Feeling alright on a Saturday night surrounded by the rest of the floor show
Then the lady said no go moving along to an anarchy song
Picking up my change and feeling kinda strange as I moved off to the small room
Just over by the side of the ballroom where you can talk all night with any stranger in sight
JJJJenny she's got nothing to say JJJJenny she's a part of today
JJJJenny says there's better to come she can show Iggy got it wrong with no fun
JJJJenny she's got nothing to say JJJJenny she's a part of today
JJJJenny says there's better to come she can show Iggy got it wrong with no fun
Underground passion puss moving in time new wave under age raver
Think it's too late to save her she said it ain't no crime to love two at a time
She headed off home all on her own without any explanation
Changed in the powder room at the station
So she wouldn't look strange at the labour exchange
JJJJenny she's got nothing to say JJJJenny she's a part of today
JJJJenny says there's better to come she can show Iggy got it wrong with no fun
JJJJenny she's got nothing to say JJJJenny she's a part of today
JJJJenny says there's better to come she can show Iggy got it wrong with no fun
Jenny?
C’est moi Jesse
Je t’aime beaucoup Jenny
Trop peut etre trop no non c’est impossible
JJJJenny she's got nothing to say JJJJenny she's a part of today
JJJJenny says there's better to come she can show Iggy got it wrong with no fun
JJJJenny she's got nothing to say JJJJenny she's a part of today
JJJJenny says there's better to come she can show Iggy got it wrong with no fun
JJJJenny she's got nothing to say JJJJenny she's a part of today
JJJJenny says there's better to come she can show Iggy got it wrong with no fun
JJJJenny she's got nothing to say JJJJenny she's a part of today

Teenage Treats
03:05
|
|||
Hanging round when everyone was at school - Kind of easy but nobody's fool
Slashed red lips a little bit green - What could you expect from a girl of sixteen
Careless love upon the floor - Sulphate school girl cry's for more
The more she wants the more she gets - Ripped and torn and soaking wet
Teenage treats - take them when you find them
Teenage treats - take them when you're down
Easy meats – take them and you grind them
Oh, Teenage treats - I gotta tell you about teenage treats
I’m going to sell you some teenage treats - They'll get you unwound
Another Saturday back on top - Ligging around the Oxfam shops
Grim decaying - Rows of streets - It's time you gave your nose a treat
Up and down to a Vortex band - Peroxide charms from a debut man
Pogo powder - Perfect bliss - Put me down for some of this
Ah, teenage treats - take them when you find them
Teenage treats - take them when you're down
Easy meats – take them and you grind them
Oh, Teenage treats - I gotta tell you about teenage treats
I’m going to sell you some teenage treats - They'll get you unwound
Up and down to a Vortex band - Peroxide charms from a debut man
Pogo powder - Perfect bliss - Put me down for some of this
Hanging round when everyone was at school - Kind of easy but nobody's fool
Slashed red lips a little bit green - What could you expect from a kid of sixteen
Careless love upon the floor - Sulphate school girl cry's for more
The more she wants the more she gets - Ripped and torn and soaking wet
Teenage treats - take them when you find them
Teenage treats - take them when you're down
Easy meats – take them and you grind them
Oh, teenage treats – I gotta tell you about teenage treats
I’m going to sell you some teenage treats – They'll get you unwound

Something To Tell You
02:54
|
|||
I’ve got something to tell you something to tell you you might not like now
You’ve got nothing to live for unless you can put more in your life now
I’ve got something to tell you something to tell you and I can tell you you're a bunch of fools
You buy anything that they sell you premium bonds football pools
Do a murder rob a bank but don't just sit there dumb and blank
Propaganda dirty tricks they feed you crap they make you sick
I've got something to tell you something to tell you you might not like now
You’ve got nothing to live for unless you can put more in your life now
You're not trying and inch you're you're just a cinch for manipulation
Too late now to be gentle your're suffering from mental constipation
Do a murder rob a bank but don't just sit there dumb and blank
Propaganda dirty tricks they feed you crap they make you sick
I’ve got something to tell you something to tell you you might not like now
You’ve got nothing to live for unless you can put more in your life now

Run Run Angelica

Everybody tried to make it but nobody could
You wouldn't give in you didn't see why you should
A sense of independence and unlikely to change
You became a mystery with your old fashioned ways
You didn't have to try you were the star of the show
You'd lick them just by smiling but what you didn't know
I made myself a promise I would make you unbend
I wanna be the first one don't just wanna be your friend
Run run Angelica time to roll the ball time to lose it all
Run run Angelica time to play the game you will be glad you came
Run run Angelica I can guarantee it'll be good with me
Miss you'll miss me when I'm gone
Angelica, Angelica, Angelica, Angelica ca ca ca ca ca ca ca
I think you'll like it when I'm touching you
I know that this means so much to you
And I know you'll soon be telling me
It feels nice it feels good and you could
You came from a family who knew what to do
It might have been hard on your sister and you
Back in your country it's different you see
One wrong move means a lifetime of misery
But I understand yeah I really do but I really don't want to rush you
I’ll even agree to be friends with your brother
As we get to know each other
Run run Angelica time to roll the ball time to lose it all
Run run Angelica time to play the game you will be glad you came
Run run Angelica I can guarantee it'll be good with me
Miss you'll miss me when I'm gone
Run run Angelica run run Angelica run run Angelica run run Angelica
Run run Angelica run run Angelica run run Angelica run run Angelica
Run run run run run run

Evil man evil mind devil's acrobat
Looks like an ordinary man criminological aristocrat
Evil man evil mind watch out he's g g g gonna get ya
Evil man evil mind messenger of doom
Cried like a baby that night when he left that blood soaked room
Evil man evil mind watch out he's g g g gonna get ya
Evil man evil mind watch out he's g g g gonna get ya
Evil man evil mind watch out he's g g g gonna get ya
And then it's tomorrow another working day
Behind him the pain that took a life away
He's trying and crying to lead a normal life
The lying such lying the headlines and the knife
Evil man evil mind watch out he's g g g gonna get ya

She Made Magic
03:00
|
|||
Speedy London girl a west one queen of the night
Her hair was blue chopped and abused and her skin just a sickly white
She would pogo around the dance floor in her inexpensive shoes
She be bopping to the rock and roll
And throwing plastic glasses just for something to do
Captivated watching her sweet body moving in perfect time
It was hot in the club they were playing some dub and a number by the MC5's
Periodically she'd smile at me I guess she must have known
That before the night was over
I was going to take her somewhere we could be alone
She made magic in the morning and she made it all through the night
She made magic for me and she made the magic right
She made magic in away that nobody did before
She made magic oh yeah and I wanna get back for more
She made magic she made magic
She made magic she made magic
It coulda bin tragic it coulda bin tragic
She made magic she made magic
She made magic she showed me lottsa new tricks
She made magic devastating blue tricks
She made magic she showed me over new ground
She made magic I shoulda took the boys round
She made magic I couldn't keep the pace up
She made magic I couldn't fill the space up
She made magic I knew I had to turn round
She made magic I shoulda took the boys round
Magic magic magic

Can't Wait Till '78
02:49
|

You know it wasn't worth being alive in '75
You know I didn't get too many kicks in ‘76
But ’77 has changed all that for me for you
You can say what you wanna say
And do what you wanna do
Can't wait for ‘78
You know I can't wait to see what gives
You know I can't wait for ‘78
To see who dies to see who lives
Can't wait for ‘78
You know I can't wait to see what gives
You know I can't wait for ‘78
To see who dies to see who lives
Empty spaces boring places cricket scores
Soon gave rise to shaded eyes and schoolgirl whores
Now the mice have spoken for me for you
Now the ice has broken do what you wanna do
Can't wait for ‘78
You know I can't wait to see what gives
You know I can't wait for ‘78
To see who dies to see who lives
Can't wait for ‘78
You know I can't wait to see what gives
You know I can't wait for ‘78
To see who dies to see who lives
Can't wait for ‘78
You know I can't wait to see what gives
You know I can't wait for ‘78
To see who dies to see who lives
Can't wait for ‘78
You know I can't wait to see what gives
You know I can't wait for ‘78
To see who dies to see who lives

Free Country
01:56
|

You can't get a drink after 3 o'clock
You mustn't have a party in your high rise block
You can't even walk along the streets at night
‘Cos nobody believes that the kids are alright
It's a free free free free free free free country
Free free free free free free free country
You can't say much on the radio
‘Cos if the Beeb get upset they say go Johnny go
You mustn't upset the man at the top
But when they say no go you gotta stop stop stop
It's a free free free free free free free country
Free free free free free free free country
You can do what you like if they like what you do
You can stay at home and buy a TV too
Forget all the things you wanted to be
Monday morning 9 o'clock not for me
It's a free free free free free free free country
Free free free free free free free country
Free free free free free free free country
Free free free free free free free country
Free free free free free free free country

Rubber Cars
03:38
|
|||
Tons of painted metal moving round on wheels
Strips of iron back and front dangerous it kills kills kills
Strange I know but made to go at twice the lawful speed
And every day's a day that someone loses someone someone needs
Can't anybody see it's just gotta be rubber cars cars c c cars cars made of rubber
With flexible see through nylon windscreens just like bumper cars
So plain to me it's just gotta be rubber cars cars c c cars cars made of rubber
Hazardous conditions and tearful admissions
Confessions of the sessions in the bars rubber cars
Should be made in such a way the engine couldn't start
Unless the safety belts were being worn by persons in the car car
And fitted in a recess going all around the car
Should be strong but tiny lights non glare but yeah
Would easily be seen in bad visibility even at a thousand yards
Can't anybody see it's just gotta be rubber cars cars c c cars cars made of rubber
With flexible see through nylon windscreens just like bumper cars
So plain to me it's just gotta be rubber cars cars c c cars cars made of rubber
Hazardous conditions and tearful admissions
Confessions of the sessions in the bars rubber cars
So even when two cars collide it could be quite safe inside
And when people get run down each day
There would be a chance they could just get up and walk away
Can't anybody see it's just gotta be rubber cars cars c c cars cars made of rubber
With flexible see through nylon windscreens just like bumper cars
So plain to me it's just gotta be rubber cars cars c c cars cars made of rubber
Hazardous conditions and tearful admissions
Confessions of the sessions in the bars rubber cars
Wrapped in special foam no more silly bump your way home
Just like the bumper cars they want to be quick death is sick
Someone dies someone cries so sad
They're after us watch that bus it's d d d d d dangerous
They've gotta make changes we don't love the sound of breaking glass
Don't love the sound of breaking glass
Rubber cars

This Time
02:26
|

I've been waiting for the phone to ring
I've been waiting for a knock on the door
But I'm beginning to think you're not around no more
It took a long time to make up your mind but you meant it this time
I've been waiting for the phone to ring
I've been waiting for a knock on the door
But I'm beginning to think you're not around no more
It took a long time to make up your mind but you meant it this time
This time it's going to be bad
This time it's going to be sad
This time you must have decided this was no life and you just couldn't hide it
And a colour plate queen in a fashion magazine said hey girl you could be me
Well the band was playing and the stage was bright
And the conversation was sweet and hot
Hey girl you have come a long way since Emily and that day at the races
This time it's going to be bad
This time it's going to be sad
This time you must have decided this was no life and you just couldn't hide it
And a colour plate queen in a fashion magazine said hey girl you could be me
Well I've been waiting so long this time
Really has gone wrong this time
Not even a letter no no no no This time
No one on the t t t telephone this time
I never thought it would happen this time
Woo how it happened this time

Asleep at home brr brr telephone hello oh no where are you
In gay Paris but you didn't tell me it's just gone two and I've been worried about you
You're gonna get back tired and I bet you get fired from another job that I found you
You've been swanning about and your money's run out you bought clothes today in St. Germaine des Pres
She's alarming always promising that she'll change
She's alarming every year she makes a resolution not to worry me
So disarming enchanting smile man gone I like your style
She's alarming
Got a new car beep beep no sleep a vanishing act all weekend
You were packing your pvc valise and spinning me a line about staying with your girlfriend
It wasn't enough I gave you some green stuff and you waved good by honey
You were planning to spend your funny weekend at the same time as my money
She's alarming always promising that she'll change
She's alarming every year she makes a resolution not to worry me
So disarming enchanting smile man gone I like your style
She's alarming
I've gotta go I've had enough I say you have wiped your feet on me
I hear a tear you tell a smile softly and I'll just hang on for a couple of more days maybe
She's alarming always promising that she'll change
She's alarming every year she makes a resolution not to worry me
So disarming enchanting smile man gone I like your style
She's alarming
She's my mum

He's back he's back
No more coming round wearing his dressing gown 'cos he's back

The crap will surely hit the fan and rightly he's back he's back he's back
Ahhh watch out he's back

They say I'm the bad one and maybe it's true
Okay I'm the bad one but not to you
They call me the wrong one and maybe they're right
But if I'm the wrong one tell me tonight
I think you're just beginning to see me as I am
I know I'm not the easiest of boys to understand
Cross my heart I'll never leave you cross my heart I'll always be
Just the way I 'am tonight I’ll never change not me to you
To me you'll always be the one I’m not just making fun
I know it's not easy believe what I say
When everyone tells you I'm never this way
I hope you believe me this isn't a game
I only want you do you feel the same
Cross my heart I'll never leave you cross my heart I'll always be
Just the way I 'am tonight I’ll never change not me to you
To me you'll always be the one I’m not just making fun
Cross my heart I'll never leave you cross my heart I'll always be
Just the way I 'am tonight I’ll never change not me to you
To me you'll always be the one I’m not just making fun
Cross my heart I'll never leave you cross my heart I'll always be
Just the way I 'am tonight I’ll never change not me to you
To me you'll always be the one I’m not just making fun
Cross my heart

Got up got out of bed put on the radio
People dying execution's revolutions
They found the kid dead they were saying he was only nine years old and then they started playing
Another song about dancing dancing another song about feeling alright
Another song about dancing all night
The vapor from the paper stunk as much as the news
Just an ordinary day nobody in the schools
They found the kid dead they were saying he was only nine years old and then they started playing
Another song about dancing dancing another song about feeling alright
Another song about dancing all night
Got up got out of bed put on the radio
So detached and safe at home I know
They found the kid dead they were saying he was only nine years old and then they started playing
Another song about dancing dancing another song about feeling alright
Another song about dancing
Well maybe I'm too sensitive or maybe I'm just real
Ok if I'm too sensitive but that's the way I feel
Another song about dancing dancing another song about feeling alright
Another song about dancing another song about dancing all night
Another song about dancing dancing another song about feeling alright
Another song about dancing dancing another song about feeling alright

Do The Zoo
05:48

Oh do the zoo do the zoo
Do do the zoo do the zoo
Here's a new one even you can do
Likewise I can do anyone can be an animal
Loosen up a little bend your knees a little
Help you to do the zoo
Do the zoo do the zoo
1 and 2 do the zoo 3 like a chimpanzee
Ah do the zoo
You can be a kangaroo but if that don't appeal to you
and you don't like to jump around just take a seat and be a parakeet
If you have your hair upon your chest must be fair to say
The very best next course of action would of course be action nothing less
And now you can be King Kong and show them how to get it on
Let your arms hang down around your knees but these are just suggestions
Knowing that you've made your mind up why not be a bull stomp your feet
Let the beating of a drum control the way you move
Your heart is pounding look around smile and do the crocodile
Then a big meow came from a cow who should have mooed
But found it rude until the pigs were were singing for us
and the friendly rhinoceros joined into the cho ho horus
do the zoo
You do the zoo You do the zoo, yeah
You do the zoo You do the zoo
You do the zoo You do the zoo, yeah
You do the zoo You do the zoo
You do the zoo You do the zoo, yeah
You do the zoo You do the zoo

She would go a walking stranger love
She had no time for talking stranger love
She'd go with any stranger give it a shove
Don't have to look like Stewart Granger stranger love
Plastic underwear sky blue auburn hair stranger love
Some say what a pit the girl from naked city stranger love
She would go a walking stranger love
Her body would be cooking stranger love
It didn't really matter stranger love
As long as they got at her that was enough
Plastic underwear sky blue auburn hair stranger love
Some say what a pit the girl from naked city stranger love
She Would go a walking stranger love
She had no time for talking stranger love
She'd go with any stranger give it a shove
Don't have to look like Stewart Granger stranger love
Plastic underwear sky blue auburn hair stranger love
Some say what a pit the girl from naked city stranger love
She would go a looking stranger love
Her body would be cooking stranger love
It didn't really matter stranger love
As long as they got at her stranger love
Plastic underwear sky blue auburn hair stranger love
