Day-In Day-Out
|
|
Day-In Day-Out Stay-In Fade-Out Day-In Day-Out She was born in a handbag love left on a doorstep What she lacks is a backup nothing seems to make a dent Gonna find her some money honey try to pay her rent That's the kind of protection everyone is shouting about Day-In Day-Out Stay-In Fade-Out Day-In Day-Out First thing she learns is she's a citizen, some things they turn out right When you're under the USA something rings a bell and it's all over She's going out her way stealing for that one good rush Day-In Day-Out Stay-In Fade-Out She could use a little money she's hangin' on his arms like a cheap suit She's got no money, honey she's the other side Oh come on little baby late night, big town, police, shake down Day-In Day-Out Stay-In Fade-Out Day-In Day-Out Stay-In Fade-Out She's got a ticket to nowhere she's gonna take a train ride Nobody knows her, or knows her name she's in the pocket of a home boy Oo she's gonna take her a shotgun Pow spin the grail spin the drug She's gonna make them well aware she's an angry gal Day-In Day-Out Stay-In Fade-Out Suddenly there's angels everywhere Angels in a ton of sound And they shootin' her down Shootin her with video-drugs-bullets and promises |

Time Will Crawl
|
|
I've never sailed on a sea I would not challenge a giant I could not take on the church Time will crawl 'Til the 21st century lose I know a government man He was as blind as the moon He saw the sun in the night He took a top-gun pilot He made him fly through a hole 'Til he grew real old And he never came down He just flew 'til he burst Time will crawl 'til our mouths run dry Time will crawl 'til our feet grow small Time will crawl 'til our tails fall off Time will crawl 'til the 21st century lose I saw a black black stream Full of white eyed fish And a drowning man With no eyes at all I felt a warm warm breeze That melted metal and steel I got a bad migraine That lasted three long years And the pills that I took Made my fingers disappear Time will crawl, time will crawl Time will crawl 'Til the 21st century lose You were a talented child You came to live in our town We never bothered to scream When your mask came off We only smelt the gas As we lay down to sleep Time will crawl and our heads bowed down Time will crawl and our eyes fall out Time will crawl and the streets run red Time will crawl 'til the 21st century lose Time will crawl and our mouths run dry Time will crawl and our feet grow small Time will crawl and our tails fall off Time will crawl 'til the 21st century lose Time will crawl and our heads bowed down Time will crawl and our eyes fall out Time will crawl and the streets run red Time will crawl 'til the 21st century lose For the crazy child We'll give every life For the crackpot notion |

Beat of Your Drums
|
|
Photograph king, watches you go Fashions may change, heaven knows But you still leave a stain on me Supplement queen, your colours may fade Seasons may change, weather blows But you still leave a mark on me Wrong, negative fades Never the twain, reckless and tame I like the beat of your drum I like to look in your eyes I like to look through your things I'd like to beat on your drum I like the smell of your flesh I like the dirt that you dish I like the clothes that you wear I'd like to beat on your drum Disco brat follow the pack Watching you peel, heaven knows Prison can't hold all this greedy intention Vanity's child, picture you now Music may change, hi-di-ho, keen to follow your nose Wrong, love out of tune Sweet is the night, bright light destroys me I like the beat of your drum I like to look in your eyes I like to look through your things I'd like to beat on your drum I like the smell of your flesh I like the dirt that you dish I like the clothes that you wear I'd like to beat on your drum I'd like to beat on your drum I'd like to beat on your drum I like your face in the crowd I'd like to beat on your drum I'd like to beat on your drum I'd like to beat on your drum I'd like to blow on your horn I'd like to beat on your drum |

Never Let Me Down
|
|
When I believed in nothing I called her name Trapped in a high-dollar joint in some place I called her name And though my days are slipping by And nights so cruel I thought I'd die She danced her little dance 'till it made me cry She was shakin' like this honey doing that When I needed soul revival I called your name When I was falling to pieces I screamed in pain Your soothing hand that turned me round A love so real swept over me You danced your little dance 'till it made me cry You were shakin' like this honey doing that Never let me down She never let me down Never let me down She never let me down When all your faith is failing Call my name When you've nothing coming Call my name I'll be strong for all it takes I'll cover your head till the bad stuff breaks I'll dance my little dance till it makes you smile Shaking like this honey doing that Never let you down I'll never let you down I'll never let you down I'll never let you down |

Zeroes

|
(Ladies and Gentlemen Tonight, yes, the Zeroes will be singing for you!) Yeah Yeah You've arrived in the land of a thousand different names And the fabulous sons have crashed their planes in flames Now tomorrow's back claiming redemption is on your heels And a toothless past is asking you how it feels And me my little red Corvette has driven by My fair weather heart has fallen in My rainy day girl is feeling down And she tells me that the world is spinning round I say the dream was all for you You're nobody else Tonight the Zeroes were singing for you Yeah Yeah Yeah Hi, can I walk you home again today Gotta get forgive and forget, hey-hey Something good is happening I don't know what it is Don't you know we're back on trial again today And it's breaking wine for you Hell it's only 'cause you're true Someone outtimed my heart Stopping and preaching and letting love in You are my moon, you are my sun Heaven knows what you are Tonight the Zeroes are singing for you Yes they were Tonight the Zeroes were singing for you Tonight the Zeroes were singing for you Doesn't matter what you try to do Doesn't matter what you try to do Doesn't matter where you try to go Doesn't matter who we really are |

Glass Spider
|
|
Up until one century ago there lived, In the Zi Duang provence of eastern country A glass-like spider. Having devoured its prey it would drape the skeletons over its web, In weeks creating a macabre Shrine of remains Its web was also unique in that it had many layers, Like floors in a building At the top of this palace-like place, assembled with almost apparent Care, were tiny, shining objects, glass, beads, dew-drops. One could almost call it an altar. When the breeze blew through this construction, It produced sounds of wailing, crying. Tiny wails, tiny cries. The baby spiders would get scared and search frantically For their mother. But the Glass Spider would have long gone, having known that the babies Would survive someone on their own. Oh-The Glass Spider had blue eyes almost like-a human's. They shed tears at the wintered turn of the centuries. Don't you hear this wasted cry, Life is over you (Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone) But you've seen who's in heaven. Is there anyone in hell (Mummy come back 'cause it's dark now) Take care, take care. (Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone) Somewhere she glows divine. Somewhere she wakes alone. But you, you've promise in your lovin' eye. God it's dark now. Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Gone, Gone the water's all gone Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone Stay low on the ground, fire can drive you, savage and afraid Spitting the dawn, come come come along before the animals awake Run, run, we've been moving all night, rivers to the left. If your mother don't love you then the riverbed might Gone, gone, the water's all gone Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Gone gone the water's all gone Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone |

Shining Star (Makin' My Love)

Eddie boy lit like paraffin spending two weeks in a crack house Burns on his brain like Chernobyl Dean was seen with a two bag purchase He was lying dead on his mother's bed Someone for pray for till I met you Life is like a broken arrow memory a swingin' door I could be your great misfortune I can make you happy every day of your life Making my love like a shining star takin' my love just a touch too far Tessie turns tricks with a soul like ice cause love left holes And four swell kids breaking her heart I've got windows, I've seen much vice I've touched down with vermin Cowardice, lice And I say Nobody cares what you do please be yourself to death I could be your great misfortune But you'll never find a, bet you'll never find a better man Making my love like a shining star Taking my love just a touch too far Peter met Frank formed a dummy run gang Worked heist or hit for 10 g's flat Blew heads outta shape for the name of Trotsky, Sinn Fein, Hitler cashdown No hope heroes cover the page with debts in hell And fingers in blood Poor little bodies all covered in scabs threw it all away Another life in the grave Another life in the grave Life is like a broken arrow memory a swingin' door I could be your great misfortune Well I could make you happy every goddamn single day of your life Making my love like a shining star Like a shining star Baby that's what you are Like a shining star Making my love like a shining star Taking my love Just a touch too far |

New York's in Love
|
|
Do you see that thing I'm sure it's love Would you do one thing New York's in love The city grew wings in the back of the night The clouds are stuck like candy-floss She sees the rich trash having all the fun Makes her wonder where they get the energy from There's nothing you can do to her This city's all clean and waiting I don't mean to wait too long But this joint can't get much higher New York's in love With her big green eyes And her long blonde hair New York's in flames New York's in love With the way she talks And the way she walks New York's in love Goo Goo Goo Goo Goo Goo My, oh my, it's a tom-tom beat No-one knows they've had their day We can dance and we can see the singles swing Everybody's waiting for the Go-Go Boys You're turned to stone by the family It's now the dead speak to the living Nothing left here but a raging blaze I don't mean to wait too long New York's in love With her big green eyes And her long blonde hair New York's in flames New York's in love With the way she talks And the way she walks New York's in love Goo Goo Goo Goo Goo Goo |

'87 and Cry
|
|
It's just a one dollar secret A lover's secrets in the UK Torn apart in the UK In the dribble of May-Day '87 and Cry '87 and Cry And there's nothing inside And there's nothing in mind And only you Rocket on thru the sky It couldn't be done without dogs It couldn't be once without us '87 and Cry '87 and Cry When the days were the days were the days boys When blue ties were for the biggy guys Frannie dressing down for the enemy You saw him hangin' on the enemy And there's no one in love And there's nowhere to scream And only you Race on to wonder where It couldn't be done without dogs It couldn't be once without us '87 and Cry '87 and Cry You can't make love with money You can't make mistakes with babies Nothing looked good on you That's how I liked you best Now you're ready for the real McCoy Deep in the heart of Cupid Murders on the heels of love Just the ghost of a story Just a one dollar secret Baby these were the sounds Baby these were the sounds And only you Whisper these things aren't true It couldn't be done with dogs It couldn't be once without us '87 and Cry '87 and Cry |

Too Dizzy
|

There's too much talking for a night drive Too much mist in front of my eyes I'm trying not to lose control But you're just pushin' for a fight You look trapped, turn the radio on Too much smoke, air conditioning gone But I'm helpless in love with you But you're just looking , looking for a break Is it love or is it what Who's this guy I'm gonna blow away What kind of love is he giving you I'm-a-dizzy's what I'm trying to say Too dizzy, you can't have a lover Too dizzy, it's me and no other I'm a bad loser, I'm-a-shakin' in anger Too dizzy, you can't have no lover You can go on dreaming every night But I'm not letting you out of my sight I'm-a-ten times the man than any guy around But you're just itchin'-twitchin'-itchin' for a break There's too much talking for a night drive Too much mist in front of my eyes But I'm helpless in love with you But you're just looking for a break Is it love or is it what Who's this guy I'm gonna blow away What kind of love is he giving you I'm-a-dizzy's what I'm trying to say Too dizzy, you can't have a lover Too dizzy, it's me and no other I'm a bad loser, I'm-a-shakin' in anger Too dizzy, you can't have no lover Don't come any harder Don't come any closer |

Wow this ain't the right thing to do so let's go Young girls they know what they're after Young girls don't kiss me goodbye Rockets shooting up into space Buildings they rise to the skies Bang Bang I got mine Bang Bang reach for the sky I keep a good friend on videotape He'll drive his sports car until it's too late But we'll have a hot time on the town tonight Cause love is my bet and it's the best yet Bang Bang I got mine Bang Bang sun don't shine Bang Bang you all angels Bang Bang now you all ought to be in pictures Oh girl Oh girl my problems can't follow me Phone calls I take my machine I wander lonely to the sea Lonely-Ha Ha-what does it mean Bang Bang I got mine Bang Bang and you are next in line Bang Bang reach for the sky Bang Bang sun don't shine Rise buildings Rise to the sky Young girls they know what they're after I said, young girls don't kiss me goodbye |
