A Different Kind Of Tension

The Buzzcocks A Different Kind Of Tension Lyrics
1.Paradise

Where in the world are we
Everything's fake nothing's real
I guess it just depends on how you feel
Why are you wasting my time
With questions when everything's fine
Why are things so nice
Is this the place that they call paradise
Oh it's paradise

Look around you day by day
See the people on their way
On friday nights collecting their pay
So don't tell me what's wrong and what's right
'cos a knife fight on saturday night
Is the only kind of justice not nice
But it's the only kind that's given here in paradise
Oh it's paradise

3.You Say You Don't Love Me

You say you don't love me
Well that's alright with me 'cos i'm in love with you
And i wouldn't want you doing things you don't want to do
Oh you know i've always wanted you to be in love with me
And it took so long to realize the way things have to be
I wanted to live in a dream that couldn't be real
And i'm starting to understand now the way that you feel
You say you don't
You say you don't

You say you don't love me
Well that's alright with me 'cos i have got the time
To wait in case someday you maybe change your mind
I've decided not to make the same mistakes this time around
As i'm tired of having heartaches i've been thinking and i've
found
I don't want to live in a dream i want something real
And i think i understand now the way that you feel
You say you don't
You say you don't
You say you don't


You say you don't
You say you don't

You say you don't love me
Well that's alright with me i'm not in love with you
I just want us to do the things we both want to do
Though i've got this special feelin' i'd be wrong to call it
love
For the word entails a few things that i would be well rid of
I've no need to live in a dream it's finally real
And i hope you now understand this feeling i feel
You say you don't
You say you don't
You say you don't love me
You say you don't love me
You say you don't love me
Mmm


4.You Know You Can't Help It


5.Mad Mad Judy


6.Raison D'etre

You're an awful lot of fun
Forever on the run
You're my number one
But if you're not late
Then i guess you never come

You're always on my side boy
When it comes to playing games of who are we
We never find out why though
That our own raison d'etre we can't see

You're an awful lot of fun
Forever on the run
You're my number one
But if you're not late
Then i guess you never come

I said blue eyes would suit you
Yes they do oh i knew i would be right
But watch your friends don't get you
'cos if they do i won't be seeing you tonight


7.I Don't Know What To Do With My Life

I don't know what to do with my life
Should i give it up and make a new start
I don't know what to do with my life
'cos the one i've got just tears me apart
I can't wake up in the morning
And i can't get to sleep at night
I'm not expecting things to be perfect
But a high success rate would be nice

I don't know what to do with my life
I don't know what to do with my life
I don't know what to do with my life
I don't know what to do with my life

I don't know what's gone wrong with my life
But you know i never do seem to win
Whenever i think i've straightened it out
It becomes a vicious circle again
I can't love when anyone loves me
And i can't find the someone to love
But then i start to count my blessings
And i feel i'm getting more than enough

I don't know what to do with my life
I don't know what to do with my life
I don't know what to do with my life
I don't know what to do with my life


I don't know what to do with my life
I don't know what to do with my life
I don't know what to do with my life
I don't know what to do with my life

I don't know what's gone wrong with my life
But you know i never do seem to win
Whenever i think i've straightened it out
It becomes a vicious circle again
I can't love when anyone loves me
And i can't find the someone to love
But then i start to count my blessings
And i feel i'm getting more than enough of love

I don't know what to do with my life
I don't know what to do with my life
I don't know what to do with my life
It's my life


8.Money

What is inside me
Is caged here beside me
Life is a zoo
I'm labelled him
And it's labelled you
Life is a zoo
Life's a zoo

You are a stranger
But i'm even stranger
What can i do
Life's getting stranger
Strangers are stranger
What can we do
Life's a zoo

I am a stranger
And you're even stranger
What can you do
Life's getting stranger
A stranger's a stranger
What can we do
Life's a zoo

10.A Different Kind Of Tension

Wait here go there
Come in stay out
Be yourself be someone else
Obey the law break the law

Be ambitious be modest
Plan ahead be spontaneous
Decide for yourself listen to others
Save money spend money

Be good be evil
Be wise be foolish
Be safe be dangerous
Be satisfied be envious
Be honest be deceitful
Be faithful be perfidious
Be sane be mad
Be strong be weak
Be enigmatic be plain
Be aggressive be peaceful
Be brave be timid
Be humane be cruel
Be critical be appreciative
Be temperamental calm
Be sad be happy
Be normal be unusual

Stop go
Live die
Yes no
Rebel submit
Right wrong
Sit down stand up
Create destroy
Accept reject
Talk silence
Speed up slow down
This way that way
Right left
Present absent
Open closed
Entrance exit
Believe doubt

Truth lies
Escape meet
Love hate
Thank you flunk
Clarify pollute
Simple complex
Nothing something
Stop go
Live die
Yes no
Rebel submit
Right wrong
Sit down stand up
Create destroy
Accept reject
Talk silence


11.I Believe

In these times of contention it's not my intention to make
things plain
I'm looking through mirrors to catch the reflection that can't
be mine
I'm losing control now i'll just have to slow down a thought or
two
I can't feel the future and i'm not even certain that there is a
past

I believe in the worker's revolution
And i believe in the final solution
I believe in
I believe in
I believe in the shape of things to come
And i believe in i'm not the only one
Yes i believe in
I believe in

When i poison my system i take thoughts and twist them into
shapes
I'm reaching my nadir and i haven't an idea of what to do
I'm painting by numbers but can't find the colours that fill you
in
I'm not even knowing if i'm coming or going if to end or begin

I believe in the immaculate conception
And i believe in the resurrection
And i believe in
I believe in
I believe in the elixir of youth
And i believe in the absolute truth
Yes i believe in
I believe in

There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore

I've fallen from favour while trying to savour experience
I'm seeing things clearly but it has quite nearly blown my mind
It's the aim of existence to offer resistance to the flow of
time
Everything is and that is why it is will be the line

I believe in perpetual motion
And i believe in perfect devotion
I believe in
I believe in
I believe in the things i've never had
I believe in my mum and my dad
And i believe in
I believe in

There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore

I'm skippin' the pages of a book that takes ages for the
foreword to end
Triangular cover concealing another aspect from view
My relative motion is just an illusion from stopping too fast
The essence of being these feelings i'm feeling i just want them
to last

I believe in original sin
And i believe what i believe in
Yes i believe in
I believe in
I believe in the web of fate
And i believe in i'm going to be late
So i'll be leavin'
What i believe in

There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
