1.A Little Soul
Hey man, how come you treat your woman so bad？ That's not the
way to do it.
No you shouldn't do it like that. I could show you how to do it
right.
I used t practice every night on my wife, now she's gone. Yeah,
she's gone.
You see your mother and me, we never got along that well you
see. I'd love
to help you, but everybody's telling me you look like me but
please don't
turn out like me. You look like me but you're not like me I
know. I had one,
two, three, four shots of happiness. I look like a big man but I
only got a
little soul. I only got a little soul. Yeah, I wish I could be
an example.
Wish I could say I stood up for you and fought for what was
right. But I
never did. I just wore my trenchcoat and stayed out every single
night. You
think I'm joking？
Well, try me. Yeah, try me. Yeah, come on try me tonight. I did
what was
wrong though I knew what was right. I've got no wisdom that I
want to pass
on. Just don't hang 'round here, no, I'm telling you son. You
don't want to
know me. Oh that's just what everybody's telling me. ＆
everybody's telling
me you look like me but please don't turn out like me. You look
like me but
you're not like me I hope. I have run away from the one thing
that I ever
made. Now I only wish I could show you - wish I could show a
little soul.
Wish I could show a little soul.
2.Dishes
I am not Jesus though I have the same initials. I am the man who
stays home
and does the dishes. And how was your day？ Is that woman still
trying to do
your head in. A man told me to beware of 33. He said, 'it was
not an easy
time for me'. But I'll get through, even though I've got no
miracles to show
you.
I'd like to make this water wine, though it's impossible. I've
got to get
these dishes dry. I'll read the story if it helps you sleep at
night. I've
got some matches if you ever need a light. Oh I am just a man,
but I'm doing
what I can to help you. I'd like to make this water wine, though
it's
impossible. I've got to get these dishes dry. ＆ I'm not worried,
that I will
never touch the stars 'cos the stars belong up in heaven and the
earth is
where we are. Oh yeah. ＆ aren't you happy just to be alive？
Anythings
possible. You've got no Cross to bear tonight. No not tonight. I
am not
Jesus though I have the same initials.
3.Glory Days
Come ＆ play the tunes of glory- raise your voice in celebration
of teh days
that we have wasted in the caf？in the station. ＆ learn the
meaning of
existance in the fourthnightly instalments. Come and share this
golden age
with me in my single room appartment ＆ and if it all amounts to
nothing, it
doesn't matter, these are still our glory days.
Oh my face is unappealing ＆ my thoughts are unoriginal. I did
experiments
with substances, but all it did was make me ill ＆ I. I used to
do the I
Ching, but then I had to feed the meter. Now I can't see into
the future,
but at least I can use the heater. Oh, it doesn't get much
better than this,
'cos this is how we live our glory days. Oh, and I can be a
genious, if I
just put my mind to it ＆ I, I could do anything if only I could
get 'round
to it. Oh we were brought up in the Space-Race, now they expect
you to clean
toilets.When you have seen how big the world is, how can you
make do with
this.？ If you want me I'll be sleeping in- sleeping in
throughout these glory
days. These glory days can take their toll, so catch me now
before I turn
to gold. Yeah, we'd love to hear you story just as long as it
tells us where
we are- that we are where we're meant to be. Oh come on, make it
up
yourself- you don't need anybody else. ＆ I promise I won't sell
these
4.Help The Aged
Help the aged, one time they were just like you, drinking,
smoking cigs and
sniffing glue. Help the aged, don't just put them in a home,
can't have much
fun in there all on their own. Give a hand, if you can, try and
help them to
unwind. Give them home ＆ give them comfort 'cos they're running
out of time.
In the meantime we try, try to forget that sothing lasts
forever. No big
deal so give us all a feel. Funny how it all falls away. When
did you first
realise？ It's time you took an older lover baby. Teach you stuff
although
he's looking rough. Funny how it all falls away. Help the aged
'cos one day
you'll be older too - you might need someone who can pull you
through ＆ if
you look very hard behind the lines upon their face you may see
where you
are headed and it's such a lonly place. In the meantime we try,
try to
forget that sothing lasts forever. No big deal so give us all a
feel. Funny
how it all falls away. When did you first realise？ It's time you
took an older lover baby. Teach you stuff although he's looking
rough. Funny how it all falls away. you can dye your hair, but
there's one thing you can't change ,can't run away from
yourself, yourself, your self,self,self...in the meantime we try
,try to forget that nothing lasts forever, no big deal ,so give
us all a feel,funny how it all falls away. When did you first
realise？ It's time you took an older lover baby. Teach you stuff
although he's looking rough. Funny how it all falls away. Funny
how it all falls away. Funny how it all falls away. Funny how it
all falls away. Funny how it all falls away.
5.I'm A Man
Laid here with the advertising sliding past my eyes, like
cartoons from
other peoples lives. I start to wonder what it takes to be a
man.
Well I learned to drink and I learned to smoke and I learned to
tell a dirty
joke. If that's all there is then there's no point for me.
So please can I ask just why we're alive？ 'Cos all that you do
seems such a
waste of time ＆ and if you hang around too long you'll be a man.
Tell me
'bout it. Your car can get up to a hundred and ten, you've got
nowhere to go
but you go there again- and nothing ever makes no difference to
a man.
So you stuble in to town and hold your stumach in. Show them
what you got
tho' they've seen anything. Yeah, you're a beauty but they've
seen your type
before. You've got no need but still you want, so go and book
that
restaurant. The winde will flow ＆ and then you just fly away.
So please can I ask just why we're alive？ 'Cos all that you do
seems such a
waste of time ＆ and if you hang around too long you'll be a man.
Tell me
'bout it. Your car can get up to a hundred and ten, you've got
nowhere to go
but you go there again- and nothing ever makes no difference to
a man.
That's what I am.
6.Party Hard
I used to try very hard to make friends with everyone on the
planet. I've
seen you havin' it havin' it yeah but now you've just had it.
Entertainment
can sometimes be hard when the thing that you love is the same
thing that's
holding you down. This man is dangerous, he just shed his load
on your best
party frock. Before you enter the palace of wisdom, you have to
decide：are
you ready to rock？ Oh can you party with me？ Can you show me a
good time？ Do
you even know what one looks like？ ＆ I don't need to hear your
stories again
- just get on the floor ＆ show me what you're made of. Just what
exactly are
you made of？
Baby, you're driving me crazy. Baby, you're driving me crazy. I
was having a
whale of a time until you uncle Psychosis arrive. Why do we have
to half
kill ourselves just to prove we're alive？ I'm here whenever you
need me ＆
whenever you need me I won't be here. ＆ have you ever stopped to
ask yourself？
If you didn't come to party, then why did you come here？ Why did
you come here？
Baby, you're driving me crazy. Baby, you're driving me crazy. ＆
do you
really want to know just why you turned out so dumb？ When the
party is over
will you come home with me？ Now the party's over will you come
home to me？
Will you come home to me？
7.Seducive Barry
Here in the night love takes control. Making me high, making me
low. I don't
know. Oh no no no. No I don't know. No no no. No I don't know.
When I close
my eyes I can see you lowering yourself to my level. I don't
know where you
got those clothes, you can take them off if it makes you feel
better.
Don't stop it now. Now is so right. Now as the day slips away ＆
we slide
into night. I don't know. Oh no no no. No I don't know. No no
no. No I don't
know. I open my eyes ＆ you're there, even better in the flesh it
would seem.
I'm so ready and willing ＆ able it's untrue, to act out my love
scene ＆ make
my dreams come true. ＆ how many others have touched themselves
whilst
looking at pictures of you？ How many others could handle it if
all of their
dreams came true？ I don't expect you to answer straight away,
maybe you're
just having an off day but I need to believe in you. Yes I do.
Yes I do.
Oh I want you here in my heart. Here in my head. Live all your
dreams for
tonight here in your bed. I don't know. Oh no no no. No I don't
know. No no
no. No I don't know. So roll the soundtrack and dim the lights
'cos I'm not
going home tonight. This love scene has begun. There's nothing
left to do
but for us get it on. Lets make it the greatest love scene from
a play
no-one's thought up yet. I know you're feeling the same as me,
but what are
you gonna do about it？ No here's an exclusive： I've wanted you
for years, I
only needed the balls to admit it. When the unbelievable object
meets the
unstoppable force there's nothing you can do about it. No. I
will light your
sigarette with a star that has fallen from the sky. Breathe in,
breath out,
I love the way you move. Don't let anyone tell you anything
different
tonight. You're beauty, you're class, you showed it all but you
still kept a
little piece back just for me. A little piece back just for me.
Oh I don't
know the way you do it, but I love the way you do it, when
you're doing it
to me. ＆ if this is a dream then I'm going to sleep for the rest
of my life.
For the rest of my life. For the rest of my life. For the rest
of my life.
8.Syliva
You look just like Sylvia：Well you look like her to me- the way
she wore
her hair then. Oh, the way she used to be. I've not seen her for
a long
time, though I've heard she's still around. Her father's living
with some
girl, who's a year younger than her. She's living in the country
now, yeah.
Ohm she's trying to get better. Her beauty was her only crime.
Oh I
rememeber Syliva.
So keep believing ＆ do what you do. Oh I can't help you but I
know things
are gonna get better. ＆ please stop asking what it's got to do
with you.
Oh, keep believing 'cos you know that you deserve better.
Who's this man you're talking to？ Can't you see what he wants to
do. He
think if he stands near enough, he'll look as good as you. Oh,
he don't care
about your problems, he just want's to show his friends. I guess
I'm just
the same as him- I just didn't know it then.
I never understood you really. And I know it's too late now. You
didn't ask
to be that way. oh, I'm sorry Sylvia.
So keep believing ＆ do what you do. Oh I can't help you but I
know things
are gonna get better. ＆ please stop asking what it's got to do
with you.
Oh, keep believing 'cos you know that you deserve better. Oh,
Sylvia.
9.The Day After The Revolution
The dust has settled, replaced the bulbs in all the lights.I
guess I'll
get no sleep tonight.A revolution happened.Oh, sorry you haven't
heard.We are the children of the new world.If you're quiet you
can watch
if you like.They say the future's beginning tonight.Whole
empires will
crumble.Civilisations will fall.Lie on the bed, hear the sound
of it
all.No anger, no guilt ＆ no sorrow： it sounds unlikely, I know,
but
tomorrow you will wake up to find that your whole life has
changed.Although nothing looks different a revolution took
place, I love
the way you do it, I love the way you put them on.You know the
answers
but you get it wrong.(Just to confuse things).Why did it seem so
difficult to realise a simple truth？ The revolution begins ＆
ends with
you.Now all the breakdowns and nightmares look small.Now we
decided not
to die after all.Because the meek shall inherit absolutely
nothing at
all.If you stopped being so feeble you could have so much
more.The
answer was here all the time, you see.Just how I missed it is a
mystery
to me.I have waited ＆ waited for this day to arrive.The
revolution was
televised.Now it's over, bye, bye.It's over, bye, bye.Yeah, we
made
it.Just by the skin of our teeth.Perfection is over (The Rave is
over)
Sheffield is over.The Fear is over.Guilt is over (Please leave
the
building quietly) Bergerac is over.The hangover is over.Men are
over.Women are over. Cholesterol is over.Tapers are over.Irony
is
over.Bye Bye Bye Bye.
10.The Fear
This is our 'Music from a Bachelors Den' -the sound of
loneliness turned up to
ten. A horror soundtrack from a stagnant water-bed ＆ it sounds
just like this.
This is the sound of someone losing the plot - making out that
they're okey
when they're not. You're gonna like it, but not a lot ＆ and the
chorus goes
like this：Oh baby, here comes the fear again. The end is near
again. A
monkey's built a house on your back. You can't get anyone to
come in the
sack ＆ here comes another panic attack. Og here we go again. So
now you know
the words to our song, pretty sonn you'll all be singing along.
When you're
sad, when you're lonely ＆ and it all turns out wrong. When
you've got the
fear. ＆ when you're no longer searching for beauty or love -
just some kind
of life with the edges taken off. When you can't even define
what it is that
you are frightened of this song will be here. Oh baby, here
comes the fear
again. The end is near again.
If you ever get that chimp off your back. If you ever find the
thing that
you lack, but you know you're only having a laugh ＆ here we go
again. Until
the end.
11.This Is Hardcore
You are hardcore, you make me hard. You name the drama ＆ I'll
play the part.
It seems I saw you in some teenage wet dream. I like your get up
if you know
what I mean. I want it bad. I want it now. Oh can't you see I'm
ready now.
I've seen all the pictures I've studied them forever. I wanna
make a movie
so let's star in it together. Don't make a move 'til I say,
'Action!'. Oh
here comes the Hardcore life! Put your money where your mouth is
tonight.
Leave your make-up on, and I'll leave on the light. Come oevre
here babe and
talk in the mic. Oh yeah I hear you now, it's gonna be one hell
of a night.
You can't be a spectator. Oh no. You've got to take these dreams
＆ make them
whole. Oh this is Hardcore- there is no way back for you. Oh
this is
Hardcore- this is me on top of you ＆ I can't believe that it
took me this
long. That it took me this long.
This is the eye of the storm, this is what men in stained
raincoats pay for,
but in here it is pure. Yeah. This is the end of the line. I've
seen the
storyline played out so many times before. Oh that goes in here.
Then that
goes in there.
Then that goes in there. Then that goes in there. ＆ then it is
all over. Oh
what a hell of a show, but what I want to konw what exactly do
you do for an
encore？ 'Cos this is Hardcore.
12.Tv Movie
Without you my life has become a hangover without end. A movie
made for TV：
bad dialouge, bad acting, no interest. Too long with no story
and no sex.
Is it a kind of weakness, to miss someone so much？ To miss the
day, would go
away？ Like you did yesterday. Just like you did yesterday. ＆ I
can't think
of a way to get thoughht this pain. To be happy again to make it
all alright
＆ I know it must be bad because I'm sitting here right now, all
I know is
that I can't even think, I can't even think of anything clever
to say. So I say：
why pretend any longer？ 'Cos I need you here with me. It's
obvious that I
miss you so much so please say you're gonna stay. So please say
you're
gonna stay. So please say you're gonna stay. The night is
getting darker noe
and there's nothing on TV but I'll sit tight 'til morning light.
Yeah, I'll
wait until the day. Until the day you say you're gonna stay.
