Day Upon Day


Waiting on this empty day
It's just the same as any day
An' although I got nothing to say
I'm going to say it anyway
Day, day upon day, day upon day
Day upon day
Day, day upon day, day upon day
Day upon day
Everybody's here with me
We're in the smallest rooms you see
An' although we got nothing to do
We going to do what do I do

Inertia


Fear of being left behind
Can take you over
Suddenly you will choke
Maybe it's just a joke
I'm not sure of you

I can't hear you now
There's too much that's going around
You seem a worried fool
So don't think I'm cool
Makes me me unsure
Of you

Fear of being left alone
Can take you over
Slowly you will choke
And say it's just a joke
I'm not sure
Of you

Luminous


Don't look at me as
Your only regret what you don't see
You know more than I
So think for me
Think what your not

Ah ah ah ah

Love substitute for the
Never knew who you were
Half your life has been explained
You want the other half

Ah ah ah ah

Don't look at me as though I'm not here
Your only regret what you don't see
Half my life has been explained

Mace


Pedalling on a bicycle
I'm on my way to make a call
I try to touch you
Through the double glazing
But the curtains were drawn
The family gone away
Who is to know
But now you don't
No-one can see
When they get mace in their eyes
They're papering the walls
And the windows
No light in here
In or out
The heating's on
And I'm feeling drowsy
I fall asleep
And dream of burning down the house
I'm pedalling on a bicycle
I'm on my way to make a call
The sun is out
And I'm feeling drowsy
I fall asleep
And dream of burning down the house

Badgeman Brown


This is the voice of someone
Calling from a lonely hill
To the hard of hearing
For those who never will

A long legged someone
Seen walking away from home
Look a vacant dreamer
Walking alone alone

Ways that turn and turn
Which is what we'd learn
As suffering believers
In the book of Badgeman Brown

They're dropping like flies
In a suburban house
From a lack of anything
Anything to keep their hands in

And the town keeps screaming
From a lonely hill
Another lack of people
Those who never will

Ways that turn and turn
Which I what we'd learn
As suffering believers
In the book of Badgeman Brown

This is the voice of someone
Calling from a lonely hill
For the hard of hearing
For those who never will

The days will turn and turn
Which is what we'd learn
As average believers
In the book of Badgeman Brown

Hanging Over


I'm alive
I can breathe the air
I can hurt you
I can float up here
So soft and tingling
You can't touch me
I'm floating away

I woke up
And went down next door
I'm getting up with nothing on my mind
I went down the stairs
With a pain in my head
I should have never got out of bed

Then everything shattered
Just at the point that it mattered
Just at the point that it mattered
Aha

I'm alive I can breathe the air
I can hurt you
I can fall down there
Right into your mind
Don't put it around
You can't catch me
And carried away

I woke up, woke up every day
There is noting, nothing to say
Halfway down the stairs
I feel a pain in my chest
I should have never got out of bed

Then everything shattered
Just at the point that it mattered
Just at the point that it mattered
Aha

I'm alive, I can breathe the air
I can hurt you
Halfway down the stairs
I get a pain in my chest
I should never got out of bed

I should never ever ever
I should never.

Peach


Chemical Eats
Best part of the peach
You're always the way you are
What of that going to close you in
You got a gaping hole in your head
Id let the birds nest there instead
Aha aha aha aha

A gun in your pocket
And hair in a locket
Around your neck
From the girl you once loved
where is she now, you've gone crazy
You've got a gaping hole in your head
I'd let the birds nest there instead
Aha aha aha aha

You've got a gaping hole in your head
I'd let the birds nest there instead
I'd let the birds nest there instead
I'd let the birds nest there instead
I'd let the birds nest there instead

When The Cows Come Home


Good morning
Wake up

Wake up with purpose and polite efficiency
Stuff vitamin pills down your health guarantee
A kiss and cuddle with a lucky girl
You get fed and watered
Makes your hair curl

And when the day draws in
You put on a record
Put on something gentle
And wait for the cows to come home

Wake up a little voice says
To you eagerly
You mustn't let yourself sink financially
Don't listen to the accusation that you're tight
You could be the first man on your street to get it right

And when the day draws in
You going to go into waltz time
For once it was a good time
Wait for the cows to come home
All your life

Ha da de da da
Ha da de da da
Ha da da de da
Ha da de da da da

Wake up with purpose and polite efficiency
So you get fed and watered with good company
And when the day draws in
You go into waltz time
For once it's a good time
Wait for the cows to come home
All your life

Maggie May


Wake up Maggie
I think I've got something to say to you
It's late September
And I really should be back at school
I know I keep you amused
But I feel I'm being used
O Maggie I couldn't have tried any more

you led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart
That's what really hurts

All I needed was a friend of lend a guiding hand
You turned into my lover
And mother what a lover you wore me out
Al you do is wreck my bed
And in the morning kick me in the head
O Maggie I couldn't have tried anymore

You led me away form home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart
I couldn't leave you if I tried

I suppose I could collect my books and go back to school
Or steal my daddy's cue
And make a living out of playing pool
I'll find myself a rock n roll band
That needs a helping hand
Maggie I wish I'd never
Seen your face

You made a first class fool out of me
But I was blind as a fool can be
You stole my heart
But I love you anyway

Es Schmecht


Looking out for number oneThe conversation in the dayroom's gone
It's a brutal thought but you thought it
And in the future it'll be the same

Waltzing on an autobahnThere is cause for alarm
It's a neurotic thought but you thought it
And in the future it'll be the same

Fried


Oh you are very strange
Sometimes I think you've gone insane
Twisted hearts you've gone insane
In this giddy world
Couldn't you begin to go
Where odd lines we hardly know
Couldn't you put in a goal
Just for me

Did I say I want to know
Talking about a goal
Would you please leave me alone
Can't you see I want to be on my own

Oh I would like to give you your head
Just to see if you are dead
Oh I'd like to get into that pretty head
And it would amuse me to see
How you feel about me
How you feel about always getting fried

Did I say I wan to know
We're talking about a goal
Would you please leave me alone
Can't you see I want to be on my own
Can't you see I want to be on my own

Did I say I wan to know
We're talking about a goal
Would you please leave me alone
Can't you see I want to be on my own
Can't you see I want to be on my own

Oh I'm going to fry
Oh I'm going to fry
Oh I'm going to fry

Threadneedle Street


The time has come
Not to be cautious
He must be careful not to make mistakes
For every half hour
In twenty-four
And operations rose
Faster than they did yesterday
And the lending rates on your side
So there won't be
Much of a problem
Then past midnight
There is a rise
When everybody's asleep at home
He becomes nervous
And sees a change
Today Futures
Watch the markets from the street
In a pocket in a grey flannel suit
Read tomorrow's crash today
And check your pulse
Base metals crawled onto the kerb
And softs dropped in a summer turn
And sugar melted in the mouth
Of a rude girl
Who knew a better option
She thinks for a while
And it could be
A long time before he thinks again
And then he looks at the papers
And looks again

Got Yer !


Look at Him, Grumpy old man
You sour old bed pan
He's gone dropped his fag
He's got a fly between his ears it catches life
And buzzes in my head

It's a long time isn't it fumes of life

Who put that bleeding goose in here?
Got yer !

Theme From An Imaginary Film


What if I told you I love you
What if I called you with rhyme
In this world there's nothing that's left
Well nothing that's new

What if I told you without you
Loving is limply a lie
Although she moves into the night
O tell me your mine
Please say it's true

O shame is over
I was the light and the days of them all
Well push me over
I'm flat on my back and having a ball
And just look who's laughing

What if I flew like a dove dear
What if I would you in rhythm
There's nothing left
Nothing that's good left for me now

O I'll just go and sleep with strangers
I'll live like a lord in a tower
'Cos in the city there's too much air
That I can't dream at night
Well not anymore

O shame it's over
It been such fun and we had a ball
Well push me over
But I'll be the last of people to fall
Well just look who's laughing

O shame it's over
How like a cow bloated on grass
Well push me over
Me on my back and you on your arse
Such a shame it's all over
There are so few days left to grasp
So push me over
We on our back and you on your lazy arse
Well just look whose laughing
