I can dream up schemes when I'm sitting in my seat I don't see any flaws till I get to my feet I wish I never woke up this morning Life was easy when it was boring I could make a mark if it weren't so dark I could be replaced by any bright spark But darkness makes me fumble For a key To a door That's wide open Instead of worrying about my clothes I could be someone that nobody knows I wish I never woke up this morning Life was easy when it was boring I can dream up schemes when I'm sitting in my seat I don't see any flaws till I get to my feet I wish I never woke up this morning Life was easy when it was boringDe Do Do Do, De Da Da Da
Don't think me unkind Words are hard to find The only cheques I've left unsigned From the banks of chaos in my mind And when their eloquence escapes me Their logic ties me up and rapes me De do do do, de da da da Is all I want to say to you De do do do, de da da da Their innocence will pull me through De do do do, de da da da Is all I want to say to you De do do do, de da da da They're meaningless and all that's true Poets, priests and politicians Have words to thank for their positions Words that scream for your submission And no one's jamming their transmission 'Cos when their eloquence escapes you Their logic ties you up and rapes you De do do do, de da da da Is all I want to say to you De do do do, de da da da Their innocence will pull me through De do do do, de da da da Is all I want to say to you De do do do, de da da da They're meaningless and all that's trueDead End Job
I don't want no dead end job I don't wanna be no number I don't want no dead end job I don't wanna be no number The queue gets longer everyday I just ain't no time to stay I ain't gonna run away All I want to do is play Don't wanna be no teacher I don't wanna be no slave I don't wanna work no assembly line A' like my uncle Dave The queue gets longer everyday I just ain't got time to stay I ain't gonna run away All I wanna do is play I don't want no dead end job I don't want no dead end job I don't want no dead end job I don't want no dead end job I don't want no dead end job I don't wanna be no number I don't want no dead end job I don't wanna be no number The queue gets longer everyday All I wanna do is play I just ain't got time to stay But I ain't gonna run away Don't wanna be no millionaire Don't wanna own no mint I don't wanna be no tax exile And I don't mind being skint The queue gets longer every day I just ain't got time to stay I ain't gonna run away All I wanna do is play I don't want no dead end job I don't want no dead end job I don't want no dead end job I don't want no dead end job I don't want no dead end job I don't wanna be no number I don't want no dead end job I don't wanna be no number The queue gets longer everyday I just ain't no time to stay I ain't gonna run away All I want to do is play Don't wanna be no millionaire Don't wanna own no mint I don't wanna be no tax exile And I don't mind being skint The queue gets longer every day I just ain't got time to stay All I wanna do is play I ain't gonna run away I don't want no dead end job I don't want no dead end job I don't want no dead end job I don't want no dead end job (ad lib to fade)Deathwish
Deathwish in the fading light Headlight pointing through the night Never thought I'd see the day Playing with my life this way Gotta keep my foot right down If I had wings I'd leave the ground Buning in the outside lane People think that I'm insane The day I take a bend too fast Judgement that could be my last I'll be wiped right off the slate Don't wait up 'cause I'll be lateDemolition Man
Tied to the tracks and the train's just coming Strapped to the wing with the engine running You say that this wasn't in your plan And don't mess around with the demolition man Tied to a chair, [and] the bomb is ticking This situation was not of your picking You say that this wasn't in your plan And don't mess around with the demolition man I'm a walking nightmare, an arsenal of doom I kill conversation as I walk into the room I'm a three line whip I'm the sort of thing they ban I'm a walking disaster I'm a demolition man You come to me like a moth to the flame It's love you need but I don't play that game 'Cos you could be my greatest fan But I'm nobody's friend I'm a demolition man I'm a walking nightmare, an arsenal of doom I kill conversation as I walk into the room I'm a three line whip I'm the sort of thing they ban I'm a walking disaster I'm a demolition man Demolition man...Does Everyone Stare
I change my clothes ten times before I take you on a date I'm in a cold sweat, I panic, and it makes me late I knew you never asked for this I know My shots will always misfire My shots will always miss Does everyone stare this way at you? I only look this way at you I change my clothes ten times before I take you on a date I get the heebie-jeebies, and my panic makes me late I break into a cold sweat reaching for the phone I let it ring twice before I chicken out and decide you're not at home Does everyone stare the way I do? I only stare this way at you I never noticed the size of my feet Until I kicked you in the shins Will you ever forgive me For the shape I'm in For the shape I'm in Does everyone stare the way I do? I only stare this way at you I'm gonna write you a sonnet but I don't know where to start I'm so used to laughing at the things in my heart Last of all I'm sorry 'cos you never asked for this I can see I'm not your type and my shot will always miss Does everyone stare the way I do? I only stare this way at you Does everyone stare the way I do? I only stare this way at you Does everyone stare the way I do? I only stare this way at youDon't Stand So Close To Me
Young teacher, the subject Of schoolgirl fantasy She wants him so badly Knows what she wants to be Inside her there's longing This girl's an open page Book marking - she's so close now This girl is half his age Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me Her friends are so jealous You know how bad girls get Sometimes it's not so easy To be the teacher's pet Temptation, frustration So bad it makes him cry Wet bus stop, she's waiting His car is warm and dry Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me Loose talk in the classroom To hurt they try and try Strong words in the staffroom The accusations fly It's no use, he sees her He starts to shake and cough Just like the old man in That book by Nabakov Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to meDriven To Tears
How can you say that you're not responsible? What does it have to do with me? What is my reaction, what should it be? Confronted by this latest atrocity Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Hide my face in my hands, shame wells in my throat My comfortable existance is reduced to a shallow meaningless party Seems that when some innocent die All we can offer them is a page in a some magazine Too many cameras and not enough food 'Cause this is what we've seen Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Protest is futile, nothing seems to get through What's to become of our world, who knows what to do Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears
