1.The Painted Word (Bonus Track)
Interesting place this, I like it here
I think I'll stay and see what happens
If I wanted to I'd write a book
But it would take some time
I'd spend my life writing poetry
Thinking ouf words that have to rhyme
Observe.... the painted word
But if a picture paints a thousand words
Then I will paint a book for you
And you can read between the lines
The truth, whole truth, nothing but the truth
Observe.... the painted word
You held my hands
You kissed my lips
You told me you were leaving me
Now all the pain and hurt I feel
Hangs on the wall for all to see
Observe.... the painted word
If you can't find the words to write
If you can't think of the words to rhyme
Take a brush and take some paint
Show me what you feel inside
Observe.... the painted word
You held my hands
You kissed my lips
You told me you were leaving me
Now all the pain and hurt I feel
Hangs on the wall for all to see
Observe.... the painted word
If I wanted to I'd write a book
But it would take some time
I'd spend my life writing poetry
Thinking of words that have to rhyme
I just haven't got the time
2.You'll Have To Scream Louder
Yes I know you're unhappy
Yes I know you've been crying
Can't you see by my eyes
That I've been crying too
But you'll have to scream louder
Because no one is listening
You can scream, you can shout
Don't expect to be heard
You'll have to scream louder
You'll have to scream louder
Children are playing
While we're building weapons
But our toys are better
'Cause our toys are real
And it makes me feel angry
I feel so ashamed
You'll have to scream louder
I've got no respect for
People in power
They make their decisions
From their ivory towers
And I feel a hatred
It's growing inside
And there's nowhere to run to
'Cause there's nowhere to hide
You'll have to scream louder
Can't you see that I'm crying？
Do you think I'm pretending？
Can't you see by my eyes
These tears are real
And it make's me feel angry
I feel so helpless
And I feel so ashamed
I don't know what to do for the best
I'll have to scream louder
Yes I'll have to scream louder
If your conscience don't catch you
Then something else will
Count to one hundred
Hope you don't get killed
The war may be over
But the next one's for real
You'll have to scream louder
You'll have to scream louder
And I feel so angry
I feel so ashamed
I've got no respect for
People in power
They make their decisions
From their ivory towers
And I feel so frightened
And I feel so violent
3.Happy All The Time
'Pa pa pa' said the clown as he fell down
And the audience laughed and cheered
But they never saw the tears
'Mummy mummy please look at me' said Rupert with glee
As Rupert climbed a very high tree
He's as happy as he could be
And I'm just looking for rainbows
In a star filled sky
And I'm just looking for answers and the reasons why
I remember somebody told me
That God loves me and you
But I don't know if they were honestly telling the truth
And I wish that I was happy all of the time in my mind
If I was happy all of the time in my mind
Happy all of the time
And I wish that I was happy all of the time in my mind
If I was happy all of the time in my mind
Happy all of the time
But I'm just looking for rainbows
In a star filled sky
And I'm just waiting for the sun to shine
I remember somebody told me
That God is yours and mine
But nobody ever told me that pigs could fly
And I wish that I was happy all of the time in my mind
If I was happy all of the time in my mind
Happy all of the time
And I wish that I was happy all of the time in my mind
If I was happy all of the time in my mind
Happy all of the time
This little piggy wants everything But this little piggy wants
none This little piggy is a fat little piggy
See the little piggies run
4.The Girl Who Had Everything
She's had lovers
She's had diamond rings
She's been driven in French sportscars
She's been everywhere there is to be seen
And they call her
The girl who had everything
Her daddy bought her a pony
And daddy was so proud
When she won the school gymkhana
She jumped two clear rounds
And they call her
The girl who had everything
She's got her own black mini
A white fur coat from Black Glamour
What becomes a legend most
She's the perfect host
And they call her
The girl who had everything
She's been to wonderful parties
Starred in underground films
She started taking drugs but just for fun
And they call her
The girl who had everything
She only has to sign her name for anything she sees
In all the top shops
And they call her
The girl who had everything
You often see her backstage
Drinking champagne, tea at Ritz
And a birthday party at Ritz
And they call her
The girl who had everything
She had everything she wanted
Everything but not enough
She never had love
And she threw it away
In a drug filled haze
One sad day
And they called her
The girl who had everything
5.Stop And Smell The Roses
Sometimes just to see you smile
Would make it all worthwhile
Sometimes just to be with you
Would be all I need
Then I'd have everything
I could ever need
Just to be with you is all I ever need
Just to see you smile
Would make it all worthwhile
Sometimes I
I would give anything
To take back all the things I said
That made you cry
Sometimes I pretend that I've got everything
Everything in my garden
Everything's so lovely
Think I'll just stop and smell the roses
Stop and smell the roses
Then I think of you
And I don't know where you are
You seem so far away
You're just so far away
And I don't expect to see you again
Sometimes I pretend that everything in my garden's roses
Everything's so beautiful
6.Say You Won't Cry
It's so sad to wave you goodbye
So say you won't cry when I'm gone
And I promise you I won't be long
Don't be scared to look outside the crowd
To shout your name out loud
And you'll find you didn't really leave much behind
Girl, ever since I've known you
I've known that you were somebody good
Now it's goodbye
Say you won't cry when I'm gone
Goodbye
Groovy goodbye
Say you won't cry when I'm gone
And I promise you I won't be long
Well girl, ever since I've known you
I've known that you were somebody good
Now it's goodbye
Groovy don't cry when I'm gone
Goodbye
Groovy goodbye
Say you won't cry
7.Back To Vietnam
He wakes up screaming
He wakes up screaming
He wakes up
He wakes up in a cold sweat
He dreams he's going to get a letter in the post
Telling him he's been called up again
They're calling up the national guard
They'll send him back
Send him back
Back to Vietnam
Back to Vietnam
He's running in the jungle
He's running with a bayonet
With a machine gun
And he's wild on LSD
The enemy
He can't see them
But he knows they're there
He's aware
And all around
He hears gunfire
He's caught on fire
He's so frightened
He wakes up screaming
He wakes up screaming
He dreads the day
A letter in the post
Telling him they're calling back the national guard
They'll send him back
Send him back
Send him back
Back to Vietnam
They're bringing back conscription
They're going to give everyone over seventeen a gun
And the housewhife in the kitchen
All she can think of
Is what to give her husband for tea
But he won't be back
Do we have to go through it all again？
It's all the same： Vietnam, Korea
First World War, Argentina, Falkland Islands
Another war, what is it for？
Now he's in a home
For Vietnam refugees
He's frightened
He's in an institution
He's in a wheelchair
War is the last creative act
I thought we might of learned some lesson
Richard Nixon on Channel Eleven
I heard it first
Happy birthday, happy Christmas
Guns go bang bang

9.A Life Of Her Own
She sits alone in the kitchen
With her memories and photographs
Of all the better times she's had
When she was young the days seemed short
So much to do so little time
But now the days just seem to pass her by
So she cries she takes a pill
Then another, calls her mother
'Mother can you baby sit tonight？'
The children scream her husband doesn't care
So many times she's wished he wasn't there
In the morning does the washing up
The fish and chips the children left
She scrapes away into the bin
Four o'clock they're home from school
They scream and shout her life they rule
She dreams of holidays and better things
So she cries she takes a pill
Then another, calls her mother
'Mother can you baby sit tonight？'
She wishes she was alone
She could have a life of her own
So she sits alone in the park
She wishes she could run away
But deep inside she knows she never will
She dreams of living in the country
With a garden full of daffodils
For now a box on the window sill
So she cries she takes a pill
And then another, calls her mother
'Mother can you baby sit tonight？'
She wishes she was alone
She could have a life of her own
She could have a life of her own
A life of her own
10.Bright Sunny Smiles
There's me and there's Edward, there's Joe and there's Mark
We play in the garden and we stay out till dark
And we've all got bright sunny smiles
And we've all got bright sunny smiles
There's Brenda and Tracey and Lucy and Joy
They wear mother's make-up and talk about boys
And they've all got bright sunny smiles
And they've all got bright sunny smiles
But now we are grown up and life's not much fun
'Cause when we were children we sat in the sun
And we all had bright sunny smiles
And we all had bright sunny smiles
Sometimes we are happy, sometimes we are sad
When we think of the fun and the laugh that we had
Now it's so hard to find a bright sunny smile
It's so hard to find a bright sunny smile
But now we are grown up and life's not much fun
But now we are grown up there's nowhere to run
No bright sunny smiles
No bright sunny smiles
No bright sunny smiles
No bright sunny smiles
11.Mentioned In Dispatches
He got no ribbons, no decorations
They sent no medals to his sad parents
Just sent a letter telling them their son had died
Killed by a bullet
Now every night his mother cries
He was only eighteen when he joined the army
It wasn't patriotic pride
It was the only job that he could find
Four months later he's in the Falkland Islands
A boy with a gun and a hand grenade
He's cold, homesick and frightened
The army sent condolences
The army sent a wreath
They said they all felt proud of him
They sent his ashes back in a tin
He got no ribbons, no decorations
They sent no medals
No mention in dispatches
He's soon forgotten like so many others
He won no medals no mention in dispatches
The government sent a letter saying they were proud
The government sent a letter thanking his sad parents
He got no ribbons no decorations
They sent no medals to his sad parents
12.Someone To Share My Life With
I don't want a girl who hangs on every word I say
Who shows me off to her parents over roast beef on Sunday
I don't want a girl who thinks she has to fake
I don't want a girl who laughs on every little joke I make
'Cause I just want someone to share my life with
I just want someone to share my life with
I don't want a girl who thinks there's only me to please
I don't want a girl who thinks it's fun to tease
I don't want a girl who thinks she has to cater for my every
need
I don't want a girl to go down on her knees
I just want someone to share my life with
I just want someone to share my life with
And that someone could be you
You could be that someone
You could be that someone
13.Paradise Estate
Mrs. Brown wakes up every morning
She takes the milk from her doorstep
Puts on a pair of faded carpet slippers
And walks a painful mile to the launderette
Her husband Jack is slowly dying
Asbestos poisoning had riddled his insides
He got his pension six years early
When they took away his job they took away his pride
Mrs. Wilson sets her clock for seven
To see the children off to school
She can't afford to give them breakfast
Well not as a rule
Her husband Jack has run away
Gone with the barmaid from the Roses' Crown
Picks up her prescription every Friday
She's heading for her second nervous breakdown
Jennifer Lee is only seventeen
She had a baby when she was still at school
Her parents have disowned her
And the social service barely calls
The father was a boy she met at a party
Her sister Debbie's twenty-first
She can't remember his face or his name very well
Anyway he probably doesn't remember her
And every day's the same
On paradise estate
Because paradise came one day too late
We all live in little boxes
Boxes made of bricks
Boxes for unmarried mothers
Elderly and sick
Graffiti on the walls
Tells it all
'Gary loves July'
National Front slogans
'Jesus is coming'
'Kilroy was here'
But paradise came one day too late
On paradise estate
