Mr Jones 04:37
Monday morning get your papers out on the desk Sharpen pencils, come on buddy, you can be the best Get ready for the rush But it's just another awful hush Maybe someone somewhere tying to reach you If there's a problem maybe they can't get through Check the phone, there's a dial tone there Could be the fault's elsewhere? Does it make you sad Mr Jones that no one phones You think they're laughing at you From Mr Jones Savings and Loans down the avenue Oh Mr Jones you could make their dream come true So Mr Jones don't despair someone will care you just wait and see Nobody every wrote a song like this for me Oh Mr Jones you have our sympathy She only ever buys one pint of milk a week And he loves it when he hears her speak "Do you have that magazine I ordered last week?" Oh his heart melts, it's just so sweet. Well yeah, maybe it's a little bit stalker like But you don't know how he's tried with all his might To go up to her and say hey, I'm Mr Jones and I'd like to keep you company tonight Does it make you sad Mr Jones she never phones She never talks to you She doesn't know who you are or what you do You could make her dreams come true If she took your hand maybe she'd understand You could be the one she can rely on Your interest rates are up but your payments down You could take away her frown How does this story end? I don't really know Maybe she loved him, maybe he's all alone, I just wish the best for Mr Jones I guess it's up to you, it's not for me to say You make your own minds up, you end it your way But remember, if you need savings and loans Then please please Call Mr Jones....

Happy Days 04:13
When the sun is shining down and its feeling like Saturday morning Get up and put your best foot out and try not to trip over everything's Great now, everything's good now and there's a feeling that it's going to be a... Brand new happy you, friends taking time to see the smile on your face It's been lost in time and space and only you can know That everything could be just how it was before So take a look outside your window Don't be scared just ask what you're living for There's so much outside the door Just be brave, the papers want you to be always afraid Always a A little tumbleweed, tumbling wherever wind carries you A beautiful tumbleweed, tumbling wherever you can go Be that little tumbleweed, tumbling wherever you want to But there's only two stops left on the ticket Time keep on calling, in it to win it, Waiting for someone to give you a

We love those Hollywood girls They've got the best surgeons in the world Air brushed they look so fine Worth a fortune and that's just in silicon I love that last film you did you were so fantastic My Lady Plastic They say that you're just 13 but you look like 40 and that's your magic We don't have to worry now we know you'll float somehow You're elastic I like to see how you shine in the sun I'm your number one fan My Lady Plastic All smile while the cameras roll Might be a bitch but no one will ever know I'll thank god, my ma and pa, And thank god I slept with the producer I love that last film you did you were so fantastic My Lady Plastic Wood never looked so good, well mine never did and that's your magic We don't have to worry now we know you'll float somehow You're elastic I like to see how you shine in the sun I'm your number one fan My Lady Plastic

Break You 03:20
Put the lights out rest your head Because the days been far too long And the next one's coming round and it really could be The perfect day, you'll win the lottery And have a million new friends And parties and dancing and drinking and laughing and everything's just so incredibly perfect But oh Here comes the brand new day And it really looks the same as the one that went away With clouds hanging like louts at the corner hoodies up So run past real quick And don't let the world hold you down at the shoulders Don't let it take away Your hopes, your dreams Your endless optimistic nature Don't let them break you down Don't let them turn you around Don't let them own you How do you raise your head when the weight of the world is bearing down And they say It could be you But it won't be Selling hope, for a small fee It's just the same old fantasy Wake up in reality With your hopes, your dreams Your endless optimistic nature Don't let them break you down Don't let them turn you around Don't let them Break the wings of the dove so you can't fly any more Tie the hands that were held out to you Keep the promise out of reach It's just adverts selling sand Slips through your fingers and down to the ground Stumbling round So lay your head down, Sleep real tight because it Doesn't matter tonight Tomorrow everything will be great It doesn't matter tonight.

Poison 03:18
It's poison, it'll kill you It's poison, it's gonna kill you This shit'll really kill you that's running through your veins Marijuana coke and ecstasy This shit'll really kill you that's running through your veins Vodka crack and cranberry All the things we had forgotten, given up and forsaken They wouldn't kill you but they might just hake you feel alive

Really sorry but you'll have to listen for the lyrics, they were improvised on the spot!

How do you sell a song That's easy just wear a thong Write a chorus with a simple singalong And if you're not too buff we'll teach you how to strut your stuff Add some bling and some mirrored posturing And if you look like a man, try to sing like a girl We'll get you topless in every bedroom round the world Talk about money Talk about cars Just don't mention anything of relevance Bet you couldn't with your clothes on Bet you couldn't at 25 stone I bet you couldn't with your clothes on Bet you couldn't with MTV gone Trust your manager just do what he says, Trust the producer that's where the talent is Talk like you come from the Bronx It doesn't matter that you've always lived in afluance It's all an illusion we create It sells more songs if people can relate So learn to mime and to gyrate in time Remember these rules and you'll be just fine Bet you couldn't with your clothes on Bet you couldn't at 25 stone I bet you couldn't with your clothes on Bet you couldn't with MTV gone I'm authentic in my new video I'm a romantic oh They dress me up and make me trip and oh my god I'm perfection yo The real me is on the floor in the cutting room don't you know? I am happy I am sad I have every emotion to show Love me love me love me love me love me love me do Love me love me love me love me love me love me do Bet you couldn't with your clothes on Bet you couldn't at 25 stone I bet you couldn't with your clothes on Bet you couldn't with MTV gone

All the girls in the corner are standing hand in hand Well they know all the words but they don't understand And the guys are all watching the ladies get their groove They might even make a move... Oh it's what you get At the cattle market The girls and boys are drinking The brave ones started winking Happy hour's in flow only one way this can go The girls go back and forth so the boys think they're hot Never ask a name they all sound the same Oh it's what you get At the cattle market

Doesn't like being called a racist Just because he doesn't like other races It's not hard for you to understand Only Engerlish in Engerland It's not so much the colour of the skin But do they have to let the whole rainbow in? Maybe his great great gran was a krout But I'm English now and there's no doubt Let's build a wall, let's segregate Forget love, remember hate Stand alone, ignore them all Almost great, now just small Didn't bother to check the news Just drank in a racist billionaires views The ironic democracy Celebrates under pictures of a monarchy Let's run away, let's go and hide Wash our hands of wasted pride Worship the past, an empire gone Colonial minds were always wrong Lay out your bunting, trample it down Trample it down We've all lost something You didn't even know what it was about United no more Kingdom no more Should have learnt, now it's too late Forgot love Remembered hate

Tickets 03:26
He's got style, He's got money He's got his Converse All Stars from 1984 Here's got his cellophane honey Everybody wants to know him Everybody wants to be him Wants to be truly universally adored And he stares down from pictures on her wall Watching everything she does Through those dreamy swimming pool eyes He's the hopes and dreams of a million teens He could be their paradise So nice with a photoshoped face He could be the ticket out of this place When he walks it's with a swagger Well he styled his look on every single mod he ever saw And Mick Jagger Everybody loves it when he dances off beat They can see it in his face and it makes them feel complete And all the girls scream and all the boys dream Of being like him, of being with him And he stares up from pictures drawn on books Watching everything they do from those crazy blue biro eyes Well he's the dirty dream of a million teens and their mums He could be their paradise If he only lived around this place He could put the smile back on her face And he stares down from pictures on her wall Watching everything she does Through those dreamy swimming pool eyes He's the hopes and dreams of a million teens He could be their paradise So nice with a photoshoped face He could be the ticket out of this place

Hello my friend, it's been a while Enough time for water under the bridge I guess Are you still getting high? Me not so much I like to be straight in the day (for a bit) And do you talk to anyone about when you were young? Because you can't let the past burn your future And the scars you hid so well But I could always see right through So sit a while, let's reminisce Through rose tinted glasses, happy days, did they exist? And I still recall how we watched you fall We should have caught you And there was no time for goodbye Yeah we had to get out quick Saw the world getting smaller in the mirror Yeah we ran from all of it And hand on your heart Would you say you'd do it different now? And hand on my heart We would still screw it up somehow But we're different now, older and wiser Different now, we should know better So come on, tell me now How everything's better, how everything's fine And I want to hear the stories of what you've been getting up to The scrapes, the japes, the Why you looking so sad? And hand on your heart Would you say you'd do it different now? And hand on my heart We would still screw it up somehow But we're different now, older and wiser Different now, we should know better Where do we go now we've talked about it? Stopped living in the past? The doors are open you just walk right through Should have known it wouldn't last And hand on your heart Would you say you'd do it different now? And hand on my heart We would still screw it up somehow But we're different now, older and wiser Different now, we should know better

Blind Legacy 03:29
You always wanted to be like them You always wanted to talk like them You always wanted to be one of the crowd brainwashed and proud And saying This is what we believe in And this is hope that we're selling Don't have to think for yourself don't ask questions We'll tell you who to love and... Who we're hating today Who we're throwing away You take your orders from Santa Clause Some bearded dude you made up of course Morality from ancient texts written by sects Paranoid ghosts keep telling us Who we're killing today Who got in your way Who did you burn today? Who did you take away? So you look for answers from the loudest voice And the biggest crowd is always your first choice But realistically speaking we're all going to be resigned to footnotes in history So you take the smooth and you make it rough It's like we don't have problems enough And a wise man once said something You've forgotten and probably never really understood It should be live and learn but it's live and die There's no rhyme or reason, no telling why And unfortunately we're destined to be wiped out by our own stupidity
