1. GET A GRIP ON YOURSELF

Didn't have the money round to buy a Morry Thou
Been around and seen a lot to shake me anyhow
Begged and borrowed sometimes I admit I even stole
The worse crime that I ever did was play some rock 'n roll.

(Chorus)
But the money's no good
Just get a grip on yourself
But the money's no good
Just get a grip on yourself

Suffering convictions on a two-way stretch inside
The air in here is pretty thin, I think I'll go outside
Committed for insanity and crimes against the soul
The worst crime that I ever did was play some rock 'n roll.

(Chorus)

And you should know

Now I find from week to week the sentence sticking fast
Turn the corner, rub my eyes and hope the world will last
Stranger from another planet welcome to our hole
Just strap on your guitar and we'll play some rock 'n roll

(Chorus)

And you should know


2. DAGENHAM DAVE

Dave was from out of town
Manchester's likely too
Had read De Sade to Marx
More read than me and you
Scaffolding pays good bread
It pays for drugs and kicks
Dave only had one love
Had no real need for chicks
Dave was so far ahead
But now he's dead

I'm not going to cry
I bet he hit that water high

I guess he lost control
And welcomed in the night
It was too much for him
What were his thoughts that night?
The River Thames is cold
It keeps on flowing on
But it left Dave alone
It just kept flowing on

There's city sickness here
But now he's dead

Late night a street in the west of the city
There was a place there where he lost himself
Strange feelings did he feel there
Strange people did he meet there
Angry sounds did he hear there
Like the howling of bulls

I'm not going to cry
I bet he hit that water high


3. BURNING UP TIME

The Brighton train it goes real soon
My Brighton Belle is in her room
It's burning up time
It's burning up time

The weekend's here the Finchley Boys
Are gonna make a lot of noise
It's burning up time
It's burning up time

I wanna burn up while I'm having good times
Don't wanna burn up with other people's bad times
Like a meteor
Like to meet yer

You either love or you despise
There's just no time for compromise
It's burning up time
It's burning up time

The days have gotta move real fast
We know that nothing's gonna last
It's burning up time
It's burning up time

I wanna burn up while I'm having good times
Don't wanna burn up with other people's bad times
Like a meteor
Like to meet yer

Like a meteor
Like to meet yer

Like a meteor
Like to meet yer

Hello, little girl
Are you on your own?
Does your Mummy know where you are?
Would you like a sweetie?


4. DEAD RINGER

Haven't I seen You Somewhere Around Before?
Haven't I seen You Somewhere Around Before?
Then You're A Dead Ringer
Then You're A Dead Ringer
Then You're A Dead Ringer
Then You're A Conkeroonee Stringer

Wasn't It You Said You Was Into Changing The Law?
Wasn't It You Said You Was Into Changing The Law?
Then You're A Dead Ringer
Then You're A Dead Ringer
Then You're A Dead Ringer
Then You're A Conkeroonee Stringer

Wasn't It You Running Around Proud Of Being Poor?
Wasn't It You Running Around Proud Of Being Poor?
Then You're A Dead Ringer
Then You're A Dead Ringer
Then You're A Dead Ringer
Then You're A Conkeroonee Stringer

Productivity: Credibility: Impossibility


5. HANGING AROUND

Big girl in the red dress
She's just trying to impress us
And she's got the barley fever
But she doesn't make a sound
She's just hanging around
She's just hanging around

Down the court road early
With the Hustlers big and burly
There's a million of 'em selling
And the buyers can be found
They're just hanging around
They're just hanging around

(Chorus)
Christ he told his mother
Christ he told her not to bother
Cos he's alright in the city
Cos he's high above the ground
He's just hanging around (hanging around)
He's just hanging around (hanging around)
He's just hanging around (hanging around)
He's just hanging around (hanging around)

One of 'em comes over
Got a monkey on his shoulder
And the monkey's getting grinner
But his eyes are on the ground
He's just hanging around
He's just hanging around

I'm moving to a coleheme
With the leather all around me
And the sweat is getting steamy
But their eyes are on the ground
They're just hanging around
They're just hanging around

(Chorus 2x)

He's just hanging around (hanging around)
He's just hanging around


6. I FEEL LIKE A WOG

I feel like a wog people giving me the eyes
But I was born here just like you
I feel like a wog
Got all the dirt shitty jobs
But everybody's got to have something to do with their time

I feel like a wog
I don't wanna go home
I've got a lot of life to run through
I feel like a wog
I don't mean you no harm
Just don't ask me to shine your shoes

Golly gee: Golly gosh
Don't call me your Golly Wog
Golly gee: Golly gosh
Don't call me your Golly Wog

Let me tell you about Pimpo
We met him down at the After Eight
He wanted to sell us some limbo
But we said mister
You've just got to wait
You've got to wait (x3)

He wanted to take us down to Sao Paulo
But we said mister
We ain't got no bread
I tried to make him laugh
But he didnt get the joke
And then he said I wasnt right in the head
And then he made me (x3)
And then he made me feel
And then he made me feel like (x3)
You know I feel like (x3)
You know I feel like a wog


7. STRAINGHTEN OUT

And The First Commandment Reads
That Human Flesh And Blood
Is Sacred
Until There Is No More Food

The Break Of Day Has Come
I See The Cracks Have Just Begun
To Line The Walls
Line The Walls
I Want To See The Little Girls And Boys
Destroy Their Toys
And Line The Walls
Line The Walls

(Chorus)
What A Fate For Little Girls
British Boys' Minds In A Whirl
Tell You Things That'll Make Your Curls
Straighten Out
Straighten Out
Straighten Out
Straighten Out

For Twenty Years Or More
Just Tell Me What You're Living For
So Tell Me Now
Tell Me Now
Frustrated Intellect
That Government Capitulation
Follows Now
Follows Now

(Chorus)

The Break Of Day Has Come
I See The Cracks Have Just Begun
To Line The Walls
Line The Walls
I Want To See The Little Girls And Boys
Destroy Their Toys
And Line The Walls
Line The Walls

(Chorus)

Straighten Out...


8. CURFEW

The enemy has cut down all of the power
London south of the Thames is invaded
Westminster is razed down to the ground
The government has fled
The government has fled
The government has fled for Scotland today

(Chorus)
Grey becomes black and white
Is it true what they say
They turn the day into night
Black and white becomes

The government has fled into thin air
What's left of our troops have joined with the Scots
To form a defence across of the north
Stay in your homes
Stay in your homes
Be off the streets by nightfall

(Chorus)

Germany failed to protect her borders
She had grown soft with the American dream
Men from the Steppes delivered their vacuum
A new kind of freedom
Freedom's a chain
Maybe I'll find love when their's nothing to do

(Chorus)


9. DO YOU WANNA? DEATH AND NIGHT AND BLOOD (YUKIO)

Do you wanna marry a lumberjack?
Do you wanna freeze to death?
Do you wanna be a beauty queen,
And rule the kingdom?

Let out all the prisoners
Cause that's a jubilee

Do you wanna marry a company director?
Do you wanna go to work?
Do you wanna be a beauty queen,
And rule the kingdom?

Let out all the prisoners
Cause that's a jubilee

Do you wanna marry money?
Do you wanna use your body?
Do you wanna stay at home,
On the range?

Do you wanna blow your mind?
Do you wanna blow your hymen?
Do you wanna blow exams?
Do you wanna fix my muffler?
It's got a hole in it

----------------

Death and night and blood
Death and night and blood

(Death and night and blood)
(Death and night and blood)

When I saw that sparta in his eyes
Young death is good

(Death and night and blood)
(Death and night and blood)

And we decided that to die there was no greater love

(Death and night and blood)
(Death and night and blood)

(Death and night and blood)
(Death and night and blood)

Hey little baby don't you lean down low
Your brain's exposed and it's starting to show
Your rotten thoughts yeuch

(Death and night and blood)
(Death and night and blood)

I was attracted to a night torchlight parade
And there I came

(Death and night and blood)
(Death and night and blood)

Home is a black leather jacket fitting sweetly to my brain

(Death and night and blood)
(Death and night and blood)

Death and night and blood)
Death and night and blood)

Hey little baby don't you lean down low
Your brain's exposed and it's starting to show
Your rotten thoughts yeuch

(Death and night and blood)
(Death and night and blood)

I will force my body to be my weapon and my statement, so

(Death and night and blood)
(Death and night and blood)

(Death and night and blood)
(Death and night and blood)

Hey little baby don't you lean down low
Your brain's exposed and it's starting to show
Your rotten thoughts yeuch

(Death and night and blood)
(Death and night and blood)


10. 5 MINUTES

I need a dream where I can live what I said
I need a place where I can make my bed
I need a hole where I'll find darkness now
And if you hassle me mister I might just loose my head

(Chorus)
Five minutes and you're almost there
Five minutes and you're almost dead
Five minutes and you're almost there
Five minutes and you're almost dead

They came home on Saturday night
They killed a cat and they raped his wife
And in their eyes there was fear and hate
And when they spoke, they spoke with knives

(Chorus)

Some say that I should hate them all
But I say that wouldn't help at all
I just wanna find those guys thats all
I just wanna find those guys thats all, that's all, that's all

(Chorus)

The night time comes and the streets they ring
With the fears of a thousand things
But if you worry about your ports of call
You'll never get nothing done at all

(Chorus)

Some say that I should hate them all
But I say that wouldn't help at all
I just wanna find those guys thats all
I just wanna find those guys thats all
I just wanna find those guys thats all, that's all

Et si j'les trouve,
Mon pauvre chouchou, enculés!
J'les aurai!
J'les aurai!


11. GO BUDDY GO

Boogie!
Woogie!

The boys and the girls are all dancing around
Dancing all night to the crazy sound
It's the newest thing to hit this land
The boys and the girls are holding hands

I said
Go Buddy go
Buddy go
Buddy go
Buddy go go go

I'm with my friend Bob having a good time
I got me some speed and I'm doing fine
But Bob he's not dancing saying no sir-ee
He's got a lazy eye on a little lady

I said
Go Buddy go
Buddy go
Buddy go
Buddy go go go

I am what I said
Go Buddy go
Buddy go
Buddy go
Buddy go go go

Yeah, boogie now, Dave

Elbow rooming his way around the floor
Disappearing he's making for the door
All the chickies
They want to see him dance some more

... two! three! four!

Go Buddy go
Buddy go
Buddy go
Buddy go go go

I see we're changing partners but that's not for me
I notice Bob is not joining the party
He's standing on the outside looking in
Wishing that little chickie was with him

I said
Go Buddy go
Buddy go
Buddy go
Buddy go go go

The party is over and we're all going home
I can't find Bob so I'm leaving alone
But wait a minute who is that I can see ?
None other than Bob with that girl on his knee

I said
Go Buddy go
Buddy go
Buddy go
Buddy go go go

Tell me now, I said
Go Buddy go
Buddy go

Buddy go go go

Boogie!

Yeah, I said
Go Buddy go

Buddy go go go

Well I said, I said
Go Buddy go

Buddy go go go

One more time, I said
Go Buddy go
Buddy go
Buddy go
Buddy go go go
