1.Mis-Shapes
Mis-shapes, mistakes, misfits
Raised on a diet of broken biscuits, oh
We don't look the same as you
And we don't do the things you do
But we live around 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 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 - it's a 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
- that's our minds
Check your lucky numbers
That much money could drag you under, oh
What's the point of being rich if you can't think what to do
with it？
'Cause you're so very 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 to
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 a 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
- that's our minds
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 beat
But revenge is going to be so sweet
2.Pencil Skirt
When you raise your pencil skirt like a veil before my eyes
Like the look upon his face as he's zipping up his flies
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
It's turning me on
You can tell me some lies about the good times that you've had
But I've kissed your mother once 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 disappear,
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
I only do it cause I know you know it's bad
Oh yes I know that it's ugly and it shouldn't be like that
But oh it's turning me on.
3.Common People
She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College
That's where I caught her eye
She told me that her Dad was loaded
I said in that case I'll have a rum and coke-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
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 it started
there
I said pretend you've got no money
She just laughed 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 smiled 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 call 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 laughing 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 insides out
'Cos everybody hates a tourist
Especially one who thinks it 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
Wanna live like common people like you
4.I Spy
I spy a boy, I spy a girl
I spy the worst place in the world, in the whole wide 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 walks among you seeing through your 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 and I'm biding my time until I
take you all on.
My Lords and Ladies. I will prevail I cannot fail. Cause I spy
Oh I've got your numbers, taken notes, and all the ways your
minds work
I've studied. And your mind's just the same as mine except that
you're just clever swines
You never let your masks slip, you never admit to it, you're
never hurried. Oh no no no
And every night I hold my plan how I'll get my satisfaction
How I will blow your paradise away away away ooh
Cause I spy
It's just like in the old days
I used to compose my own critical notices in my head
The crowd gasps at Cocker's masterful control of the bicycle
Skilfully avoiding the dog turd next to the corner shop
Imagining a blue plaque above the place I first ever touched 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
Cause I've been sleeping with your wife for the past sixteen
weeks
Smoking your cigarettes, drinking your brandy, messing up the
bed you chose 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 favourite park's a car park, grass is something you smoke,
birds is something you shag
Take your year in Provence and shove it up your arse
Your Ladbroke Grove looks turn me on, yeah
With roach burns in designer dresses and thousands of tiny
dryness lines beating
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 haves against haven'ts and I just happen to
have got what you need
Just exactly what you need, yeah
La la la la la la la la la la, In the midnight hour
La la la la la la la la la la, I will come to you, I will come
to you
I will take you from this 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
Cause I spy, yes,
I spy, ssss. I spy a boy and I spy a girl.
I spy the chance to change the world, to change your world.
5.Disco 2000
Well we were born within one hour of each other
Our mothers said we could be sister and brother
Your name is Deborah. Deborah. It never suited ya
And they said that when we grew up, we'd get married and never
split up
We never did it although often I thought 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
I said let's all meet up in the year 2000
Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown
Be there at 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 yours were the best
The boys all loved you but I was a mess
I had to watch them trying to get you undressed
We were friends but that was as far as it went
I used to walk you home sometimes but it meant
Nothing to you, cause you were so popular
Ah Deborah, do you recall
Your house was very small with woodchip on the wall
When I came around to call you didn't notice me at all
I said let's all meet up in the year 2000
Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown
Be there at 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
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh what are you doing Sunday baby
Would you like to come and meet me maybe you can even bring your
baby
Ohhh ooh ooh. Ooh ooh ooh ooh
What are you doing Sunday baby
Would you like to come and meet me maybe you can even bring your
baby
Ooh ooh oh. Ooh ooh ooh ooh. Ooh ooh ooh ooh. Oh.
6.Live Bed Show
She doesn't have to go to work but she doesn't want to stay in
bed
Cause it's changed from something comfortable 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 didn't get much rest at first, the headboard banging in the
night
The neighbours didn't dare complain and 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 the sad game ooh ah ah
Called pretending nothing's going wrong oh, 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 la la
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 doesn't want to stay in bed
'Cause it's changed from something comfortable to something else
instead
7.Something Changed
I wrote the 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 friends
Life could have been very different then
But something changed
Do you believe that there's someone up above？
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 this song to someone else instead
I dunno but like you said
Something changed.
8.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 'cause we're all sorted out for E's and wizz
And tell me when the spaceship lands 'cause all this has just
got to mean something
In the middle of the nite, it feels alright, but then tommorow
morning
Oh then you come down
Oh yeah the pirate radio station told us what was going down
Got the tickets from some mashed up bloke in Camden Town
Oh and no-one seems to know exactly where it is
But that's okay 'cause we're all sorted out for E's and 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
tommorow 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 six 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 home again
'Cause 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
tommorow morning
Oh then you come down. What if you never come down？
9.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 for 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 stuffed in a slightly different order each day
Just like a modern shopping centre
And 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 sens no. It's not convenient no
It doesn't fit my plans no
It's something I don't understand oh
And as I'm standing across this room
I feel as if my whole life has been leading to this one moment
And as I touch your 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 no
But I got that taste in my mouth again
F.E.E.L.I.N.G. C.A.double L.E.D. L.O.V.E.
10.Underwear
Why don't you shut 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 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
If you 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 and 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
I want to see you.
Want to see you standing in your underwear. Har.
11.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？
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
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 oh oh oh oh so mature oh
Going out late from Monday, chuck up in the street on Sunday
You don't want to live till Monday you're gonna do it all over
again.
And you go aah ah ah
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 - ooh.
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 know you 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
12.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
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
on it's time
Oh look at you, you, you're looking so confused just what did
you lose？
If you can make 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, this place, it'd still look
much better than you
Move, move quick, you've gotta move. Come on it's through, come
on it's time
Oh look at you, you, you're looking so confused, what did you
lose？
It's ok it's 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 on it's time
Oh look at you, you, you're looking so confused, 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 around the corner in Soho where other broken people go
Let's go.
