VERSE 1 So I made some mistakes in the past whose consequences continue to last so while I'm on this stage let me just say something because empty meaningless nothing apologies are all the rage CHORUS I'll be here all week try the veal try the veal try the veal try the veal I'll be here all week try the veal try the veal try the veal try the veal try the veal try the veal try the veal try the veal VERSE 2 how many times do I have to say that I'm sorry every single day act out my sincere regret do you accept my heartfelt plea will you offer your sympathy like a bayonet

Too Bad 05:06
lyrics

VERSE 1 Well hey I heard your song on the radio It's a shame no-one else cared although I thought it was rather good but it didn't catch the tenor of the times like it could Don't be sour you've got to believe it's not my fault can't you see? CHORUS It's too bad It's too bad You're feeling sad You're feeling sad It's too bad It's too bad You're getting mad You're getting mad with me VERSE 2 well hey are you gonna get up off the floor? it's a pain I have been there before Don't take this personally and it isn't like I commited a crime hear my plea Don't take offence at my success It doesn't mean you're worth less VERSE 3 well hey you have been dropped off that TV show it's a strain I'm on instead you know It was out of my control but my performance was better aligned with their goal I don't mean to boast and taunt But I give people what they want

VERSE 1 I'm standing here minding my own business on a crowded street in the middle of the day but you're looking at me just like it's Christmas what's your explanation do you have something to say? CHORUS Huh!

Sex Boast Song 02:50
lyrics
buy track
VERSE 1 you're aware of my reputation I'm known across all nations your name's synonymous with frustration you're lacking a firm foundation I'm hanging out with movie stars while you can't get into bars when you go to the club you can't keep it up CHORUS Sex boast song this is a sex boast song Sex boast song this is a sex boast song a sex boast song VERSE 2 Let me tell you about my exploits when I'm in town the ladies rejoice well that is not what I've heard your inflated claims are absurd I met your mother in the local diner she asked me to call her any time, yeah While you've been sitting on your steeple I've had sex with a million people

VERSE 1 You walked in and caught me making out with a Japanese love pillow of myself in case there is any doubt I'm not ashamed in this hotel CHORUS a Japanese love pillow a Japanese love pillow a love pillow a Japanese love pillow a love pillow a Japanese love pillow a love pillow a Japanese love pillow VERSE 2 in case you think that I'm discomposed let me reassure you I don't feel perturbed doesn't matter that you know or if you think I'm a pervert

lyrics

VERSE 1 when you watch television you don't want new information nothing that will cause you trouble or make your heart rate double You only want what's predictable nothing at all that's unusual only things that are familiar you shun anything peculiar CHORUS 1 you want something safe and secure that won't make you feel unsure something safe and secure that will reassure VERSE 2 you only want repeats of the past new things make you turn off fast even a manufacturered scandal needs a pre-used handle whatever songs used to mean you want scrubbed nice and clean with no sociopolitical content sung by someone just to pay their rent CHORUS 2 you want something safe and secure nothing weird or obscure something safe and secure that you've seen before

Repeat Everything 02:31
lyrics
buy track
VERSE 1 - 16 bars] The same thing happens to me every day It seems that no-one hears what I say Whether I am on the street or in a bar I get ignored no matter where we are CHORUS People don't listen to me so I have to repeat everything People don't listen to me so I have to repeat everything VERSE 2 I've noticed it happen more when you're around I can't be heard above the noise of the crowd whenever I try to speak nobody hears could it be because you are near?

VERSE 1 wherever you go, no matter how far a West End show or a cocktail bar there's a feeling that follows you it affects your views things are not good enough a millionaire's yacht is a bit rough everything is such a bore seems to me that you're CHORUS for the sour VERSE 2 a posh hotel or a limo car it might as well be a boxcar even a fancy restaurant doesn't give you what you want no matter the place or the company the look on your face is misery nothing meets your demands you're making a stand

VERSE 1 suddenly it feels like summer even though I'm still wearing my winter coat suddenly it feels like summer and we're all in the same boat people on the streets no-one is going to work everyone you meet has on their barbeque shirt VERSE 2 suddenly it feels like summer people are out in the parks and bars suddenly it feels like summer driving in their open-top cars going to the beach eating out in restaurants everything's in reach the world's an open storefront VERSE 3 suddenly it feels like autumn there's an early morning chill in the air suddenly it feels like autumn people don't seem to care think that they're exempt go in their own direction they make no attempt to follow the instructions VERSE 4 suddenly it feels like winter everywhere there's a sense of suspicion suddenly it feels like winter people waiting for permission they have to accept the shifting in the weather everyone's suspect now they can't stand together

Dreaming Of Success 04:20
lyrics
buy track
VERSE 1 you feel that you have something to prove but you hate the thought that you might lose so you put up with these daily indignities and indulge in some displacement activities CHORUS 1 sitting bored at work as a filing clerk you're dreaming of success lying on the couch after a night out you're dreaming of success VERSE 2 you want an easy way to win out a sure fire method abscence of doubt but in lieu of such guaranteed gold plated scheme you do nothing and float along with the mainstream CHORUS 2 waiting in a line for any sort of sign you're dreaming of success unmoving in a crowd rained on by clouds you're dreaming of success CHORUS 3 travelling by bus nothing to discuss you're dreaming of success driving in your car you want to be a star you're dreaming of success

Big Man 03:37
lyrics
buy track
VERSE 1 You tried to be the big man but no-one was really fooled at least not for very long your decisions laughable and publically overruled everyone thinks that you're wrong CHORUS 1 well that's a very interesting opinion you're clearly not a fan Haven't you heard about the millions who agree with me and my plan VERSE 2 You failed to be a big man a joke on the evening news The crowd thinks that you're a clown your reputation ruined you don't have any excuse now you're finished in this town CHORUS 2 well that's a rather unfair attack can it be entirely true lots of people have my back and don't share your point of view CHORUS 3 well it sounds like a simple mistake made in a rush carelessly it's just a case of sour grapes from someone in a fit of jealousy

Freedom Of The City 04:17
lyrics
buy track
VERSE 1 We've been given the freedom of the city whatever that means a decision made by some committee hiding behind screens CHORUS 1 you are permitted to go out in the streets but there's a limit on who you can meet unless you've made a contribution to my campaign for re-election VERSE 2 We've been given the freedom of the city within certain guides what does that look like in reality we're still stuck inside CHORUS 2 you can congregate in small groups but expect to have to jump through hoops unless you've made a big donation to signal your affiliation CHORUS 3 you can enter high street shops but at any moment that could stop unless major business executives align with certain preferences
