1.The World's On Fire
There's a couple sunbathing on a freshly mown lawn in England
It's a house with a view and all you see is green and blue for
miles
The local Vicar has pretended that the church is well attended
this morning
As he wanders without purpose to the Sunday Service he smiles
{Oh-ho!} What a beautiful morning
{Oh-ho!} What a beautiful day
{Oh-ho!} What a sickening feeling
It took this long to make it, now we're throwing it away
Now, I was told not to play with fire
I said, look out Church the flames grow higher
I said, watch those flames lick that spire
I said, look our Church the falmes grow higher
{The World's on Fire}
There's a curtain closed early in an upstairs room in England
There's a couple misbehabving when they should've been praising
Sunday
And there's a bounce in a walk and the neighbours stop to talk
for hours
And when eyebrows are raised at the next song of praise come
Monday
{Oh-ho!} What a beautiful morning
{Oh-ho!} What a beautiful day
{Oh-ho!} What a sickening feeling
It took this long to make it, now we're throwing it away
Now, I was told not to play with fire
I said, look out Church the flames grow higher
I said, watch those flames lick that spire
I said, look our Church the falmes grow higher
{The World's on Fire}
The world's on fire!
2.Me and the Farmer
Me and the farmer get on fine
Through stormy weather and bottles of wine
If I pull my weight he'll treat me well
But if I'm late he'll give me hell
And thought it's all hard work no play
Farmer is a happy crook
Jesus hates him everyday
'Cause jesus gave and farmer took
{Won't he let you go？} Probably no
{Won't he let you go？} Probably no
{Why does he treat you so？} I just don't know
{Why does he treat you so？} I just don't know
Me and the farmer like brother, like sister
Getting on like hand and blister
Me and the farmer
He's chpped down shppe, planted trees
And helped the countryside to breathe
Ripped up fields, bullied flocks
And workded his workers right around the clock
It may seem strange but he'd admit
Intentions aren't exactlly true
and through God loves his wife a bit
He hates the farmer through and through
{Won't he let you go？} Probably no
{Won't he let you go？} Probably no
{Why does he treat you so？} I just don't know
{Why does he treat you so？} I just don't know
Me and the farmer like brother, like sister
Getting on like hand and blister
Me and the farmer
All things bright and beautiful
All creatures gr3eat and small
All we've got is London Zoo
'Cause farmer owns them all
3.Five Get over Excited
Fun, fun, fun (Jeremy)
Me, me, me (Fifi)
Take, take, take (Jeremy)
Fun, fun, fun
James Dean posters on their wall
{Five killed in a car-crash}
What a sad little end to it all
{Five killed in a car-crash}
Last seen having lots of fun
{Five dumped in a river}
Barefoot and on the run
{Five dumped in a river}
I am mad from Scandinavia
I want a guy in the London area
He must be crazy and Sagitarius
'Cause I'm Leo and I'm hilarious
Fun, fun, fun (Jeremy)
Me, me, me (Fifi)
Take, take, take (Jeremy)
Fun, fun, fun
Last seen drinking Daddy's own beer
{Five poisoned over dinner}
Singing Abba's 'Mamma Mia'
{Five poisened over dinner}
Drop dead watching Thunderbirds fly
{Five get over excited}
Poster on their wall says 'Why？'
{Five get over excited}
I am Guy from Camden Town
My hair is curly but I gel it down
My clothes are black buyt my bread is brown
I'm really into early Motown
Fun, fun, fun (Jeremy)
Me, me, me (Fifi)
Take, take, take (Jeremy)
Fun, fun, fun
Feigning concern, a conservative pastime
Makes you feel doubtful right from the start
The expression she pulls is exactlly like last time
You've got to conclude she just hasn't a heart
4.You Better Be Doubtful
Tinker, you better place another bet
The rich up in the castle haven't finished eating yet
They'll throw you a bone or a spat-out stone
But knowing them that's all you'll get
Tailor, you better close another shop
No-one wants your quality, make do with what you've got
They'll let you survive
The'll let you get by
But knowing them, they'll let you rot
You better be doubtful
You better beware
You better not shout now
You better not care
Tinker, you better buy another boot
Those 'Pocock Continental' are finally showing through
We'll get you a pair
From a second-hand fair
They'll only have 'a two'
Sailor, you better sink a few more ships
Admiral loony Nelson cannot find his game of risk
We'll lose a few lives
A couple of tribes
But knowing him he'll like his lips
You better be doubtful
You better beware
You better not shout now
You better not care
From Queen Wilkinds to Queen Victoria
We've had a promising side
From King Callaghan to Bonny Prince Francis
We've paid up and we've cried
Princess Gower and Princess Ferguson
We've looked a hard nut to crack
But we're weak at the.........Back!
5.I Can't Put My Finger on It
As Martin said to Xanthe
As they played with wooden toys
'You may have Wendy's playhouse
But where the heel's your boys？'
As Paul said to Fifi
As they eyed each other up
'You may have better plimsoles
But you can't pee standing up'
And I'd like to take the time to bite
Their neck and make it bleed
Or maybe I could cut holes in their
Daddy's Harris Tweed
And I can't put my finger on it
Maybe it's something in their food
And I cna't put my finger on it
All I know is Christ would've sued
As Sharon said to Jamie
As they sat down for a chat
'If you think I'm cooking dinner
Well, prepare to eat dead rat'
As Debbie said to Alex
As they held hands in the park
'How come you wear Rupert Check
When you think you're so hard'
I should've done his Land Rover
To let him know I'd been
Instead I wrote 'F' off'
On the dirt across his screen
And I can't put my finger on it
Maybe it's something in their food
And I cna't put my finger on it
All I know is Christ would've sued
I wish I'd let them know that I was here
A drop of arsenic in the wine
Sulphuric acid in the beer
6.The People Who Grinned Themselves to Death
They smiled so much and waved their flags
As she saluted to the military band
Most of the people failed to see
She had a broken bottle in the other hand
And she took them by surprise
When she took them by the throat
And said 'My friend you're not allowed to vote'
But they shook it all off
With a nervous laugh and cough
'Next time,' she said 'I'll let those people choke'
The people who grinned themselves to death
Smiled so much they failed to take a breath
And even when their kids were starving
They all thought the queen was charming
She polished all upon the wall
And ran her hands right through her hair
So if the lady took the time to call
All the houses on the street would not compare
And she thought it really funny
That she hadn't any money
But those she looked up to, they had
But they shook it all off
With a nervous laugh and cough
And when they took her riches it was sad
The people who grinned themselves to death
Smiled so much they failed to take a breath
And even when their kids were starving
They all thought the queen was charming
7.Bow Down
Mother, Father, I think that I would rather
Stay at home with you for another year
That building's so tall and it makes me feel so small
That I might get lost and simply disappear
Evil smiles won't change my mind
I'm worried and I'm not the worrying kind
Why's that man rubbing his hands
Looking at me writing down his plans？
Today I have been moulding plasticine
and I made a little man who looked just like me
His limbs were so weak and he couldn't move hiw mouth to speak
And I could bend him into any shape I wanted him to be
Evil smiles won't change my mind
I'm worried and I'm not the worrying kind
Why's that man rubbing his hands
Looking at me writing down his plans？
those kids with the blazers on
They went in with names on their elbows
Came home with medals on
Spit it out that's the way the story goes
A flying start for the briefcase crew
Oh, you didn't have to teach me like you did
But you did
And you didn't have to beat me like you did
But you did
But you did
You did
You did
8.We're Not Going Back
Do you remember the good old days？
An empty stomach and a tear-stained face
Do you remember how it used to be？
The walking dead in the factory
I won't talk because
It's not as it was
You don't want the sack
Then don't doff your cap
{We are not going back} Don't back pedal down a broken track
{We are not going back} 'I'm alright Jack' is an easy trap
{We are not going back} No more need for wearing all black
{We are not going back} 'I'm alright Jack' is an easy trap
Do you remember the dail pain
Of walking arouhnd with a ball and chain？
Do you recall when it was hard buyt fair？
You got your share on a line of a prayer.
Please put in my box
Some money for socks
Don't turn back the clocks
It's not as it was
{We are not going back} Don't back pedal down a broken track
{We are not going back} 'I'm alright Jack' is an easy trap
{We are not going back} No more need for wearing all black
{We are not going back} 'I'm alright Jack' is an easy trap
9.Build
Clambering men in big bad boots
Dug up my den, dug up my roots
Treated us like plasticine town
They built us up and knocked us down
From Meccano to Legoland
Here they come with a brick in their hand
Men with heads filled up with sand
It's build
It's build a house where we can stay
Add a new bit everyday
It's build a road for us to cross
Build us lots and lots and lots and lots and lots
Whistling men in yellow vans
They can and drew us diagrams
Showed us how it all worked it out
And wrote it down in case of doubt
Slow, slow, quick, quick, quick
It's wall to wall and brick to brick
They work so fast it makes you sick
It's build
It's build a house where we can stay
Add a new bit everyday
It's build a road for us to cross
Build us lots and lots and lots and lots and lots
It's build
Down with sticks and up with bricks
In with boots and up with roots
It's in with suits and new recruits
It's build
10.The Light Is Always Green
We dig our models with the brains the size of models
And cars that we can trust with out wives
And we dig converstations with girls from every nation
But not the ones that whisper or tell lies
Wherever there's a will there's a motorway
Wherever there is greed there is speed
And they've always got to be there for yesterday
Welcome to the new Scalextric's breed
And the light they always show to them
Is green, green, green
And the heels they always show to me
Are clean, clean, clean
We're only flying past so we dig our sevice fast
From the waiters to the women to the wine
Never mind the match, I've an urgent date to catch
Get me to the concert hall on time
Pretending to be pilots in a war
Pretending to weave between the flak
No-one knows what the mission's for
Blinkered horses on the track
And the light they always show to them
Is green, green, green
And the heels they always show to me
Are clean, clean, clean
11.Johannesburg
Please don't show your soul to me
I think I'd see the light shine through
And please don't greet me on the street
I'd like to see a world without you
Please don't change your uniform
And start to mourn the thousands dead
And please wear what you've always worn
And don't be drawn by what I've said
'Cause I've found there's nothing more
That I could say to you
Nothing I could do to change your mind
Change your ways and your tune
So please don't feel you have to sway
Or move away from how you feel
And please say what you mean to say
And always stay with a heart of steel
