Punk Rock Saved My Life
02:20
|
|||
This boy looked at Johnny whilst eating his tea,
Hearing their words of anarchy,
They were all running rings round Bill Grundy,
Punk rock saved my life.
Listening to Peel to hear the new sounds,
Down to Rough Trade spending pocket money pounds
Pogo in the bedrooms crashing around,
Punk rock saved my life.
You’re never too young, you’re never too old,
Guitar, bass, drums, see what unfolds,
Do what you want, don’t do what you're told
Punk rock saved my life
Staying out late in underground clubs
Seeing great bands in backstreet pubs
Bumping into Charlie from the UK Subs
Punk rock saved my life
Yes that’s right, punk is dead
That’s what Steven Ignorant said
We’ll take it, keep it underground instead
Punk rock saved my life
You’re never too young, you’re never too old,
Guitar bass drums, see what unfolds,
Do what you want, don’t do what you're told
Punk rock saved my life
Together with my mates we’ll form a band
Meeting great people up and down the land
Punk rock and roll, we all understand
Punk rock saved my life
We play want we want and we play it proud
We’ll never fit in with the fashionable crowd
Coz we love our music and we love it loud
Punk rock saved my life
You’re never too young, you’re never too old,
Guitar bass drums, see what unfolds,
Do what you want, don’t do what you're told
Punk rock saved my life

Hate Me
02:21
|
|||
What is the colour of my skin
I'm colour blind, so where do I begin
Can you see what lies within
If you spoke to me, would it be a sin
Can you see inside my soul
Is it full of love or just an empty bowl
Am I friend or am I foe
You won't talk to me, so how would you know
How would you know
If you want to hate me
You can hate me
But hate me
For who I am, not what I am
I could be gay or straight
Wrong race or wrong religion
The choice to tolerate or hate is or decision
Those who manipulate will give you wrong information
So if you want to hate me, hate me for a reason.

Old Rosie

A vision of perfection,
You glitter and you’re golden,
I thought that we’d get right along,
To you I am beholden,
I can’t do this anymore,
I can’t do this any less,
you’re just so bad for me,
but my love I do confess.
Oh Rosie, Old Rosie.
You leave me such a mess,
Oh Rosie, Old Rosie,
You the cruellest mistress.
I hold you in my arms,
You’re cold to my touch,
I don’t think you care,
But I love you too much,
I give you all my soul,
I give you all my heart,
But you leave me in the morning,
Broken, falling apart.
Oh Rosie, Old Rosie.
You leave me such a mess,
Oh Rosie, Old Rosie,
You are the cruellest mistress.
Your taste is so sweet,
The consequences sour,
I ask for you in every bar,
In all my waking hours,
I’ve tried many others,
But it’s you that I crave,
Your love’s intoxicating,
And will take me to my grave.
Oh Rosie, Old Rosie.
You leave me such a mess,
Oh Rosie, Old Rosie,
You are the cruellest mistress

made In Britain

State of confusion
Where do we belong
Look through our history
Where did it go wrong
Another generation
Sings a different song
Cause our home from home
Has long gone.
They planted seeds
Put down roots
We have grown now
Bearing fruit
The landscapes different
But nothings changed
Look to the future
Turn the page.
I was made in Britain
What has Britain made of me
I was made in Britain
What has Britain made of me.
I still hear voices
Saying I should go
Back to my country
But I'm already home
Changing faces
Different races
The union flag is yours too.

Mind Games
02:10

No I won't play your mind games
You can't treat everyone the same
We are all individuals if I'm a fool then your insane
Sometimes there's sunshine sometimes rain
If it's my fault I'll take the blame
There are exceptions to the rule If I am Abel you are Kane Stereotypes
(mine's not right)
Hate is blind
(shine a light)
Live or die
(stand and fight)
You can't defeat us
Who's wrong who's right
Who's black who's white
Who's gay who's straight
Life's too short no time to waste
No I won't play your mind games
You can't treat everyone the same
we are all individuals
if I'm a fool then you're insane
if I am Abel you are Kane
no I won't play your mind games

Sometimes
02:37
|

Sometimes you do
Sometimes you don't
Sometimes you will
Sometimes you won't
And sometimes
I just get caught in the middle.
Sometimes it's yes
Sometimes it's no
Sometimes you stay
Sometimes you go
And sometimes
You answer questions with a riddle.
Sometimes, maybe, always baby
Sometimes, maybe, drive me crazy
Sometimes, I'm just crazy over you.
Sometimes your up
Sometimes your down
Sometimes your dizzy
From spinning around
And sometimes
I just get caught in the middle.
Sometimes your hot
Sometimes your cold
Sometimes I'm asked
Sometimes I'm told
And sometimes
You answer questions with a riddle.

Waking The Dead
01:52
|
|||
I’m trying to wake the dead
Something’s not right
I’m trying to wake the dead
I’ve tried all night
I’m trying to wake the dead
I don’t feel alive
I’m trying to wake the dead
It just won’t rise
I’ve tried, you’ve tried, we’ve all tried,
But I can’t raise the dead
I’ve tried, you’ve tried, we’ve all tried,
But there’s no waking the dead,
Waking the Dead!
I’m trying to wake the dead
Had too much brew
I’m trying to wake the dead
So why can’t you?
I’m trying to wake the dead
It’s not appealing
I’m trying to wake the dead
No sense, no feeling.
I’ve tried, you’ve tried, we’ve all tried,
But I can’t raise the dead
I’ve tried, you’ve tried, we’ve all tried,
But there’s no waking the dead,
Waking the Dead!
I’m trying to wake the dead
Don’t know what’s wrong
I’m trying to wake the dead
It won’t respond
I’m trying to wake the dead
Might sleep instead
I’m trying to wake the dead
Or you can use your head
I’ve tried, you’ve tried, we’ve all tried,
But I can’t raise the dead
I’ve tried, you’ve tried, we’ve all tried,
But there’s no waking the dead,
Waking the Dead!
I’m trying to wake the dead
Something’s not right
I’m trying to wake the dead
I’ve tried all night
I’m trying to wake the dead
Something’s not right
I’m trying to wake the dead
I’ve tried all night

The Jam Generation
In common rooms around the land
Teenage rebellion?
Or just failing to understand
You have intellect
Cannot comprehend the words
Bullingdon Eton Rifles
It’s completely absurd
And heaven knows
You’ll make us all miserable now
New brand of snake oil
Getting sold to us by Mail
For you and your pals
It’s just one long Happy Hour
The irony gets lost
Now your grasping hands have
power.
You’ll never understand
So stop listening
You'll never do without
So stop listening

All Day Drinking Song
02:28
|

I drink to remember
I drink to forget
I drink to reminisce
I drink to regret
I drink to feel better
I drink I feel worse
My drinking’s a blessing
My drinking’s a curse
I drink to get sober
I drink to get drunk
I drink coz it’s normal
I drink coz it’s punk
I drink I’ve nothing left
I drink it’s all I’ve got
I drink because I am
I drink because I’m not
I drink I drink I drink I drink I drink I drink I drink
I drink I drink I drink I drink I drink I drink I drink
I drink to feel young
I drink I feel old
I drink to warm up
I drink to get cold
I drink because it’s clever
I drink because it’s dumb
I drink so I can feel things
I drink to make me numb
I drink it makes me ugly
I drink it makes me handsome
I drink to make me weaker
I drink, stronger than Samson
I drink and I feel rich
I drink it makes me poor
I drink I’m on the ceiling
I drink flat on the floor
I drink I drink I drink I drink I drink I drink I drink
I drink I drink I drink I drink I drink I drink I drink
I drink and I feel healthy
I drink and I get sick
I drink I am so debonair
I drink I’m just a prick
I drink I’m full of happiness
I drink I’m full of sorrow
I drink I’ve not felt better
I drink I’ll die tomorrow
I drink I drink I drink I drink I drink I drink I drink
I drink I drink I drink I drink I drink I drink I drink
I drink I drink I drink I drink I drink I drink I drink
I drink I drink I drink I drink I drink I drink I drink

London Town
02:25
|
|||
I was born in the city
Learned to walk, stand and fight
I grew up in the city
Learned to love, laugh and cry
I went to school in the city
Learned to read between the lines
I work in the city
Trying to keep my dreams alive
I've been to country
I've been to the beach
Everywhere I go
I take the city with me
In my heart, in my mind
In the air that I breathe
Every waking hour
In my sleep and in my dreams
I belong to London town
Sink or swim, float or drown
I belong to London town
Lifts me up, pulls me down
It's hot in the city
Because the city's on fire
No trust in the city
Because the city's full of liars
Take a bus through the city
And its a beautiful place
A wrong turn in the city
You can be lost without a trace

Mummy's Boy

You don't always get what you want,
Don't always want what you get,
That's the way life deals the cards,
Place your bets.
You don't always get what you need,
You don't always need what you want,
But you’re just a spoilt little rich kid,
You’re never satisfied,
Never satisfied
Mummies Boy
You went to the very best school,
You were given all the right tools,
Even when strings were pulled,
You still came out a fool,
Daddy got you your first job,
You got a leg up, straight to the top,
Now you’re in charge of everything,
What have you achieved not a lot?
Mummy’s boy
Fuck off leaves us alone go play with your toys
Mummy’s boy
Fuck off leave us alone.
Power and status is what crave,
For greed and profit you will betray,
We're working class we're not your slaves.
