TRASH
Maybe maybe it's the clothes we wear,
The tasteless races and the dye in our hair,
Maybe it's our cookieness,
Maybe maybe it's our nowhere towns,
Our nothing places and our cellophane selves,
Maybe it's our wholesomeness,
And we're trash you and me,
We're the litter on the breeze,
We're the lovers on the streets,
Just trash me and you,
It's in everything we do
It's in everything we do
Oh maybe maybe it's the things we say,
The words we've heard and the music we play,
Maybe it's our genus,
Oh maybe maybe it's the times we've had,
The lazy days and the crazes and the fads,
Maybe it's our sweetness,
And we're trash you and me
We're the litter on the breeze
We're the lovers on the streets
Just trash me and you
It's in everything we do
It's in everything we do...
FILMSTAR
Filmstar, propping up the bar, driving in a car, it looks so easy,
Filmstar, propping up the bar, driving in a car tonight,
Filmstar, giving it class, living it fast, it looks so easy,
Filmstar, giving it class, living it fast tonight.
What to believe in, it№s impossible to say?
What to believe in when they change your name,
wash your brain, play the game again, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Filmstar, elegance, a terylene shirt, it looks so easy,
Filmstar, an elegant sir in a terylene shirt tonight,
Filmstar, propping up the bar, driving in a car, it looks so easy,
Filmstar, propping up the bar, driving in a car tonight.
What to believe in, it№s impossible to say?
What to believe in when they change your name,
wash your brain, play the game again,
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
LAZY
Here they come with their make-up on
as lovely as the clouds, come and see them,
Boys and girls and their mums and their words
and their romances and jobs and their sons,
Barking mad kids, lonely dads
who drug it up to give it some meaning,
From the raves to the council estates
theyґre reminding us thereґs things to be done.
But you and me, all we want to be is lazy,
you and me, so lazy...
Here they come gone 7am
getting satellite and Sky getting cable,
Bills and Bens and their mums and their friends
who just really, really want to be loved,
Uncle Teds and their legendary vests
helping out around the disabled,
From the flats and the maisonettes
they№re reminding us there№s things to be done.
But you and me, all we want to be is lazy,
you and me, so lazy...
Itґs you and me, itґs you and me, you and me...
BY
THE SEA
She can walk out anytime, anytime she wants to walk out, that№s fine,
She can walk out anytime, anytime she feels that life has passed her by,
And when I start my new life I won№t touch the ground,
I№m gonna try hard this time not to touch the ground.
He can walk out anytime, anytime he wants to walk out, that№s fine,
He can walk out anytime, across the sand, into the sea, into the brine,
And when I start my new life I won№t touch the ground,
I№m gonna try hard this time not to touch the ground.
So we sold the car and quit the job
and shook some hands and wiped the make-up right off,
And we said our good-byes to the bank
left Seven Sisters for a room in a seaside shack,
And when I start my new life I won№t touch the ground,
I№m gonna try hard this time not to touch the groundЉ
...it№s by the sea we№ll breed
...into the sea we№ll bleed...
SHE
She, walking like a killer,
She, another night another pillow.
Nowhere places, nowhere faces, no one wants to see,
No education, itґs the arse of the nation,
She is bad, she is bored, she is bony, she is...
She, sh-shaking up the karma,
She, injecting marijuana,
Nowhere places, nowhere faces, no one wants to see,
No education itґs the arse of the nation,
She is bad, she is bored, she is bony, she is...
she...
Nowhere faces, nowhere places, no one wants to be,
No stimulation in this privatisation,
She is bad, she is bored, she is bony, she is she.
BEAUTIFUL
ONES
High on diesel and gasoline, psycho for drum machine
shaking their bits to the hits,
Drag acts, drug acts, suicides, in your dad№s suits you hide
staining his name again,
Cracked up, stacked up, 22, psycho for sex and glue
lost it to Bostik, yeah,
Shaved heads, rave heads, on the pill, got too much time to kill
get into bands and gangs,
Oh, here they come, the beautiful ones, the beautiful ones
loved up, Doved up, hung around, stoned in a lonely town
shaking their meat to the beat,
High on diesel and gasoline, psycho for drum machine
shaking their bits to the hits,
Oh, here they come, the beautiful ones, the beautiful ones.
You donґt think about it,
You donґt do without it,
because youre beautiful,
And if your babyґs going crazy
that№s how you made me,
la, la, la, la...
STARCRAZY
Sheґs a star, starcrazy, electric-shock-bog-brush-hair,
Flat on her back in the 80ґs, in the 90ґs going nowhere,
Star, starcrazy, got a kicking transistor inside,
A heavy metal stutter that brains me,
and an electric love in her eyes,
Oh, she don№t want education,
She got nothing to say,
She got no imagination (so they say)
Why does she feel this way?
Cos sheґs star, starcrazy, getting stupid on the streets tonight,
and shaking like a mechanical thing
with an electric love in her eyes,
Oh, she donґt want education,
She got nothing to say,
She got no imagination (so they say)
So why does she feel this way?
PICNIC
BY THE MOTORWAY
Iґm so sorry to hear about the news,
Donґt you worry,
Iґll buy us a bottle and weґll drink in the petrol fumes,
Iґm so sorry to hear about your world,
Donґt you worry,
Thereґs a gap in the fence down by the nature reserve,
Hey, such a lovely day, such a lovely day,
Such fun, looking at the lovers in a lay-by with my little one.
Iґm so sorry to hear the news today,
Donґt you worry,
Thereґs been a speeding disaster so we№ll go to the motorway,
Iґm so sorry to hear about the scene,
Donґt you worry,
Just put on your trainers and get out of it with me,
Hey, such a lovely day, such a lovely day,
Such fun, looking at the lovers in a lay-by with my little one.
Hey, such a lovely day, such a lovely day,
Such fun, looking at the lorries in the litter with my lovely one,
We could go dancing, we could go walking,
we could go shopping, we could keep talking,
we could go drinking, we could sit thinking,
we could go speeding, or we could go dreaming, see? oh hey...
THE
CHEMISTRY BETWEEN US
And maybe weґre just kids whoґve grown, and maybe not,
And maybe when weґre on our own, we donґt have much,
But oh, we are young and not tired of it,
Oh, we are young and easily lead,
Oh, with all the kids getting out of their heads.
Oh, Class A, Class B, is that the only chemistry?
Oh, Class A, Class B, is that the only chemistry between us?
And maybe weґre just Streatham trash, and maybe not,
And maybe weґre just capital flash in a stupid love,
But oh, we are young and not tired of it,
Oh we are young and easily lead,
Oh, by all the kids getting out of our heads.
Oh, Class A, Class B, is that the only chemistry?
Oh, Class A, Class B, is that the only chemistry between us?
