So what's the point of thinking deep I bite my nails and I'm losing sleep Goes round and round and will never halt It's all gone wrong and it's all my fault I used the sugar when I needed salt Things ain't cooking for me, as you see
I need a laugh so I take a drink Ain't it strange how they start to shrink I swig a river and I cry a lake It's all gone wrong and it's my mistake I wanted tremor but I got earthquake Things ain't going my way, not today
I'm sitting on a one way train You say I'm heading for an early grave There goes anxiety my favorite station And here comes panic and palpitation
I get frustrated 'cos I need a break But when it comes along you know I'll take I've never eaten from the hand of fate It's all gone wrong but it's not too late I needed love but all I got was hate Things ain't down to a tee, believe me
I'm sitting on a one way train You say I'm heading for an early grave There goes anxiety my favorite station And here comes panic and palpitation
I saw the doctor 'cos I'm feeling stress "Hop on the couch" he said, "and get undressed" He shook his head and said "the futures bleak" It's getting worse and I ain't hit my peak I want to shout but I can't even speak Things can't get any worse, where's the hearse?

** Do Nothing ***
Each Day I walk along this lonely street Trying to find, find a future New pair of shoes are on my feet Cos' fashion is my only culture
Nothing ever change, oh no Nothing ever change
People say to me just be yourself It makes no sense to follow fashion How could I be anybody else I don't try, I've got no reason
Nothing ever change, oh no Nothing ever change
I'm just living in a life without meaning I walk and walk, do nothing I'm just living in a life without feeling I talk and talk, say nothing
Nothing ever change, oh no Nothing ever change
I walk along this same old lonely street Still trying to find, find a reason Policeman comes and smacks me in the teeth I don't complain, it's not my function
Nothing ever change, oh no Nothing ever change
They're just living in a life without meaning I walk and walk, do nothing They're just playing in a life without thinking They talk and talk, say nothing I'm just living in a life without feeling I walk and walk, I'm dreaming I'm just living in a life without feeling I talk and talk, say nothing I'm just living in a life without meaning I walk and walk, do nothing
*** Enjoy yourself ***
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink The years go by, as quickly as you wink Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Hello, I'm Terry, and I'm going to enjoy myself first
It's good to be wise when you're young 'Cos you can only be young but the once Enjoy yourself and have lots of fun So glad and live life longer than you've ever done
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink The years go by, as quickly as you wink Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Never right, yes I know Get wisdom, knowledge and understanding These three, were given free by the maker Go to school, learn the rules, don't be no faker It's not wise for you to be a foot stool
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink The years go by, as quickly as you wink Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink The years go by, as quickly as you wink Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
*** Fantasize ***
Got this funny feeling going through my head That if I go down to the pub I might just end up in bed With a blond or a brunette or a red head or two But oh what am I saying that'll never happen to you
Can this be right? Can this be wrong? Doing what I'm doing all night long I love to brag, I love to boast And all the lads in the pub think I've had the most
You see 'cos I just love to fantasize All these thoughts I've got inside It can't be healthy what I'm doing I'd like to get them out my head Before I go blind in my bed
Time to change is days and she's heading for you She knows just what she wants and she knows what to do She drags you back to her place step over the toys The baby-sitters sleeping so we can't make much noise
It's been so long, I won't go fast Ejaculation, celebration here at last Pig in shit, cat and the cream I open up my eyes, but It's another wet dream
You see 'cos I just love to fantasize All these thoughts I've got inside It can't be healthy what I'm doing I'd like to get them out my head Before I go blind in my bed
I've had this funny feeling lying in my bed Someone's spreading rumours down the King's Head But I've got this reputation and I can't stop it now I'd like to be in heaven but this feels like hell
Can this be right? Can this be wrong? Doing what I'm doing all night long I love to brag, I love to boast And all the lads in the pub think I've had the most
You see 'cos I just love to fantasize I close my eyes she's always there Why am I living this nightmare? She's a darling in my eyes But I just love to fantasize
You see 'cos I just love to fantasize On my bed I always lie Same old blue book in my hand To the pictures I relate Is this my world is this my fate?
*** Fearful ***
Come let me tell you about the shotguns of Hillfields Let me tell you about the stenguns of Knightsbridge Let me tell you about the Moss Side barretta Let me tell you about the windows of my house
I'm not afraid of being afraid, I'm only fearful I'm not afraid of being afraid, I'm only fearful
Let me tell you about the bombs in the Arndale Let me tell you about the Welling election Let me tell you about the black church burning Let me tell you about the bat by my front door
I'm not afraid of being afraid, I'm only fearful I'm not afraid of being afraid, I'm only fearful
Don't talk to strangers Bolt your front door, don't make eye contact Buy a crook lock, wear your flak vest to the supermarket
It makes me shudder when I read the newspaper Have a career, learn to breed paranoia Me keep a watching on the rear view mirror Me no tell you where I keep my revolver
Come let me tell you about the security systems Let me tell you about the video surveillance Let me tell you about my new rotweiller Welcome to the siege mentality
I'm not afraid of being afraid, I'm only fearful I'm not afraid of being afraid, I'm only fearful I'm not afraid of being afraid, I'm only fearful I'm not afraid of being afraid, I'm only fearful Fearful, fearful, fearful
*** Gangsters ***
Bernie Rhodes knows don't argue
Why must you record my phone calls? Are you planning a bootleg L.P.? Said you've been threatened by gangsters Now it's you that's threatening me.
You can't fight corruption with con-tricks, They use the law to commit crime, I dread to think what the future will bring, When we're living in real gangster time.
"Don't call me scar face!"
Don't interrupt while I'm talking, Or they'll confiscate all your guitars, And catch twenty-two says if I sing the truth, They won't make me an overnight star.
Don't offer us legal protection, They use the law to commit crime, I dread to think what the future will bring, When we're living in real gangster time.
Bernie Rhodes knows don't argue

This town, is coming like a ghost town This town, is coming like a ghost town This town, is coming like a ghost town This town, is coming like a ghost town
*** Hey, Little Rich Girl ***
Mum bought you a fur coat when you were fifteen You wore it to the disco, but everyone was in jeans
But you were a rich girl, and only having fun Your low cut dresses, brought stares from everyone Hey, little rich girl where did you go wrong?
You left for London, when you were nineteen Had to pawn all your nice clothes, just living on dreams A man in the bright lights took all that you own Now he's taken your freedom for a fate unknown
But you were a rich girl, hardly having fun Your worn out dresses, brought stares from everyone Hey, little rich girl where did you go wrong?
Hey, little rich girl you've been away for so long And now little rich girl, my words are in this song Hey, little rich girl my love for you is gone And now little rich girl, I know where you went wrong
At your dad's office party all the movies were blue Caused him so much heart ache, because the screen star was you You left for London, when you were nineteen Had to pawn all your nice clothes, but you were living on dreams
You were a rich girl, and only having fun But your worn out dresses, brought stares from everyone Hey, little rich girl where did you go wrong? Hey, little rich girl where did you go wrong? Hey, little rich girl where did you go wrong?

Safety belts and sickness bags, jet lag downer pills duty free booze and fags make me feel ill A vapour trail from A to B, away from normal sanity It all seems so absurd to me
I've seen the carpets on the walls of hotels rooms around the world I never want to hear the screams of the teenage girls in other peoples dreams
Spread the disease, from the south China sea To the beach hotel Malibu Phone my girlfriend to ask her "How's her weekend?" I say "Hi, Terry here", and she says "Terry who, the hell are you?"
The businessmen are having fun are they on a different plane to me I've lost touch with reality, they all seem so absurd to me Like well dressed chimpanzees
Spend and spend and spend and spend Will the muzak never end?

*** Place In Life ***
Now Jack and Jill went up the hill to join the Labour right They couldn't pay the water bills, but that was alright They thought they'd get a buzz from being a member of the party So they could crash the ballot box, but that's another story
All I wanna be, something plain to see Nothing special but just a priority Just step back and see it's not the way to be You've got to find a place in life
A nursery rhyme is really like a politicians speech Makes as much sense as counting pebbles on a beach And if you don't believe me, then check the manifesto Just blah blah blah, and blah blah blah, the truth I don't think so
All I wanna be, something plain to see Nothing special but just a priority Just step back and see it's not the way to be You've got to find a place in life

I went out shopping last saturday I was getting some gear, and this guy offered to pay Who's the hunk? I think to myself For so many years I've been left on the shelf An old boiler
Then we went walking back down the high street And I felt so proud because he looked so neat He was a real hard man, tough as they come He said I was cool but I still felt like An old boiler
He bid me "Come out", how could I say no? He said "Meet me at eight round my place, you know" With my new gear on, and a blow dried hair-do But in my mind I knew I was sill An old boiler
We danced all night long to a nice steady beat But my hair went to frizz in the terrible heat My mascara ran, and so did my tights Confirming in my sight, I must be An old boiler
So we came out this club, hot and sweaty Because we'd been dancing all night And he says to me "Well babe, what you doing then?" "Well I think I might get a cab" I said casually "Nah nah, come back to my place, I only live just round the corner You can go home in the morning, yeah?" "Well I don't think so, I've only known you a day, It's a bit soon innit Give me a ring sometime yeah?" But then he starts to get mad "Listen here girl, I bought that gear you got on, I paid you in here tonight I bought you all them drinks and you wanna go home, I should bleedin coco" And then he stormed off
Well, I felt a right mug, well you would wouldn't you So I ran after him, caught him up And here we are walking down this street about a hundred miles per hour Arm in arm, no talking, atmosphere you could have cut with a knife
There's no-one about, nothing to take your mind off it you know No cars, not even the occasional stray animal It was cold and the wind's whistling through the tree's Blowing newspapers accross my legs so I tripped as I tried to keep up withhim And there was all these alleyways and railway bridges, the stink of piss
The all of a sudden he grabbed hold of my arm And he starts to drag me up one of these alleyways Then he starts to hit me really hard across the face, you know He was hitting me and grabbing at me It was awful because he was, like, so big Hitting me he was, and tearing at my clothes There was nothing I could do honest, I was helpless And then he tried to rape me, and there was nothing I could do, honest All I could do was scream, no...
