she's got a big black dog in her
And while tough kids sing about tough kids she just skins the world,
We'll never never play the harp, and we'll stick like sick on the stars
And if you can take it I can take these stones from my heart
If you can take it, I can take it
And we're moving, so moving, so we are a boy we are a girl
So moving, so moving...
If you can take it, I can take it, all of me
If you can take it, I can take it all
If you can take it, I can take it, all of me
If you can take it, I can take it all!
Pantomime Horse
I was born as a pantomime horse
Ugly as the sun when he falls to the floor,
I was cut from the wreckage one day
This is what I get for being that way,
Well did you ever, did you ever go round with them?
Well did you ever, did you ever go round the bend?
I was conned by a circus hand
Tragic as the son of superman,
"I would die for the stars" she said
This is what I get for my beautiful head,
Well did you ever, did you ever go round with them?
Well did you ever, did you ever go round the bend?
...ever tried it that way, have you ever tried it that way?
The Drowners
Won't someone give me a gun?
Oh, well it's for my brother,
Well he writes the line wrote down my spine
It says "Oh do you believe in love there?"
So slow down, slow down, you're taking me over
And so we drown, Sir we drown, stop taking me over
Won't someone give me some fun?
(and the skin flies all around us)
We kiss in his room to a popular tune
Oh, real drowners
Slow down, slow down, you're taking me over
And so we drown, Sir we drown,
stop taking me over!
Sleeping Pills
Angel, don't take those sleeping pills, you don't need them
Though it's just time they kill,
Angel, give me your sleeping pills, you don't need them
Give me the time they kill,
You're a water sign, I'm an air sign
Gone gone to Valium, can you get me some?
You're a water sign, and I'm an air sign
Too Siamese to catch the leaves from those trees
Angel, don't take those sleeping pills, you don't need them
Though it's just time they kill,
You're a water sign, I'm an air sign
Pumped up with Valium, could you get me some?
You're a water sign, I'm an air sign
With sweet F.A. to do today, with sweet F.A. to do today...
...Angel, don't take those sleeping pills.
Breakdown
Back where the dogs bark, where still life bleeds the concrete white,
try not to go too far inside your mind.
Back where the cars decide, where the lame star limps an endless mile,
have I gone too far inside my mind?
Oh, if you were the one, would I even notice now my mind has gone?
Oh, if you were the one, would I even notice?
Back where the car was parked, where the canine in the A-line stole your time,
you can only go so far for womankind,
Oh, if you were the one, would I even notice now that he has gone?
Oh, if you were the one, would I even notice?
Does your love only come, does your love only come, does he only come in a Volvo?
Metal Mickey
Well she's show showing it off then
The glitter in her lovely eyes
Show show showing it off then
And all the people shake their money in time
She sells heart, she sells meat
Oh dad, she's driving me mad, come see
We shake shake shake to the trumpet
And through the slippery city we ride
Skyline swine on the circuit
Where all the people shake their money in time
She sells heart, she sells meat
Oh dad, she's driving me mad, come see
Animal Lover
I see you're moving, see you're moving, moving in with her
You'll pierce your right ear, pierce your heart here, this skinny boy is one of the girls
'Cos around my neck and around her neck hangs everything you are
I know you've been inside but what were you in for?
Animal lover, animal lover, animal lover?
I see you're moving, see you're moving like wildlife from the waist
But when your name's scratched in on a shiny ring your waist is my resting place
And around my neck and around her neck hangs everything you are
I know you've been inside but what were you in for?
Animal lover, animal lover, animal lover?
The Next Life
See you in your next life when we'll fly away for good,
Stars in our own car we can drive away from here
Far away, so far away, down to Worthing and work there
Far away, we'll go far away and flog ice creams 'til the company's on its knees...
...see you in your next life when we'll fly away for good.

Introducing the Band
Dog man star took a suck on a pill
And stabbed a cerebellum with a curious quill
Europe, America, Winterland
Introducing the band
Chic thug stuttered through a stereo dream
A fifty knuckle shuffle heavy metal machine
The tears of suburbia drowned the land
Introducing the band
So steal me a savage, subservient son
Get him shacked-up, bloodied-up and sucking on a gun
I want the style of a woman, the kiss of a man
Introducing the band
And as the sci-fi lullaby starts to build
See them whipping all the women, cracked governments killed
Oh let the century die to violent hands
Introducing the band
We Are the Pigs
Well the church bells are calling
Police cars on fire
And as they call you to the eye of the storm
All the people say "Stay at home tonight"
I say we are the pigs, we are the swine
We are the stars of the firing line
And as the smack cracks at your window
You wake up with a gun in your mouth
Oh let the nuclear wind blow away my sins
And I'll stay at home in my house
I say, we are the pigs
we are the swine
we are the stars of the firing line
But deceit can't save you so
We will watch them burn
Heroine
She walks in beauty like the night
Discarding her clothes in the plastic flowers
Pornographic and tragic in black and white
My Marilyn come to my slum for an hour
I'm aching to see my heroine
I'm aching been dying for hours and hours
She walks in the beauty of a magazine
Complicating the boys in the office towers
Rafaella or Della the silent dream
My Marilyn come to my slum for an hour
I'm aching to see my heroine
I'm aching been dying for hours and hours,
been dying for hours and hours
She walks in beauty like the night
Hypnotising the silence with her powers
Armageddon is bedding this picture alright
My Marilyn come to slum for an hour
I'm aching to see my heroine
Aching, been dying for hours and hours
I'm 18, I need my heroines
Aching, been dying for hours
Oh and I'm never alone now
Now I'm with her
The Wild Ones
There's a song playing on the radio
Sky high in the airwaves on the morning show
And there's a lifeline slipping as the record plays
And as I open the blinds in my mind I'm believing that you could stay
And oh if you stay I'll chase the rainblown fields away
We'll shine like the morning and sin in the sun
Oh if you stay
We'll be the wild ones, running with the dogs today
There's a song playing through another wall
All we see and believe is the D.J. and debts dissolve
And it's a shame the plane is leaving on this sunny day
Cos on you my tattoo will be bleeding and the name will stain
But oh if you stay we'll ride from disguised suburban graves
We'll go from the bungalows where the debts still grow every day
And oh if you stay I'll chase the rainblown fears away
We'll shine like the morning and sin in the sun oh if you stay
We'll be the wild ones running with the dogs today
We'll be the wild ones running with the dogs today
Daddy's Speeding
Whiplash caught the silver son
Took the film to No. I
Crashed the car and left us here
Broken glass for teenage boys trapped in steel and celluloid
Crashed the car and left us here.
And daddy burned a million eyes
Dared the dogs to criticise
He crashed the car and I was born
And daddy turned a million heads
Took the teenage dream to bed
He crashed the car and left us here
With dreams of gasoline drying our eyes
Green fields of destiny high in the sky
But oh can you see him?
Oh Daddy's speeding
Whiplash caught the silver son
Killed the sad American
Crashed the car and left us here
And sorrow turns his eyes to mine
Come with me now it's your time
Let's crash the car and I'll be born
And sorrow breaks the silent day
Takes the teenage boys away
They crash the cars and leave us here
With dreams of gasoline drying our eyes
Green fields and death machines high in the sky
But oh can you see him?
Oh, when Daddy's speeding
The Power
Through endless Asia, through the fields of Cathay
or enslaved in pebble-dash grave with a kid on the way
If you're far over Africa on the wings of youth
or if you're down in some satellite town and there's nothing you can do
Just give me, give me, give me the power
And I'll make them bleed
Give me, give me the power
(Although I'm just the common breed)
You might live in a screen kiss, it's a glamorous dream
Or belong to a world that's gone, it's the English disease
But give me, give me the power
And I'll make them bleed
Give, give me, give me the power
(Although I'm just the common breed)
New Generation
I wake up every day to see her back again
Screaming my name through the astral plane
And in this catalogue town she takes me down
Down through the platinum spires
Down through the telephone wires
And we shake it around in the underground
And like a new generation rise
And like all the boys in all the cities
I take the poison, take the pity
But she and I, we soon discovered
we'd 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, losing myself to you
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
Yes it's there in the platinum spires
It's there in the telephone wires
And we spread it around to a techno sound
But like a new generation rise
Cos like all the boys in all the cities
I take the poison, take the pity
But 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, losing myself to you
This Hollywood Life
"She-rocker you're wasting your time,
Cos you're only a girl"
She'rocker sacked the factory line for a chance of a dance in a surreal world
She said, "come rescue, rescue me from this Hollywood life
come rescue, rescue me from this Hollywood life"
She'rocker hear the audience scream for the death of the king
But a hand-job is all the butchery brings
Cos fame ain't as easy as him (how sad)
Oh, come rescue, rescue me from this Hollywood life
come rescue, rescue me from this Hollywood life
Come take this Hollywood life
The 2 Of Us
Lying in my bed, I think of you
That song goes through my head, the one we both knew
In each line lies another line full of sacred sound
But you're outside where the companies dream and the money goes round
Lying in my bed.
Watching my mistakes,
I listen to the band they said that it could be the 2 of us
The snow might fall and write the lines on the silent page
But you're outside making permanent love to the nuclear age
Two silhouettes by the cash machine make a lovers dance
It's a tango for the lonely wives of the business class
Lying in my bed
Watching my mistakes
I listen to the band
Lying in my bed
With nothing much to say so I listen to the man
He said that it could be the 2 of us
I heard you call from across the city through the stereo sound
And so I crawled there sickeningly pretty as the money went round
Lying in my head watching my mistakes
I listen to the band
And the drums beat in my head
Pianos chime the sound in this prison of the house
And as the illness comes again can you hear me through the rain
As I listen to the band?
As I sing the silent song
Mime each lonely word
Please listen to the man he said that it could be the 2 of us
Alone but not lonely, you and me
Alone but loaded.........
Black or Blue
There was a girl who flew the world from a lonely shore
Through southern snow to Heathrow to understand the law
There was a boy who loved the noise of the underground
He left the coast and overdosed on that London sound
He said,
"I don't care if you're black or blue,
me and the stars stay up for you
I don't care who's wrong or right
and I don't care for the U.K. tonight so stay, stay"
And then one day she moved away from those garden walls
She left some flowers, he smoked for hours
She understood the law
I don't care if you're black or blue
Me and the stars stay up for you
I don't care who's wrong or right
And I don't care for the U.K. tonight
So stay, stay, stay, stay.........
........there was a girl who flew the world
The Asphalt World
I know a girl she walks the asphalt world
She comes to me and I supply her with Ecstasy
Sometimes we ride in a taxi to the ends of the city
Like big stars in the back seat like skeletons ever so pretty
I know a girl she walks the asphalt world
But where does she go?
And what does she do?
And how does she feel when she's next to you?
And who does she love in time-honoured fur?
Is it me or her?
I know a girl she walks the asphalt world
She's got a friend, they share mascara I pretend
Sometimes they fly from the covers to the winter of the river
For these silent stars of the cinema
It's in the blood stream, it's in the liver
I know a girl, she walks the arse felt world
But where does she go?
And what does she do?
And how does she feel when she's next to you?
And who does she love in time-honoured fur?
Is it me or is it her?
With ice in her blood
And a Dove in her head
Well how does she feel when she's in your bed?
When you're there in her arms
And there in her legs
Well I'll be in her head
Cos that's where I go
And that's what I do
And that's how it feels when the sex turns cruel
Yes both of us need her, this is the asphalt world
Still Life
This still life is all I ever do
There by the window quietly killed for you
In the glass house my insect life
Crawling the walls under electric lights
I'll go into the night, into the night
She and I into the night
Is this still life all I'm good for too?
There by the window quietly killed for you
And they drive by like insects do
They think they don't know me
They hired a car for you
To go into the night, into the night
She and I into the night
And this still life is all I ever do
There by the window quietly killed for you
And this still life is all I ever do
But it's still, still life
But it's still, still life
But it's still, still life
