1.A Family Affair
Lyricist：Daniel Treacy
Mrs. Brown is sad
Her husband, Jack, has just passed away
Mrs. Davies cries
The welfare have taken her children today
Jenny's so upset
She's just received the results of her test
It proved positive
And the father has loved her and left her
But why should I care？
It's just a family affair
I telephoned God today
But all I got was
The answering machine
Please help me
2.The Glittering Prizes
Lyricist：Treacy Daniel
In the past I always tried
But I never got amongst the glittering prizes
I put it down to confidence
Or something trendy like an emotional complex
But pretty soon I'm going to change
You won't recognize me
Glittering prizes for me
I wear a clean shirt every day
And I quite enjoy my job as an office boy
But the novelty begins to fade
'Cause I never get the chance
To play with the executive toys
But pretty soon I'm going to change
You won't recognize me
Glittering prizes for me
3.Look Back In Anger
I said some things I shouldn't have said
Should have kept them to myself instead
I was wrong, I admit I was wrong
I'm very sorry when I look back at you
I was wrong, I made you cry
But isn't that what you want to hear？
I look back in anger, I look back at you
I look back in anger at you
I did some things you thought weren't good
Not quite the way you thought I should
I listened to your advice
Did what you said, never thought twice
I'm very sorry when I look back at you
I was wrong, I made you cry
Isn't that what you want to hear？
I look back in anger, I look back at you
I look back in anger at you
All the things you do
4.This Angry Silence
I hear my father shouting at my mother
In the room next door
He's always threatening to pack his bags
'Cause he can't take it anymore
And my brother's anorexic
But no one seems to care about the state he's in
And my sister's in a club, she's a barmaid in a pub
And my mother's full of gin
Can you hear this angry silence？
I spend the days on my own
Writing silly poetry
Writing poems for the girl I love
But she doesn't love me
And I'm scared to go out at night
It's not safe on the streets
And it's hard to disagree in today's society
You can't trust anyone you meet
Can you hear this angry silence？
Listen, listen, listen... this angry silence
5.World Of Pauline Lewis
Every afternoon in the staff canteen
Just another teenage girl with teenage girl dreams
In the world of Pauline Lewis
Everything is fantasy
It's easy to see
Spends the night alone in her cold bedroom
Seven nights a week, seven nights of gloom
In the world of Pauline Lewis
Everything is fantasy
It's easy to see
In the world, in the world of Pauline Lewis
Pauline died alone, they found her slumped on her bed
Took her life because she could no longer pretend
In the mirror Pauline saw a catalogue girl
Wearing make-up by Mary Quant, shoes by Ravel
In the world, in the world of Pauline Lewis
6.Silly Girl
silly girl, wasn't you a silly girl？
silly girl, what have you done now？
you ran away on a train to crewe
such a silly thing to do
your parents are worried about you
time you changed your attitude
silly girl, wasn't you a silly girl？
silly girl, what have you done now？
i'm sitting alone in a quiet room
trying to write a letter to you
it's only me who understands
girl i'll always hold yor hand
silly girl, wasn't you a silly girl？
silly girl, what have you done now？
7.Geoffrey Ingram
geoffrey's got a nice new suit, he bought it yesterday
ten pounds in an oxfam shop near hammersmith broadway
all the kids admire him, geoffrey is the face
geoffrey is that kind of guy
who always gets away with that sort of thing
geoffrey shops at safeways, it's got everything he wants
he fills up his pockets with baked beans and blancmange
and all the girls at the tills smile at geoffrey
he's that kind of guy
who gets away with that sort of thing
just like geoffrey ingram
geoffrey always gets home as it starts to rain
me an geoff went to a jam gig, we got there too late
the marquee was sold out and it was only five past eight
but geoffrey got us on the guest list please don't ask me how
geoffrey is that kind of guy
who always gets away with that sort of thing
geoffrey gets away with that sort of thing
just like geoffrey ingram
8.Jackanory Stories
jackanory jackanory jackanory
jackanory stories, settle down and we'll begin
now we're up to page nineteen and it looks like the indians will
win
but just like life there's a good beginning but there is no
middle
so you may as well skip to the end
it's the same old story
and i've heard that story a thousand times before
read a book at bedtime to help you off to sleep
i've found i get the same effect from fixing on reality
it's just like life there's a good beginning but there is no
middle
so you may as well skip to the end
it's the same old story
and i've heard that story a thousand times before
jackanory stories
sit amongst the bowler hats and make your crossword last
travel intercity, get nowhere twice as fast
just like life there's a good beginning but there is no middle
so you may as well skip to the end
it's the same old story
and i've heard that story a thousand times before

10.La Grande Illusion
i know a girl who's very sad, she lives on her own
looking from an open window, looking up to the sky
the girl's got tears in her eyes, she's looking very sad
when that girl looks sad i feel also bad
i just don't know what to do
the girl's got tears in her eyes
she always falls for his tricks, thinks that she's in love
but she's not in love at all, she doesn't realise
so the girl's got tears in her eyes and she's always looking sad
and why she looks so sad i'm trying to understand
i just don't know what to do
the girl's got tears in her eyes
la grande illusion
i just don't know what to do
the girl's got tears in her eyes
monday she was so upset
tuesday she was blue
wednesday, i telephoned her
thursday, didn't know what to do
(friday) so i telephoned again
(saturday) (sunday) but her mother said she was gone
i just don't know what to do
the girl's got tears in her eyes
la grande illusion
11.A Picture Of Dorian Gray
when i'll buy my mansion i'll invite the world to stay
so everyone can see a picture of dorian gray
we'll sit by the river drinking lemon tea
and there's a thousand midget russians in midget submarines
you can come and stay
you can bring your friends
you can come and stay for a day
and see a picture of dorian gray
take you to my mansion, can see my gallery
lots of pretty pictures, all of them of me
we'll sit by the river drinking lemon tea
eat tiny cucumber sandwiches made by emily
you can come and stay
you can bring your friends
you can come and stay for a day
and see a picture of dorian gray
