watch the smile appear and fade
watch the smile appear and fall

memories come memories go
off with the sun, off with the moon
off with the tide, the ebb and the flow
memories come memories go

off through the streets, off through the leaves
off with the clouds, off with the rain
off with the tide, the ebb and the flow
memories come memories go
 
In the midst of the woods
Strange figures walk in lines
They are wearing hoods
And robes and pendants with mystical signs

On the road to the Sabbath
Of unholy passion
To raise the demons
In the old fashion

Look out!


The next verse if anyone can identify this. It's modern doom, anyway.
 
fishfingerer said:
You haven't moved from that spot all night since you asked for a light
you little smoke stack
You've wasted my time
I'd like to see you try and give it back

I'm working
But I'm not working for you!
Slack Motherfucker!

Relax, sit down
I'll kick that stool right out from under you
Well, then, I see you sitting outside
Well, I can do the same thing too

I'm working
But I'm not working for you!
No!
Slack Motherfucker!

I'm working
But I'm not working for you!
Slack Motherfucker
You Motherfucker!!


Sheer joy, thank you fishfingerer! Superchunk right where it hurts!
 
I lit a fire tonight
And jumped back when it came to life
My heart is racing
Burned out and just begun
Built like I’m made to come undone
This love will flicker in the flames

I stop counting lovers
When I forget their names
And bury them in melodies
I won't spend another sleepless night
Trying to believe
Trying to believe

I lit a fire tonight
A self-centered, calculated lie
My heart is in one piece

Burned out and just begun
I couldn't stop the ignition
No love just lust and leave

I stop counting lovers
When I forget their names
And bury them in melodies
I won't spend another sleepless night
Trying to believe
Trying to believe

I could go to waste
On a reckless leap of faith
We all know just how I got here
This is how I plan to leave

And when the smoke is gone
I look back at the hearts left in the wake
And go back to my other thousand ways

I stop counting lovers
When I forget their names
And bury them in melodies
I won't spend another sleepless night
Trying to believe
Trying to believe

Boys forget your girls
Forget your girls
They will bring you down, down oh oh

Girls forget your boys
Forget your boys
They will break your hearts oh oh oh
 
Us and Them
And after all we're only ordinary men
Me, and you
God only knows it's not what we would choose to do
Forward he cried from the rear
and the front rank died
And the General sat, as the lines on the map
moved from side to side
Black and Blue
And who knows which is which and who is who
Up and Down
And in the end it's only round and round and round
Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
the poster bearer cried
Listen son, said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside
Down and Out
It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about
With, without
And who'll deny that's what the fightings all about
Get out of the way, it's a busy day
And I've got things on my mind
For want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died
 
All alone...

The beat's got soul
Deuteronomy

Snatch a piece of my wondering
This did fall like under in
Skid em with two lights
Skid em with boot light
Flamers too light
Where's the waitress
Can't take this really can't finish this
These airs and all these graces
It's my mistake I'll make it
J'd up to the boom now make it
Bounce wiggle bounce wiggle shaking all them things out
Chemical cutthroats 'bout to blow the brain out
Cut to the brain
This ain't no game
I'll show no shame
I'll birth this bane
I'll twist the game
I'll twist the game
I'll push this plane
It's plain as day
Known to what these sayers say
Known to what these doers do
It's you and who and you know where
We's about to take it there
We's about to make it clear
We're happy on we lonesome
The lone drum the beat hot
From start to finish
Ten spoons of spinach
The soul and the spillage
The cup that runneth over
We turn up the 'oh God'

All alone...

Close your eyes and see
When there ain't no light
All you'll ever be
Come and save the night
Coz I don't leave
When the morning comes it doesn't
Seem to say an awful lot to me...

All alone...
 
I hate the guts of Shakin' Stevens
For what he has done
The massacre of "Blue Christmas"
On him I'd like to land one on

But I'll stick with the gang of one

You can hang out with the Red Hot Chili Peppers
You can lie to me and say it's not true
You can drive ol' Mike Ness down to Houston
Tell all of your friends he thinks your cool

Or you can see inside the Stray Cats tour bus
You can see the Butt Hole Surfers overseas
You can party with the dead till you're crazy in the head
But you can't get away from me

No, you can't get away from me
Seattle, Hollywood, or N.Y.C.
You're a tour bus magnet
And you think that no one sees

But you can't get away from me
Oh you can't get away!
Well you can party down with Warren in ol' New Orleans
You can get engagedw ith Charlie Sexton, too

You can take a ride on Billy Idol's Harley
Watch while Henry Rollins gets a tattoo
Or you can run off with some Aerosmith Roadie
You can get inside a party for Ice-T

You can travel with the crew
Till they're all sick of you
But you can't get away from me

No, you can't get away from me
Seattle, Hollywood, or N.Y.C.
You're a tour bus magnet
And you think that no one sees

But you can't get away from
No you can't get away from me
Oh my God! You can't get away from me
 
I hurt myself today,
to see if I still feel.
I focus on the pain,
the only thing that's real.
The needle tears a hole,
the old familiar sting.
Try to kill it all away,
but I remember everything.
What have I become?
My sweetest friend.
Everyone I know,
goes away in the end.
And you could have it all,
my empire of dirt.

I will let you down,
I will make you hurt.

I wear this crown of thorns,
upon my liar's chair.
Full of broken thoughts,
I cannot repair.
Beneath the stains of time,
the feelings disappear.
You are someone else.
I am still right here.

What have I become?
My sweetest friend.
Everyone I know,
goes away in the end.
And you could have it all,
my empire of dirt.

I will let you down.
I will make you hurt.

If I could start again,
a million miles away.
I would keep myself.
I would find a way.
 
Have you ever had a ride in a light blue car?
Have you ever stopped to think who's the slave and who's the master?
Have you ever had trouble with your automobile?
Have you ever had to push push push push?
Cartrouble oh yeah

You might have seen them very busy at the weekends (oh oh)
Lick lick and polishing the beep-beeps into shape
And then its proudly up the M1 M2 M3
And keep your feet off the upholstery Ronnie
Cartrouble oh yeah

Car carcar trouble car carcar trouble
Car carcar trouble car carcar trouble
Car carcar trouble car carcar trouble
Car carcar trouble car carcar trouble

And remember this:
You don't need anything after an icecream

I used to sit at home silently and wonder
Why all the preference is polishing the chrome
While all the mothers and the sisters and the babies
Sit and rot at home
Cartrouble oh yeah

And remember this:
You don't need anything after an icecream

Car carcar trouble car carcar trouble
 
She stood there bright as the sun on that california coast
He was a midwestern boy on his own
She looked at him with those soft eyes,
So innocent and blue
He knew right then he was too far from home he was too far from home

She took his hand and she led him along that golden beach
They watched the waves tumble over the sand
They drove for miles and miles
Up those twisting turning roads
Higher and higher and higher they climbed

And those hollywood nights
In those hollywood hills
She was looking so right
In her diamonds and frills
All those big city nights
In those high rolling hills
Above all the lights
She had all of the skills

Hed headed west cause he felt that a change
Would do him good
See some old friends, good for the soul
She had been born with a face that would let her
Get her way
He saw that face and he lost all control
He had lost all control

Night after night, day after day, it went on and on
Then came that morning he woke up alone
He spent all night staring down at the lights of la
Wondering if he could ever go home

And those hollywood nights
In those hollywood hills
It was looking so right
It was giving him chills
In those big city nights
In those high rolling hills
Above all the lights
With a passion that kills

In those hollywood nights
In those hollywood hills
She was looking so right
In her diamonds and frills
All those big city nights
In those high rolling hills
Above all the lights
She had all of the skills
 
Long one...

[Ol Dirty Bastard]
What y'all thought y'all wasn't gon' see me?
I'm the Osirus of this shit
Wu-Tang is here forever, motherfucker
It's like this ninety-seven
Aight my niggaz and my niggarettes
Let's do it like this
I'ma rub your ass in the moonshine
Let's take it back to seventy-nine

[Inspectah Deck]
I bomb atomically, Socrates' philosophies
and hypothesis can't define how I be droppin these
mockeries, lyrically perform armed robbery
Flee with the lottery, possibly they spotted me
Battle-scarred shogun, explosion when my pen hits
tremendous, ultra-violet shine blind forensics
I inspect you, through the future see millenium
Killa B's sold fifty gold sixty platinum
Shacklin the masses with drastic rap tactics
Graphic displays melt the steel like blacksmiths
Black Wu jackets queen B's ease the guns in
Rumble with patrolmen, tear gas laced the function
Heads by the score take flight incite a war
Chicks hit the floor, diehard fans demand more
Behold the bold soldier, control the globe slowly
Proceeds to blow swingin swords like Shinobi
Stomp grounds and pound footprints in solid rock
Wu got it locked, performin live on your hottest block

[Method Man]
As the world turns, I spread like germs
Bless the globe with the pestilence, the hard-headed never learn
It's my testament to those burned
Play my position in the game of life, standin firm
on foreign land, jump the gun out the fryin pan, into the fire
Transform into the Ghostrider, a six-pack
and +A Streetcar Named Desire+, who got my back?
In the line of fire holdin back, what?
My peoples if you with me where the fuck you at?
Niggaz is strapped, and they tryin to twist my beer cap
It's court adjourned, for the bad seed from bad sperm
Herb got my wig fried like a bad perm, what the blood
clot, we smoke pot, and blow spots
You wanna think twice, I think not
The Iron Lung ain't got ta tell you where it's coming from
Guns of Navarone, tearing up your battle zone
Rip through your slums

[Cappadonna]
I twist darts from the heart, tried and true
Loop my voice on the LP, martini on the slang rocks
Certified chatterbox, vocabulary 'Donna talkin
Tell your story walkin
Take cover kid, what? Run for your brother, kid
Run for your team, and your six camp rhyme groupies
So I can squeeze with the advantage, and get wasted
My deadly notes reigns supreme
Your fort is basic compared to mine
Domino effect, arts and crafts
Paragraphs contain cyanide
Take a free ride on my dart, I got the fashion
catalogues for all y'all to all praise to the Gods

[Ol Dirty Bastard]
The saga continues
Wu-Tang, Wu-Tang

[U-God]
Olympic torch flaming, we burn so sweet
The thrill of victory, the agony, defeat
We crush slow, flamin deluxe slow
For, judgment day cometh, conquer, it's war
Allow us to escape, hell glow spinning bomb
Pocket full of shells out the sky, Golden Arms
Tune spit the shitty Mortal Kombat sound
The fateful step make, the blood stain the ground
A jungle junkie, vigilante tantrum
A death kiss, catwalk, squeeze another anthem
Hold it for ransom, tranquilized with anesthetics
My orchestra, graceful, music ballerinas
My music Sicily, rich California smell
An axekiller adventure, paint a picture well
I sing a song from Sing-Sing, sippin on ginseng
Righteous wax chaperone, rotating ring king

[RZA]
Watch for the wooden soldiers, C-Cypher-Punks couldn't hold us
A thousand men rushin in, not one nigga was sober
Perpendicular to the square, we stamp gold like Fleer
Escape from your Dragon's Lair, in particular
My beats travel like a vortex, through your spine
to the top of your cerebrum cortex
Make you feel like you bust a nut from raw sex
Enter through your right ventricle clog up your bloodstream
now terminal, like Grand Central Station
Program fat baselines, on Novation
Getting drunk like a fuck, I'm duckin five-year probation

[GZA]
War of the masses, the outcome, disastrous
Many of the victim family save they ashes
A million names on walls engraved in plaques
Those who went back, received penalties for the axe
Another heart is torn as close ones mourn
Those who stray, niggaz get slayed on the song

[Masta Killa]
The track renders helpless and suffers from multiple stab wounds
and leaks sounds that's heard
ninety-three million miles away from came one
to represent the Nation, this is a gathering
of the masses that come to pay respects to the Wu-Tang Clan
As we engage in battle, the crowd now screams in rage
The high chief Jamel-I-Reef take the stage
Light is provided through sparks of energy
from the mind that travels in rhyme form
Givin sight to the blind
The dumb are mostly intrigued by the drum
Death only one can save self from
This relentless attack of the track spares none

[Ghostface Killah]
Yo! Yo! Yo, fuck that, look at all these crab niggaz laid back
Lampin like them gray and black Puma's on my man's rack
Codeine was forced in your drink
You had a Navy Green salamander fiend, bitches never heard you scream
You two-faces, scum of the slum, I got your whole body numb
Blowin like Shalamar in eighty-one
Sound convincin, thousand dollar court by convention
Hands, like Sonny Liston, get fly permission
Hold the fuck up, I'll unfasten your wig, bad luck
I humiliate, separate the English from the Dutch
it's me, black nobled you Ali
Came in threes we like the Genovese, is that so?
Caesar needs the greens, it's Earth
Ninety-three million miles from the first
Rough turbulence, the waveburst, split the megahertz

[Raekwon]
Aiyyo that's amazing, gun in your mouth talk, verbal foul hawk
Connect thoughts to make my manchild walk
Swift notarizer, Wu-Tang, all up in the high-riser
New York Yank' visor world tranquilizer
Just a dosage, delegate my Clan with explosives
While, my pen blow lines ferocious
Mediterranean, see y'all, the number one draft pick
Tear down the beat God, then delegate the God to see God
The swift chancellor, flex, the white-gold tarantula
Track truck diesel, play the weed God, substantiala
Max mostly, undivided, then slide in, sickenin
Guaranteed, made em jump like Rod Strickland
 
Jarvis - Running The world

Well did you hear, there's a natural order,
Those most deserving will end up with the most.
That the cream cannot help but always rise up to the top,
Well I say,
“Shit floats”.

If you thought things had changed,
Friend you'd better think again,
Bluntly put, in the fewest of words

Cunts are still running the world
Cunts are still running the world,

Now the working classes are obsolete,
They are surplus to societies needs,
So let 'em all kill each other,
An get a maid overseas.

That's the word don't you know,
From the guys thats running the show,
Lets be perfectly clear boys and girls,
Cunts are still running the world,
Cunts are still running the world.

ah yeah
oh yeah

Oh feed your children on Cray fish and Lobster tails,
Find a school near the top of the league,
In theory I respect your right to exist,
I will kill ya if you move in next to me,

Ah it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust,
But the takings are up a third, Oh So
Cunts are still running the world,
Cunts are still running the world.
ah yeah
Cunts are still running the world
oh yeah
Cunts are still running the world

If your market is perfectly natural,
Do you think that I'm some kind of dummy,
It's the ideal way to order the world,
“Fuck the morals, does it make any money?”

And if you don't like it? Then leave.
Or use your right to protest on the street,
Yeah, use your right
but don't imagine that it's heard,
Oh no no cunts are still running the world

Cunts are still running the world.
yeah Cunts are still running the world,
Cunts are still running the world.
Oh cunts are still running the world,
Cunts are still running the world.
Cunts are still running the world.
 
I cant stop
The way I feel
Things you do
Dont seem real
Tell you what I got in mind
cause were runnin out of time
Wont you ever set me free?
This waitin rounds killin me

She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
And I cant help myself

I cant get
Any rest
People say
Im obsessed
Everything thats serious lasts
But to me theres no surprise
What I have, I knew was true
Things go wrong, they always do

She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
And I cant help myself

I wont make it,
On my own
No on likes,
To be alone

She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
And I cant help myself

Uh huh huh
 
Not listening to anything now, but this was the last thing I did...

And now the buildings change.
Now the people change.
Everything changing.
Spirit and matter most apparent.
Realised there never was anything to worry about,
To doubt was insane.

The limited, callow, isolated individuals
Living on housing estates in Chingford,
Large detached houses in Kew,
Tower blocks on the Tottenham marshes,
Become my gods.

I see an accounts clerk from Tooting: I see Zeus.
A sanitary inspector from the London Borough of Haringay, enrobed,
stands resplendent before me.
For five minutes, I love everybody.

There is only love.
All action ceases.
The Mile End Road, once a blood-stained battleground of Bacchanalian excess,
Becomes the Garden of Gethsemane.
A bitter, 72-year old ex-docker becomes the ever-compassionate Buddha.
A Cypriot minicab driver becomes St Francis of Assissi.
The 22-year-old Glaswegian checkout girl IS the divine mother.

I love everybody. My spirit is free.

I am limitless in space, time and matter,
Simultaneously the planet Neptune, part of the structural support to Vauxhall Bridge.
I am your left breast,
I am Stepney,
I am Peru,
I am divine and so are you.

I love everybody.

I am nothing except a mere cluster of notes,
A road sign in Skelmersdale.
I ran the Roman Empire.
I was a lavatory attendant in Hull.
I am everybody, and everybody is me.

Spirit.

Who put the spirit in matter? LOVE

(Jah Wobble)
 
With the money from her accident
She bought herself a mobile home
So at least she could get some enjoyment
Out of being alone
No one could say that she was left up on the shelf
Its you and me against the world kid she mumbled to herself

When the world falls apart some things stay in place
Levi stubbs tears run down his face

She ran away from home with her mothers best coat
She was married before she was even entitled to vote
And her husband was one of those blokes
The sort that only laughs at his own jokes
The sort that war takes away
And when there wasnt a war he left her anyway

Norman whitfield and barratt strong
Are here to make everything right thats wrong
Holland and holland and lamont dozier too
Are here to make it all okay with you

One dark night he came home from the sea
And put a hole in her body where no hole should be
It hurt her more to see him walking out the door
And though they stitched her back together they left her heart in pieces on the
Floor

When the world falls apart some things stay in place
She takes off the four tops tape and puts it back in its case
When the world falls apart some things stay in place
Levi stubbs tears...
 
'.....beneath the stains of time , the feelings disappear........'


(and you could have it all my empire of dirt)




LoL....just saw this is what TP was listening to last night....x
 
ever bought an album and found it sorta of so-so ...then weeks later have lyrics floating around in your head before you realise how fucking awesome that album is? this has happened to me recently with deconstruction's album (basically jane's addction without perry farrell) here are my favourites:


Deconstruction - Get At 'em Lyrics

Not a whole lot, not a whole lot changes

I'm too many heartbeats a minute
My bed is sheet-twisted and I'm sleepless
My brain is baffled, boggled, and battle-fatigued
I'm my career, I'm radio static, I am my income, traffic, the car I drive
I'm panic and I need TV for my dreams
Seventh eleven seventh heaven
I'm green I want I need I want I need convenience
I am addicted I am six digits
Ambitions bloating I'm busy noisy
Infidelities to the dream I had of who I might to
I'm caffeinated and incorporated
Cog in the wheel of machinery
Naked aggressive, nightly newsish, and stress related
I'm crack cocaine and cholesterol
I play hard ball, I mean business and I've got a hard on for hate
What is a god and whose is this country
When it's only chity me and mine
I see my life flash before me when I try to sleep
I am a product

Not a whole lot, not a whole lot changes
I can I...can...I...can


Deconstruction-L.A. Song

Blue screen water it's not an ocean anymore
it's just a backdrop now come on l
a brae bones walk west bring your water
plant your scenery ramona
map out the dream
make the desert grow

move out flat don't rise up
one neighborhood
kraft cheese and a cup of joe raw fish in a burrito game show straight to video
in the land of the setting sun
psychotherapy sci-fi religion dead pigs
bikini barbell chakra gridlock don't think just talk
jog don't ever walk weight loss talk radio
roll up your windows private home securities take the streets
while the LAPD become blue machines cop copter spotlights down
premiere klieg lights up
none of your business buildings
gonna keep you out and keep us in
there's a hope downtown and a mission that feeds en pocas palabras de espera un duelo
this is no place this takes place does your horizon burn I have lived here my whole life I don't need more stories
about your broken midwest boulevard dreams stars also lie down that street you pretty little town you sad flower in the sand you pretty little town give me some of you venus and a silver moon give me some of you.

America
I was America this morning driving just to drive no destination in mind just spinning my wheels like I said I was America this morning I was America this morning I was America an overturned truck mess slowed up the highway like for a movie a drive-in movie or a circus sideshow we all waited for our turn to gawk four mexican bodies laid out like battle casualties a fireman on one knee with hands filled with frightened bloody Mexican face I rolled by I rolled by eating my egg mcmuffin and I didn't care for those few moments I let Rome burn getting fatter and uncaring I was America.

turns out, in my opinion at least, that Eric Avery(basssist) was the man that made jane's addiction a 'special' band ...instead of just another rock-androll group
 
It's only been a week,
The rush of being home in rapid fading.
Prevailing to recall
What I was missing, all that time in England
Has sent me aimlessly,
On foot or by the help of transportation,
To knock on windows where
A friend no longer live, I had forgotten.
And everywhere I go,
There's always something to remind me
Of another place and time
Where love that travelled far had found me.
We stayed outside til two,
Waiting for the light to come back,
But hid in talk I knew,
Until you asked what I was thinking.
Brave men tell the truth,
A wise man's tools are analogies and puzzles,
A woman holds her tongue,
Knowing silence will speak for her.
So now I'll never know,
As you will only sleep beside me,
 
Always stays the same, nothing ever changes,
English summer rain seems to last for ages.
Always stays the same, nothing ever changes,
English summer rain seems to last for ages.

I'm in the basement, you're in the sky,
I'm in the basement baby, drop on by.
I'm in the basement, you're in the sky,
I'm in the basement baby, drop on by.

Always stays the same, nothing ever changes,
English summer rain seems to last for ages.
Always stays the same, nothing ever changes,
English summer rain seems to last for ages.

I'm in the basement, you're in the sky,
I'm in the basement baby, drop on by.
I'm in the basement, you're in the sky,
I'm in the basement baby, drop on by.

Hold your breath and count to ten,
And fall apart and start again,
Hold your breath and count to ten,
Start again, start again...
Hold your breath and count your step,
And fall apart and start again,
Start again... [x13]

Always stays the same, nothing ever changes,
English summer rain seems to last for ages.
Always stays the same, nothing ever changes,
English summer rain seems to last for ages.

Hold your breath and count to ten,
And fall apart and start again,
hold your breath and count to ten,
Start again, start again...
Hold your breath and count to ten,
And fall apart and start again,
Old your breath and count to ten,
And start again, and start again,

Start again...
 
As I walked out tonight in the mystic garden
The wounded flowers were dangling from the vine
I was passing by yon cool crystal fountain
Someone hit me from behind

Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Through this weary world of woe
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
No one on earth would ever know

They say prayer has the power to heal
So pray from the mother
In the human heart an evil spirit can dwell
I am a-tryin' to love my neighbor and do good unto others
But oh, mother, things ain't going well

Ain't talkin', just walkin'
I'll burn that bridge before you can cross
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
There'll be no mercy for you once you've lost

Now I'm all worn down by weeping
My eyes are filled with tears, my lips are dry
If I catch my opponents ever sleeping
I'll just slaughter 'em where they lie

Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Through the world mysterious and vague
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
Walkin' through the cities of the plague.

Well, the whole world is filled with speculation
The whole wide world which people say is round
They will tear your mind away from contemplation
They will jump on your misfortune when you're down

Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Eatin' hog eyed grease in a hog eyed town.
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
Some day you'll be glad to have me around.

They will crush you with wealth and power
Every waking moment you could crack
I'll make the most of one last extra hour
I'll revenge my father's death then I'll step back

Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Hand me down my walkin' cane.
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
Got to get you out of my miserable brain.

All my loyal and my much-loved companions
They approve of me and share my code
I practice a faith that's been long abandoned
Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road

Ain't talkin', just walkin'
My mule is sick, my horse is blind.
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
Thinkin' 'bout that gal I left behind.

Well, it's bright in the heavens and the wheels are flyin'
Fame and honor never seem to fade
The fire gone out but the light is never dyin'
Who says I can't get heavenly aid?

Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Carryin' a dead man's shield
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
Walkin' with a toothache in my heel

The sufferin' is unending
Every nook and cranny has its tears
I'm not playing, I'm not pretending
I'm not nursin' any superfluous fears

Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Walkin' ever since the other night.
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
Walkin' 'til I'm clean out of sight.

As I walked out in the mystic garden
On a hot summer day, a hot summer lawn
Excuse me, ma'am, I beg your pardon
There's no one here, the gardener is gone

Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Up the road, around the bend.
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
In the last outback at the world's end.
 
Don't start me talking
I could talk all night
My mind goes sleepwalking
While I'm putting the world to right
Called careers information
Have you got yourself an occupation?

Oliver's army is here to stay
Oliver's army are on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else
But here today

There was a checkpoint Charlie
He didn't crack a smile
But it's no laughing party
When you've been on the murder mile

Only takes one itchy trigger
One more widow, one less white nigger

(Chorus)

Hong Kong is up for grabs
London is full of Arabs
We could be in Palestine
Overrun by a Chinese line
With the boys from the Mersey and the Thames and the Tyne

But there's no danger
It's a professional career
Though it could be arranged
With just a word in Mr. Churchill's ear

If you're out of luck or out of work
We could send you to Johannesburg
 
I have wist, sin i couthe meen,
That children hath by candle light

I have wist, sin i couthe meen,
That children hath by candle light
Her shadewe on the wal iseen,
And ronne therafter all the night.

Bisy aboute they han they han ben
And whom they catchen it best wolde wene

I have wist, sin i couthe meen,
That children hath by candle light
The shadewe catchen they ne might,
For no lines that they couthe lay.
This shadewe i may likne aright
To this world and yesterday.

Bisy aboute they han they han ben
And whom they catchen it best wolde wene

I have wist, sin i couthe meen,
That children hath by candle light
Her shadewe on the wal iseen,
And ronne therafter all the night.

Bisy aboute they han they han ben
And whom they catchen it best wolde wene
Bisy aboute they han they han ben
And whom they catchen it best wolde wene
 
The alarm rang for days
You could tell from conversations
I was waiting by the screen
I couldn't recognise my photograph
Me, I disconnect from you

I was walking up the stairs
Something moved in silence
I could feel his mind decaying
Only inches away from me
And I disconnect from you

Please don't turn me off
I don't know what I'm doing outside
Me and the telephone that never rings
If you were me, what would you do?
Me, I disconnect from you
 
We meet in underground parking lots
And late night in coffee shops
With voices low unless we’re drunk
We've got hats and cupped sunglasses
We question all that is wrong
We discuss conspiracy
Are we enemies of the state?
Or idealist bourgeoisie?

I’ll get this one, put it on my card
I get frequent flyer mileage
And a booklet of upgrades
So next time I visit the third world
I won’t have to fly second class
The people's revolution is gonna be a podcast

We took the bus to the anarchist book fair
I left the hybrid at home
I scored an extremely rare signed copy of the communist manifesto
We protested the G8, got maced by female police
In hot black uniforms and boots
I got one’s e-mail address

Still I’m waiting to see if my bid on eBay was enough
To get "Today’s Empires Are Tomorrow’s Ashes" on soviet red vinyl
It’s going on the wall next to "Tubthumper" and "The Battle Of Los Angeles"
Of Los Angeles
 
Badman forward badman pull up
Badman forward badman pull up
Badman forward badman pull up
Badman pull up badman pull up
