1.Banana Republic
Lyricist：Pete Briquette, Bob Geldof
Banana Republic, Septic Isle
Screamin' in the sufferin' sea, sounds like cryin'
Everywhere I go, yeah everywhere I see
The black and blue uniforms, Police and Priests
And I wonder do you wonder while you're sleeping with your
whore？
Sharing beds with history is like a-licking runnin' sores
Forty shades of green yeah, sixty shades of red
Heroes going cheap these days, price a bullet in the head
Banana Republic, Septic Isle
Sufferin' in the screamin' sea, sounds like dyin'
Everywhere I go, yeah everywhere I see
The black and blue uniforms, Police and Priests
Take your hand and lead you up a garden path
Let me stand aside here and watch you pass
Strikin' up a soldier's song, I know that tune
It begs too many questions and answers too
Banana Republic, Septic Isle
Sufferin' in the screamin' sea, sounds like dyin'
Everywhere I go, yeah everywhere I see
The black and blue uniforms, Police and Priests
The purple and the pinstripe they mutely shake their heads
A silence shriekin' volumes violence worse than they condemn
Stab you in the back yeah laughin' in your face
Glad to see the place again, it's a pity nothing's changed
Banana Republic, Septic Isle
Sufferin' in the screamin' sea, sounds like dyin'
Everywhere I go, yeah everywhere I see
The black and blue uniforms, Police and Priests
Banana Republic, Septic Isle
Sufferin' in the screamin' sea, sounds like dyin'
Everywhere I go, yeah everywhere I see
The black and blue uniforms, Police and Priests
Banana Republic, Septic Isle
Sufferin' in the screamin' sea, sounds like cryin'
Everywhere I go, yeah everywhere I see
2.When the Night Comes
Lyricist：F. Brown, T. Robinson
The offices are emptying
Their pale-faced wards into the street
Flickering their strip-light eyes
Shivering they readjust their lives
From the air-conditioned heat
The humdrum and mundane
Is nearly driving them insane
You get hooked so quick to anything
Even your chains, you're crouching in your corner
'Til they open up your cage
When the night comes
It'll help you disappear
When the night comes
Forget about the day that brought you here
Frankie takes the train and makes it home
In time to catch the evening news
Opening a can of beans he learns the world
Has turned without much help from him
Hey Frank, why not get drunk tonight？
Hey Frank, hey, I think it'll be alright
You'll be too far gone to notice
When the neighbors start complaining
They're used to it by now, every day's the same
When the night comes
It'll help you disappear
When the night comes
Forget about the day that brought you here
When the night comes
He might get on the phone
And she's a stuck-up bitch
But she lives on her own
And he heard her talking dirty
To the girls the other day
And she knew that he had heard her
And she looked as if to say
And then later up in marketing
While going through the files
She bent a little too far down
Then turned around and smiled
He got her number
He got the phone
He dialed the number
He heard the tone
He said, 'Tonight's the night
That I've been waiting for
Oh, I know you've seen me
Worship you from afarâ
â½And I might tell you that I love you
And I will but just for
Tonight, one night's alright
Tonight, just one night, just one night
Just one nightâ
In his three piece cunning camouflage
Nobody can guess what Frankie's thinking
Last night she said, 'I don't know if I'm drowning
Maybe it's because I'm sinking'
He said, 'It'll be okay, I'll get outta here one day'
And she said, 'Frankie
You're no different from any of the rest
They've nailed you to that table
And chained you to your desk'
When the night comes
It'll help you disappear
When the night comes
Forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it
Forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it
Forget it, forget it, forget it
Forget about the day that brought you here
3.Having My Picture Taken
Lyricist：Pete Briquette, Bob Geldof
Hold up Phillis
Watch the beauty
My camera sees things my eyes can't see
I have it focused from here to eternity
Catch the moment, catch the breath
Catch the light and let me freeze your frame
Synchronize machine and brain
Hey, don't mind me, I'm having my picture taken
(Having it taken)
I can choose each day who I want to be
You can choose each day who you want to see
We pan the rounds and scan the crowds of all those distant
scenes Immortalize a slice of time
Hey don't mind me, I'm having my picture taken
(Having it taken)
(Flash)
Another instant in an instamatic
(Click)
Another reflex set on automatic
(Snap)
Another moment of the life dramatic
You really should have been there
It was so fantastic
(So fantastic, so fantastic)
Oh, having my picture taken
Oh, having my picture taken
Oh, I'm having my picture taken
Oh, having my picture taken
I'm having it taken
(Flash)
Another instant in an instamatic
(Click)
Another reflex set on automatic
(Snap)
Another moment of the life dramatic
You really should have been there
It was so fantastic
(So fantastic, so fantastic)
Oh, I'm having my picture taken
Oh, having my picture taken
(Having my picture taken)
Oh, I'm having my picture taken
(Having my picture taken
Having my picture taken)
Oh, having my picture taken
(Having my picture taken
Having my picture taken)
I'm having that picture taken, yeah
Best I've ever done
4.Under Their Thumb Is Under My Thumb
Lyricist：Mick Jagger, Keith Richard
Under their thumb
Kicked and beaten like an angry rabid dog
Under their thumb
Squashed and squeezed like a dried-up, rinsed out worm
You can't do a thing
Best lie still 'til you wait your turn
Can't do a thing
Your day will come
You're under their thumb
Under their thumb
And now you feel you're not alone
Under their thumb
And now you feel the pressure zone
You can't do a thing
Revenge is sweet but it's sugar free
Can't do a thing
Your day will come
Now you're under their thumb
5.Like Clockwork
Lyricist：Pete Briquette, Simon Crowe, Bob Geldof
Tick tock
Tick tock
Tick tock
I'm not disconnected
I'm not unaware
I'm in one place at one time
I'm neither here nor there
I'm hooked to the mainstream, tuned into the world
Plugged into my surroundings, it's not out on a limb
I'm thinking in a straight line, I'm thinking that these
thoughts are mine
My heart is beating oh so fast, I feel the hours crashing
Now my mind keeps time like clockwork
And I think in sync like clockwork
Tick tock
Tick tock
Tick tock
She's done away with emotion
She sees things clearly now
She says she sees it all from her room
And it looks so small from her room
It's all right
(It's all right)
It's all right
(It's all right)
I'm on your side for a while
She thinks time is a concept by which we measure our age
She wants to say it again, but she don't have time
Because the mind keeps time like clockwork
And she think in sync like clockwork
Tick tock
Tick tock
Tick tock
Count the hours
Count the months and minutes
You're born in tears
And you die in pain and that's your limit
none
There, why don't you admit it
We'll make the most of what we've got, that's the ticket
My, my, my, my
I stayed in that room a long, long time
And watched the seasons gliding past
And hey what's the matter？
We've got time, lots of time
It's all right
(It's all right)
It's all right
(It's all right)
I'm on your side for a while
We'll wind up, we'll slow down
We'll speed up, move around and we'll maybe overwind
Because my mind keeps time like clockwork
And I think in sync like clockwork
When my mind keeps time like clockwork
And we think in sync like clockwork
Tick tock
Tick tock
Tick tock
...
6.Mood Mambo
Lyricist：Pete Briquette, Bob Geldof
Somewhere up town late last night
Around 9 o'clock there was a black snake
Crawling up the Latin American stairs
With his slicked black cockroachair
He was greasy lightning
He was looking for someone else
He said, 'I know you, you know me, hey, hey, lezzosee
I'm in the Mood to Mambo'
Yeah, bongo crazy man
Someone else pulled out a gun and said
'It's a little too late for that sort of thing
If you think that you're the white-black snake
Don't go messing with me, I'm not in the mood'
Somebody else pulled
I said 'Don't be rude, just say bongo crazy man'
Yah, been there, done that
Given every tit-for-tat I'm for me
Meanwhile, later on underneath the river
Some frogman slipped on his black beret
Over his skin, tight rubbersuit, black boots
Looking for a place to go an' dive
Heading for the nearest diver's skive
Looking for love on the cheap rate
Go, gonna make it down with you wan' d'ja see？
He said, 'Crazy bongo
I'm in the mood to mambo'
Meanwhile, we can watch the come
Dancing competitions from the Midlands
International Danceband Orchestra
Lifting up their frilly chiffon skirts
They whirled and they twirled
In the late night rustle
To the beat of the muscle
Of the drum man Inanin
He's picking up the beat on the bongo skin
He was lookin' for love underneath that din
He was looking for me
He was looking for you
Till I walked up to the woman and I said
(With a shoe)
I'm in the mood to mambo
Bongo crazy
Shh, let me into one of the secrets of this place
Y'see the late night flick knives
Glitter through the window, careful where you go boy
Those knives are flick flack
Flagging through the dark, man
They're gonna cut your skin
I talked to Fr.Murphy and he swore he wouldn't tell
But some of those boys are gonna go to hell
See they're in the mood to mambo
Crazy bongo
Cha, cha, cha, the fog horns scream
And the boys go, 'Woo Woo'
I don't mind 'cos I'm with you
We go bongo crazy, yes we do
No we don't, bongo crazy
7.Nothing Happened Today
Lyricist：Kieran Kane
Turn on the TV
Turn on the radio
Turn down that sound
Turn down that sound
Open the curtains
Open the windows
What's happening around
What's happening around
I'll do some washing
I might go shopping
I'm going downtown
I'm going downtown
Until someone told me
'Nothing happened today'
And then someone told me
'Nothing happened today'
I woke up late
I had a headache
I went back to sleep
Go back to sleep
I stood there waiting
Waiting for something
There wasn't a thing
Not even one thing
Until someone told me
'Nothing happened today'
And then someone told me
'Nothing happened today'
Harry Hooper living in No.10
Bought a toupee
And glued it to his head
'It looks very natural'
Everybody said
But then his wife said
'Toupee, isn't that a French word？'
And Harry said, 'Ole'
She said, 'That's a Spanish word'
And he said, 'Okayâ
Can't tell the difference these days'
I watched TV
I wanted to see
The late news at 10
It came on and then
She shuffled her papers
She swiveled in her chair
She looked up and she said
The weather was fair
And then it turned cold
It started to rain
Pouring with rain
Today's Thursday
Tomorrow's Friday
And this is the date
It's March 28th
And some people died
And some people were born
And some stayed the same
And some went insane
It was the morning
Then afternoon
And then the night came
And then the night came
Until someone told me
'Nothing happened today'
Someone told me
'Nothing happened today'
Someone told me
'Nothing happened
Someone told me
'Nothing happened
Someone told me
'Nothing happened today'
Yeah, yeah
It happened today
8.She's So Modern
Lyricist：Johnnie Fingers, Bob Geldof
She's so 20th century
She's so 1970's
She knows the right things to say
She's got the right clothes to wear
'Cos she's a modern girl, oh yeah
A modern girl, yeah, ga-ga-ga-ga-ga
A modern girl now, oh yeah
And Suzie is a jewel
She flashes when she smiles
She's cunning and she's clever
She got the lowdown in her files
Magenta is the best
You know, she really makes me laugh
She's always tryin' her impressions
She wants to be a photograph
I gotta say now, she's so 20th century
She's so 1970's
She knows the right things to say
She's got the right clothes to wear
'Cos she's a modern girl, oh yeah
A modern girl, yeah, ga-ga-ga-ga-ga
A modern girl now, oh yeah
She's so modern
And Jean confided to me
She's Mona Lisa's biggest fan
She drew a mustache on her face
She's always seen her as a man
And Charlie, ain't no Nazi
She likes to wear her leather boots
'Cos it's exciting for the veterans
And it's a tonic for the troops
She's so 20th century
She's so 1970's
She knows the right things to say
She's got the right clothes to wear
'Cos she's a modern girl, oh yeah
A modern girl, yeah, ga-ga-ga-ga-ga
A modern girl now, oh yeah
She's so m-m-m-m-modern
She's so 20th century
She's so 1970's
She knows the right things to say
She's got the right clothes to wear
I tell you, she's so 20th century
She's so 1970's
She knows the right things to say
She's got the right clothes to wear
She's so modern
