1.Turning Japanese

TURNING JAPANESE
as recorded by The Vapors

I've got your picture
Of me and you
You wrote 'I love you'
I love you too
I sit there staring and there's nothing else to do

Oh it's in color
Your hair is brown
Your eyes are hazel
And soft as clouds
I often kiss you when there's no one else around

I've got your picture, I've got your picture
I'd like a million of them all 'round my cell
I asked the doctor to take your picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
You've got me turning up and turning down and turning in and
turning 'round

I'm turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think
so
Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so
I'm turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think
so
Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so

I've got your picture, I've got your picture
I'd like a million of them all 'round my cell
I want the doctor to take your picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
You've got me turning up and turning down and turning in and
turning 'round

I'm turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think
so
Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so
I'm turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think
so
Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so

No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women
No fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it's dark
Everyone around me is a total stranger
Everyone avoids me like a psyched lone ranger
Everyone

That's why I'm turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I
really think so
Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so
I'm turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think
so
Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so

Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so
Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so
Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so
(think so think so think so)
Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so


2.Wasted

By Dave Fenton

Don't think I told you 'bout this dream I had
Me and these friends of mine were feelin' bad
'Cause we were wasted
Wasted on the likes of You

Feel like a semaphoring Happy Jack
Caucasion crucifix upon our backs
Yeah, we were wasted
Wasted on the likes of You

Well we've got powers in our jeans You've never dreamed
And we've got words You've never heard and never seen
Yeah, we've been wasted

I heard you hummin' on the telephone
I spoke to Monroe, Garbo, Truman, Capone
But, they were wasted
Wasted on the likes of You

Oh, come along
Come along
Come along
Come along

I met a man today who sold me an icecream
I took his number down in case we were seen
He looked so much better

I took my first real taste of porcupine tea
Loretta looked much better than you'd think she could be
She looked so much better
I really think she rule it out

I think I'll take a look at what I could be
She showed me lots of things that I'd never seen
'Cause she was wasted
Wasted on the likes of You

Maybe one day we can stop on the screen
And lay back royalties from me unseen
Cause we've been wasted
Wasted on the likes of You, yeah, You, yeah
Wasted on the likes of You, yeah, You, yeah
Wasted on the likes of You, yeah, You, yeah
Wasted on the likes of You, yeah, You, yeah
Wasted on the likes of You


3.Spiders

Songwriters:Hall, Richard

She's got spiders inside her head
She's in danger she's easily led
She's on a mission from morning till night
She takes pictures with infra-red light
Secret agent miss Z-P-19
I still love you miss Z-P-19
But every morning when she jumps out of bed
She shakes the spiders playing inside her head

Oh my baby what shall we do
Babys in a black web I'm feeling blue
Johnnys in the cornershop waiting for you
He's got lots of
Lookout Johnny she's got spiders
Inside her head
She can't control her baby spiders
She wants them dead

She's got radar remote control
She's got Tv in every hole
She's got camera behind her eyes
She's warm and dangerous in every disguise

Oh my baby what shall we do
Babys in a black web I'm feeling blue
Johhnys in the cornershop waiting for you
He's got lots of
Lookout Johnny she's got spiders
All around her door
She can't control her baby spiders
Anymore

She's up and humming at the discostation
When all she really wants is regulations
You're up and humming at the discostation
Up and spinning like a yo yo

And every morning when she catches her train
She taps the telephones in passenger brains


4.Somehow

By Dave Fenton


I've seen it before

I know the score


You're trying to be wild and carefree

You really can't take it no more


I'm trying to think
I can't think clear

Everybody's talking to me

It's gone foggy in here


But as time goes marching home again

It leaves me to reflect
Or was this just a waste of time

Or was this time well spent


And if it marches back again

And orders me to smile
Then will I be prepared

Or will it take a little while


Don't leave me

Don't leave me

Don't leave me now

I'll make it up to you somehow


Don't leave me

Don't leave me

Don't leave me now
I'll make it up to you somehow


I've listened to you

Please listen to me

Don't tie us up completely


Just wait and see


I'll try very hard for a second chance

Which is it to be? One dead romance

Or a handful of dreams? Please tell me

It makes all the difference to me

And I really want to know


I've done so many things I suddenly regret

IfI could only compromise and you'd try to forget

A single kiss, a lovers wish, the past dissolves in tears

The present burns inside of me, the future disappears


Don't leave me

Don't leave me


Don't leave me now

I'll make it up to you somehow


Don't leave me

Don't leave me
Don't leave me now


I'll make it up to you somehow


Oh Yes I will and I'll go

Out of my way to make you happy

Till the sun don't shine and sky stops turning blue


I really want to know


Could I ever be happy
Without somebody who really cared


Somebody like you


Don't leave me

Don't leave me

Don't leave me now

I'll make it up to you somehow


Don't leave me

Don't leave me

Don't leave me now

I'll make it up to you somehow


Don't leave me

Don't leave me

Don't leave me now

I'll make it up to you somehow


Don't leave me

Don't leave me


Don't leave me now
I'll make it up to you somehow


Yes I will


5.News At Ten

Time's gonna make you a man someday
And you won't want to go out and play with your friends
You'll just sit at home and watch News At Ten
And the pubs'll be closed and you won't have been with your
friends

And he picks up the paper and appears to be quite serious
And you smile at him and agree 'cus he's your old man
But still I can't hear you (still I can't hear you)
You make no sense to me
Still I can't hear you (still I can't hear you)
When the time comes I'll disagree with your policy... with your
policy

When you get home from work about half past six
You've been working real hard and you feel real sick with the
whole world
And your dinner's in the oven and it's all dried up
And your mom don't like it 'cus you messed her up for the
evening

So you pick up a paper and appear to be quite serious
And you smile at him and agree 'cus he's your old man
But still I can't hear you (still I can't hear you)
You make no sense to me
Still I can't hear you (still I can't hear you)
When the time comes I'll disagree with your policy... your
policy...

With your policy... your policy

(GTR solo)

Time's gonna make you a man someday
And you won't want to go out and play
You'll just sit at home and watch News At Ten
And the pubs'll be closed and you won't have been
When you get home from work about half past six
You've been working real hard and you feel real sick
And your dinner's in the oven and it's all dried up
And your mom don't like it 'cus you messed her up
But you don't wanna sit tight you don't wanna play it cool
You don't wanna whole life like the first day at school
And I wanna fight wars and I wanna die young
So don't keep saying like father like son
I can't hear you (still I can't hear you)
You make no sense to me
I can't hear you (still I can't hear you)
When the time comes I'll disagree
But still I can't hear you (I can't hear...)
I said you make no sense to a boy like me
I can't hear you (still I can't hear you)
Still I can't hear you (still I can't hear you)
Still I can't hear you (still I can't hear you)
Still I can't hear you (still I can't hear you)


6.Jimmie Jones

Do you wanna feel good, Do you wanna feel anything
Do you wanna keep searching cos there's no other reason
Do you wanna feel small, Do you wanna fight back
Do you wanna new soul to stop your heart attack
Do you wanna take a walk then come into the garden with me

They tell me Jimmie's seen a sign, says he understands
everything
They tell me Jimmie's got a line to the man from the ministry
But Jimmies on sale, He's got a mouth to feed
He's got a mission in life, A thousand lives to lead
Do you wanna take his hand and come into the garden with me

Jimmie Jones and his soul clones will get you (Jimmies got a
place for me)

There's a rumour going round that the garden's not the place to
be
And little Jimmies in the dark between the devil and the deep
blue sea
So we've all gotta change clothes and we've all gotta change
sides
We gotta love you, leave you miles behind
But if you wanna talk a walk then come into the garden with me

Jimmie Jones and his soul clones will get you (Jimmies got a
place for me)

Heaven is, heaven is
Jimmie says, heaven is
Heaven is logical, heaven is physical, wonderful, beautiful,
saleable, cynical
Heaven is the space between your eyes where you disguise your
little lives

Jimmie Jones and his soul clones will get you (Jimmies got a
place for me)


7.Cold War

Little White Dogs in Black and Chains
Screaming indignation at your high class games
Till the Lights go out
Shut your eyes and go back home

Cramped and shocked in leather jeans
Stoning Priests and Virgins 'cos they're much too clean
For your new machine
Shut your eyes and go back home

But you've been sitting up all night long
Lying in wait where you don't belong
Shooting up strangers
And I've been covering up for you
Making up songs you can see right through
Someone's in danger
Think I'm in danger

You play left handed for the revolution
You over-estimate the quick solution
But you'll get there soon
Get ready for another Cold War
Another Cold War Oh oh
Another Cold War
Another Cold War Oh oh Oh Oh
But you get let down
When you ask for more
But you rescued me
So I won't stop this automatic lie

'cos you've been sitting up all night long
Lying in wait where you don't belong
Shooting up strangers
And I've been covering up for you
Making up songs you can see right through
Someone's in danger
Think I'm in danger
Is this a military state
Is this a military state I'm in
Repeat


8.Bunkers

I could take another little ride in the country
Drive my mule down a lane or two
Maybe I'll recall what it was by the country
That made me so excited when I moved downtown

Or maybe it's the noise in the streets and the car parks
Maybe it's the kids as they swarm around
Maybe it's the tires that they burn past my window
Or maybe it's the corner where they all hang out

I got no idea where we go from here
Maybe that's why we're living in Bunkers
I got no idea where we go from here
Maybe that's why we're living in Bunkers

We're living in... we're living in... we're living in...

I went down the road to see the end of the movie
Cus I really like the part where the heroine dies
She takes away so many million secrets
But she tells just a few when she closes her eyes

I reckon that's the high and the low of my weekend
I reckon that's all the crazy wool they can pull
I reckon when tomorrow comes I'll be normal
I reckon I may even go back to school

(CHORUS)

Government thugs keep me in for the week
They call out the cops if I'm seen on the street
'It drives me spoolers' in millions of ways
I think I'll be a government thug one day

Don't tell me in anger just tell me for real
Why does everybody try to be a real big wheel
It doesn't matter but if they live on the street
With all these cowboys and Bunkers and creeps

(CHORUS)
