The seven deadly sins
We find them all and burst
Where degenerate kings pushy beggars
Fallen ladies of letters and verse
Pride, lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath and envy
It's all in a hard days work for me
And I, I pay no mind
And I pay no mind
To a name that you will employ me
I despise all their kind
Jump search and destroy me
Hand me my gun
My friend we'll have some fun
We'll shoot down ...
down in Albion
they're black and blue
but we don't talk about that

leaves on the lawn
violence in dole queue
and pale thin girl with eyes forlorn

I know, I don't know you
But don't think I don't know you
I saw you going under
I saved one for me
'Cause I'm all at sea lad
Don't know if I'm coming or going
There's no thorn, North Star, cannot, poison talk
It belongs to me
I only wanna
Oh, I just wanna
Oh, I don't want anything, means to the world to me
Well, I'm all at sea dad

Roll a gasper
The guard said he could stay alive
But he has to shovel and burn his friends to die
People do die and on the gate read
'Arbeit macht frei'
In her rollers and a gasper
She's cleaning the steps in the mean street
Where no policeman walks the beat
Her old man, he don't like blacks or queers
Yet he's proud he beat the Nazis, how queer?

Your love it was only a whisp away
You scratch my hand and say theres a better land
Well I know your daddy hes not rich
And your mothers a drunk
But your the one 'I worship and adore'
Always want to lay me down you know
It smells like Bangkok in china town
Did you get your pound of flesh today
Well ive got a lotta learn
To learn about your past
Its a mean unpleasant land
Sometimes you cccome i...
All animals we are
Round the bench in the park
Your sisters in the dark today
Watery pinned eyes
My soul has gone a little cold
I maybe maybe next year
If it isn't to dear
We'll get ourself some good time girls
Remember when you pay
You'll pay in many many ways
And he's crossing the road
To get his daily sport
Oh now they're begging you
They're begging you
What will you do?
Oh Lord they're beg...
I'll never really understand
why I believe you,
you're so sly and underhand
I think I'll leave you now
with everything I stole since we met
Stole no kisses just some books
and a butterfly net
oh it's raining
now it's sunny
oh well you've scupered all my best laid plans
I plan to leave you
just as soon as I slip it
right out of hand
I can't believe you listed

You're walkin' like you never seen the light
Since you're walkin' like it every night
But I've never seen you dance
And I've never heard you sing
So how can it mean a single thing?
It is all so rudimentary
You're talkin' like your handy in the fight
You talk about it every night
But I've never seen those flowers
In the barrel of a gun
All I've ever seen you do is run
It is all so rudimentary

There's a campaign of hate
It's waiting at the school gates
Not for what I am aware
Must be what you wrote
What you write, mmm
You swore that you'd swear
To remember why you came
Not to play follow the leader, no no
Poor kids dressin' like they're rich, mods
Rich kids dressin' like they're poor
Oh My god, white kids talkin' like they're black
I tried it with Charlene and I spent three days on ...
An ending fitting for the start
You twist and tore our love apart
Your light fingers through the dark
Shattered the lamp, into darkness it cast us all
No, you've got it the wrong way round
You shut me up and blamed it on the brown
Cornered the boy, kicked out at the world
The world kicked back a lot f***in' harder now
If you wanna try, if you wanna try
There's no worse you could do, oh oh oh
I...
An ending, fitting for the start.
You twisted'n'tore our love apart.
Your life, fingers through the dark.
Shattered the lamp, into darkness it cast us.
You know you've got it the wrong way round
You shut me up, and blamed it on the brown
cornered the boy, kicked out at the world
The world kicked back a lot Fking harder now
If you wanna try
If you wanna try
theres no worse you could do
Uh uh oh...
What you try to do to me?
It seems to come so naturally
How you annoy me
How you destroy me
And everywhere I'm walking like a cyclone
But don't mind me
How's it fair, I'm a magnet for psychos
And pretty riddles keen on me
You can lightly sling
Into my open heavy loving heart
First touch and kissy, kissy
Slash back razor days
The boys not to behave
Oh, they're like hoodlums
Sick of themselves
A...
From way far across the sea
Came an Eritrean maiden she
Had a one track mind and eyes funny
Half blinded in a war
With a pale young Anglican
Who said he'd help her all he can
Showed her Jesus and his little unholy friend
She had no notion to please him
Just say ta ra and leave him behind
A little boy in a stairwell who says
"I hate people like you"
I got match sticks and cable TV
Half of less ...
My love wrote the words to the saddest songs
The songs that says that life's too long
And the moon is always blue and just because
I wish you'd sing me those other songs again?
The songs that say life's worth the worry and the pain
And the sun smiles through the rain, just because
Just because she's the sweetest girl
Sweetest girl in the world
She's my moral guide, oh, she does nothing at all
...
Do you know me? I don't think so
Do you know me? I don't think so
You romanticize the dark and gloomy past
Trying to escape from the underclass
You darkened the bright and beautiful day
You're breaking my heart in every way
And tell me everything is dandy and fine
You're no friend of mine
I took you in and you stole from me
But you still got everything I need
You're walking so tall, you're loo...
Ahh, don't be shy
Don't be shy
For if you are shy for tomorrow
You'll be shy for
One thousand days, yea
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Don't be shy
Don't be shy
Don't let the tide of your soul
Drown your nights
And flood your days
Aey, aey, aey, hey, aey, aey, hey
But still it's better to be shy
Than stinkin' drunken old Queen
That's always got to have his way
But don't be coy with me
I'm too clever to fo...
Don't look back into the sun
Now you know that your time has come
And they said it would never come for you
Oh my friend you haven't changed
Your're looking rough and living strange
I know you got a taste for it too
And they'll never forgive you but they wont let you go, oh no
She'll never forgive you but she won't let you go, oh no
Don't look back into the sun
Where you've cast your plans and...
I'm running away with you,
That's all I ever do,
And that's all we ever mean,
But I forgive you everything...
Meet me at the railroad bar,
About seven o'clock,
We talk while the sun goes down,
Watch the lovers leaving town...
Chorus This is for lovers, running away
This is for lovers running away, just for today
I'm running away with you,
From yesterdays news,
Lets leave it all behind,
Help me...
The ideal girl, in London from France
Came over then left me, she left me entranced
Now I have to get by once again on my own
Nothing but memories
So I remember your eyes, that unique shade of brown
While these blue eyes of mine, they stay closed
I kissed you goodbye on the M-109
I choked as I watched the bus go, oh, oh
Choking and smoking to your angelic soul
Choking and smoking myself into a...
I got 'round to singing 'bout
this gang of gin I'm in
then you'll know most certainly
the kind of game i'm in
just talking 'bout
just slinging 'bout
the gang of gin, I'm rollin' in, oh
then you'll know, the kind of state I'm in
who will buy my beautfil roses
who will buy my beautiful so-ong
who will buy my beautfil roses
who will buy my beautiful so-ong
oh in a nutshell

Well life is short
We spend all our time
Just f***ing fighting my friend
Well a soul can't be bought
Not with a cheap rhyme
And I know that when I die
I'm gonna go down with the general
Up with the general smuts
Well I've been stuck in a hole
And it's dark down here
Every time I've thought I've seen the light
Well it just fades and disappears
Just fades and disappears
Just fades and disappears...
If you get tired
Of just hanging around
Pick up a guitar
And spin a web of sound
And then you could be
Strung out all day
With lovers and clowns
Now I find myself
Hanging around
It's been a long war
We're tired and dirty
Still not dirty enough for you
Well, I've been thieving
I stole the light from the dawn
But if you come around this ledge
You should never been born
Oh, tell me you can see me...
I've been following
Your mind's instructions
Oh how just to slowly
Sharply screw myself to death
Ah yes, there is a screw
It's pointed at my head
Then look a dream peddlar
And a stick of light through my bones
Don't get on the wrong one
Oi you and you what's your game
Laying me down to waste laying me down
Pin me up or put me down
Uh, uh, uh, uh, oh
Now let it all go
It's a horror show

You caught me in the middle dazed on the carpet
I was following the lines that move like more snakes thinking
Something ain't quite right
You got the devil on your side, standing to your right come on
You caught me in the middle dazed and confused
I was following the good steps fancy free and footloose
Something ain't quite right
You got the devil on your side, standing to your right come on, ...
Well I got sweets
and I got treats
i got gold winged sandals
and theyre just flying off my feet
When that ghost ship towing down

Well I ain't got no big fancy house

I don't take my holidays in Polynesior
but everywhere I ever go

Oh somehow you'll know

As I played the last post on the bugle

Oh that boy's no different today
Except in every single way
If I have to go

You just know

I have a secret for you
I've been told if you want to make it in this game
Got to have the luck
You got to have the look
To make what
I quite like to make it through the night
My heart beats slow fast, I don't feel right
With a slight of hand
I might die
What about you over there?
Well, don't you think I care?
Well I know you know
I know you know I know
And to the man who would be king

A slave's a girl who slaves her days away
In arabesques and minarettes

Mockingbird was squeaking bird, squeaking all night long
I tried for the money and I just wasn't able had two more drinks and then
I slipped under the table and she mocked me all night long

Is it cruel or kind not to speak my mind
And to lie to you rather than hurt you?
Well, I'll confess all of of my sins
After several large gins
But still I'll hide from you
Hide what's inside from you
And alarm bells ring
When you say your heart still sings
When you're with me
Oh, won't you please forgive me?
I no longer hear the music
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
And though the memories of the pubs

Even now there's something
To be proud about you
Come up the hard way
And they'll remind you every day

You're like a, a journalist
How you can cut and paste and twist
You're awful

On the bus the other day
You could tell right from the start
There's magic in all that you play
But oh, can you play guitar boy
Can you play guitar?
The truth is known the drums they roll
Loop the loop on the old banjo
Say, "No no no"
Say, "Yeah, yeah, yeah"
I said, "Maybe, maybe, maybe"
I just don't care"
No it doesn't rhyme with treasury

If Queen Boadicea is long dead and gone
Still then the spirit in her children's children's children, it lives on
If you've lost your faith in love and music, oh, the end won't be long
Because if it's gone for you'll actually may lose it
And that would be wrong
I've tried so hard to keep myself from falling back into my bad old ways
And it chars my heart to always hear you calling

Shovelled up like muck
Set the night on fire
Wombles bleed truncheons and shields
You know, I cherish you my love
But there's a rumour spread nasty disease around town
Caught 'round the houses with your trousers down
A headrush in the bush
You know, I cherish you my love

You don't want to know
If you pipe all summer long
Then get forgiven in a...
Shoop shoop, shoop delang a lang
Shoop shoop, shoop delang a lang
Shoop shoop, shoop delang a lang
Shoop shoop, shoop delang a lang

Oh what's you gonna do, Katie?
You're a sweet, sweet girl
But it's a cruel, cruel world
A cruel, cruel world
My pins are none too st...

Up the Bracket |
All animals we are
Round the bench in the park
Your sisters in the dark today
Watery pinned eyes
My soul has gone a little cold
I maybe maybe next year
If it isn't to dear
We'll get ourself some good time girls
Remember when you pay
You'll pay in many many ways
And he's crossing the road
To get his daily sport
Oh now they're begging you
They're begging you
What will you do?
Oh Lord they're beg...
You're walkin' like you never seen the light
Since you're walkin' like it every night
But I've never seen you dance
And I've never heard you sing
So how can it mean a single thing?
It is all so rudimentary
You're talkin' like your handy in the fight
You talk about it every night
But I've never seen those flowers
In the barrel of a gun
All I've ever seen you do is run
It is all so rudimentary

From way far across the sea
Came an Eritrean maiden she
Had a one track mind and eyes funny
Half blinded in a war
With a pale young Anglican
Who said he'd help her all he can
Showed her Jesus and his little unholy friend
She had no notion to please him
Just say ta ra and leave him behind
A little boy in a stairwell who says
"I hate people like you"
I got match sticks and cable TV
Half of less ...
I've been following
Your minds instructions
Oh how just to slowly, sharply screw myself to death
Ah yes, there is a screw
It's pointed at my head
Then look a dream peddlar
And a stick of light through my bones
"Don't get on the wrong one"
"Oh you and you what's your game"
Laying me down to waste laying me down
Pin me up or put me down
Uh uh uh uh oh
Now let it all go
It's a horror show, you sh...
You caught me in the middle dazed on the carpet
I was following the lines that move like more snakes thinking
Something ain't quite right
You got the devil on your side, standing to your right come on
You caught me in the middle dazed and confused
I was following the good steps fancy free and footloose
Something ain't quite right
You got the devil on your side, standing to your right come on, ...
If I get the call
I will call across Radio America
Right across America I will call
Yes, I will call all across Radio America
Right across America I will call
If call I must do
To take my love, my love to you
There a lovely young girl on aboard
Walks down here
And all across Africa, China and Australia
I will call
Call you down in New Mexico
In New Brighton and Tokyo
I will call
If call we mus...
I've got a little secret for ya
Even now there's something
To be proud about you
Come up the hard way
And they'll remind you every day
You're nothing
Oh, my words in your mouth
Are mumbled all about
You're like a, a journalist
How you can cut and paste and twist
You're awful
And tell it to your king
Oh, tell him everything you know
Tell him you know how I feel
Tell him you know I feel the pala...
The boy looked at Johnny and said
My word that was fun
Oh when he did it with his hat on
And a saddle and a gun
Please slow motion eating your breakfast
At the Side View hotel
Oh sipping down wine
Everything's going so well
And New York City's very pretty in the night time
But aha don't you miss Soho
Where everybody goes
La dee dii, la dee dii, la la la
La dee dii, la dee dii, la la la
La dee ...
If Queen Boadicea is long dead and gone
Still then the spirit in her children's children's children, it lives on
If you've lost your faith in love and music, oh, the end won't be long
Because if it's gone for you'll actually may lose it
And that would be wrong
I've tried so hard to keep myself from falling back into my bad old ways
And it chars my heart to always hear you calling
Calling for t...
Did you see the stylish kids in the riot?
Shovelled up like muck
Set the night on fire
Wombles bleed truncheons and shields
You know, I cherish you my love
But there's a rumour spread nasty disease around town
Caught 'round the houses with your trousers down
A headrush in the bush
You know, I cherish you my love
Ohh, I cherish you my love
Tell me what can you want now you've got it all
The sce...
I saw two shadow men on the Valance road
Said they'd pay me for your address
Oh I was so bold
I said you see these two cold fingers
These crooked fingers I show
Yous a way to mean no
Well they didn't like that much I can tell you
He said, "Sunshine I wouldn't wanna be in your shoes"
They chased me up two flights of stairs
Caught me in the lift how I sighed and said
Hello, 'cause you're impossi...
Koreema knows that just what it is she does
It can't be hard for her to get a buzz
Down in the street below
Hear the drunken archangel sing
I know what's on your mind, my boy
Just I can see, oh everything
Lead pipes, they're fortune made
Well, take a tip from me
Climb up to her window ledge or you'll forever be
Just walking under ladders as the people round you hear you crying please
As the pe...
What a waster, what a f***ing waster
You pissed it all up the wall
Round the corner where they chased her
There's tears coming out from everywhere
The city's hard, the city's fair
Get back inside you've got nothing on
No you mind you're bleedin' own you two bob cunt
When she wakes up in the morning
She writes down all her dreams
Reads like the book of revelations
Or the Beano or the unabridged...
