THE HUSSY'S SONG LYRICS
Tiger
I was stacking up the shelves
In the stupid supermarket
When you appeared like something out the bible
In amongst the cans of peas
And part time drudgery
I found salvation in a fleeting moment
Oh love will always come and bite your backside
Like a little tiger hiding in the trees
Oh love will always come and bite your backside
Like a little spider in between the sheets
Aah (aah)
We set sail in your car
Round the car parks of the town
You were the captain of my misadventure
And then the spell wore off
I realised that you were
A bigger loser than even I was
And all the cash you spent
On anger management
You should have spent on me
Or a children's charity
Its all fluorescent light
And shiftwork through the night
It's hard to summon up enthusiasm
In amongst the frozen foods and Japanese white goods
There's a part of you that I just can't fathom
Like a little Tiger...
Do do do
We Expected
You got accepted for Cambridge Uni
Fell in love with a long haired loony
Sent me emails saying you had changed
"Priorities re-arranged!"
I was working in a petrol station
Can't say it was my life’s vocation
Wish that I could clear my tanks of grieving
Give me a card that could swipe those feelings
We expected great things from you
But you let us down
You let us down
Ooh
I sweep the floor and I shut the pumps down
I miss so much having you around town
Are you shining in debating chambers
While I’m sitting counting change for strangers?
We expected great things
We expected great things from you
You said I'd never be a real musician
And theres a part of me that’s been missing
Think you're gonna get a first class degree
And a masters in dishonesty
I think about you in your Citroen CV
I see your ghost in the closed circuit TV
And if you're home for Michaelmass
Don’t drop in if you're driving past
Yeah
We expected great things
We expected great things from you
Yeah
We expected great things from you
But you let us down
You let us down
Ooh
Warm And Fuzzy
My legs are shaking,
My heart is breaking
But in a good way
There is no bad way
You make me warm and fuzzy inside
You make me warm and fuzzy inside
Don't know if I hate you
Or maybe I love you
My left is on my right
Was easy but now I'm tied
Don't know what I'm gonna do
But I do know that I’m gonna do you
You make me warm and fuzzy inside
You make me warm and fuzzy inside
You make me warm and fuzzy inside
Don't know what I'm gonna do
But I do know that I'm gonna do you
Whoo
Snowboard
The snowy mountains look so pretty
But I'm stuck down in the city
With my head underneath the duvet
Wish you were here to make it groovy
You could take me by the hand,
To a winter's wonderland
And even though its zero degrees
You melt my soul like antifreeze
I can't touch my snowboard since you broke my heart
I can't touch my snowboard since you broke my heart
Since you broke my heart
Since you broke my heart
Your smile fades like a winter sun
You’ve taken away all my fun
For goodness sake why can't you see?
That you were made to board with me
So please take me by the hand,
To a winter's wonderland
We can start on the nursery slopes
And if I fell I think I'll cope cause
I can't touch my snowboard since you broke my heart
I can't touch my snowboard since you broke my heart
Since you broke my heart
Since you broke my heart
I can't remember the last time I smiled,
I know for sure that it’s been a while
For goodness sake why can't you see?
That you were made to hang with me
So please take me by the hand,
To a winter's wonderland
And if we fall I can handle the pain
I just want you back again cause
I can't touch my snowboard since you broke my heart
I can't touch my snowboard since you broke my heart
I can't touch my snowboard since you broke my heart
I can't touch my snowboard since you broke my heart
Since you broke my heart
Since you broke my heart
Since you broke my heart
Since you broke my heart

Rock Concert
[Haha hah]
Diesel generators and the smell of candy floss
Saw you in your silver cape
like a handsome blonde tanned ape
No no no (no no no)
I've been losing sleep since I saw you at the rock concert last week
Your boots were steeped in mud
On your cheek was a little blood
There was a drum solo in my head
But my tongue was made of lead
No No No (no no no )
I've been losing sleep since I saw you at the rock concert last week
You've got dreamy eyes
Bluer than the sky
Reach up and grab the sun
Reach up and grab the sun
We sat beside the mixing desk, you said the first song was the best
I wasn't really listening
I was half way up the stairs in my head
No no no (no no no)
I've been losing sleep since I saw you at the rock concert last week
Haha hah
You've got dreamy eyes
Bluer than the sky
Reach up and grab the sun
Reach up and grab the sun
No no no (no no no)
I've been losing sleep since I saw you at the rock concert last week
Ha ha hah
You've got dreamy eyes
Bluer than the sky
Reach up and grab the sun
Reach up and grab the sun
Friends Re-united
I was sitting in on New year's eve and my life was feeling pretty untidy,
Then my heart jumped a million beats when I saw you on Friends Reunited ....
Yes I loved you when I was at school
But I never took the chance of writing
Oh, you might just think that I was a fool
Looking up on Friends Reunited
I'll never fall in love again
This is the last time
I'll never fall in love again
Well, we met up on a Friday night
You said you would choose the boozer
And I hoped it would be all right
You wouldn't think I was the world's biggest loser
Then you said you were getting engaged
But your feelings were so divided
Now my life has turned a different page since I saw you on Friends Reunited
I'll never fall in love again
This is the last time
I'll never fall in love again
Now we're lovers and we sometimes fight,
And my life is still pretty untidy
But I bless the day I saw your name written up on Friends Reunited
Written up on Friends Reunited
I bless the day I saw your name
Written up on Friends Reunited
I bless the day I saw your name
Written up on Friends Reunited
I bless the day I saw your name
Written up on Friends Reunited
Marty
Marty, you've really pushed the envelope
If you don't come up with some fresh ideas
Then I don't know how you'd cope
Marty, you are getting on my wick
Why don't you pull yourself together and quit chewing on that brick?
You can't be heartbroken for the next century
She loved you for your Ford Fiesta, are you listening to me?
Are you listening to me?
Listening to me ?
Marty, does your head zip up the back?
Are you slipping through those cracks in your mind? (in your mind)
(in your mind) (in your mind)
Marty are you stitched into that couch?
Since she dumped you for that guy you've been such a useless grouch
Marty, quit playing with your knives
And put some opportunity into your useless life
You can't be heartbroken for the next century
She loved you for your Ford Fiesta, are you listening to me?
Are you listening to me?
Listening to me ?
Marty does your head zip up the back
Are you slipping through those cracks in your mind
(in your mind) (in your mind) (in your mind) (in your mind)
Are you listening to me?
Listening to me?
Marty does your head zip up back?
Are you slipping through those cracks in your mind? (in your mind)
(in your mind) (in your mind) (in your mind) (in your mind)
(in your mind) (in your mind) (in your mind) (in your mind)
Cheap Flowers
There goes my baby, with someone who looks a lot like me
There goes my baby, with someone who dresses just like me
I'm gonna send him (Cheap flowers from a garage)
I'm gonna send him (Cheap flowers from a garage)
I'm gonna send him (Cheap flowers from a garage)
That he sent to me
There goes my baby, with someone who's twice as dumb as me
There goes my baby, with someone who's gonna get diseased
I'm gonna send him (Cheap flowers from a garage)
I'm gonna send him (Cheap flowers from a garage)
I'm gonna send him (Cheap flowers from a garage)
That he sent to me
Every single day that you walk by
Just wait a minute don’t ask me why
You never told me that we were through
I've got no time for creeps like you
There goes my baby, with someone who looks a lot like me
I'm gonna send him (Cheap flowers from a garage)
I'm gonna send him (Cheap flowers from a garage)
I'm gonna send him (Cheap flowers from a garage)
That he sent to me
I'm gonna send him (Cheap flowers from a garage)
I'm gonna send him (Cheap flowers from a garage)
I'm gonna send him (Cheap flowers from a garage)
That he sent to me
Please Don't Call Me At Home
I'm in so much debt I'm gonna phone up the world bank
And I'm sick and tired of listening to that ancient water tank
I've had the same bedroom since I was 2 or 3
And the fact that I'm still with my parents is humiliating me
Ok I admit there was a time when they were totally cool
In the day when people all had perms
And wore shell suits into school
Please don't call me at home
Please don't call me at home
Cos my mum and dad are living in the 60s
Cos my mum and dad are living in the 60s
I've tried more degrees that that band from the 70s
And I just go from one course onto another
No I don't want a weekend in a caravan in Fife
I'd rather pull out my fingernails
Or even take my life
I don't want to call them by their first names and feel like a fool
They'll be a time of mutual respect when I make up all the rules
Please don't call me at home
Please don't call me at home
Cos my mum and dad are living in the 60s
Cos my mum and dad are living in the 60s
Please don't call me at home
(Please don’t)
Please don't call me at home
(Please don’t)
Cos my mum and dad are living in the 60s
Cos my mum and dad are living in the 60s
Cos my mum and dad are living in the 60s
Cos my mum and dad are living in the 60s
Jesus
You rattled that tin up and down the High Street
And you spent it all on porn
You ate pineapples for a week
'Cause you said you's soon be gone
When I found your Swiss bank account I knew,
I knew you were a fraud
And I kicked myself for confusing you,
Confusing you with God
Oh I still love you even though you're not Jesus,
Oh I still love you even though you're not Jesus
The light will never penetrate the darkness of your heart,
The light will never penetrate the darkness of your heart
You climbed a hill in the Lake District
'Cause you said you were going to ascend
But all that we got was the cold
And I knew it was the end
My mum and dad they kidnapped me
And saved me from your grasp
Then I realised that the search for the light
Was one big pain in the ass
Oh I still love you even though you're not Jesus,
Oh I still love you even though you're not Jesus
The light will never penetrate the darkness of your heart
The light will never penetrate the darkness of your heart
Sunday Morning
Sunday Morning makes me feel like there's a
Blank space to fill
Who knows where I've been and
Who's this with me? Whats your name I’m sorry
I can't recall a single thing about you
Do do do do la do do
Sunday Morning sunbeam streaming through your
Window, reminds me
Of a song I once knew
I heard you singing that song in your shower
I hear you resist me a magic hour
Do do do do la do do
Do la do
Do do do do la do do
Although we've had the time of our life
I wish that you were mine
I'd better get home before half past six
Before I get my backside kicked
Do do do do la do do
Ahhh
Sunday Morning makes me feel like there's a
Blank space to fill
Who knows where I've been and
Who's this with me? What's your name I’m sorry
I can't recall a single thing about you
Do do do do la do do
Do la do
I've gotta suspicion I've fallen in love
Rock Steady
She looks a little bit like Julie Christie
Got a brilliant job in I.T.
If you want her to dance to her favourite song
You just need to put 'The Liquidator' on
Listen to her music on 45s
Black mascara around her eyes
Doesn't like to drink 'cause she can't let go
Keeps it all inside where no one knows
She Only Dances To Rock Steady
She Only Dances To Rock Steady
She Only Dances To Rock Steady
She Only Dances To Rock Steady
Steady Steady Steady
She keeps the penguin book of modern verse
In a special place beside her purse
Her boyfriends Vespa keeps breaking down
You see them thumbing lifts on the edge of town
She Only Dances To Rock Steady
She Only Dances To Rock Steady
She Only Dances To Rock Steady
She Only Dances To Rock Steady
Steady Steady Steady
Stuck in a world of Comma vans
'Vox' amplifiers in Beat group bands
She likes to 'tighten up' up in a Mary Quant dress
And play her Trojan music just to bring out her best
She Only Dances To Rock Steady
She Only Dances To Rock Steady
She Only Dances To Rock Steady
She Only Dances To Rock Steady
She Only Dances To Rock Steady
She Only Dances To Rock Steady
She Only Dances To Rock Steady
She Only Dances To Rock Steady
Steady Steady Steady
She Only Dances To Rock Steady
She Only Dances To Rock Steady
She Only Dances To Rock Steady
She Only Dances To Rock Steady
She Only Dances To Rock Steady
She Only Dances To Rock Steady
She Only Dances To Rock Steady
She Only Dances To Rock Steady
She Only Dances To Rock Steady
She Only Dances To Rock Steady
She Only Dances To Rock Steady
She Only Dances To Rock Steady

Sister Mary Jo
We were helping OAPs with their wheelchairs in the snow
When she turned around to me and said that she had to go
Walked into William Hill’s, she was gone for 50 minutes
I was stranded with my shovel ..
Yes she really dropped me in it.
Oh, oh.
Sister Mary Jo, it's time you let the whole world know
That you're actually a bloke and you like to drink and smoke
Oh Sister Mary Jo are you a gangster on the run?
And if I sneak into your bed will you tell the other nuns?
She likes helping the young nuns get undressed for the baths
With a brush and a sponge tickles their backs and makes them laugh
Oh, oh
Sister Mary Jo had such a handsome Roman nose
Six foot four in stockinged soles, and she took us to the Megabowl
Oh Sister Mary Jo are you a gangster on the run?
And if I sneaked into your bed will you tell the other nuns?
She said I will make you eat oysters in the back room at the cloisters
Have you played the sausage game
God forgives you all your shame
Oh, oh
Sister Mary Jo had such a handsome Roman nose
Six foot four in stockinged soles, and she took us to the Megabowl
Oh Sister Mary Jo are you a gangster on the run?
And if I sneaked into your bed will you tell the other nuns?
Seaside Glamour
She fell in love with him last week
He picked her up in the amusement house and they kissed down on the beach
He used to DJ in Ibiza
Now he's doing Butlin's and he thinks that it impressed her
She knows he's going nowhere
Light a fag and breathes the sea air
She's not enamoured
Everybody loves a little bit of faded seaside glamour ?
What? I heard you stammer
Everybody loves a little bit of faded seaside glamour (seaside glamour)
She knows he's a temporary fix
He calls for the flow from the waves below
And shows her all his tricks
He says he left his wife last week
But the suntan line in his ring finger says he's lying through his teeth
She knows he's going nowhere
Light a fag and breathes the sea air
She's not enamoured
Everybody loves a little bit of faded seaside glamour
What? I heard you stammer
Everybody loves a little bit of faded seaside glamour (seaside glamour)
God knows she's not enamoured
Everybody loves a little bit of faded seaside glamour
She's not enamoured
Everybody loves a little bit of faded seaside glamour ? slower
What? I heard you stammer
Everybody loves a little bit of faded seaside glamour (seaside glamour)
1980s (Demo)
I quite like your smile and I quite like your stare
But there`s something about you that's just a little square
You always press the button on the pelican crossing
And those 'Nike' fashion trainers are nothing short of shocking
I hate that little diary you carry
And you're always so polite
It's as If your on safari
Your life's just one big 12" remix
Going round again with the same old tricks
And you're still stuck in the 1980s
You're still stuck in the 1980s
Oh Oh ! Oh Oh !
Singing it again like those 'Kids In America', 'Kids In America','Kids In America'
You watch 'The Breakfast Club' over and over again
And you think that Eddie Murphy is a personal friend
Dire Straits are better than The Kinks
Did nobody tell you that your CDs all stink ?
And you're still stuck in the 1980s
You're still stuck in the 1980s
Oh Oh ! Oh Oh !
Singing it again like those 'Kids In America', 'Kids In America','Kids In America'
And you're still stuck in the 1980s
You're still stuck in the 1980s
Oh Oh ! Oh Oh !
Singing it again like those 'Kids In America', 'Kids In America','Kids In America'
I quite like your smile but I don't like your hair
You'll never be around like you'll always be square
You like to use a napkin, even when you're at 'McDonalds'
You're gonna call your kids either Maggie or Ronald
And you're still stuck in the 1980s
You're still stuck in the 1980s
Oh Oh ! Oh Oh !
Singing it again like those 'Kids In America', 'Kids In America','Kids In America'
And you're still stuck in the 1980s
You're still stuck in the 1980s
Oh Oh ! Oh Oh !
Singing it again like those 'Kids In America', 'Kids In America','Kids In America'
T. Rex Records (Demo)
A yellow cassette which made Marcs voice go wonky
Summer afternoons your dad says we're donkeys
Are you listening to your T Rex records in heaven ?
We experimented in every way
And all your friends thought that you were gay
Oh funny!
Are you listening to your T Rex records in heaven ?
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh !
R.A.F. Brize Norton and all those mothers greetin
Signing bits of paper at some Whitehall meeting
I'd love to see those 'lard faced' politicians send their sons on some middle east mission
You got blown up by a 'road side device'
Saw your face on 'Reporting Scotland' at six that night
Are you listening to your T Rex records in heaven ?
You'll always remind me of the month of July
I'm still around and you wouldn't want me to cry
Are you listening to your T Rex records in heaven ?
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh !
I saw those clips from that dusty desert town
I bet you can be sure you let nobody down
I'd love to see those 'lard faced' politicians send their sons on some middle east mission
A yellow cassette that made Marcs voice go wonky
Summer afternoons your dad says we're donkeys
Are you listening to your T Rex records in heaven ?
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh !
No No
Are you listening to your T Rex records in heaven ?
Or are they cassettes ?
I can't remember
I can't remember
Does it matter ?
Are you listening to your T Rex records in heaven ?
Oh Oh Oh !
Are you listening to your T Rex records in heaven ?
The Thrill (Demo)
Gonna buy a ticket on a cheap airline today
Pack my bags and I'll be on my way
I'll miss you a little bit I guess
But I won't miss the feeling that my life's a mess
Cause I just don't get the thrill
I just don't get the thrill, anymore
I'm gonna kick off my shoes and forget about you know who
Throw those self help guides into the bin
Amateur psychology really does my head in
Cause I just don't get the thrill
I just don't get the thrill, anymore
I just don't get the thrill
I just don't get the thrill, anymore
I'm gonna kick off my shoes and forget about you know who
I still love you, but in a different way
But the time to change has just turned up today
Cause I just don't get the thrill
I just don't get the thrill, anymore
I just don't get the thrill
I just don't get the thrill, anymore
I just don't get the thrill
I just don't get the thrill, anymore
I just don't get the thrill
I just don't get the thrill, anymore
Kiss You In the Rain (Demo)
Sitting at home with a 'Dominoes' pizza
Almost on the verge of tears
One hand on the TV controller
And the other hand on a beer
Watching a show about alligators
It makes me think of you
Last Friday night you said you're leaving
Now ?
You're not so sure
I want to kiss you in the rain
I want to kiss you in the rain
Put on your cagoule and dump that fool
I wannna kiss you kiss you kiss you
In the rain
In the rain
I sat outside your house all week
And my cars full of take aways
I've never stalked anybody before
But these are desperate days
I want to kiss you in the rain
I want to kiss you in the rain
Put on your cagoule and dump that fool
I wanna kiss you kiss you kiss you
In the rain
In the rain
Time gentlemen says the pretty bartender
I can see you from the back of the bar
There's a lampost down the street from here lets go there it's not that far
I want to kiss you in the rain
I want to kiss you in the rain
Put on your cagoule and dump that fool
I wanna kiss you kiss you kiss you
In the rain
In the rain
I want to kiss you in the rain
I want to kiss you in the rain
Put on your cagoule and dump that fool
I wanna kiss you kiss you kiss you
In the rain
In the ............. rain
Rachel (Demo One)
I've felt like this for quite some time
I felt it deep inside me
But I couldn`t say...
'Cause everybody loves Rachel
I wanted to see a psychologist
I needed to state my feelings
Can't hide my inner being ...
For everybody loves Rachel
Believe me she's a bully
She tried to take my dinner money
Believe me she's a bully
Her poisoned words are coated in honey
Believe me she's a bully
And I know that I'm right, absolutely
I can't express myself anymore
'Cause everybody loves Rachel
Made a couple of phone calls
Been hiding in the shadows
Was it me that was wrong?
Or was it just my paranoia?
Even the dinner ladies
Give her extra helpings
I want to spit on her booty...
For everyone loves Rachel
Believe me she's a bully
She tried to take my dinner money
Believe me she's a bully
Her poisoned words are coated in honey
Believe me she's a bully
And I know I'm right, absolutely
I can't express myself anymore
'Cause everybody loves Rachel
I want the school to know she's a whore
'Cause everybody loves Rachel
Believe me she`s a bully
She tried to take my dinner money
Believe me she`s a bully
Her poisoned words are coated in honey
Believe me she's a bully
And I'm not being sentimental
Or maybe I'm just going mental
'Cause everybody loves Rachel
Or maybe I'm just going mental
'Cause everybody loves Rachel
I'm not sentimental
'Cause everybody loves Rachel
Maybe I'm going mental
'Cause everybody loves Rachel
Rachel (Demo Two)
I've felt like this for quite some time

'Cause everybody loves Rachel
Believe me she's a bully
She tried to take my dinner money

I don't want to be part of the scene where ...
Everybody loves Rachel
She left a good friend messed up
I can't let that pass
Confront her in the cloakrooms
Show her I can empty the trash
She's on the best of terms with all the people that really matter
I want to spit on her booty...
'Cause not everyone loves Rachel
Believe me she's a bully
She tried to take my dinner money

Poppy Day (Demo)
Tattoos on his forearms
Hiding behind his liver spots and gold watch strap
His son never visits him
Since they fell out years ago and its as simple as that
Keeps his good blazer for poppy day
Umbrella for a gun and his hairs so grey
Lost in a world of his thoughts as he turns away
Wishes that his grandkids would maybe just come for a day
Maybe his son could bury the hatchet some day
His wife had a heart attack
When his horse won the National three or four years ago
Pretends he doesn't miss her
But he always makes sure his driveway's clear of snow
Keeps his good blazer for poppy day
Umbrella for a gun and his hairs so grey
Wishes that his grandkids would maybe just come for a day
Maybe his son could bury the hatchet, what you say?
Maybe his son could bury the hatchet, what you say?
Keeps his good blazer for poppy day
Umbrella for a gun and his hairs so grey
Lost in a world of his thoughts as he turns away
Wishes that his grandkids would maybe just come for a day
Maybe his son could bury the hatchet, what you say?
Maybe his son could bury the hatchet, what you say?
Maybe his son could bury the hatchet, what you say?
Atom City Girl (Demo)
Got no time for Anna Karenin
The bus picks her up at the statue of Lennin
Oh oh oh oh
Works all day with special gloves on
It's delicate work when it`s plutonium
Oh oh oh oh
You're an atom city girl
Swimsuit queen in the snow
You're an atom city girl
We just called to let you know
You're beautiful
Beautiful
The Judges have such delicate taste
As she piles up drums of nuclear waste
Oh oh oh oh
Makes those other girls look like meat
Leave them crying in the frozen street
Oh oh oh oh
You're an atom city girl
Swimsuit queen in the snow
You're an atom city girl
We just called to let you know
You're beautiful
Beautiful
Got no time for the physics papers
The janitor says "I'll see you later"
Oh oh oh oh
Shows her pass as she clocks off
Past the guards with a Kalashnikov
Oh oh oh oh
You're an atom city girl
Swimsuit queen in the snow
You're an atom city girl
We just called to let you know
You're beautiful
Beautiful
You're an atom city girl
Swimsuit queen in the snow
You're an atom city girl
We just called to let you know
You're beautiful
Beautiful ......
Roller Disco
I'm so tired of the rush hour.
Being responsible.
I wish I could go back to when I was just a little girl.
Carrying your boots round your neck.
Never kept your fare for the train.
We always ended up phoning my dad to get us home again.
We used to spin round at the roller disco.
Liked to pretend that it was San Francisco.
So glamorous but we were just kids.
That was one of the best things that I ever did !
Oh Oh One of the best things that I ever did !
Oh Oh One of the best things that I ever did !
Oh Oh One of the best things that I ever did !
Oh Oh One of the best things that I ever did !
You always had the best moves.
I liked to watch the boys.
When I hear 2 Unlimited, man I get a little bit of joy.
We used to spin round at the roller disco.
Liked to pretend that it was San Francisco.
So glamorous but we were just kids.
That was one of the best things that I ever did !

Get that stamp on your wrist.
We can throw around some shapes.
With a set of polypropylene wheels you can lose your heartache.
We used to spin round at the roller disco.
Liked to pretend that it was San Francisco.
So glamorous but we were just kids.
That was one of the best things that I ever did !

Rachel
I've felt this for quite some time
I felt it deep down inside
But I couldn’t say
'Cause everybody loves Rachel
I wanted to see a psychologist
I wanted to state my feelings
Can’t hide my inner being
'Cause everybody loves Rachel
Believe me she's a bully
She tried to take my dinner money
Believe me she's a bully
Her poisoned words are caked in honey
I know I'm not going mental
I know she's not so sweet and gentle
I don’t want to be part of the scene where
Everybody loves Rachel
She left a good friend messed up
I couldn't let that pass
Confront her in the cloakrooms
Show her I can kick her ass
She's on the best of terms with all the people that think they matter
But I want to spit on her booty
'Cause not everybody loves Rachel
Believe me she's a bully
She tried to take my dinner money
Believe me she's a bully
Her poisoned words are caked in honey
I know I'm not going mental
I know she's not so sweet and gentle
I don’t want to be part of the scene where
Everybody loves Rachel
I don't want to be part of the scene where
Everybody loves Rachel
Believe me she's a bully
She tried to take my dinner money
Believe me she's a bully
Her poisoned words are caked in honey
I know I'm not going mental
I know she's not so sweet and gentle
I don’t want to be part of the scene where
Everybody loves Rachel
I don’t want to be part of the scene where
Everybody loves Rachel
I don’t want to be part of the scene where
Everybody loves Rachel
Poppy Day
Tattoos on his forearms
Faded behind the liver spots and gold watch strap
His son never visits him
Since they fell out years ago and its as simple as that
Keeps his good blazer for poppy day
Umbrella for a gun and his hairs so grey
Lost in a world of his thoughts as he turns away
Wishes that his grandkids could maybe just come the day
Maybe his son could bury the hatchet,what you say?
His wife had a heart attack
When his horse won the National three or four years ago
Pretends he doesn't miss her
But he always keeps his pathway clear of the winter snow
Keeps his good blazer for poppy day
Umbrella for a gun and his hairs so grey
Lost in a world of his thoughts as he turns away
Wishes that his grandkids could maybe just come for the day
Maybe his son could bury the hatchet,what you say?
Maybe his son could bury the hatchet,what you say?
Maybe his son could bury the hatchet,what you say?
Keeps his good blazer for poppy day
Umbrella for a gun and his hairs so grey
Lost in a world of his thoughts as he turns away
Wishes that his grandkids could maybe just come for the day
Maybe his son could bury the hatchet,what you say?
Maybe his son could bury the hatchet,what you say?
Maybe his son could bury the hatchet,what you say?
1980's
I quite like your smile and I quite like your stare
There`s something about you that's just a little square
You always press the button on the pelican crossing
And those Nike flash trainers are nothing short of shocking
I hate that little diary you carry
And you're always so polite
It's as If your on safari
Your life's just one big 12" remix
Going round again with the same old tricks
And you're still stuck in the 1980s
You're still stuck in the 1980s
Oh Oh ! Oh Oh !
Sing it out again like those Kids In America, Kids In America, Kids In America
You watch The Breakfast Club over and over again
And you think that Eddie Murphy is a personal friend
Dire Straits are better than The Kinks
Did nobody tell you that your CD's all stink ?
And you're still stuck in the 1980s
You're still stuck in the 1980s
Oh Oh ! Oh Oh !
Sing it out again like those Kids In America, Kids In America, Kids In America
And you're still stuck in the 1980s
You're still stuck in the 1980s
Oh Oh ! Oh Oh !
Sing it out again like those Kids In America, Kids In America, Kids In America
I quite like your smile but I don' like your hair
You'll never be a round peg, you'll always be square
I heard that you use a napkin at McDonalds
You're gonna call your kids either Maggie or Ronald
And you're still stuck in the 1980s
You'e still stuck in the 1980s
Oh Oh ! Oh Oh !
Sing it out again like those Kids In America, Kids In America, Kids In America
And you're still stuck in the 1980s
You're still stuck in the 1980s
Oh Oh ! Oh Oh !
Sing it out again like those Kids In America, Kids In America, Kids In America
Radar
I like your eyes but I prefer your lips
And when you talk to me my heart it skips
You helped me in life's changing rooms
You zipped my zip and dust me with your broom
Throw some coal onto my fire
Let's go up the wooden hill in Bedfordshire
Excuse me you were off the radar
(Excuse me)
Excuse me you were off the radar
(Excuse me)
Come to me from a different angle
Now our lives have all got tangled
Before I met you I thought I was clever
I was like a shopping trolley
At the bottom of the river
You joined my dots and coloured me in
And in a parallel universe you were my twin
Excuse me you were off the radar
(Excuse me)
Excuse me you were off the radar
(Excuse me)
Come to me from a different angle
Now our lives have all got tangled
Aah ah aah ah
Aah ah aah ah
Come to me from a different angle
Now our lives have all got tangled
Aah ah aah ah
Aah ah aah ah
Excuse me you were off the radar
(Excuse me)
Excuse me you were off the radar
(Excuse me)
Come to me from a different angle
Now our lives have all got tangled
Aah ah aah ah
Come to me from a different angle
Now our lives have all got tangled
Come to me from a different angle
Now our lives have all got tangled
Snobs
He's got no kids of his own
He decided to light up his home
A reindeer from B&Q
A little elf who lights up bright blue
He just didn't know where to stop
It's the brightest thing on the block
And the little ones coming home from school
Think it is just so cool
Snobs in the neighbourhood
Think that he's no good
Snobs in the neighbourhood
Think that he's no good
He's a favourite of Scottish Power
Uses more watts than Alton Towers
And the lights help to heal
The Pain of the tradegy back in the day
It's a monument to his five year old
Who never got well from that cold
And every year when November comes
He brings back his little son
Snobs in the neighbourhood
Think that he's no good
Snobs in the neighbourhood
Think that he's no good
Kids got a petition together
And they took it to the local mayor
Don't take another chunk out of life
Coz you know that's just not fair
He's got no kids of his own
He decided to light up his home
A reindeer from B&Q
A little elf who lights up bright blue
Snobs in the neighbourhood
Think that he's no good
Snobs in the neighbourhood
Think that he's no good
Atom City Girl
Got no time for Anna Karenina
The bus picks her up at the statue of Lenin
Oh oh oh oh
Works all day with special gloves on
It’s delicate work when it’s plutonium
Oh oh oh oh
She’s an atom city girl
Swimsuit queen in the snow
She’s an atom city girl
We just called to let you know
You’re beautiful
Beautiful
Judges have such delicate taste
But she piles up drums of nuclear waste
Oh oh oh oh
She makes those girls look like meat
And leaves them crying in the frozen street
Oh oh oh oh
She’s an atom city girl
Swimsuit queen in the snow
She’s an atom city girl
We just called to let you know
You’re beautiful
Beautiful
Got no time for a physics paper
The janitor says "I’ll see you later"
Oh oh oh oh
Shows her pass as she clocks off
As she passes the guards with Kalashnikovs
Oh oh oh oh
She’s an atom city girl
Swimsuit queen in the snow
She’s an atom city girl
We just called to let you know
You’re beautiful
Beautiful
She’s an atom city girl
Swimsuit queen in the snow
She’s an atom city girl
We just called to let you know
She’s an atom city girl
Swimsuit queen in the snow
She’s an atom city girl
We just called to let you know
You’re beautiful
Beautiful
You’re beautiful
Beautiful .......
The Thrill
Gonna buy a ticket on a cheap airline today
Pack my bags and I`ll be on my way
I`ll miss you a little bit I guess
But I won`t miss the feeling that my life's a mess
Coz I just don't get the thrill
I just don't get the thrill, anymore
I'm gonna kick off my shoes and forget about you know who
Throw those self help guides into the bin
Amateur psychology really does my head in
Coz I just don`t get the thrill
I just don`t get the thrill, anymore
I just don`t get the thrill
I just don`t get the thrill, anymore
I`m gonna kick off my shoes and forget about you know who
I still love you,but in a different way
But the time to change has just turned up today
Coz I just don't get the thrill
I just don't get the thrill, anymore
I`m gonna kick off my shoes and forget about you know who
I just don't get the thrill
I just don't get the thrill, anymore
I just don't get the thrill
I just don't get the thrill, anymore
I just don`t get the thrill
I just don`t get the thrill, anymore
Instantly Attractive (The Barbeque Song)
Fafafa Fafafa
Fafafa Fafafa
I saw you standing at the barbeque on your own
You had a light blue suit on
And it looked like you were plugged in
The way you were avoiding my gaze
It was doing something cool I must say
Something about you was just so aloof
Maybe you were just hiding the truth?
Don't mean to be rude
But you're weird attitude
Made you instantly attractive to me
Instantly attractive to me
The midges were buzzin'
I asked you what you did for a living
You muttered something under your breath
About computors or engineering
I don't know
I don't know
(Ooh Ooh Aah)
The way you were avoiding my gaze
It was doing something cool I must say
Something about you was just so aloof
Maybe you were just hiding the truth?
Don't mean to be rude
But you're weird attitude
Made you instantly attractive to me
Instantly attractive to me
Instantly attractive to me
T. Rex Records
Yellow cassette which made Marc's voice go wonky
Summer afternoons your dad said we`re donkeys
Are you listening to your T Rex records in heaven ?
We experimented in every way
And your friends thought that you were gay
So funny!
Are you listening to your T Rex records in heaven ?
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh !
R.A.F. Brize Norton and all those mothers greeting
Signing bits of paper at some Whitehall meeting
I`d love to see those lard faced politicians send their sons on some middle east mission
You got blown up by a road side device
I saw your face on Reporting Scotland that night
Are you listening to your T Rex records in heaven ?
You always remind me of the month of July
I`m still around and you wouldn`t want me to cry
No? Are you listening to your T Rex records in heaven ?
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh !
I saw those clips from that dusty desert town
I bet I can be sure that you let no one down
I`d love to see those lard faced politicians send their sons on some middle east mission
Yellow cassette that made Marc's voice go wonky
Summer afternoons your dad said we`re donkeys
Are you listening to your T Rex records in heaven ?
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Are you listening to your T Rex records in heaven ?
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Are you listening to your T Rex records in heaven ?
In heaven, in heaven, in heaven.
In heaven
In heaven
Catherine
There's a cuckoo in town
Parked itself in my nest
If there's a way to hurt me
She will do her best
Passes my name round like a bag of sweets
Pass me the sick bag she ain't such a treat
Ingratiated herself into my little world
I could see you looking at her
Saying what about this girl
Look into my eyes
You won't be hypnotised
But when you look into Kate's
You may be
Catherine you took everything from me
Destroyed my happiness
The way I walk through my life
Catherine you took everything from me
You did your very best
To make my life a misery
I saw you two in bed
You said it's not what it looks like
Kate she just smirked
She could see I was more than irked
I don't wanna patch things up
That were ripped apart
I just wanna punch her on her sorry blackened heart
Catherine you took everything from me
Destroyed my happiness
The way I walk through my life
Catherine you took everything from me
You did your very best
To make my life a misery
Didn't you? Didn't you?
Didn't you?
Didn't you? Didn't you?
Didn't you? Ooh Ooh
Catherine you took everything from me
Destroyed my happiness
The way I walk through my life
Catherine you took everything from me
You did your very best
To make my life a misery
This Must Be Love
Even the little things
Like the way you flick your hair
You do things I wouldn't dare
It leaves me dumbstruck
I've never been so distracted before
And then you bend down
To pick up the telephone book
You've got me in your hook
I can't explain it
I've never been so hung up before
This must be love
It's a feeling of sunshine
Dogged with desperation
This must be love
It's a mixture of dread
And the sweetest anticipation
This must be love
This must be love ....
You hold your hand out
To feed bread to the birds
Say a couple of words
But I'm not listening
I'm drifting somewhere miles and miles away
This must be love
It's a feeling of sunshine
Dogged with desperation
This must be love
It's a mixture of dread
And the sweetest anticipation
This must be love
This must be love
This must be love ....
I just want something
I just want something to work out .....
This must be love
It's a feeling of sunshine
Dogged with desperation
This must be love
It's a mixture of dread
And the sweetest anticipation
This must be love
This must be love
This must be love ....
Goodnight, Not The End
Grew up in a tenement
You were one plus ten
You never thought you'd become a soldiers wife
Waited on him, to come back from that war
And then you both argued about the weather
You went to Barrowlands
And danced to the jazz band
Saved up all your money for a dress
Got into the 'pictures'
With a couple of jam jars
You said your hair always looked the best
Who's to know what tomorrow brings ?
I watch for you round the bend
You waited on him, now he waits for you
It's goodnight, not the end
It's goodnight goodnight goodnight
Not the end !
It's goodnight goodnight goodnight
Not the end !
Behind the oxygen mask with trolleys whizzing past
You tried to smile at me, I was confused
Then you took my hand and said things I couldn't understand
You spent a lifetime wasting time until you're needed
Who's to know what tomorrow brings ?
I watch for you round the bend
You waited on him, now he waits for you
It's goodnight, not the end
It's goodnight goodnight goodnight
Not the end !
It's goodnight goodnight goodnight
Not the end !

The Greatest Living Actor
( Embryonic Imagined Version )
I sit here putting my make up on.
Covering the cracks.
But I will take it in my stride.
Because I know my lines.
And I will read my autocue.
And tip toe round how I feel for you ….….
Baby Baby Baby !
I’m the greatest living actor of my time.
So come up to my dressing room.
You will see the hurt I’m really in .
Do you think I’m in self denial ?
Or is it just another side of me ?
Director waves his hands around.
I’m a professional …. I can’t let them down.
And I will read my autocue.
And tip toe round how I feel for you. …..
Baby Baby Baby !
I’m the greatest living actor of my time.
So come up to my dressing room.
You will see the hurt I’m really in .
Baby Baby Baby !
I could bring a tear to Shakespear’s eye.
It’s just a matter of pretending.
It’s just another tragic ending.
Oh Woh Woh Woh !
Oh Woh Woh Woh !
Baby Baby Baby !
I’m the greatest living actor of my time.
So come up to my dressing room.
You will see the hurt I’m really in .
Baby Baby Baby !
If you knew that he was writing lines for me ?
It’s just a matter of pretending.
It’s just another tragic ending.
Oh Woh Woh Woh !
