Rock’n’Roll Star
[Verse 1]
I live my life in the city
And there’s no easy way out
The day’s moving just too fast for me
I need some time in the sunshine
I’ve gotta slow it right down
The day’s moving just too fast for me
[Chorus]
I live my life for the stars that shine
People say, «It’s just a waste of time»
Then they said, «I should feed my head»
That to me was just a day in bed
I’ll take my car and drive real far
They’re not concerned about the way we are
In my mind my dreams are real
Now you concerned about the way I feel
Tonight I’m a rock ‘n’ roll star (x2)
[Verse 2]
I live my life in the city
And there’s no easy way out
The day’s moving just too fast for me
I need some time in the sunshine
I’ve gotta slow it right down
The day’s moving just too fast for me
[Chorus]
I live my life for the stars that shine
People say, «It’s just a waste of time»
Then they said, «I should feed my head»
Oh, that to me was just a day in bed
I’ll take my car and drive real far
You’re not concerned about the way we are
In my mind my dreams are real
Now you concerned about the way I feel
Tonight I’m a rock ‘n’ roll star (x3)
[Bridge]
You’re not down with who I am
Look at you now, you’re all in my hands tonight
[Chorus]
Tonight I’m a rock ‘n’ roll star (x3)
[Outro]
It’s just rock ‘n’ roll

Bring It On Down
[Verse 1]
What was that sound ringing around your brain?
Today was just a blur you’ve got a head like a ghost train
What was that sound ringing around your brain?
You’re here on your own, who you gonna find to blame?
[Chorus]
You’re the outcast
You’re the underclass
But you don’t care, because you’re living fast
You’re the uninvited guest who stays ’till the end
I know you’ve got a problem that the devil sends
You think they’re talking ’bout you, but you don’t know who
I’ll be scraping their lives from the sole of my shoe tonight
[Verse 2]
Bring it on down, bring it down for me
Your head’s in a fish tank
Your body and your mind can’t breathe
Bring it on down, bring it out of me
Your head’s in a fish tank
Your body and your mind can’t breathe
[Chorus]
You’re the outcast
You’re the underclass
But you don’t care, because you’re living fast
You’re the uninvited guest who stays ’till the end
I know you’ve got a problem that the devil sends
You think they’re talking ’bout you, but you don’t know who
I’ll be scraping their lives from the sole of my shoe tonight
[back to top]
Acquiesce
[Verse 1]
I don’t know what it is that makes me feel alive
I don’t know how to wake the things that sleep inside
I only wanna see the light that shines behind your eyes
I hope that I can say the things I wish I’d said
To sing my soul to sleep and take me back to bed
Who wants to be alone when we can feel alive instead
[Chorus]
Because we need each other
We believe in one another
And I know we’re going to uncover
What’s sleepin’ in our soul
Because we need each other
We believe in one another
I know we’re going to uncover
What’s sleepin’ in our soul
What’s sleepin’ in our soul
[Verse 2]
There are many things that I would like to know
And there are many places that I wish to go
But everything’s depending on the way the wind may blow
I don’t know what it is that makes me feel alive
I don’t know how to wake the things that sleep inside
I only want to see the light that shines behind your eyes
[Chorus]
Because we need each other
We believe in one another
And I know we’re going to uncover
What’s sleepin’ in our soul
Because we need each other
We believe in one another
And I know we’re going to uncover
What’s sleepin’ in our soul
What’s sleepin’ in our soul
[Outro]
What’s sleepin’ in our soul
What’s sleepin’ in our soul
‘Cause we believe
‘Cause we believe
Yeah we believe
‘Cause we believe
‘Cause we believe
‘Cause we believe
Because we need
Because what we need

Fade Away
[Verse 1]
When I was young I thought I had my own key
I knew exactly what I wanted to be
Now I’m sure
You’ve boarded up every door
Lived in a bubble days were never ending
Was not concerned about what life was sending
Fantasy was real
Now I know much about the way I feel
[Bridge]
I’ll paint you the picture
‘Cause I don’t think you live ’round here no more
I’ve never even seen the key to the door
We only get what we will settle for
[Chorus]
While we’re living
The dreams we have as children fade away
While we’re living
The dreams we have as children fade away
While we’re living
The dreams we have as children fade away
While we’re living
The dreams we have as children fade away, away, away
They fade away, away, away
[Verse 2]
Now my life has turned another corner
I think it’s only best that I should warn you
Dream it while you can
Maybe someday I’ll make you understand
[Bridge]
I’ll paint you the picture
‘Cause I don’t think you live ’round here no more
I’ve never even seen the key to the door
We only get what we will settle for
[Chorus]
While we’re living
The dreams we have as children fade away
While we’re living
The dreams we have as children fade away
While we’re living
The dreams we have as children fade away
While we’re living
The dreams we have as children fade away, away, away
They fade away, away, away
They fade away, away, away
Fade away, away, away

Stutter
[Verse 1]
No need to whine, boy
Like a windup toy you stutter at my feet
And it’s never the time, boy
You’ve had too much wine to stumble up my street
Well, it isn’t a problem
Nothing we can’t keep between the sheets
Tell me you’re mine, love
And I will not wait for other bedtime treats
[Chorus]
Is it something you lack
When I’m flat on my back?
Is it something that I can do for you?
It’s always someone you hate
Or it’s something you ate
Tell me is it the way that I touch you?
Have you found a new lay
And is she really great?
Is it just that I’m much too much for you?
Woah!
[Verse 2]
Don’t feed me a line, boy
I can hear that voice you use upon the phone
And there’s no need to be coy
That is something you can do upon your own
Well, it isn’t a problem
Nothing we can’t solve so just relax
Am I on the wrong train, love?
And will I have to tie you to the tracks?
[Chorus]
Is it something you lack
When I’m flat on my back?
Is it something that I can do for you?
It’s always someone you hate
Or it’s something you ate
Tell me is it the way that I touch you?
Have you found a new lay
And is she really great?
Is it just that I’m much too much for you?
[Outro]
Woah!
I really want you to
Woah!
I really want you to
Woah!

Holidays In The Sun
A cheap holiday in other people’s misery!
[Verse 1]
I don’t wanna holiday in the sun
I wanna go to the new Belsen
I wanna see some history
‘Cause now I got a reasonable economy
[Hook]
Oh, now I got a reason, now I got a reason
Now I got a reason and I’m still waiting
Now I got a reason, now I got a reason to be waiting
The Berlin Wall
[Verse 2]
In Sensurround sound in a two inch wall
I was waiting for the communist call
I didn’t ask for sunshine and I got World War III
I’m looking over the wall and they’re looking at me
[Hook]
Now I got a reason, now I got a reason
Now I got a reason and I’m still waiting
Now I got a reason, now I got a reason to be waiting
The Berlin Wall
[Bridge]
They’re staring all night and they’re staring all day
I had no reason to be here at all
And now I got a reason, it’s no real reason
And I’m waiting at Berlin Wall
I gotta go over the Berlin Wall
I don’t understand this bit at all
I’m gonna go over and over the Berlin wall
I gotta go over the Berlin Wall
I’m gonna go over the Berlin wall
[Hook]
Claustrophobia, there’s too much paranoia
There’s too many closets I went in before
And now I got a reason, it’s no real reason to be waiting
At Berlin Wall
[Outro]
I gotta go over the wall
I don’t understand this bit at all
This third rate B-movie show
Cheap dialogue, cheap essential scenery
I gotta go over the wall
I wanna go over the Berlin Wall
Before me, come over the Berlin Wall
I don’t understand this bit at all
I gotta go over the wall
I wanna go over the Berlin Wall
I gotta go over the Berlin Wall
Before me, come over the Berlin Wall
I don’t understand this bit at all
Please don’t be waiting for me
Transmission
[Intro]
Radio, live transmission
Radio, live transmission
[Verse 1]
Listen to the silence, let it ring on
Eyes, dark grey lenses frightened of the sun
We would have a fine time living in the night
Left to blind destruction, waiting for our sight
[Verse 2]
And we would go on as though nothing was wrong
And hide from these days we remained all alone
Staying in the same place, just staying out the time
Touching from a distance, further all the time
[Chorus]
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
[Verse 3]
Well I could call out when the going gets tough
The things that we’ve learnt are no longer enough
No language, just sound, that’s all we need know
To synchronise love to the beat of the show
And we could dance
[Chorus]
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio

Into the Valley
[Verse 1]
into the valley
betrothed and divine
realisations no virtue
but who can define
why soldiers go marching
those amsses a line
this disease is catching
from victory to stone
[Chorus]
ahoy! ahoy! land, sea and sky
ahoy!ahoy! boy, man and soldier
ahoy! ahoy! deceived and then punctured
ahoy! ahoy! long may they die
[Verse 2]
out of concealment
blank and stark eyed
why so uncertain
this culture deceives
prophesised, brainwashed
tomorrows demise
all systems failing
the placards unroll
[Chorus]
ahoy! ahoy! land, sea and sky
ahoy! ahoy! boy, man and soldier
ahoy! ahoy! deceived and then punctured
ahoy! ahoy! long may they die
[Outro]
time for the audit
the gathering trial
a collectors dilemma
repositioned and filed

Sheena Is a Punk Rocker
Well the kids are all hopped up and ready to go
They’re ready to go now
They got their surfboards
And they’re going to the Discotheque Au Go Go
But she just couldn’t stay
She had to break away
Well New York City really has it all
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Sheena is a punk rocker
Sheena is a punk rocker
Sheena is a punk rocker now.
She’s a punk punk, a punk rocker
Punk punk, a punk rocker
Punk punk, a punk rocker.
Sheena is a punk rocker
Sheena is a punk rocker
Sheena is a punk rocker now
Search and Destroy
[Verse 1]
I’m a street-walking cheetah
With a heart full of napalm
I’m a runaway child of the nuclear A-bomb
I am a world’s forgotten boy
The one who searches and destroys
Honey, gotta help me, please
Somebody gotta save my soul
Baby, detonate for me!
[Verse 2]
Look out, honey, ’cause I’m using technology
Ain’t got time to make no apology
Soul radiation in the dead of night
Love in the middle of a firefight
Honey, gotta strike me blind
Somebody gotta save my soul
Baby, penetrate my mind
[Chorus]
And I’m the world’s forgotten boy
The one who’s searchin’, searchin’ to destroy
And honey, I’m the world’s forgotten boy
The one who’s searchin’ only to destroy
Hey!
[Outro]
Forgotten boy, forgotten boy
Forgotten boy, said, uh
Hey, forgotten boy, said
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Baby, baby, babe, hey, yeah
Aw, baby, baby

Cigarettes & Alcohol
[Verse 1]
Is it my imagination
Or have I finally found something worth living for?
I was looking for some action
But all I found was cigarettes and alcohol
[Chorus]
You could wait for a lifetime
To spend your days in the sunshine
You might as well do the white line
‘Cause when it comes on top
You gotta make it happen
You gotta make it happen
You gotta make it happen
You gotta make it happen
[Verse 2]
Is it worth the aggravation
To find yourself a job when there’s nothing worth working for?
It’s a crazy situation
But all I need are cigarettes and alcohol
[Chorus]
You could wait for a lifetime
To spend your days in the sunshine
You might as well do the white line
‘Cause when it comes on top
You gotta make it happen!
You gotta make it happen!
You gotta make it happen!
You gotta make it happen!
[Outro]
You gotta, you gotta, you gotta make it
You gotta, you gotta, you gotta fake it
You gotta, you gotta, you gotta make it
You gotta, you gotta, you gotta fake it

Up The Bracket
[Verse 1]
I saw two shadow men on the Vallance Road
Said they’d pay me for your address
Oh I was so bold
I said you see these two cold fingers
These crooked fingers I show
You’s a way to mean no
Well they didn’t like that much I can tell you
Said «sunshine I wouldn’t wanna be in your shoes»
They chased me up two flights of stairs
Caught me in the lift how I sighed and said
Hello, ’cause you’re impossible
[Chorus]
But it’s just like he’s in another world
He doesn’t see the danger on show
Wind up like Joseph bloody in a hole
And it’s just like she’s in another world
And how they suit each other oh no
But they never get close
It’s impossible
[Verse 2]
Saw the same two men on the Cally road
Said now they’d double their offer
I was so bold
To say you see these two cold fingers
These crooked fingers I show
Oh you’s a way to mean no
[Chorus]
But it’s just like he’s in another world
He doesn’t see the danger on show
He’ll end up like Joseph bloody in a hole
It’s just like she’s in another world
How they suit each other oh no
But you never get close
It’s unstoppable
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
But it’s just like we’re all in another world
How we suit each other oh no
But we never get close
That’s close enough now.

Disorder
[Verse 1]
I’ve been waiting for a guide to come and take me by the hand
Could these sensations make me feel the pleasures of a normal man?
Lose sensation, spare the insults, leave them for another day
I’ve got the spirit, lose the feeling, take the shock away
[Verse 2]
It’s getting faster, moving faster now, it’s getting out of hand
On the tenth floor, down the back stairs, into no man’s land
Lights are flashing, cars are crashing, getting frequent now
I’ve got the spirit, lose the feeling, let it out somehow
[Verse 3]
What means to you, what means to me and we will meet again
I’m watching you, I’m watching her, I’ll take no pity from your friends
Who is right, who can tell and who gives a damn right now?
Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know
Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know
Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know
[Outro]
I’ve got the spirit
But lose the feeling
I’ve got the spirit
But lose the feeling
Feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling
Feeling, feeling, feeling
Pretty Vacant
There’s no point in asking, you’ll get no reply
Oh, just remember I don’t decide
I got no reason, it’s all too much
You’ll always find us out to lunch
[Chorus]
Oh, we’re so pretty, oh, so pretty
We’re vacant
Oh, we’re so pretty, oh, so pretty
A vacant
[Verse 2]
Don’t ask us to attend ’cause we’re not all there
Oh, I don’t pretend ’cause I don’t care
I don’t believe illusions ’cause too much is real
Stuff your cheap comments ’cause we know what we feel
[Chorus]
Oh, we’re so pretty, oh, so pretty
We’re vacant
Oh, we’re so pretty, oh, so pretty
A vacant
Oh, we’re so pretty, oh, so pretty

Teenage Kicks
[Verse 1]
A teenage dream’s so hard to beat
Every time she walks down the street
Another girl in the neighborhood
Wish she was mine, she looks so good
[Chorus]
I wanna hold her, wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night
[Verse 2]
I’m gonna call her on the telephone
Have her over ’cause I’m all alone
I need excitement, oh, I need it bad
And it’s the best I’ve ever had
[Chorus]
I wanna hold her, wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night
All right!

Headshrinker
I know a girl who’s lost and lonely
Sits by the phone on her own
But the phone don’t ring
And the birds don’t sing in her tree
She lost herself in a haze of pity
And doesn’t know where to run
She’s a headshrinker now
And I think its time we had some fun
[Chorus]
Lost in a fog
I’ve been treated like a dog
And I’m out of here
I got no name
And I feel no shame
And I got no fear
And I bow down
To the tears of a clown
Whatever’s going down
Is coming around
I hope you don’t regret today
For the rest of your lives
For the rest of your lives
For the rest of your lives
For the rest of your lives
[Solo]
[Chorus]
Lost in a fog
I’ve been treated like a dog

I hope you don’t regret today

Steppin’ Stone
I, I, I, I, I’m not your steppingstone
I, I, I, I, I’m not your steppingstone
[Verse 1]
I tried to make a mark in society
You’re using all the tricks that you used on me
I read about your payday in your magazines
The clothes you’re wearin’, yeah, pulling at the seams
[Chorus]
I, I, I, I, I’m not your steppingstone
I, I, I, I, I’m not your steppingstone
[Verse 2]
When I first met you, girl, you had no shoes
And now you’re walking like you’re front-page news
You’ve been unfaithful like the friends you choose
But you won’t find me your little boots
[Chorus 2]
I’m not your steppingstone
I’m not stone, okay
I’m not rock
[Chorus]
I, I, I, I, I’m not your steppingstone

The Saints Are Coming
[Intro]
I cried to my daddy on the telephone
How long now
Until the clouds unroll and you come home
The line went
But the shadows still remain since your descent
Your descent
[Chorus]
The saints are coming
The saints are coming
I say no matter how I try, I realise there’s no reply
The saints are coming
The saints are coming
I say no matter how I try, I realise there’s no reply
[Verse 1]
A drowning sorrow floods the deepest grief
How long now
Until a weather change condemns belief
The stone says
This paternal guide once had his day
Once had his day
[Chorus]
The saints are coming
The saints are coming
I say no matter how I try, I realise there’s no reply
The saints are coming
The saints are coming
I say no matter how I try, I realise there’s no reply
I say no matter how I try, I realise there’s no reply
I say no matter how I try, I realise there’s no reply
Should I Stay or Should I Go
[Verse 1]
Darling, you got to let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
If you say that you are mine
I’ll be here ’till the end of time
So you got to let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
[Verse 2]
It’s always tease, tease, tease
You’re happy when I’m on my knees
One day it’s fine and next it’s black
So if you want me off your back
Well, come on and let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
[Chorus]
Should I stay or should I go now?
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go, there will be trouble
And if I stay it will be double
So come on and let me know
[Verse 3]
This indecision’s bugging me
If you don’t want me, set me free
Exactly whom I’m supposed to be
Don’t you know which clothes even fit me?
Come on and let me know
Should I cool it or should I blow?
Split
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
Should I stay or should I go now?
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go there will be trouble
And if I stay it will be double
So ya gotta let me know
Should I cool it or should I blow?
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go there will be trouble
And if I stay it will be double
So ya gotta let me know
Should I stay or should I go?

Don’t Look Back Into The Sun
Don’t look back into the sun
Now you know that the time has come
And they said it would never come for you
Oh my friend you haven’t changed
You’re looking rough and living strange
And I know you got a taste for it too oh oh oh
[Chorus]
They’ll never forgive you but they won’t let you go, oh no
She’ll never forgive you but she won’t let you go, oh no
[Verse 2]
Don’t look back into the sun
You’ve cast your pearls but now you’re on the run
And all the lies you said, who did you save?
But when they played that song at the Death Disco
It started fast but it ends so slow
And all the time it just reminded me of you
[Chorus]
They’ll never forgive you but they won’t let you go (let me go!)
She’ll never forgive you but she won’t let you go, oh no
[Chorus]
They’ll never forgive you but they won’t let you go (let me go!)
She’ll never forgive you but she won’t let you go, oh no..
Gold Soundz
[Verse 1]
Go back to those gold sounds
And keep my advent to your self
Because it’s nothing I don’t like
Is it a crisis or a boring change?
When it’s central, so essential
It has a nice ring when you laugh
At the low-life opinions
And they’re coming to the chorus now
[Chorus 1]
I keep my address to yourself ’cause we need secrets
We need secret, –cret, –cret, –cret, –crets back right now
[Verse 2]
Because I never wanna make you feel
That you’re social, never ignorant soul
Believe in what you wanna do
And do you think that is a major flaw
When they rise up in the falling rain?
And if you stay around
With your knuckles ground down
The trial’s over, the weapon’s found
[Chorus 1]
Keep my address to myself because it’s secret
‘Cause it’s secret, –cret, –cret, –cret, –cret, –cret, –cret
–Cret, –cret, –cret, –cret, –cret, –cret back right now
[Verse 3]
So drunk in the August sun
And you’re the kind of girl I like
Because you’re empty and I’m empty
And you can never quarantine the past
Did you remember in December
That I won’t need you when I’m gone?
And if I go there, I won’t stay there
Because I’m sitting here too long
[Chorus 2]
I’ve been sitting here too long
And I’ve been wasted, advocating that word for the last word
Last words come up, all you’ve got to waste
There Is a Light That Never Goes Out
Take me out tonight
Where there’s music and there’s people
And they’re young and alive
Driving in your car
I never, never want to go home
Because I haven’t got one anymore
Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people
And I want to see lights
Driving in your car, oh, please don’t drop me home
Because it’s not my home, it’s their home
And I’m welcome no more
[Chorus]
And if a double-decker bus crashes into us
To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten tonne truck kills the both of us
To die by your side, well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine
[Verse 2]
Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere
I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care
And in the darkened underpass
I thought «Oh God, my chance has come at last»
But then a strange fear gripped me and I just couldn’t ask
Take me out tonight
Oh, take me anywhere
I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care
Driving in your car, I never, never want to go home
Because I haven’t got one
I haven’t got one
And if a double-decker bus crashes into us
To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten tonne truck kills the both of us
To die by your side, well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine
[Outro]
Oh, there is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
Rock’n’Roll Star
I live my life in the city
And there’s no easy way out
The day’s moving just too fast for me
I need some time in the sunshine
I’ve gotta slow it right down
The day’s moving just too fast for me
[Chorus]
I live my life for the stars that shine
People say, «It’s just a waste of time»
Then they said, «I should feed my head»
That to me was just a day in bed
I’ll take my car and drive real far
They’re not concerned about the way we are
In my mind my dreams are real
Now you concerned about the way I feel
Tonight I’m a rock ‘n’ roll star
Tonight I’m a rock ‘n’ roll star
[Verse 2]
I live my life in the city
And there’s no easy way out
The day’s moving just too fast for me
I need some time in the sunshine
I’ve gotta slow it right down
The day’s moving just too fast for me
I live my life for the stars that shine
People say, «It’s just a waste of time»
Then they said, «I should feed my head»
Oh, that to me was just a day in bed
I’ll take my car and drive real far
You’re not concerned about the way we are
In my mind my dreams are real
Now you concerned about the way I feel
Tonight I’m a rock ‘n’ roll star
Tonight I’m a rock ‘n’ roll star
Tonight I’m a rock ‘n’ roll star
[Bridge]
You’re not down with who I am
Look at you now, you’re all in my hands tonight
[Chorus]
Tonight I’m a rock ‘n’ roll star
Tonight I’m a rock ‘n’ roll star
Tonight I’m a rock ‘n’ roll star
[Outro]
It’s just rock ‘n’ roll
It’s just rock ‘n’ roll
