1. I cried alone at night

Cried so many tears

I made my clothes shrink at least one size

And left alone I tried

To make you disappear

But I could only put you in disguise

Ooh - falling for you

Was such a disgrace

That I ever let you have my number

Take your pretty face

Far enough away to mend my blunder

I won't let you take me under

I'll get over you - over you

2. I used to see your face in every pretty thing

I saw inside a fashion magazine

But now I sit and wonder

How I very nearly had a

Narrower than narrow escape

Ooh - I'm just passing through

A smile on my face

I don't need to stretch to see tomorrow

Finding my space

Where I don't need to beg, to fee me

You're outside my head, believe me

Cos I'm over you - over you

Break: How does it feel

When you look in my direction

A little unreal?

Now you're a total disconnection

1. I'm trying to cross the river somehow

But if I walked on water

Would you ask if I could fly around

If I was top of the pile

Would you tell me I'd get caught up

If I didn't climb a little higher?

And you're surprised

When I put rings around my eyes

And get my hair coloured blue

You say you understand

But there's a better chance

Of finding rocking horse poo

That's why I'm telling you

Ch: I guess I'm gonna stay in bed

My pillow wrapped around my head

I'm never coming out - NO!

Look but you won't find

Cos I've locked me in my mind

And I've kissed you goodnight

No I'm never coming out

I met a boy without a roof on his car

But you said he was just

A tosser in a Jaguar

Now tell me who was taking who for a ride

You got a driver but it won't go

More than two hundred yards

So if I'm riding with the wind in my hair

It's only so I can feel it

And if I hide inside my rock and roll head

It's cos you never believe it - so

Ch: I guess I'm gonna stay in bed

My pillow wrapped around my head

I'm never coming out - NO!

Look but you won't find

Cos I've locked me in my mind

And I've kissed you goodnight

No I'm never coming out

My oh my

How sad am I

Oh - she wouldn't stay

Why did she run away?

Ch: I guess I'm gonna stay in bed

My pillow wrapped around my head

I'm never coming out - NO!

Look but you won't find

Cos I've locked me in my mind

And I've kissed you goodnight

No I'm never coming out

Never coming out now - no

Never coming out……

Hear this….

1. Rap? I was rapped in '72

Caught in possession of riffs that could run you through

Even made my ace of spades stand to attention

And those were the days when jeans and

Money were too tight to mention

Now you-re talking about your g-g-g-generation

Like it's the eighth wonder - a revelation

Telling me it's primitive, it's not derivative

But the point is who's fooling who?

When you talk about your new skank

Handbag, punk, funk, Jamaican skunk

And that 2 beat groove

Hell, I could play the Stairway to Heaven solo when you were two!

Now I'm supposed to be fazed and outraged

When I hear that M&M chap

Well I can say shit, ass, dick and balls too

You f***ing twat

So don't take the piss and diss me

Show me some respect and miss me

Tell me you need to be young and black to rap?

Well, I'm nearly 50 and fat so screw that!

Ch:

Don't believe me when I say

Your future's my yesterday

(And) don't look back cos it's gone

You ask me what I know

I know this much for sure

You can't hope to die before you get…

2. Hey, used to be I was a sex machine too

Before you turned me into the not-so-lean money machine that feeds you

Hay maker to the piss-taking generation easy A‑grading

Sex and tex-mexed, disaffected, injected, pre‑selected and perfected

You gotta new record - I broke it

Gotta new pipe - I smoked it

Got wood - I solid-oaked it

So tell me when you can buy what you can afford like me

Don't need to drive a Ford like me

Walk, talk and pork the sword like me

Play off 24 like me

And don't try to appease my heebie jeebies

With the Micky D's freebies and MTV's

Wake up and smell the coffee, read the tea leaves

Ch:

Don't believe me when I say

Your future's my yesterday

(And) don't look back cos it's gone

You ask me what I know

I know this much for sure

You can't hope to die before you get…

Break: Hey you all telling me this, telling me that

Telling me cramming a lot of words

Into a sentence is where it's at

Can't make up my mind if it's you talking

Or the last of the six pack

What's that? Gangsta rap, Biggy and Tupac?

And something about female dogs getting smacked?

Well I don't need to be a mother f***ing nigger

To be bigger and Biggy ain't bigger than my gig

Hey, is it a bird, is it a plane

Is it Tupac and Big?

No it's P……p……Porky pig!

3. I see you watching Ozzy on the MTV

You want money for nothing but chicks and nothing come free

And Ozzy doesn't bite bats no more and try to kill himself

And Alice's dead babies have grown up

Just like you - taking things off my shelf

And me, I don't smoke, I only mow grass

Row fast, blow my abs out

Wrestling with my jeans trying to get my ass out

And your crazy momma still thinks I look like Mr Bond

[Must be some mistake - no, bounce off my rocket, tu comprend]

You want me to fill - your bucket

You can't get a girl - get lucky

You think I'm a complete - muppet

You want more money - f**k it

I was playing with my gun

Trying to get my head undone

Going up and over and down

When I should be turning round

Goodbye to Mambo

Goodbye to Hollywood

Goodbye to Kokomo

There goes the neighbourhood - now

I'm drinking from 9-5

Can't stop at that drinking sign

Switch on to overload

I can see the grass grow

Where everything looks so fine

Where everything's mine mine mine

Turned on to everything

Else but there's one little thing

I can't stand myself

[I'm such a dick]

I can't stand myself

[I'm screwing up big]

Can I leave me on your shelf?

[On your shelf]

I can't stand myself

1. There's an animal that's hard to describe

It's got fur and it's got perfect teeth and blue eyes

And it's got chemicals with complicated names

That travel up my nose and down to my thighs

I'd like to stroke it up and down

But it's blue eyes are looking round

For bigger mammals who've got horns and facial hair

Where does your thirst go

With no place at the watering hole

When all you wanted was to drink there?

Here in animal town

Go near the water and you might drown

Here in animal town

Every day I get up

Feel like I'm ripped up in pieces

Like I'm lucky to get out alive

Ground to Kirk "beam me up"

Make me an alien species

I wanna be an animal now

2. There's a mineral that's hard to describe

It gives you fur and gives you horns

And gives you facial hair

Now I'm an animal cos it's just arrived

And I can roar and give the other mammals facial scares

And watch those perfect teeth and fur and legs and blue eyes

Sparkle by the water's edge under the moonlight

And let our chemicals decide on

If we walk or if we ride on

My white patches or your stripes?

Here in animal town

We're in the water but we won't drown

Here in animal town

Now every day I get up

With all the bits and the pieces

If you let me I can show you how

Kirk to bridge "beam me up"

Looks like an alien species

Has turned into an animal now

Break

Animal town

Little animals fall down

Animal town

Here in animal town

I'm just an animal now

I'm a beast with a horn

Not like a pig or a cow

I'm just an animal now

Here in animal town

Look, we're just animals now

Going at it just like rabbits in my house

We're just animals now

Here in animal town

Anmut sparet nicht noch Muehe

Leidenschaft nicht noch Verstand

Dass ein gutes Deutschland bluehe

Wie ein andres gutes Land

Dass die Voelker nicht erbleichen

Sondern ihre Haende reichen

Von der see bis zum Rhein

Von der see bis zum Rhein

Von der see bis zum Rhein

Und weil wir dies Land verbessern

Lieben und beschirmen wir's

Und das liebste mag's uns scheinen

So wie andern Voelkern ihrs

Dass die Voelker nicht erbleichen

Sondern ihre Haende reichen

Von der see bis zum Rhein

Von der see bis zum Rhein

Von der see bis zum Rhein

1. My girl says no one compares

The bare essentials can't compete

And I refresh the parts

That even hair extensions never reach

Love can stretch like underwear

And I would bet my life

We'll be together longer

Than the whole of the M25

And if I kiss you and I cry

You're sweet as apple pie

My burger and my fries

My Bonnie and my Clyde

My front and my behind

I'm the seven dwarfs

And you're my Snow White

2. Mummy mummy I'm so worried

She goes rushing to her arms

He just told me we should do

What animals do on the farm

Like the horses and the cows

Little piggies that grunt and howl

And some other things

I can't do now I've stopped ballet

(Mummy I can't bend that way)

2. Oh my darling Clementine

Taken by surprise

Love can be so blind

Never mind

It's your birthday in July

To Disneyland we'll fly

And bugger seven dwarfs from behind

1. You learn to run, you learn to crawl

Grab the moment by the balls

I want my horse I want my gun I want I want it all now

I'm looking for the ammunition

But I can't find anything with double vision

I was good, I kow-towed

But they never let me out

Now I can recall my number

So I need chemical desire

To get up so I'm high enough

To see the other side - if I can't, how can I work it out now?

Created, degraded - I just got confiscated

Invaded, tolerated - show me the price price I paid it

Educated - what a bloody waste

I'm a clear and present danger to myself

2. [God] I never thought I'd come to this

Even my dog can take the piss

I could see it from a hundred miles away

But I still stepped in it

Now I wanna get out where I came in

Not the 5th dimension you're living in

Where you sing and shout

But you never go out

Cos you don't want to lose what you've never found

So I'm a naked man

I'm in a naked land

I'd take your naked hand

But I don't wanna walk

With the naked and the dead

Created, degraded - I just got confiscated

Invaded, tolerated - show me the price price I paid it

Educated - what a bloody waste

I'm a clear and present danger to myself

1. This and that, they must be the same

What is legal and what is real

What I'm given to understand

Is exactly what I steal

I wormed my way into the heart of the crowd

I worked my way into the heart of the crowd

I was shocked to find what was allowed

I didn't lose myself in the crowd

Shot by both sides

On the run to the outside of everything

Shot by both sides

They must have come

To a secret understanding

2. New offences always in my nerves

They'll be taking my time by force

They all sound the same when they scream

As a matter of course

I wormed my way into the heart of the crowd

I worked my way into the heart of the crowd

I was shocked to find what was allowed

I didn't lose myself in the crowd

Shot by both sides

On the run to the outside of everything

Shot by both sides

They must have come

To a secret understanding

3. Why are you so edgy, kid?

Asks the man with the voice

One thing follows another

You live, you learn

You have no choice

I wormed my way into the heart of the crowd

I worked my way into the heart of the crowd

I was shocked to find what was allowed

I didn't lose myself in the crowd

Shot by both sides

On the run to the outside of everything

Shot by both sides

They must have come

To a secret understanding
