How Sad
A boy loved a girl but the girl said No
She ran away with a handsome Gigolo
He loved her but they were through
So he fed himself to the lions at the zoo
Romeo and Juliet, a wierdo couple that I met
They had a little drink with a strange effect
Some mistakes you can't correct
Ain't it sad about the boys' and the girls'
Ain't it sad about the whole damn world
Love is a thing you can't control
When you're young or when you're old
And I don't play sympathetic parts
So you can keep your broken heart

4321
Over the hill
Into the sun
There's a man shouting
About things to come
We need a change
Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid to follow fashion

4321 here we all come

Now make a move
Now make a stance
Join the crusade
Hear the romance
Another voice says
Says 'come with me'
Come with me
and I'll make you happy

Chinese Takeaway
Went to the fish shop
Went to the chip shop
Went to the burger shop
Didn't have a long stop
Went to these places
Didn't like their faces
No Television
No Competition
I Want A Chinese Takeaway
Now I'm in the right shop
To stop my hunger
Can't make my mind up
I'll just pick a number

Johnny Was a Soldier
Johnny joined the army
The cause he didn't know
He served three years
In the Middle East
You know it doesn't show

Johnny was a soldier
He can't dance anymore

When he came out
He tried to form a band
But he's only got one leg
And he can hardly stand

Now he drinks alone
He gets sentimental
He watches girls dance
And he's thrown away his medals

Disco
...

Eyes in the Back of Your Head
Everything is alright, everything is fine
All you got is money and all I got is time
Everybody's happy
Everyone's relaxed
Everybody's charming
but someone's gotta attack

You better be alert
cause you're gonna hurt
and you better beware
'cause no one will care
so you better beware
Eyes front eyes left
Eyes front eyes right
You need eyes in the back of your head

Joker in the Pack
Oh my boots they shine
And my bowler looks fine
Take some time and care
Take a look at my hair
We hit the dance hall
So smart and so chic
I make them laught a lot
I make them accept me
Secrets are spoken
Plans are drawn in the dust
With a gay bravado
I'm taken into their trust
Oh my boots they shine
And my bowler looks fine
But don't confide in my smile
Because jokers are wild

Lullaby
You don't look so good
You don't look so fine
Do you think that you've
Gone too far this time

O' I'll sing you a lullaby

Is your head aching
Is your body weak
Is the floor moving
Can't you speak
How do you feel
How do you know
Do you wish you were at home
But it's a long way to go
Find a corner
Go right down
Go to sleep
You won't hear a sound

(My Baby Got Run over by a) Steamroller
She thought I had left her
But I could never do that
Now it's too late to tell her

She was my only baby
She used to drive me crazy
Now it's too late to save her

I didn't get the number
As she was going under
It was a case of hit and run.

Let's go
...

Easy Way Out
We've all been born
to live out lives in security
How do we know if we'll die
or if we will recover?
From day to day
We live our lives the same way
No money to hold in our hands
and no time to spend it.

So I chose the easy way out
To do my body some harm
Cut my throat and slashed my wrist
I even tried electricity
Cut my throat
Slashed my wrist
It was the easy way out.

Shake Rattle Bang Your Head
Hey you, I'll tell you what to do
I'll tell you what I know
Hey Hey don't go away
We got a lot to say

Yeah Yeah you don't have to care
But do it anyway
Yes if you want success
O my advise is.....

Hey man don't you know I can
Make you someone
Hey Hey you can be a star
All you have to do is.....

Shake Rattle Bang Your Head!

A Man's Gotta Do
I heard her scream
From the tower above
My heart it wanted to help
But the soldiers' who guard
Would surely stop my attempt

Well, a man's gotta do
What a man's gotta do

I scaled the wall
At night after dark
The coast was o' so clear
When i reached
the young maiden's cell
My heart was o' so near

As we made off
Into the night
My maiden in my arms
I thought it was just like the movies
Eat your heart out Errol Flynn!
