song 2

wha whoo

i got my head checked
by a jumbo jet
it wasn't easy
but nothing is, no

wha whoo
when i feel heavy metal wha whoo
and i'm pins and i'm needles wha whoo
well i lie and i'm easy
all of the time but i'm never sure why i need you
pleased to meet you

i got my head done
when i was young
it's not my problem

beetlebum

beetlebum
what you've done
she's a gun
now what you've done
beetlebum
get nothing done
you beetlebum just get numb
now what you've done
beetlebum


and when she lets me slip away
she turns me on all my violence is gone
nothing is wrong
i just slip away and i am gone
nothing is wrong
she turns me on
i just slip away and i am gone

beetlebum
because you're young
she's a gun
now what you've done
beetlebum
she'll suck your thumb
she'll make you come
coz, she's your gun
now what you've done
beetlebum

and when she lets me slip away
she turns me on all my violence is gone
nothing is wrong
she turns me on
i just slip away and i'm gone

the universal

this is the next century
where the universal's free
you can find it anywhere
yes, the future's been sold
every night we're gone
and to karaoke songs
how we like to sing along
'though the words are wrong

it really, really, really could happen
yes, it really, really, really could happen
when the days they seem to fall through you
well, just let them go

no-one here is alone
satellite's in every home
yes, the universal's here
here for everyone
every paper that you read
says tomorrow's your lucky day
well, here's your lucky day

it really, really, really could happen
yes, it really, really, really could happen
if the days they seem to fall through you
well, just let them go

coffee & tv

do you feel like a chain store?
practically floored
one of many zeros
kicked around bored
your ears are full but your empty
holding out your heart
to people who never really
care how you are

so give me coffee and tv
peacefully
i've seen so much
i'm goin blind
and i'm braindead virtually
sociability
it's hard enough for me
take me away form this big bad world
and agree to marry me
so we can start all over again

do you go to the country
it isn't very far
there's people there who will hurt you
cos of who you are

your ears are full of the language
there's wisdom there you're sure
'til the words start slurring
and you can't find the door

so give me coffee and tv
peacefully
i've seen so much
i'm goin blind
and i'm braindead virtually
sociability
it's hard enough for me
take me away form this big bad world
and agree to marry me
so we can start all over again

so give me coffee and tv
peacefully
i've seen so much
i'm goin blind
and i'm braindead virtually
sociability
it's hard enough for me
take me away from this big bad world
and agree to marry me
so we can start all over again

oh...we could start over again

parklife

confidence is a preference for the habitual voyeur of what is known as (parklife)
and morning soup can be avoided if you take a route straight through what is known as (parklife)
john's got brewers droop he gets intimidated by the dirty pigeons they love a bit of it (parklife)
who's that gut lord marching... you should cut down on your porklife mate... get some exercise

(chorus)
all the people
so many people
they all go hand in hand
hand in hand through their parklife

know what i mean
i get up when i want except on wednesdays when i get rudely awakened by the dustmen (parklife)
i put my trousers on, have a cup of tea and i think about leaving the house (parklife)
i feed the pigeons i sometimes feed the sparrows too
it gives me a sense of enormous well being (parklife)
and then i'm happy for the rest of the day safe in the knowledge
there will always be a bit of my heart devoted to it (parklife)

(chorus)

parklife (parklife)
parklife (parklife)

it's got nothing to do with vorsprung durch technic you know
and it's not about you joggers who go round and round and round
parklife (parklife)

girls & boys

street's like a jungle
so call the police
following the herd
down to greece
on holiday -
love in the 90's
is paranoid
on sunny beaches
take your chances looking for

(chorus)
girls who are boys
who like boys to be girls
who do boys like they're girls
who do girls like they're boys
always should be someone you really love

avoiding all work
because there's none available
like battery thinkers
count your thoughts on 1 2 3 4 5 fingers
nothing is wasted
only reproduced
get nasty blisters
du bist sehr schon
but we haven't been introduced

(chorus)
girls who are boys
who like boys to be girls
who do boys like they're girls
who do girls like they're boys
always should be someone you really love

country house

(so the story begins)
city dweller
successful fella
thought to himself:
"oops, i've got a lot of money
caught in a rat race
terminally
i'm a professional cynic
but my heart's not in it
i'm paying the price of living life at the limit
caught up in the century's anxiety"
yes, it preys on him
he's getting thin
(try the simple life)

he lives in a house
a very big house
in the country
watching afternoon repeats
and the food he eats
in the country
he takes all manner of pills
and piles up analyst bills
in the country
oh, it's like an animal farm
that's the rural charm
in the country

he's got morning glory and life's a different story
everything's going jackanory
touched with his own mortality
he's reading balzac, knocking back prozac
it's a helping hand that makes you feel wonderfully bland
oh, it's a century's remedy
for the faint at heart
a new start
(try the simple life)

he lives in a house
a very big house
in the country
he's got a fog in his chest
so he needs a lot of rest
in the country
he doesn't drink, smoke, laugh
takes herbal baths
in the country
you should come to no harm
on the animal farm
in the country
(blow, blow me out, i am so sad, i don't know why)

tender

tender is the night
lying by your side

out of time

where's the love song to set us free
too many people down, everything turning the wrong way round

and i don't know what love will be
but if we stop dreaming now, lord know we'll never clear the clouds

and you've been so busy lately
that you haven't found the time
to open up your mind

and watch the world spinning gently out of time

feel the sunshine on your face
it's in a computer now
gone are the future way out in space

and you've been so busy lately
that you haven't found the time
to open up your mind
and watch the world spinning gently out of time


and you've been so busy lately
that you haven't found the time
to open up your mind
and watch the world spinning gently out of time
tell me i'm not dreaming
but are we out of time
(we're) out of time

sing

i can't feel
i am numb
i cant feel
so whats the worth
in all of this
sing to me
so whats the worth in all of this
if the child in your head
if the child is dead
sing to me
