The Enemy B-Sides Lyrics
1.Fear Killed The Youth Of Our Nation


2.Get Blown Away

And when she blows the candle flame to smoke
She says a prayer for all of those who live in houses and in
homes
And monday shell go down town standing naked in the road
You may know what I am
But who I am you dont know

Shell run across the mustard dust sand
Scream down the wind
And the sea is in a cold
Like when in holiday homes
And houses like sweet confectionary
And sandcastles and drinking wine
Hungry dinners perfectly timed

And mother and father glowing young
Happy to be each other together
When she blows the candle out
She goes to bed and lies and drags through her head
The day that went way of every day
But tomorrow shell fly a plane
Over the fields where the houses arent built yet

She smiled sweetly across the room
Through the lunch time smoke
And I loved her for a second
And discarded the queen and I know
How sweetness turns sour
And leaves they turn to brown
And then to earth and dust
And settle in this town
You get blown away...

(repeat 1st half)

She smiled sweetly across the lunch time smoke
And I loved her for a second and discarded the queen and I know
When men are being little boys again
And women cruel step mothers of old
And this is the invention
The adventure of my own
I get blown away...

4.Let Me Know

Oh oh, Let me be now
Hmm hmm, let me because
I want to be free now
Oh oh, free to see, yeah well
Want to walk away, oh oh
Let me feel my feet
Let me be, free
Time and time and time we see these
Acts against humanity, well,
Each for each and each will be then
Shed blood for what they each believe, well
On and on and on we go well,
Some will you see and, some won't be
True for you and truth will lead you
To a sense of, well now, peace
Let me be now
Hmm hmm, let me because

Oh oh, free to see, yeah well
Want to walk away, oh oh

Time and time and time we see these
Acts against humanity, well
Each for each and each will be then
Shed blood for what they each believe, well
On and on and on we go well
Some will you see and, some won't be
True for you and truth will lead you
To a sense of, well now, peace
Let me be now
Hmm hmm, let me because
I want to be free now
Oh oh, free to see, yeah well
Want to walk away, oh oh
Let me feel my feet
Let me be, free
Wanna be wanna see would you let me go
Let me be now, hmm hmm, let me be
Wanna be wanna see would you let me go
Let me be now, hmm hmm, let me be-cause

Oh, I wanna be free

Free free now, free to see
Oh, cos I, wanna be free


5.Happy Birthday Jane

Lyricist:Thomas Clarke

Good mornin', Jane
Happy birthday once again
What would we do
What would we do without you
Without you?

Wake up, the sun is shining
Shining for you
To take all your troubles away
Just for a day
To take all your troubles away
Just for a day, for a day

So goodnight, Jane
Happy birthday once again
Now what will we do
What will we do without you
Without you?

Wake up, the sun is shining
Shining for you
To take all your troubles away
Just for a day
To take all your troubles away
Just for a day, for a day

Happy birthday, happy birthday
Happy birthday, happy birthday, Jane
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Happy birthday, Jane

Happy birthday, happy birthday
Happy birthday, Jane
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Happy birthday, Jane


6.Five Years

Pushing thru the market square, so many mothers sighing
News had just come over, we had five years left to cry in
News guy wept and told us, earth was really dying
Cried so much his face was wet, then I knew he was not lying
I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies
I saw boys, toys electric irons and t.v.s
My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
And all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people
And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people
I never thought Id need so many people

A girl my age went off her head, hit some tiny children
If the black hadnt a-pulled her off, I think she would have
killed them
A soldier with a broken arm, fixed his stare to the wheels of a
cadillac
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest, and a queer threw
up at the sight of that

I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour, drinking milk shakes
cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine, dont think
You knew you were in this song
And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
And I thought of ma and I wanted to get back there
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
I kiss you, youre beautiful, I want you to walk

Weve got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
Weve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, thats all weve got
Weve got five years, what a surprise
Five years, stuck on my eyes
Weve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, thats all weve got
Weve got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
Weve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, thats all weve got
Weve got five years, what a surprise
Weve got five years, stuck on my eyes
Weve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, thats all weve got
Five years
Five years
Five years
Five years


7.Away From Here

(Intro)

Im so sick sick sick and tired
Of working just to be retired
I don't want to get that far
I don't want your company car
Promotions ain't my thing
Name badges are not interesting

(Pre-Chorus)

Its much easier for me see
To stay at home with Richard and Judy

(Chorus)

A way a way oh, oh oh, away from here
A way a way oh, oh oh, away from here
A way a way oh, oh oh, away from here
A way a way oh, oh oh, away from here

(Verse)

I'm fed up of early mornings
Wake up calls are getting boring round here
Feet dragging on the pavement
The same people with the same arrangements
Irony can be quite funny
Making other people money
My working day has just begun
It's not exactly what i'd would call fun
I want to wake up in the afternoon
With daytime tv and my favourite tune

(Pre-Chorus)
Cause it is much, easier for me
To stay at home with richard and judy

(Chorus)

A way a way oh, oh oh, away from here
A way a way oh, oh oh, away from here
A way a way oh, oh oh, away from here
A way a way oh, oh oh, away from here

A way a way oh, oh oh, away from here
A way a way oh, oh oh, away from here
A way a way oh, oh oh, away from here
A way a way a way, away from

(Solo)

(Verse)

Saturday is your only highlight
When you go out and live the high life
Meeting up with other people
Get interaction with the weekend people
*At least when all is* said and done
You wouldn't been the only one
*to be* a slave to the modern wage
Your crappy weekend is your only escape
I want to wake up in the afternoon
With daytime tv and my favourite tune

(Pre-Chorus)

Cause it is much easier, for me see
To stay at home with richard and judy

(Chorus)

A way a way oh, oh oh, away from here
A way a way oh, oh oh, away from here
A way a way oh, oh oh, away from here
A way a way oh, oh oh, away from here

A way a way oh, oh oh, away from here
A way a way oh, oh oh, away from here
A way a way oh, oh oh, away from here
A way a way a way, away from..... here


8.Ordinary Girl


9.You're Not Alone

Don't let the sun go down, On an Empire,
It's too much to waste. Don't let the walls come down,
Round an Empire, It's too much to wave goodbye.

We've been working for a long time,
We've been fighting for a way,
Now in the streets men standing in lines they're all wasted
anyway.
You're living in an incestuous world,
Where you're conscious holds no weight,
You sold us down the river like rats then,
You drowned and beat the brave.

You're not alone you know, you're not alone you know
You're not alone no no.

Don't let the sun too much to wash away.

We've been working for a long time,
We've been fighting for a way,
Now in the streets men standing in lines they're all wasted
anyway.
You're living in an incestuous world,
Where you're conscious holds no weight,
You sold us down the river like rats then,
You drowned and beat the brave.

You're not alone you know, you're not alone you know
You're not alone no no. (yeah,yeah)
(Not alone, not alone)
There's just too many dreams in this wasteland for you to leave
us all behind.
There's just too many dreams in this wasteland for you to leave
us all behind.

(You're not alone no, no)

You're not alone you know, you're not alone you know (yeah,yeah)
You're not alone no no.
You're not alone you know, you're not alone you know
You're not alone no no.

Stop your messing around,
Better think of your future.
Time you straighten right out,
Creating problems in town.

A message to you.
Stop your fooling around.
Time you straighten right out.
Better think of your future,
As you wind up in jail.

Stop your messing around.
Better think of your future.
Time you straighten right out,
Creating problems in town.
