Bullshit Paradise 04:23
lyrics
I can walk on cobbled streets in my bullshit paradise I can shop in kitsch boutiques in my bullshit paradise High heels, fake tan and poker dots Briefcases, pinstripe suits I got everything that I don’t need In my bullshit paradise, in my bullshit paradise In a place not far from here Something’s going wrong Because someone’s been left alone And we have no time to care We’re just trying to make a living They got us working to the bone But I can drink on cobbled streets in my bullshit paradise Blow the lot in kitsch boutiques in my bullshit paradise Champagne, Ray-Ban, I’m looking hot Flash cars, Rolex and bling I got everything that I don’t need oh no I can dance on cobbled streets in my bullshit paradise I can own a kitsch boutique in my bullshit paradise Designer handbags, party yachts Cufflinks, hair gel, cravat I got everything that I don’t need In my bullshit paradise, in my bullshit paradise I want the latest mobile phone And the biggest television Got to keep up with the Joneses But what’s the value in all these things? Are we just looking for approval? I think we substitute for love I can live on cobbled streets in my bullshit paradise Sleep outside a kitsch boutique in my bullshit paradise Langoustine limousines, I bought... Ed Hardy caviar I got everything that I don’t need In my bullshit paradise, in my bullshit paradise In my bullshit paradise, in my bullshit paradise In my bullshit paradise I got everything that I don’t need In my bullshit paradise, in my bullshit paradise

Deja Vu 03:59
lyrics
I’m living for tomorrow, it’s what I’m waiting for I’m dreaming of no sorrow, is that too much to ask for? There ain’t gonna be no revolution As it goes around and around Like something I’ve heard before Deja vu is nothing I can ignore Round and around like something I’ve heard before Deja vu and what goes around comes around Like something I’ve heard before Deja vu is nothing I can ignore Round and around like something I’ve heard before I’ve seen it all before And what is it all about she wonders, my grandma’s 93 And if she don’t have the answers then what hope is there for me? There ain’t gonna be no evolution As it goes around and around Like something I’ve heard before Deja vu is nothing I can ignore Round and around like something I’ve heard before Deja vu and what goes around comes around Like something I’ve heard before Deja vu is nothing I can ignore Round and around like something I’ve heard before Deja vu I’ve seen it all before Deja vu, deja vu, deja vu Deja vu, deja vu, deja vu There ain’t gonna be no retribution As it goes around and around Like something I’ve heard before It's nothing I can ignore Round and around like something I’ve heard before Deja vu What goes around comes around, deja vu What goes around comes around, deja vu What goes around comes around

Love ain’t always easy, oh no She give me goosebumps, goosebumps, every hair in the air Goosebumps, goosebumps, every hair in the air I knew a girl, loved a girl that I met Gave her anything, everything and yet it wasn’t enough no It felt so right when it’s wrong, don’t know why I thought that love was all we needed to rely on, to rely on Cos now the hair is standing on the back of my neck And I got this feeling that I’ll never forget But you give me loving that I’ll always regret And I need it but I don’t want it anymore She give me goosebumps, goosebumps, every hair in the air Goosebumps, goosebumps, every hair in the air Electric, ecstatic, instant, automatic love It’s taken me over yeah This girl had something but we fought about so much stuff Guess love wasn’t enough to rely on The hair is standing on the back of my neck And I got this feeling that I’ll never forget But you give me loving that I’ll always regret And I need it but I don’t want it anymore Baby, baby, baby, love ain’t always easy oh no Baby, baby, baby, I said love ain’t always easy yeah Cos now the hair is standing on the back of my neck And I got this feeling that I’ll never forget But you give me something that I’ll always regret And I need it but I don’t want it anymore She give me goosebumps, goosebumps, on the back of my neck Goosebumps, goosebumps, maybe it’s for the best Goosebumps, goosebumps, on the back of my neck Goosebumps, goosebumps, maybe it’s for the best Love ain’t always easy, oh no

Grey Skies 03:45
lyrics
I got grey skies Looking at the silver lining shining down on me Grey skies I swear that this winter weather won’t tether in my wings Turn on the tap, I got hot water Pick up the phone and I got a friend Got some pennies in my pocket And I have music to keep me satisfied I got grey skies Looking at the silver lining shining down on me Grey skies I swear that this winter weather won’t tether in my wings Lay down my head, I got a pillow Turn round in bed and I got my lover too And in the morning we’ll drink some coffee And we have music to see this love on through We got grey skies Looking at the silver lining shining down on me and you Grey skies I swear that this winter weather won’t tether in our wings Grey skies, grey skies, grey skies, and this winter weather Sipping drinks around the table They all got such sad stories to tell They try to smile, sometimes they’re able And they have music to warm their hearts as well Because they got grey skies Looking at the silver lining shining down on me and them Grey skies I swear that this winter weather won’t tether in our wings Grey skies Looking at the silver lining shining down Grey skies I swear that this winter weather won’t tether a thing

Magazine Dreams 04:12
lyrics
We used to walk this land every day Just taking what we need and giving the rest away But now it’s different, no, it’s not the same Cos hope and ambition is washing us astray Magazine dreams, magazine dreams Messing me up, getting me down Magazine dreams, these magazine dreams So unreal, unnatural We went to our neighbours place after school Playing together in the streets, playing like fools Now we’re all separate and acting cool Too many fears inside, too many rules Magazine dreams, magazine dreams Messing me up, getting me down Magazine dreams, these magazine dreams So unreal, unnatural I would like to buy a copy of this paper magazine I don’t care about what it cost to make this magazine So take my photograph to put inside your magazine And if I don’t look good enough to be featured in your... Magazine, I’ll lie, I’ll cry, I’ll die There has to be some place where nobody cares If you look like a magazine, Lord take me there Cos we buy and sell and lie until free becomes unfair We rape and pillage everything just for our wares With magazine dreams, magazine dreams Messing us up, getting us down Magazine dreams, these magazine dreams So unreal, unnatural

Living In New Jersey 03:56
lyrics
Across the ocean is a friend to me, living in New Jersey Like locomotion across the sea, living in New Jersey And she says everything’s gonna be alright And she says everything’s gonna be fine We’re just looking for the way on through to perfect love We’re just looking for the way on through to perfect love Sweet lady tell me how it’s gonna be, living in New Jersey A rosy temple of fantasy, living in New Jersey And she says everything’s gonna be alright And she says everything’s gonna be fine We’re just looking for the way on through to perfect love We’re just looking for the way on through to perfect love She has got the key She has been calling me She speaks of the love in your own heart When I say I’ve lost my way She doesn’t turn away She’s talking of the signs And the path to find the love in your own heart The love in your own heart The love in your own heart The love in your own... the love in your own heart Special moments on New Year’s Eve, living in New Jersey Crashing parties and feeling free, living in New Jersey And she says everything’s gonna be alright And she says everything’s gonna be fine And she says everything’s gonna be alright And she says everything’s gonna be fine We’re just looking for the way on through to perfect love We’re just looking for the way on through to perfect love We’re just looking for the way on through to perfect love We’re just looking for the way on through to perfect love

Retarded Nation 05:21
lyrics
This retarded nation Hey, can I grab your attention? May I distract you from your busy day? I’d love to hear your opinion An observation of society Yeah, so take a look around you It’s so common it’s hard not to see Our hindered and complicated struggle To be so unaware of life’s simplicity And here’s what we’re trying to say This retarded nation has got no coordination This retarded nation has got no coordination Pleased to meet you, how are you doing? And where are you hailing from? Tell me what you do for a living In case I’m getting you wrong Now, are you gay or straight, are you married? And how many kids do you have? And if you’re keeping up with the taxman How the hell you doing that? When they’re wasting everything they can This retarded nation has got no coordination This retarded nation has got no coordination Cos it was P.C. in the bureaucracy Then P.C. in the academy Now it’s P.C. even on the streets Iit’s a P.C. cultural lobotomy Existing against your will to survive And evolving out of time with nature’s design Slaves to the illusion of what money can by It’s a selfish lie; it’s just a selfish... lie (Mama don't pay no taxes, Papa don't pay no bills) This retarded nation has got no coordination (Mama don't pay no taxes, Papa don't pay no bills) This retarded nation has got no coordination This retarded nation has got no coordination This retarded nation has got no coordination This retarded nation

Follow Me Home 03:30
lyrics
Follow me home I don’t write no poetry Cos I just say what I want to say And I can’t hide, skirting around I just walk, I go my own way I will walk alone, I will walk alone I will walk alone til I find my way home So follow me home cos I don’t want to be on my own I will walk alone, I will walk alone I will walk alone til I get myself home So follow me home or I’ll arrive on my own Follow me home Across the bridge to your heart It’s where you live but we’ve been running away Got no map and there ain’t no chart Back to the start, that’s where everything was ok I will walk alone, I will walk alone I will walk alone til I find my way home So follow me home cos I don’t want to be on my own I will walk alone, I will walk alone I will walk alone til I get myself home So follow me home or I’ll arrive on my own I don’t write no poetry I’m trying to build some peace in my mind Yesterday I was holding on But I can’t stop the passage of time I will walk alone, I will walk alone I will walk alone til I find my way home So follow me home cos I don’t want to be on my own I will walk alone, I will walk alone I will walk alone til I get myself home So follow me home, just follow me home Follow me home, Follow me home Cos I don’t want to be on my own

Necromancer 03:36
lyrics
I met her yesterday, it’s been 24 hours I can’t wait to feel her eyes upon my face When will I stop these games wasting time? Take this pain away, I’m getting tired of the chase She’s my necromancer, she said all we need is that Ooh-la-la, ooh-la-la Not taking no for an answer, all we really need is some Ooh-la-la, ooh-la-la She took me to her place, told me things I’ve never heard before, heart and soul, rush and race And in this sacred space I just can’t get enough I want more of taking footsteps in her grace She’s my necromancer, she said all we need is that Ooh-la-la, ooh-la-la Not taking no for an answer, all we really need is some Ooh-la-la, ooh-la-la Singing, I got expectations, trials and tribulations Words and implications on the TV station I see the population in a dark formation What’s the explanation? She said all we need is that... Ooh-la-la, ooh-la-la She’s my necromancer, she said all we need is that... Not taking no for an answer, all we really need is some... She’s my necromancer, she said all we need is that Ooh-la-la, ooh-la-la Not taking no for an answer, all we really need is some Ooh-la-la, she is my necromancer

Welcome Home 05:06
lyrics
Lady don’t put your heart in my hand Cos tomorrow I’ll be in another foreign land Maybe we could make this one night stand But please don’t put your heart in my hand Lady I know and understand Your heart isn’t safe in my hand Maybe if I was a different man Then you could place your heart in my hand And I feel like something has to change But I know that some things always stay the same They never change They just stay the same They always stay the same And you will never be the one to say... No you will never be the one to say... Welcome home, cos can’t hold on Welcome home, cos can’t hold on And I feel like something has to change But I know that some things always stay the same And I feel like something has to change But I know that some things always stay the same They never change They just stay the same They always stay the same

Start A Fire 03:48
lyrics
Start a fire, start a fire in your heart Start a fire, start a fire I'm sick and tired, sick and tired of this life So start a fire, start a fire and burn it up Start a riot, start a riot in your life Start a riot, start a riot Cos nothing’s right, nothing’s right in this world So start a riot, start a riot and tear it down Miracle, I'm not relying on a miracle But I’d be lying if I said I still believe that I can make it now And while you’re wishing for a miracle I’m not relying on a miracle Cos I’ve been living for the next big thrill I’m going to make it happen now Start a fight, start a fight in your world Start a fight, just start a fight If day and night, day and night demons call Just start a fight, start a fight and kill them off Miracle, I'm not relying on a miracle But I’d be lying if I said I still believe that I can make it now And while you’re wishing for a miracle I’m not relying on a miracle Cos I’ve been living for the next big thrill I’m going to make it happen now Start a fire, start a fire in your heart Start a fire, start a fire, a fire Miracle, I'm not relying on a miracle But I’d be lying if I said I still believe that I can make it now And while you’re wishing for a miracle I’m not relying on a miracle Cos I’ve been living for the next big thrill I’m going to make it happen now Miracle, I’m not relying on a miracle And while you’re wishing for a miracle I’m going to make it happen now

lyrics

She puts her make up on for another working day And tries to smile as if everything’s ok She got it all wrapped up A little box to put her dreams in She makes a velvet bow A little box to keep her dreams in She cries inside her room where no one sees her face Mirror on the wall can hide what she can’t replace She got it all wrapped up A little box to put her dreams in She makes a velvet bow A little box to keep her dreams in She takes her make up off and sleeps the night away She got it all wrapped up A little box to put her dreams in She breaks the velvet bow A little box to see her dreams in She got it all wrapped up

Waiting To See 08:36
lyrics
I’m waiting to see, waiting to see I’m waiting to see, waiting to see, what happens to we We got chemicals and pesticides Vaccinations and suicides As a humpback whale lands on the beach Cos the sea’s too polluted to eat in Cut down trees, kill oxygen They breathe CO2, not enough of them We got coal and oil, got gasoline Do a half assed job of the free and clean There’s something fundamentally wrong with the structure of society I’m waiting to see, waiting to see I’m waiting to see, waiting to see, what happens to we I close my eyes to sleep, can’t get to sleep Cogs in my mind turning around The generation where youth is bored Nothing to do or to aim for With drugs and booze self-medicate With violence retaliate Then soldiers of the world collide In fight for patriotic pride So we go to war for energy And sell them into debt slavery And I can’t help thinking these things are all connected Fingerprints, DNA on databases, CCTV Life has a price called healthcare budgets Policeman collecting on monthly targets Torture we legitimise, national security hides the crime Crony capitalism relies on sale of weapons to survive There’s something fundamentally wrong with the fabric of economy Why won’t you let me sleep, just let me sleep Cogs in my mind are turning round Now journalists with wiretaps Spew propaganda to fill the gaps All questions must be pre-approved In fear of what they have to lose They assassinate and ridicule When they know you’re onto something cool But I'm sure I've seen this all before In a book called 1984 There’s something fundamentally wrong with the structure of society I’m waiting to see, waiting to see I’m waiting to see, waiting to see I’m waiting to see, waiting to see I’m waiting to see, waiting to see, what happens to we There’s something fundamentally wrong with the structure of society
