Words Music: Hazel O'Connor The c*** it crowed "It's morning" the donkey said "Ee-aw" The pigs they grunted expectantly for the farmer to open the door The chickens started clucking, they could not lay no eggs They were just plain frightened, Remembering what the pigs had said "just do as you're told" Remembering what the pigs had said And they all sang [CHORUS:] We will be happy, we will be f...
They'll tear out your heart, throw it knee-deep in a gut 'cos that's what they do with the scum like me and you And you feel as if you died, moisture standing on the line And you wonder all the time why can't you cry? But the people in control don't care for you Say you're just a robot with a job to do And when your use is exhausted, they'll be rid of you As soon as look at you, go to the back...
I am the black man and you are the white I am the deviant and you're always right I am the darkness and you are the light I am the black man, you're the white Yeah I go, I'll be good living only if I'm dying, hide your head in your hand You hear no, see no, speak no no no, don't understand I am the blackness, I am the dark I am the alcoholic beast in the park I am the girl who sold her body to...
Well, I saw your face in a photograph Cried so much, I nearly laughed You never really had the chance To question why did you live some to cry some and die? Whatandhow writes the song, calls the tune Says what's right and wrong Writes the song, calls the tune Says what's right and wrong Oh, I'd have caught your eyes, but my hands were tied Was it truth? Was it lies? Many words of truth are spo...
There you are, waiting at the station Searching frantically the place where you belong Gave you a map that showed you your direction A shadow tore it up and told you it was wrong "That way's too long, and that's still in the zone" Come into the air and guest your body like a care You belong nowhere and you can't bear it Come into the air and guest your body like a care Life just isn't fair if ...
Words Music: Hazel O'Connor Here I sit so silently, I wait by your opening door May flit, may fly, may not understand why, I fear, when I hear you are near me [CHORUS:] But did they listen, listen to you today dawn Dawn, dawn chorus But did they listen, listen to you today dawn I hear you, and feel you, not yet born I hear you, and fear you, not yet born. I take to the sky, where the angels fe...
Words Music: Jim Webb Boy, I can understand how it might be Kind of hard to love a girl like me I don't blame you much for want-it to be free I just wanted you to know I've loved you better than your own kin did From the very start It's my own fault what happens to my heart See I've always known you'd go [CHORUS:] So you just do what you gotta do My wild sweet love Tho' it may mean that I'll n...
Words Music: Hazel O'Connor Red ringed the eyes of the women who cried to the night Black and possessed are the eyes of the man who drank to no foresight Then suffer little children, a haunted dream Bright eyes, scared eyes, a silent scream Now why'd you make me hit you - he'd say Leave me alone I hate you - she'd say Suffer little children, hear and have no say [CHORUS:] A leopard can't chang...
In the beginning was the word, man said: Let there be more light Electric scenes and laser beams, neon brights the light abhorring nights On the second day he said: Let's have a gas Hydrogen and cholera and pest Let's make some germs, we'll poison the worms Man will never be suppressed And he said: Behold what I have done I've made a better world for everyone Nobody laugh, nobody cry World wit...
'ey you, standing there, what you got to stare at? I'm not shy if your beady little eyes abuse me like some mishap Cackling laughter behind you, and you're so funny, you're so blunt Here's a thing you can understand: You are just a programme You're a programme, you're a programme Programme, programme, programme, programme Give me an inch, and I'll take me a mile Give me the distance from your ...
Words Music: The Stranglers Big girl in the red dress She's just trying to impress us And she's got the barley fever But she doesn't make a sound She's just hanging around She's just hanging around Down the court road early With the Hustlers big and burly There's a million of 'em selling And the buyers can be found They're just hanging around They're just hanging around [CHORUS:] Christ he tol...
Words Music: Hazel O'Connor Hello old friend long time no see Except the sea between you and me And that's physical and that's impenetrable Left you laughing at the dreams that I told you Now I'm laughing at the dreams that they sold me It's such a shame, you had to join their nasty game [CHORUS 1:] You didn't hold on You didn't hold on You didn't hold on To a dream, Ain't it obscene The silen...
What do you do when they turn on the light? You guard your heart, so they steal your sight You reach out in blindness, touch the alone Its icicle fingers chill you to the bone What do you do when the cat gives her tongue? No way to tell it's all going wrong Now that the words are locked in the phone Nobody answers, nobody's home What's done has been done, and I won't be the one Who despairs in...
Words Music: Lou Reed Men of good fortune Often cause empires to fall While men of poor beginnings Often can't do anything at all The rich son waits for his father to die While the poor just sit there and cry And me ... ah ... I just don't care at all Men of good fortune Very often can't do a thing While men of poor beginnings Often can't do anything At heart they try to act like a man Handle ...
What kind of things are you that live on papers White papers that you say apply to me Reams of rules constructed for protection Protection for yourselves, but not for me You hide behind your walls of bureaucracy I find that you've nothing to do with me You're all aliens I opened up my eyes, and saw to my surprise Monsters in disguise, wearing bowler hats and notes for ties Today you went out t...
Words Music: Hazel O'Connor Don't promise you'll never leave me Cos, that would be a lie We don't perceive the change of time Tomorrow's the throw of the dice Believe me I have tried for you As much as I could But I wouldn't couldn't I wouldn't I wouldn't I couldn't couldn't I wouldn't I wouldn't I couldn't give up my freedom Not for you, or for anyone else for you I guess I've lived alone too...
Words Music: Hazel O'Connor You hate yourself, so you hate everybody else People can make you feel small Small is a size when age just won't rise fast enough So you wait for the day, to be up get away Run run as fast as you can Over and Over and Over the hill far away [CHORUS:] Runaway Is there something you're trying to say Runaway Please come home one day Runaway Is there something you're tr...
Words Music: Hazel O'Connor So you're born, so you're torn From a place that's safe and warm I took a journey to see a world And you're born And you're torn So you're pulled from pillar to post And you're told it's best to be the one who knows the most Yet the more I know, I know nothing Nothing at all Yeh, you're born I met a man, who sung a song And the know-it-intellects said each note was ...
Round and round and round again Increasing circles, what a fun game We think we're different, we're not the same As you and he and she and he And we always believed that we're something unique And new little rich bands want us in their clique And we'll play, we'll play all of our days away There's you scratching my back, me scratching yours Rub up the right way, it always ensures We'll know th...
Words Music: Hazel O'Connor Ah come on Let's go Let's all play mums and dads, come on Where do babies come from, mum? Shut up you naughty boy And put your clothes back on [CHORUS:] Mucky pup, cover up Strip it down, cover round Dirty muck, cover up Look at us we got cover plus 'Cos we're all grown up, we're all grown up Peel off black nylon in the red light Silly old men leer through their gun...
Living in the shadow of the mushroom tower Who needs it? Find no shelter from that kind of shower Who needs it? Nuclear rain, melting my brain Who needs it - not you, not me, who needs this insanity? At the top of the tower there's a creature who wants power Who needs it? Who needs it? If he gets in the dungeon, he could just press the button Who needs it? Who needs it? He'll flee inside, and ...
You drink your coffee and I sip my tea And we're sitting here playing so cool, thinking "What will be, will be" But it's getting kind of late now Oh I wonder if you'll stay now, stay now, stay now, stay now Or will you just politely say goodnight? I move a little closer to you, not knowing quite what to do And I'm feeling all fingers and thumbs, I spill my tea, oh silly me But it's getting kin...
Down a tunnel, in a tube, on the floor, knocked down by booze Busy man has blown his fuse while crossword people look for clues I say sir, get your nose out the paper, take a good look at what's going down Get clued into the shape of, the shape of things to come Have you seen the writing on the wall? Have you seen the writing on the wall? Reaching out for your calls Have you seen the writing o...
