1. WHERE HAVE ALL THE BOOT BOYS GONE

Wearing boots and short hair cuts
We will kick you in the guts
But no luck they've all grown up
They drink tea in a cup
Some get married and settle down
Other's they leave for a foreign town
Fighting gangs every night.
We use sticks, hit them in the kite

Where have all the boot boys gone
Hammy, Jacko, Bugs and John
Where have all the boot boys gone
It looks like I'm the only one, the one

Friday came we go to a dance hall
Battering snobs we'd have a ball
We don't know what we've done
We go see United 'cos we're having fun
We get released on fifty quid bail
But I know I'll end up in jail
I was a leader I was so proud
I hung with a gang, what a crowd

Now its been five years or more
I'm a skin don't know what for
I don't know what I am
I don't see or give a damn
I must stop this M.O.D.
I must try, try and be me
I must listen I must try.
I must move, Move or die

C'mon. Do ya wanna scrap?
Get Ready then. Where have all the boot boys gone?


2. VICTIMS OF THE VAMPIRE

The Count I sucked
I sucked the blood
Living on flesh it's real good
Takes a victim in the night
Drains the blood from another life

Who's the, next a victim
Who's the, next a victim
Who's the, next a victim
You

They call me death in black cloak
I take my victims in the smoke
Flying around over head
One of you victims are gonna be dead

Who's the, next a victim
Who's the, next a victim
Who's the, next a victim
You

You put a steak to my heart
I said boy you won't start
Flying around over head
One of you victims are gonna be dead


3. BOSTON BABIES

Once met a girl down in Boston
I asked her for her name
She said she wouldn't tell me
For she was ashamed

Boston Baby Boston Baby,
Why you so scared why
Boston Baby Boston Baby,
I'm going to make you high

You better stop crying girl
And jump into my car
I'll take you all over kid
'Cos me and you will go far, I know

Boston Baby Boston Baby,
Now you've got it made
Boston Baby Boston Baby,
You courage it has paid
Boston Baby Boston Baby,
Walking down the street
Boston Baby Boston Baby,
You'll knock them off there feet


4. I'M WAITING FOR THE MAN

I'm, I'm waiting for my man
Twenty-six dollars are, in my hand
Walked up to Lexington, 125
Feeling more dead, more dead than alive

Im waiting for my man

Hey white boy, what you doing up town
Hey white boy, chasing our women around
Don't call me sir cos it's the bad from my mind
Until tomorrow but's that just another time

Here he comes, he's all dressed in black
Siletto shoes and a big straw hat
He's never early, he's always late
The first thing you learn is that you always gotta wait

Dirty old building, three flights of stairs
No one stops you 'cos nobody cares
He's gives you words he gives you taste
Then you gotta split because you got no time to waste

Don't you holler, don't you bawl and shout
I'm feeling good I'm gonna work it all out
I'm feel so good I'm feeling oh so fine
Until tomorrow but that's just another time


5. I'M MAD

Drunk a lot of barley wine
I'm rather high and feeling fine
I go out on, on to the street
I knock some bastard off his feet

I'm mad I'm mad can't control myself
I'm mad I'm mad call me psycho
I'm mad I'm mad I had to let go
I'm mad I'm mad put a bottle in your face

Punk's are alright if you want to fight
My mind is in a mental state
I give myself up I'm going insane
I need help I'm not to blame

I want to get out of here,
I want to get out of here
I want to get out of here
but the bastards won't let me out

They lock me up behind bars
I'm alright until I see the stars
The guys with white coats start to smile
They're going to lock me up for quite awhile


6. QUICK JOEY SMALL

Quick Joey Small went over the wall
With a ball and chain behind him
Quick Joey Small went over the wall
Sent the dogs right out to find him

In a sack ridden suit with no boot to loot
He headed for the highway
With his chains still dragging
He thumbs down a wagon
He said you going my way

Run Joey Joey run run, the hounds are on your trail
Run Joey Joey run run, they'll lock you up in jail

Sheriff's got a shot-gun (he do)
He'll fill you full of lead son (that's true)
He's also got a Black Jack (oh yeah)
He'll knock you down with one whack (well I know)

Sweet Mary Jane was going insane
When she heard of Joey's jail break
But she knew for a while 'cos she sent him a file
Baked inside a fruit cake

Sheriff Jake Baines was right out of brains
But he knew one thing for sure
He got some tough's and a pair of hand cuffs
And headed for Mary Jane's door


7. YOU'RE A BORE

When you take the pusher's pyramid
Then you looked at what you went and did
Things start to happen oh so slow
Then you want another go

What you doing to me what you saying to me
I don't give a damn no more
What you doing to me what you saying to me
I just think you're one big bore

Bashing out with all your friend's
Don't you stop or try to pretend
When we start to shake so low
That's when we're going to have another go

Stop your acid and your L.S.D.
Stop and try to think of me
When we start to sink so low
That's when we're going to have another go


8. KEEP ON TRYING

Keep on trying, yeah don't give in at all
Keep on trying, oh you may fall
So, come on, you know, what you gotta do
Tonight, keep tight, don't give in at all

Dont give in now, oh you got a long way to go
It's not long now, oh pretty soon it may show
So, come on, you know, what you gotta do
Tonight, keep tight, don't give in at all

Now you made it,
Yeah you really reached the top
Keep on trying, oh theirs no way you'll stop
So, come on, you know, what you gotta do
Tonight, keep tight, don't give in at all

Keep on trying
Don't you give in at all
Keep on trying
Or you may fall


9. WE DON'T CARE

Hanging round Civic on an afternoon
You don't give a damn what they say to you
You just look look look in their face
Turn away and laugh in disgrace

We don't care, no we don't care
We don't care, no we don't care

Try and open your eyes
And realise we're not in disguise
All the time we're thinking of you
And we know what you're going to do

In a year from now or maybe more
You'll be on this same score
Cos now you're living in the past
And man this thing just cannot last


10. SINCE YOU WENT AWAY

When I walk into my room
I feel oh so lonely
Look on the bed
And you're not there
If it could, if only

I could see my picture today
You said you were going away

People say I'm going crazy
They don't understand
You said I had to choose
You or the band

So mixed up I don't my mind
I must go and hide
I loved you and the band
Told you I had lied


11. WHO ARE THE MYSTERY GIRLS

She's the one I want to take her home
I want to see I want to stay a year
Well she's the one I want to take her home
I'm going to crawl right through her hair,
Oh baby
She's the one I want to hide her
I want to hide her like a mystery girl
She's the one I want to kick it on the floor
I want to treat her like a scattered rug

I'm talking about love, yeah it's the mystery girl
And I want to know, yeah it's the mystery girl
So why don't you tell me, oh it's the mystery girl
About the mystery girl

She's the one I want to slap her chest
I want to tell her where she came from
But who's the one that's going to move
Down the street
Who's going to tell them then
They'll go home now now now
But who's the one I want to hide her
I sant to hide her like a mystery girl
But who's the one who's going to
Kick it on the floor
I want to treat her like a scattered rug


12. DAME TO BLAME

I got the fever cos' I feel real dead
I gonna die that's what the doc said
I ain't got long now cos it's a shame
I got to stop it, it's a dame to blame

It's called love, it's called love

She got a look when she's looking at me
She's got the smile that I can't see
She'll get me hooked if I don't look out
She has a look and I've got no doubt

I got the fever cos' I feel real dead
I gonna die that's what the doc said
She'll get me look, looking at me
She got me hooked and I can't see


BONUSTRACKS (RE-ISSUE 2000)


13. CRANKED UP REALLY HIGH

Gambled my life away
I was a real bum loser
Made love on smoke drugs
Like a pink skin boozer
Looked around at this joint
I thought of living was no point

Cranked up really high
All idea's while I'm shaking my fist
Grabbed a million thought's and I slit my wrist
Hallucination in my dream's
I've got to got to leave the scene

Getting high on glue and cocaine
Jabbing things in to my vein
Lucifer Lord holding my hand
Pushing pills to a rock n roll band


14. THE BITCH

You mug me, when I was lonely
But I could kill ya, if only

And you're a bitch
My God you're a bitch
But I couldn't mend our love
With just one stitch

Heather's a cad, she can't get things straight
And in her mind,
She's looking right through hate


15. JOHNNY T.

When I was at school they called me a fool
They called me Jack Horner
'Cos I sat in the corner

Johnny T, oh Johnny T
Remember, remember, remember
Member, member, member me
You remember Johnny T

Remember Jezebel she knew how to do it
She na na na na na knew darn well
Oh Jezebel

Remember, remember, remember
Member, member, member me
You remember Johnny T


16. COME ON BACK

You look so pretty you look so sweet
Thought I'd just tell you, you can't beat

Come on back, where you belong
Come on back, you know you're wrong
Come on back, I know you're mine
Come on back, I know you're kind

I need to love, I need to hold
I've got to find you, else I can't cope

So don't abuse me, I beg you please
Don't mess with my heart, don't try to tease
