@SONG: Piccadilly Palare

     Off the rails I was and
     off the rails
     I was happy to stay
     GET OUT OF MY WAY
     on the rack I was
     "easy Meat
     but a reasonably good buy
     a reasonably good buy
     the Piccadilly palare
     was just a silly slang
     between me and the boys in my gang
     "so bona to vada, OH YOU
     your lovely eek and
     your lovely riah
     We plied an ancient trade
     where we threw all life's
     instructions away
     exchanging lies and digs (my way)
     well, in a belted coat
     oh I secretly knew
     that I hadn't a clue
     the Piccadilly palare
     was just a silly slang
     between me and the boys in my gang
     exchanging palare
     you wouldn't understand
     good sons like you
     NEVER DO
     So why do you smile
     when you thing about Earls Court?
     but you cry when you think of all
     the battles you've fought (and lost)?
     it may all end tomorrow
     or, it could go on forever
     (in which case; I'm doomed)
     it could go on forever

@SONG: Interesting Drug

     There are some bad people on the rise
     there are some bad people on the rise
     they're saving their own skins by
     ruining people's lives
     bad, bad people on the rise
     Young married couple in debt
     - ever felt had?
     young married couple in debt
     - ever felt had?
     on a government scheme
     designed to kill your dream
     oh mum, oh dad
     once poor - always poor
     la la la la
     interesting drug
     the one that you took
     God, it really really helped you
     I wonder why you're only half-ashamed?
     "Because ENOUGH is TOO MUCH!
     and look around...
     ...can you blame us? CAN you blame us?

@SONG: November Spawned A Monster

     Sleep on and dream of Love
     because it's the closest you will get to love
     poor twisted child
     so ugly, so ugly
     poor twisted child
     oh hug me, oh hug me
     one November
     spawned a monster
     in the shape of this child
     who later cried
     "But Jesus made me, so
     Jesus save me from
     pity, sympathy
     and people discussing me
     a frame of useless limbs
     what can make GOOD
     all the BAD that's been done?
     And if the lights were out
     could you even bear
     to kiss her full on the mouth
     (or anywhere?)
     poor twisted child
     so ugly, so ugly
     poor twisted child
     oh hug me, oh hug me
     one November
     spawned a monster
     in the shape of this child
     who must remain
     a hostage to kindess 
     and the wheels underneath her
     a hostage to kindess
     and the wheels underneath her
     a symbol of where mad, mad lovers
     must PAUSE and draw the line
     So sleep and dream of love
     because it's the closest 
     you will get to love
     that November
     is a time
     which I must
     put OUT of my mind
     oh one fine day
     LET IT BE SOON
     she won't be rich or beautiful
     but she'll be walking your streets
     in the clothes that she went out
     and chose for herself

@SONG: Will Never Marry

     I'm writing this to say
     in a gentle way
     Thank You - but no
     I will live my life as I
     will undoubtedly die - alone
     I'm writing this to say
     in a gentle way
     Thank you...
     I will live my life as I...
     for whether you stay
     or you stray
     an inbuilt guilt catches up with you
     and as it comes around to your place
     at 5 a.m. it wakes you up
     and laughs in your face

@SONG: Such A Little Thing Makes Such A Big Difference

     Such a little thing
     such a little thing
     but the difference it made was grave
     there you go
     wielding a bicycle chain
     oh why won't you change
     cange and be nicer?
     such a little thing
     a gentle tone of kindness
     or written words on paper
     - can you write?
     How I love all of
     the very simple things of life
     (God's good air)
     how I love all of
     the very simple things of life
     such a little thing
     a fumbling politeness
     the difference it saved me
     wielding a bicycle chain
     "I WILL NOT CHANGE
     AND I WILL NOT BE NICE
     Most people keep their brains
     between your legs
     (don't you find?)
     Leave me alone - I was only singing
     leave me alone because
     I was only singing
     leave me alone - I was only singing
     leave me alone
     you have just proved (again)
     MOST PEOPLE KEEP THEIR BRAINS
     BETWEEN THEIR LEGS

@SONG: The Last of the Famous International Playboys

     Dear hero imprisoned
     with all the new crimes that you are perfecting
     oh I can't help quoting you
     because everything that you said rings true
     and now in my cell
     (well, I followed you)
     and here's a list of who I slew
     Roger Kray - do you know my name?
     don't say you don't 
     please say you do, I am:
     the last of the famous
     international playboys
     the last of the famous
     international playboys
     and now in my cell
     (well, I loved you)
     every man with a job to do
     Ronnie Kray - do you know my face?
     don't say you don't
     please say you do, I am:
     the last of the famous
     international playboys
     the last of the famous
     international playboys
     In our lifetime those who kill
     the newsworld hands them stardom
     and these are the ways
     on which I was raised
     these are the ways
     on which I was raised
     but I never wanted to kill
     I'M NOT NATURALLY EVIL
     such things I do
     just to make myself
     more attractive to you
     HAVE I FAILED?

@SONG: Ouija Board, Ouija Board

     Ouija board
     would you work for me?
     I have got to say Hello
     to an old friend
     Ouija board, ouija board
     would you work for me?
     I have got to get through
     to a good friend
     She has now gone
     from this Unhappy Planet
     with all the carnivores
     and the destructors on it
     ouija board, ouija board
     would you help me
     because I still do feel
     so horribly lonely
     would you, ouija board
     would you, ouija board
     would you help me
     because I just can't find
     my place in this world
     she has now gone
     from this Unhappy Planet
     with all the carnivores
     and the destructors on it
     Oh hear my voice ("hear my voice")
     oh hear my voice ("hear my voice")
     The table is rumbling...
     the table is rumbling
     the glass is moving
     "No, I was NOT pushing that time
     it spells S.T.E.V.E.N.
     the table is rumbling

@SONG: He Knows I'd Love To See Him

He Knows (he knows)
Or, I think he does
because when I lived 
in the Arse of the world...
     he knows, he knows
     he knows I'd love
     to see him happy
     (or as close as is allowed)
     because when I lived
     in the Arse of the world
     he knows, he knows
     he knows I'd love
     to see him happy
     (or as close as possible
     as close as possible
     as close as is allowed)
     My name still conjours up deadly deeds
     and a bad taste in the mouth
     the police - they actually knew me
     they said:
     "You're just another person in the world
     you're just another fool with radical views
     you're just another who has maddening views
     you want to turn it on its head
     by staying in bed!
     I said: "I know I do

@SONG: Yes, I am Blind

     Yes, I am blind
     no, I can't see
     the good things
     just the bad things
     Yes, I am blind
     no, I can't see
     there must be something
     horribly wrong with me?
     Love's youg dream
     I'm the one who shopped you
     I'm the one who stopped you
     'cause in my sorry way I love you
     Love's young dream
     aren't you sorry
     for what you've done?
     well, you're not the only one
     and in my sorry way I love you
     Yes, I am blind
     but I do see
     Evil people prosper
     over the likes of you and me
     ALWAYS
     Little lamb
     on a hill
     run fast if you can
     good Christians
     want to KILL you
     and your live has not even begun!

@SONG: Lucky Lisp

     When your gift unfurls
     when your Talent becomes apparent
     I will roar from the stalls
     I will gurgle from the circle
     The Saints smile shyly
     down on you
     they couldn't get over
     your nine-leaved clover
     Lucky lisp was not wasted on you
     lucky lisp was not wasted on you
     When your name is with the best
     will my name be on your guest list?
     I will roar from the stalls
     oh the balcony fool was me, you fool
     Jesus made this all for you, love
     He couldn't get over
     your Grandma's omen
     Lucky lisp was not wasted on you
     lucky lisp was not wasted on you

@SONG: Disappointed

     Our unsleepable friend
     gets the message on an ill-wind
     'all your friends and your foes
     would rather die than have to touch you'
     TO SAY THE LEAST: truly disappointed
     truly, truly, truly
     Drank too much
     said too much
     and there's nowhere to go - but Down
     young boy - I wanna help you
     SEE THESE LINES?: truly disappointed
     truly, truly, truly
     Don't talk to me now
     about people who are "nice
     'cause I have spent my WHOLE LIFE
     in RUINS...
     because of people who were "nice
     This world may lack Style, I know
     but each bud must blossom and grow
     Young girl one day we really will be old
     but the thing is: I love you NOW
     This is the last song I will ever sing
     No I've changed my mind again
     GOODNIGHT
     AND THANK YOU
