2.Cartrouble
Adam Ant
have you ever had a ride in a light blue car？
have you ever stopped to think
who's the slave and who's the master？
have you ever had trouble with your
automobile？
have you ever had to
push push push push？
cartrouble
you might have seen them very busy at the
weekends licking and polishing the beep-
beeps into
shape and then its proudly up the M.1. M.2.
M.3.
and keep your feet off the upholstery Ronnie
cartrouble oh yeah
and remember this：-
you don't need anything after an icecream
I used to sit at home silently and wonder
why all the preference is polishing the
chrome
while all the mothers and the sisters and the
babies
sit and rot at home
cartrouble oh yeah
and remember this
you don't need anything after an icecream
car carcar trouble car carcar trouble ...
3.Digital Tenderness
Adam Ant
why does this feeling of togetherness
always scare me away？
why do the feelings that I have for you
have to become a word ？
don't say you 'love' me-oh no
don't ask that from me-oh no no
that alphabet you call love
that alphabet you call love
that alphabet you call love
is just a digital tenderness
tenderness
here is the start for so many broken people
all with a hard luck story
and a sad sad tale
don't say you love me-oh no
don't ask that from me-oh no no
that alphabet you call love
that alphabet you call love
that alphabet you call love
is just a digital tenderness
tenderness
sometimes
I need to be by myself
I need to be by your side
I need
sometimes
I need the company of art
I ned the company of friends
I need you
and my heart is stronger
than a four-letter-long word
searching the eyes of so many broken
people
whose cowardice proved much too strong
for vice
don't say you 'love' me ...
oh no
don't ask that from me
no no no
that alphabet you call 'love'
that alphabet you call 'love'
4.Family Of Noise
Adam Ant
a lot of people in this great big-world
say 'love everybody'
a lot of people busy busy busy busy busy
being very modern
chorus：
but the family of noise is here
and it's come to save everybody
the family of noise is here
and it's come to save you and me
it goes：
the family of noise is here
and it's come to save everybody
the family of noise is here
and it's come to save you and me
a lot of people in the ancient world
they loved only quiet
and then along came the machine
and a new direction
the family of noise is here
and it's come to save everybody
the family of noise is here
and it's come to save you and me
it goes：
in the morning
last thing at night
in the darkness
standing in the light
a lot of people in this great big world
just searching for the 'pure' sound
they're just looking to the machine
they don't listen to the noise
the family of noise is here
and it's come to save you and me
-in Croydon
5.Kick
From the 'Antmusic' EP
I was walking down the street
I saw a man with one arm
I was walking down the same street, same street
I saw a man with one arm
One day, two men, one arm......KICK!
I was sitting on the underground
I saw a young lady sigh
I was sitting on the same train, same train
I saw a check lady cry
One day, two men, one arm......KICK!
6.Never Trust A Man(With Egg On His Face)
A man and a woman walking down the street
With a son and a daughter it was oh so sweet
When Mummy turned to Daddy and she said：'My dear,
Write out your will the end is near'
Then she pulled out the gun,
I saw the sparks
Messed up the suit that he'd bought from Marks
Because
She'd heard the voices from Outer Space
She'd heard the voices from Outer Space
She'd heard the voices from Outer Space
Saying 'Never trust a man with egg on his face'
Three months later Mrs B stands
A smile on her face, blood on her hands
The kiddies got scared and have run home to bed
The headlines in the papers said that
She was the victim of an awful plan
Announced through the mouthpiece of a little green man
She'd heard the voices from Outer Space
Saying 'Never trust a man with egg on his face'
Never trust a man with egg on his face
La-La, La-La, La-La, La-La, La-La, La-La
La-La, La-La, La-La, La-La, La-La, La-La
La-La, La-La, La-La, La-La, La-La.
7.Nine Plan Failed
Adam Ant
after nine years in the army
they took away his brain
they tattooed 'defect' on his brow
and signed him up again
he killed ten thousand germans
a hundred japanese
a family of hindus
and a lot of portugese
nine plan failed
I could never see the point
of showing them you're boss
when they drag you through the city streets
and naiI you to a cross
they took him to the office
they strapped him to the bed
they fastened lots of pretty wires
securely to his head
they wheeled him down the corridor
upon a metal trolley
now he wears big spectacles
and he sings like Buddy Holly
nine plan failed
I could never see the point
of showing them you're boss
when they drag you through the city streets
and nail you to a cross
the world declared its armistice
and took away his guns
and now he satisfies himself
on piss-weak tea and buns
on piss-weak tea and buns
oh oh
at the disco
Rome is very pretty
and Rome is very grand
but the Pope lost his four fingers
when they gave this boy his hand to kiss
when they gave this boy his hand to kiss
it wasn't funny no
he wasn't very good at school
his highest grade was C
but he believed the managers
when they said：-
'you leave it all to me'
they gave him suits from Saville Row
the quality so fine
so now he sits in the desert wastes
just waiting for a sign
nine plan failed
8.The Idea
Adam Ant
I went to the zoo
to look at the animals
the first thing I saw
was a wallfull of handclaps
some wearing green hats
and all sucking chocky bars
so I went and looked at
the three horned chameleon
the idea
he walked up and down
just trying to get close to me
a split little hand
scratching at the glass
I looked at the snakes
and I looked at the crocodiles
you'd better
show me the man
who made all of this
the idea
I could be religious if ...
you didn't have to kneel down
I could be religious if ...
a god would say 'hello'
I could be religious if ...
an angel touched my shoulder
I could be religious if ...
they set the hymns to disco
(like this)
holy holy holy
lord god almighty
god in three persons
beloved trinity
holy holy holy
all the saints adore thee
christ in three persons
belovedtrinity
the idea
9.Whip In My Valise
Adam Ant
when I met you you were just sixteen
pulling the wings off flies
when an old lady got hit by a truck
I saw the wicked gleam in your eyes
your sadistic suits my masochistic
and theres a whip in may valise on yeah
who taught you to torture？
who taught ya？
who taught ya？
who taught ya？
who taught ya？
describe the special punishment room
over my garage, theres a
whipping post, a vertical beam
you have to be in charge
I payed a packet
for a new straight jacket
and theres a whip in my valise oh yeah
you put my head into the stocks
and then you went to choose a cane
but hey your cat has got nine tails
you like to leave me lame
I can't thank her, my Sunday Spanker
there's a whip in my valise oh yeah
who taught you to torture？
who taught ya？
