Last night I dreamt that somebody loved me

Last night I dreamt
that somebody loved me
no hope - no harm
just another false alarm
Last night I felt
real arms around me
no hope - no harm
just another false alarm
so, tell me how long
before the last one ?
and tell me how long
before the right one ?
this story is old - I KNOW
but it goes on
this story is old - I KNOW
but it goes on

Meat is murder

Heifer whines could be human cries
closer comes the screaming knife
this beautiful creature must die
this beautiful creature must die
a death for no reason
and death for reason is MURDER
and the flesh you so fancifully fry
is not succulent, tasty or nice
it's death for no reason
and death for no reason is MURDER
and the calf that you carve with a smile
is MURDER
and the turkey you festively slice
is MURDER
do you know how animals die ?
kitchen aroma aren't very homely
it's not "comforting," "cheery" or kind
it's sizzling blood and the unholy stench
of MURDER
it's not "natural," "normal" or kind
the fleas you so fancifully fry
as you savor the flavor
of MURDER
NO, NO, NO, IT'S MURDER
NO, NO, NO, IT'S MURDER
who hears when animals cry ?

London

Smoke
Lingers 'round your fingers
Train
Heave on - to Euston
Do you think you've made
The right decision this time ?
You left
Your tired family grieving
And you think they're sad because you're leaving
But did you see the Jealousy in the eyes
Of the ones who had to stay behind ?
And do you think you've made
The right decision this time ?
You left
Your girlfriend on the platform
With the really ragged notion that you'll return
But she knows
when he goes
He really goes
and do you think you've made
The right decision this time ?

Miserable lie

So, good-bye
please stay with your own kind
and I'll stay with mine

There's something against us
it's not time
So, good-bye
I know I need hardly say
how much I love your casual way
but please put your tongue away
a little higher and we're well away
the dark nights are drawing in
and your humor is as black as them
I look at yours, you laugh at mine
and "love" is just a miserable lie
you have destroyed my flower like-life
not once-but twice
you have corrupt my innocent mind
not once-but twice
I know that wind-swept mystical air
it means: I'd like to see your underwear
I recognize that mystical air
it means: I'd like to see your underwear
what do we get for the trouble and pain?
just a rented room in Whalley Range
into the depths of the criminal world
I followed her...

I need advice, I need advice
because nobody ever looks at me twice

I'm just a country-mile behind the world

I'm just a country-mile behind the whole world

so take me when you go
take me when you go
take when you go

I need advice
I need advice

Never had no one ever

When you walk without ease
on these
streets where you were raised
I had a really bad dream
it lasted 20 years, 7 months, and 27 days
and I'm still alone and I've
never, ever
had no one ever.

This night has opened my eyes

In a river the color of lead
immerse the baby's head
wrap her up in the News Of The World
dump her on a doorstep, girl
this night has opened my eyes
and I will never sleep again

You kicked and cried like a bullied child
a grown man of twenty-five
Oh, he said he'd cure your ills
but he didn't and he never will
so, please save your life
because you've only got one

The dream is gone
but the baby is real
Oh, you did a good thing
she could have been a poet,
or she could have been a fool
oh you did a bad thing
and I'm not happy
and I'm not sad

A shoeless child on a swing
reminds you of your own again
she took away your troubles
oh but then again
she left pain
so, save your life
because you've only got one

The dream is gone
but the baby is real
oh you did a good thing
she could have been a poet
or, she could have been a fool
oh you did a bad thing
and I'm not happy
and I'm not sad

Nowhere fast

I'd like to drop my trousers to the world
I am a man of means(of slender means)
each household appliance
is like a new science in my town
and if a day came when I felt a natural emotion
I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump in the ocean
and when a train goes by
it's such a sad sound

I'd like to drop my trousers to the Queen
every sensible child will know what this means
the poor and the needy
are selfish and greedy on her terms
and if the day came when I felt a natural emotion
I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump in the ocean
and when a train goes by
it's such a sad song

And when I'm lying in my bed
I think about life
and I think about death
and neither one particularly appeals to me
and if the day came when I felt a natural emotion
I'd get such a shock I'd probably lie
in the middle of the street and die
I'd lie down and die

Please, please, please let me get what I want

Good times for a change
See, the luck I've had
would make a good man
turn bad

So please please please
let me, let me, let me
get what I want
this time

Haven't had a dream in a long time
See, the life I've had
would make a good man bad

So for once in my life
let me get what I want
Lord knows it would be the first time
Lord knows it would be the first time

Paint a vulgar picture

At the record company meeting
On their hands - a dead star
and oh, the plans that they weave
and oh, the sickening greed
At the record company meeting
on their hands - a dead star
the sycophantic slags all say:
"I knew him first, and I knew him well"
Re-issue! Re-package! Re-package!
Re-evaluate the songs
double-pack with a photograph
Extra Track (and a tacky badge)
A-list, playlist
"Please them, please them!"
"Please them! Please them!"
(sadly, THIS was your life)
but you could have said no
if you'd wanted to
you could have said no
if you'd wanted to
BPI, MTV, BBC
"Please them! Please them!"
(sadly this was your life)
but you could have said no
if you'd wanted to
you could have walked away
...couldn't you?
I touched you at the soundcheck
you had no real way of knowing
in my heart I begged "please, take
me with you...
I don't care where you're going"
But to you I was faceless
I was fawning, I was boring
just a child from those ugly new houses
who could never begin to know
who could never really know
Best of ? Most of ?
Satiate the need
slip them into different sleeves!
Buy both, and be deceived
climber - new entry, re-entry
World tour! ("media whore")
"Please the Press in Belgium!"
(THIS was your life...)
and when it fails to recoup?
Well, maybe:
You just haven't earned it yet, baby
I walked a pace behind you at the soundcheck
you're just the same as I am
what makes most people feel happy
leads us headlong into harm
so, in my bedroom in those 'ugly new houses'
I dance my legs down to the knees
but me and my 'true love'
we will never meet again...
At the record company meeting
on their hands - at last! - a dead star!
but they cannot taint you in my eyes
no, they cannot touch you now
No, they cannot hurt you my darling
they cannot touch you now
but me and my 'true love'
will never meet again

Panic

Panic on the streets of London
Panic on the streets of Birmingham
I wonder to myself
Could life ever be sane again
the Leeds side-streets that you slip down
I wonder to myself
Hopes may rise on the Grasmeres
But Honey Pie, you're not safe here
So you run down
To the safety of the town
But there's Panic on the streets of Carlisle
Dublin, Dundee, Humberside
I wonder to myself
Burn down the Disco
Hang the blessed DJ
Because the music that they constantly play
IT SAYS NOTHING TO ME ABOUT MY LIFE
Hang the blessed DJ
Because the music they constantly play
On the Leeds side-streets that you slip down
the provincial towns you jog 'round
Hang the DJ,. Hang the D.J.,.Hang the DJ.
Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ.
HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ
HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ

Pretty girls make graves

Upon the sand,upon the bay
"there is a quick and easy way" you say
before you illustrate I'd rather state:

"I'm not the man you think I am
I'm not the man you think I am "

And Sorrow's native son
he will not smile for anyone

And pretty girls makes the graves
and of the pier, and of the bay
you tug my arm and say:
"Give into lust, give up to lust,
Oh heaven knows we'll soon be dust..."

But I'm not the man you think I am
I'm not the man you think I am

And Sorrow's native son
he will not rise for anyone

And pretty girls make graves

I could have been wild and I could have been free
but Nature played this trick on me

She wants it Now and she will not wait
but she's too rough and I'm too delicate

Then on the sand
another man, he takes her hand
and a smile lights up her stupid face
(and well, it would)

I lost my faith in Womanhood
I lost my faith in Womanhood
I lost my faith

The Queen is dead

Farewell to this lands cheerless marches
hemmed in like a boar between arches
her very Lowness with her head in a sling
I'm truly sorry - but it sounds like a wonderful thing
my dear Charles, don't you ever crave
to appear on the front of the Daily Mail
dressed in your Mother's bridal veil ?
So, I checked all the register's historical facts
and I was shocked into shame to discover
how I'm the 18th pale descendent
of some, old queen or other
has the world changed, or have I changed ?
has the world changed, or have I changed ?
when some 9-year old tough peddles drugs
I swear to God I swear
(I never even knew what drugs were)
And so, I broke into the Palace
with a sponge and a rusty spanner
she said: "Eh, I know you, and you cannot sing"
I said: "that's nothing - you should hear me play piano"
We can go for a walk where it's quiet and dry
and talk about precious things
but when you are tied to your mother's apron
not one talks about castration
We can go for a walk where it's quiet and dry
and talk about precious things
like love and law and poverty
these are the things that kill me
We can go for a walk where it's quiet and dry
and talk about precious things
but the rain that flattens my hair
these are the things that kill me
Passed the Pub that saps your body
and the church who'll snatch your money
the Queen is dead, boys
and it's so lonely on a limb
Pass the Pub that wrecks your body
and the church - all they want is your money
the Queen is dead, boys`
and it's so lonely on a limb
life is very long, when you're lonely
life is very long, when you're lonely
life is very long, when you're lonely
life is very long, when you're lonely

Reel around the fountain

It's time the tale were told
of how you took a child
and you made him old

Reel around the fountain
slap me on the patio
I'll take it now

Fifteen minutes with you
well, I wouldn't say no
people said that you were virtually dead
and they were so wrong

Fifteen minutes with you
well, I wouldn't say no
people said that you were easily led
and they were half-right

I dreamt about you last night
and I fell out of bed twice
you can pin and mount me like a butterfly
but take me to the haven of your bed
was something that you never said
two lumps, please
you're the bee's knees
but so am I

Meet me at the fountain
shove me on the patio
I'll take it slowly

Fifteen minutes with you
oh I wouldn't say no
people see no worth in you
oh but I do

Rubber ring

A sad fact widely known
the most impassionate song
To a lonely soul
Is so easily outgrown
But don't forget the songs
That made you smile
And the songs that made you cry
When you lay in awe
On the bedroom floor
(It's a dull world) smother me mother..."
The passing of time
And of all its crimes
Is making me sad again
The passing of time
And all of its sickening crimes
Is making me sad again
But don't forget the songs
That made you cry
And the songs that saved your life
Yes, you're older now
And you're a cleaver swine
But they were the only ones who ever stood by you
The passing of time leaves empty lives
Waiting to be filled
The passing of time
And all of it's sickening crimes
Is making me sad again
I'm here with a cause
I'm holding a torch
In the corner of your room
Can you hear me ?
And when you're dancing and laughing
And finally living
Hear my voice in your head
And think of me kindly

Do you
Love me like you used to ?

Rusholme ruffians

The last night at the fair
by the big wheel generator
a boy is stabbed
and his money is grabbed
and the air hangs heavy like a dulling wine
she is famous
she is funny
an engagement ring
doesn't mean a thing
to a mind consumed by brass (money)
and though I walk home alone
my faith in love is still devout
the last night at the fair
from a seat on a whirling waltzer
her skirt ascends for a watching eye
it's a hideous trait( on her mother's side)
and though I walk home alone
my faith in love is still devout
then someone falls in love
and someone's beaten up
and the senses being dulled are mine
and someone falls in love
someone's beaten up
and the senses being dulled are mine
and though I walk home alone
my faith in love is still devout
this is the last night of the fair
and the grease in the hair
of a speedway operator
is all a tremulous heart requires
a schoolgirl is denied
she said "How quickly would I die
if I jumped from the top of the parachutes ?"

scratch my name on your arm with a fountain pen
(this means you really love me)
