Remember The Future
03:23
|
|||
|
VERSE 1
The sound rang out like a gun shot
It startled all the cops
Took the news anchor by surprise
There was shock in the politican's eyes
CHORUS
Do you remember the future
This is supposed to be the future
VERSE 2
Our time was running on a clock
That had suddenly been stopped
Whatever we had planned to do
is now completely screwed
VERSE 3
So the bomb never dropped
But still everyone gave up
A complete mass rejection
Moving without direction

Pillbox
02:58
|
|||
|
VERSE 1
bathroom sink is full of water
see it wash down spiders
cabin fever starts to set in
windows keep out vermin
VERSE 2
kitchen fill it up with vapours
gases choke the monsters
pillbox boarded up for safety
lanterns scare off zombies

Quit Being A Loser
03:01
|
|||
|
VERSE 1
You can say that yesterday's heroes are up for sale
You can point at the leaders now in jail
You've been running a misery museum
You've turned away from freedom
CHORUS
Quit being a loser
Quit being a loser
It's been staring you right in the face
Quit being a loser
Quit being a loser
It's been staring you right in the face
in the face
VERSE 2
Where does criticism end and envy begin?
you think that achievement is a sin
You'd rather be upside down in a ditch
than attempt to cross-examine the super rich

Touched Base With Bob
02:52
|
|||
|
VERSE 1
Well I touched base with Bob
Looking out my window
I saw him lying in street
There was no-one else around
so I went out to greet him
Yes I touched base with Bob
he looked tired as
though he'd had enough
So we went back inside
and I poured out a glass of gin
CHORUS
I touched base with Bob
VERSE 2
So I touched base with Bob
But there's no quarterly
report to be received
That's not the kind of
information we're relieved by
Yeah I touched base with Bob
He couldn't explain how he'd
fallen down
So I looked away so
as not to catch his eye
BREAK
This city is getting worse every day
How much longer can it go on this way?

Get Lost
02:00
|
|||
|
VERSE 1
I saw you march down the street
I decided not to retreat
You think of yourself as a bruiser
You told me that I'm a loser
So here is my witty repost
I would like you to get lost
CHORUS
Get lost
VERSE 2
You reacted with surprise
You could see the war in my eyes
I'm sick of you living so huge
I'm not going to hesitate to be rude
So here at no extra cost
I'm telling you to get lost

Top Poster
02:38
|
|||
|
VERSE 1
I'm staring down from bedroom walls
I'm wearing stupid hats and juggling balls
Been in smash hits and all the papers
I'm having fun and getting in capers
CHORUS 1
I'm your top poster
VERSE 2
But there's something else you wanted from me
important art that's treated seriously
You got tired of seeing me act like a clown
So you took all of those posters down
CHORUS 2
But still I'm the top poster
VERSE 3
You can't handle a laugh and a joke
And now your future's completely broke
I still have fame and appear on TV
But all you have left is your misery
CHORUS 3
I'm the top poster
OUTRO
Just because something's dark and gritty
doesn't mean it's realistic

Eye In The Sky
03:32
|
|||
|
VERSE 1
Ever get the feeling you're being watched?
your times running out on a clock
like a defendant in the dock
CHORUS 1
There's an eye in the sky
There's an eye in the sky
watching for your lies
watching you get high
VERSE 2
Your movements are being recorded
your good works won't be rewarded
they've made up something sordid
CHORUS 2
There's an eye in the sky
There's an eye in the sky
Seeing through your disguise
And your well crafted alibies
VERSE 3
you've been noticed around
while you were out on the town
they were looking down
|

Angry Avenue
02:07
|
|||
|
VERSE 1
walking towards me down the street
are people I don't want to meet
they could be anyone
I don't want their deceit
CHORUS
You're walking down Angry Avenue
VERSE 2
there's a man with two dogs
he's wearing wooden clogs
and I can see
a thickening fog

The Next Hitler
02:58
|
|||
|
VERSE 1
You've been staying inside
There's been things on your mind
You feel left out and behind
You think you're being ignored
Hiding behind a locked door
You've been keeping a greivance score
CHORUS
You could be the next Hitler
Yes you could be the next Hitler
VERSE 2
You lie down on the floor
like you don't care anymore
and stay frozen to the core
feel like a piece of meat
glare at people in the street
and only see the concrete

Wacky Radio DJs
02:08
|
|||
|
VERSE 1
Everything is shot to shit
But they keep on playing those hits
This city has become a pit
But not to those wacky radio DJs
There are craters in the ground
Burnt out houses falling down
People want to leave this town
Except those wacky radio DJs
VERSE 2
This place was once a human zoo
But now there's nothing left to do
except look out of a window view
and hear those wacky radio DJs
They keep up their laughs and japes
While everyone else tries to escape
I swear they need to change the tape
yes it's those wacky radio DJs

I Said No
02:43

INTRO
Could I trouble you for some change, young sir?
VERSE 1
I woke up wearing someone else's clothes
I realised I was bleeding out my nose
With your all day breakfast and the shit on your shoes
you're going to make sure that you lose
CHORUS
I said no
VERSE 2
We've been living in a city under seige
Bombed out and down on it's knees
with your cellophane girlfriends and creepy tone
You feel embarrased even when you're alone
BREAK
You're not /counting sheep
When you're tossing in your sleep
OUTRO
Actually I meant 'do you have any change for a five pound note?'

Unbiased Observation
03:46
|
|||
|
VERSE 1
So you landed on the moon
you'll be calling home soon
at around about noon
If you can be motivated
Your head is in a fog
Living down in a smog
Barked at by a dog
You're feeling agitated
CHORUS
Can you make an unbiased observation
Can you ignore the distortion
VERSE 2
When you're under the table
you're feeling unable
to untangle the cable
without agitation
Because people are shouting
they're being distracting
it's not at all surprising
you lose concentration
|

Golden Opportunity
02:04
|
|||
|
VERSE 1
Put on clean clothes
get your money out
the show starts
as everybody shouts
CHORUS
It's a golden opportunity
A golden opportunity
VERSE 2
No time to waste
the minutes are ticking
You'd better make haste
don't be caught sitting
VERSE 3
Don't sit back
because you'll regret
You can make a stack
if you break a sweat
OUTRO
A golden opportunity

Hat Of Humiliation
02:45
|
|||
|
VERSE 1
Your house became a museum
a diverse and assorted collection
Of things that reminded you of the past
humilations whose effects did last
There were a great many items there
But there was one that made people stare
The centrepiece among those artifacts
was a very embarrassing hat
CHORUS
You wear a hat of humiliation
VERSE 2
You had that hat for so long
It symbolised all that was wrong
It made you feel like shit
whenever you were under it
Despite your cramped chateaux
you wouldn't let anything go
You couldn't throw that stuff away
The piles got bigger every day

Back To Normal
02:43
|
|||
|
VERSE 1
After years of living in a cave
You decided to stop being a slave
And ignore tradition's
demands to behave
You were living in your mind
Almost completely resigned
to the idea that you
were falling behind
CHORUS
Well, it's back to normal
yes, back to normal
back to normal for you
now it's back to normal
hey, back to normal
normal is what you do
VERSE 2
Now you're going outside
There's a rising tide
of people telling you
the so-called upside
They're pushing you into work
Want you to be an office clerk
But that kind of drudgery
will drive you beserk
|

Forward To The Future
03:00
|
|||
|
VERSE 1
You were so far up yourself
there was no room for anyone else
Ever more desperate for attention
Climbing up a cardboard mountain
You didn't understand
the brick was in your hand
CHORUS
Forward to the future
VERSE 2
You offered me a ten pound note
because you were a stupid scrote
There are problems that can't be solved
by making your wallet dissolve
There was nothing wrong
the city was here all along
BREAK
I was there
I was involved
You were just a passive observer
