MIS-SHAPES
Mis-shapes, mistakes, misfits. Raised on a diet
of broken biscuits, oh we
don't look at the same as
you, we don't do the things you do, but we live round here too.
Oh
really. Mis-shapes, mistakes,
misfits, we'd like to go to town but we can't risk it, oh 'cause
they
just want to keep us out. You
could end up with a smash in the mouth just for standing out. Oh
really.
Brothers, sisters, can't you
see ? The future's owned by you and me. There won't be fighting
in the
street. They think they've
got us a beat, but revenge is going to be so sweet. We're making
a move,
we're making it now,
we're coming out of the side-lines. Just put your hands up ū
it's raid
yeah. We want your homes,
we want your lives, we want the things you won't allow us. We
won't use
guns, we won't use bombs,
we'll use the one thing we've got more of ūthat's our minds.
Check your
lucky numbers, that much
money could drag under, oh. What's the point of being rich if you
can't
think what do to with it ?
'Cause you're so bleeding thick. Oh we weren't supposed to be, we
learnt
too much at school now
we can't help but see that the future that you've got mapped out
is
nothing much too shout about.
We're making a move, we're making it now, we're coming out of the
side-lines. Just put your hands
up - it's raid yeah. We want your homes, we want your lives, we
want the
things you won't allow us.
We won't use guns, we won't use bombs, we'll use the one thing
we've got
more of ūthat's our
minds. Brothers, sisters, can't you see ? The future's owned by
you and
me. There won't be

And that's our minds. Yeah.
PENCIL SKIRT
When you raise you pencil skirt like a veil
before my eyes, like the look upon
his face as he's zipping up his files. Oh I know that you're
engaged to him. Oh
but I know that you want something to play with baby. I'll be
around when he's
not in town, I'll show you how you're doing it wrong, I really
love it when you
tell me to stop. Oh it's turning me on. You can tell me some lies
about the good
time you've had, but I've kissed your mother twice and now I'm
working on your
dad. Oh baby, I'll be around when he's not in town, I'll show you
how you're
doing it wrong, I really love it when you tell me to stop. Oh
it's turning me
on. If you look under the bed then I can see my house from here,
so just lie
against the wall and watch my conscience disapear. Now baby I'll
be around when
he's not in town, I'll show you how you're doing it wrong, I
really love it when
you tell me to stop. Oh it's turning me on. I only come here
cause I know it
makes you sad yeah. I only do it cause I know you know it's bad.
Oh yeah I know
that it's and it shouldn't be like that, oh but it's turning me
on.
COMMON PEOPLE
She came from Greece she had a thirst of
knowledge, she studied sculpture at St.
Martin's College, that's where I caught her eyes. She told me
that her dad was
loaded, I said « In that case I'll have a run and coca-cola. »
She said « fine »
and in thirty seconds time she said « I want to live like common
people, I want
to do whatever common people do, I want to sleep with common
people like you ».
Well what else could I do? - I said « I'll see what I can do ».
I took her to a
supermarket, I don't know why but I had to start it somewhere, so
I started
there. I said « Pretend you've got no money », she just
laughted and said « Oh
you're so funny ». I said « Yeah? Well I can't see anyone else
smiling in here.
Are you sure you want to live like common people, you want to see
whatever
common people see, you want to sleep with common people, you want
to sleep with
common people like me. » But she didn't understand , she just
smile and held my
hand. Rent a flat above a shop, cut your hair and get a job.
Smoke some fags and
play some pool, pretend you never went to school. But still
you'll never get it
right 'cos when you're laid in bed at night watching roaches
climb the wall if
you called your dad he could stop it all. You'll never live like
common people,
you'll never do what common people do, you'll never fail like
common people,
you'll never watch your life slide out of view, and dance and
drink and screw
because there's nothing else to do. Sing along with the common
people, sing
along and it might just get you thru', laugh along with the
common people, laugh
along even though they're laughting at you and the stupid things
that you do.
Because you think that poor is cool. Like a dog lying in a corner
they will bite
you and never warn you. Look out, they'll tear your inside out,
'cos everybody
hates a tourist especially one who thinks it's all such a laugh
and the chip
stains and grease will come out in the bath. You will never
understand how it
feels to live your life with no meaning or control and with
nowhere left to go.
You are amazed that they exist and they burn so bright whilst you
can only
wonder why. Rent a flat, etc. I want to live with common people
like you, I want
to live with common people like you, etc.
I SPY
spy a boy, I spy a girl, I spy the worse place in
the world. In the whole
world. Oh you didn't do bad, you made it out, I'm still stuck
here. Oh but I'll
get out. Oh yeah I'll get out. Can't you see a giant walks among
you seeing
trough you petty lives? Do you think I do these things for real?
I do these
things just so I survive. And you know I will survive. It may
look to the
untrained eye I'm sitting on my arse all day, I'm biding time
until I'll take
you all on. My Lords and Ladies I will prevail, I cannot fail.
'Cause I spy. Oh
I've got you number, taken notes, I know the way your minds work.
I have
studied. And your minds are just the same as mine except that you
are clever
swines :- You never let your mask slip, you never admit to it,
you're never
hurried. Oh no no no. And every night I hone my plan - how I will
get my
satisfaction, how I will blow your paradise away. 'Cos I spy.
It's just like in
the old days - I used to compose my own critical notices in my
head : « The
crowd gasp at Cocker's masterful control of the bicycle, skifully
avoiding the
dog turd next to the corner shop ». Imagining a blue plaque
above the place I
first ever touch a girl's chest. But hold on you've got to wait
for the best.
You see you should take me seriously, very seriously indeed. 'Cos
I've been
sleeping with your wife for the past 16 weeks. Smoking you
cigarettes, drinking
your brandy, messing up the bed that you choose together. And in
all that time I
just wanted you to come home unexpectedly one afternoon and catch
us at it in
the front room. You see I spy for a living and I specialise in
revenge, on
taking the things I know will cause you pain. I can't help it, I
was dragged up.
My favorite parks are car parks. Grass is something you smoke.
Birds are
something you shag. Take your « Year in Provence » and shove it
up your ass.
Your Landbroke Grove looks turn me on, yeah. With roach burns in
designer
dresses and thousands of tiny dryness lines beating a path to the
corner of your
eyes. And every night I hatch my plan. It's not a case of woman
v. man. It's
more a case of heves against haven'ts and I just happen to have
got what you
need, just exactly what you need yeah. La la la, in the midnight
hour. La la la,
will come to you, I will come to you. I will take you from the
sickness, dinner
parties and champagne. I'll hold your body and make it sing
again. Come on -
sing again, let's sing again. Oh yeah. 'Cos I spy. I spy a boy. I
spy a girl. I
spy a chance to change the world. To change your world.
DISCO 2000
Well we were born within an hour of each other.
Our mothers said we could be
sister and brother. Your name is Deborah, Deborah. It never
suited you oh and
they said that when we grew up we'd get married and never split
up. We never did
it, altough often I though of it. Oh Deborah do you recall? Your
house was very
small with wood-chip on the wall. When I came around to call you
didn't notice
me at all and I said « Lets all meet up in the year 2000. Won't
it be strange
when we're all fully grown? Be there 2 o'clock by the fountain
down the road ».
I never knew that you'd get married. I would be living down here
on my own, on
that damp and lonely Thursday years ago. You were the first girl
at school to
get breasts. Martyn said that you were the best. The boys all
loved you but I
was a mess. I had to watch then try and get you undressed. We
were friends that
was as far as it went. I used to walk you home sometimes but it
meant nothing to
you 'cos you were so popular. Ah Deborah do you recall? Your
house was very
small with wood-chip on the wall. When I came around to call you
didn't notice
me at all and I said « Lets all meet up in the year 2000. Won't
it be strange
when we're all fully grown? Be there 2 o'clock by the fountain
down the road ».
I never knew that you'd get married. I would be living down here

down here on my
own, on that damp and lonely Thursday years ago. Oh what are you
doing Sunday
baby? Would you like to come and meet me maybe? You can even
bring your baby.
Oh.
LIVE BED SHOW
She doesn't have to go to work but she doesn't
want to stay in bed 'cos it's
changed for something confortable to something else instead. This
bed has seen
it all from the first time to the last. The silences of now and
the good times
of the past and it only cost ten pounds from a shop just down the
road - mind
you that was seven years ago and things were very different then.
It don't get
much rest at first, the headboard banging in the night. The
neighbours didn't
dare complain. Oh everything was going right. Now there's no need
to complain
'cos it never makes a sound. Something beautiful left town and
she doesn't even
know its name. Now every night she plays a sad game. Called
pretenting nothing's
going wrong. Oh but she knows if this show was televised no one
would watch it
not tonight but 7 years ago. La la la la la (etc.) Now there's no
need to
complain 'cos it never makes a sound, something beautiful left
town and she
never even knew its name. She doesn't have to go to work but she
doesn't want to
stay in bed 'cos it's changed from something comfortable to
something else
instead.
SOMETHING CHANGED
I wrote this song two hours before we met. I
didn't know your name or what you
looked like yet. Oh I could have stayed at home and gone to bed.
I could have
gone to see a film instead. You might have changed your mind and
seen your
friend. Life could have been very different but then Something
changed. Do you
believe that there's someone up above? And does he have a
timetable directing
acts of love? Why did I write this song on that one day? Why did
you touch my
hand and softly say. « Stop asking questions that don't matter
anyway. Just give
us a kiss to celebrate here today - Something changed ». When we
woke up that
morning we had no way of knowing that in a matter of hours we'd
change the way
we were going. Where would I be now if we'd never met? Would I be
singing the
song to someone else instead? I dunno but like you just said -
Something
changed.
SORTED FOR E'S & WIZZ
Oh is this the way they say the future's meant to
feel? Or just 20,000 people
standing in a field. And I don't quite understand just what this
feeling is. But
that's okay 'cos we're all sorted out for E's & wizz. And
tell me when the
spaceship lands 'cos all this has just got to mean something. In
the middle of
the nite, it feels alright, but then tomorrow morning. Oh then
you come down. Oh
yeah the pirate radio station told us what is going down. Got the
tickets from
some fucked up bloke in Camden Town. Oh and no-one seems to know
exactly where
it is. But that's okay 'cos we're all sorted out for E's &
wizz. At 4 o'clock
the normal world seems very, very, very far away. Alright. In the
middle of the
nite, it feels alright, but then tomorrow morning.Oh then you
come down. Just
keep on moving? Everybody asks your name, they say we're all the
same and it's «
nice one », « geezer » but that's as far as the conversation
went. I lost my
friends, I dance alone, it's 6 o'clock I wanna go home. But it's
« no way », «
not today », makes you wonder what it meant. And this hollow
feeling grows and
grows and grows and grows, and you want to phone your mother and
say « Mother, I
can never come again 'cos I seem to have left an important part
of my brain
somewhere, somewhere in a field in Hampshire ». Alright. In the
middle of the
nite, it feels alright, but then tomorrow morning. Oh then you
come down. Oh
then you come down. What if you never come down?
F.E.E.L.I.N.G.C.A.L.L.E.D.L.O.V.E
The room is cold and has been like this several
months. If I close my eyes I can
visualise everything in it right down, right down to the broken
handle on the
third drawer down of the dressing table. And the world outside
this room has
also assumed a familiar shape :-the same events shuffled in a
slightly different
order each day. Just like a modern shopping centre. And it's so
cold - yeah so
cold. What?is?this feeling called love? Why me? Why you? Why
here? Why now? It
doesn't make no sense. No it's not convenient. No it doesn't fit
my plans. No
it's something I don't understand. Oh. And as I stand and cross
the room I feel
as if whole life has been leading to this one moment. And as I
touch you
shoulder tonight this room has become the centre of the entire
universe. So what
do I do? I've got a slightly sick feeling in my stomach like I'm
standing on top
of a very high building. Oh yeah, all the stuff they tell you
about in the
movies, but this isn't chocolate boxes and roses - it's dirtier
than that, like
some small animal that only comes out at night. And I see flashes
of the shape
of your breasts and the curve of your belly and they make me have
to sit down
and catch my breath. It's so cold yeah it's so cold. What?is?this
feeling called
love? Why me? Why you? Why here? Why now? It doesn't make no
sense. No it's not
convenient. No it doesn't fit my plans but I got that taste in my
mouth again,
oh F.E.E.L.I.N.G.C.A. double L.E.D.L.O.V.E. What is this thing
that is happening
to me? F.E.E.L.I.N.G.C.A. double L.E.D.L.O.V.E. What is this
thing that is
happening to me? Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah.
UNDERWEAR
Why don't you close the door and close the
curtains 'cos you're not going
anywhere? He's coming up the stairs and in a moment he'll want to
see your
underwear. I couldn't stop it now. There's no
way to get out. He's standing far too near, how the hell did you
get here?
Semi-naked in somebody else's room. I'd give my whole life to see
it - just you
stood there only in your underwear. If fashion
is your trade then when you're naked I guess you must be
unemployed yeah. 'Cos
once it's underway there's no escaping the fact that you're a
girl and he's a
boy. I could'nt stop it now.There's no way to get out. He's
standing far too
near. How the hell did you get here? Semi-naked in somebody
else's room. I'd
give my whole life to see it - just you stood there only in your
underwear. If
you couldn't close your eyes and just remember that this is what
you wanted last
night. So why is it so hard for you to touch him? For you to go
and give
yourself to him I couldn't stop it now. There's no way to get
out. He's standing
far too near. How the hell did you get here?
Semi-naked in someone else's room. I'd give my whole life to see
it - just you
stood there only in your underwear.
MONDAY MORNING
There's nothing to do so you just stay in bed,
(oh poor thing). Why live in the
world when you can live in your head? And you can go out late
from Monday till
Saturday turns into Sunday and now you're back here at Monday so
we can do it
all over again. And you go aah ah ah, (etc.) I want a refund, I
want a light, I
want a reason to make it thru the night. Alright. And so you
finally left
school, so now what are you going to do? Now you're so grown up,
yeah you're oh
so mature. Going out late from Monday, chuck up in the street on
Sunday, you
don't want to live till Monday and have to do it all again. And
you go aah ah ah
(etc.) I want a refund, I want a light, I want a reason for all
this night after
night after night after night. Oh I know that it's stupid but I
just can't seem
to spend a night at home 'cos my friends left town and I'm here
all alone. Oh
yeah they say the past must die for the future to be born, in
that case die
little mother. Stomach in. Chest out. On your marks. Get set. Go.
Now, now that
you're free, what are you going to be? And who are you going to
see? And where,
where will you go and how will you knowyou didn't get it all
wrong? Is this the
light of a new day dawning? A future bright that you can walk in?
No it's just
another Monday morning. Do it all over again oh baby. La la la la
la la, (etc.)
Do do do do do do (etc.)
BAR ITALIA
Now if you can stand I would like to take you by
the hand, yeah and go for a
walk past people as they go to work. Oh, let's get out of this
place before they
tell us that we've just died. Move, move quick, you've gotta
move. Come on it's
through, come it's time oh look at you, you, you're looking so
confused just
what did you lose? If you can an order could you get me one? Two
sugars would be
great 'cos I'm fading fast and it's nearly dawn. If they knocked
down this
place, it'd still look much better than you. Move, move quick,
you've gotta
move. Come on it's through, come it's time. Oh look at you, you,
you're looking
so confused just what did you lose? Oh, it's OK - it is just your
mind. If we
get through this alive I'll meet you next week, same place, same
time. Oh,
move, move quick, you've gotta move. Come on it's through, come
it's time. Oh
look at you, you, you're looking so confused just what did you
lose? That's what
you get from clubbing it. You can't go home and go to bed because
it hasn't worn
off yet and now it's morning. There's only one place we can go.
It's round the
corner in Soho. Where other broken people go. Let's go.
