Down at the club
Where the cut-price drink is flowing
Keith and his camera get the school girls going
CHORUS:
With pictures
Pictures scattered around
Pictures
Pictures scattered around
Pictures
Such a terrible sound
Inside his mind
Buys them a drink
And gives it some old twaddle
If he takes the photos, she could be a model
She's unaware
Of his devious intention
He's keeping the snaps for his personal collection

Keep Your Eyes On Me
03:06
|

She is a tabloid legend
She lost her dignity
They put her in the papers
They put her on TV
They love her cos she's stupid
She won a taste of fame
She is a tabloid legend
Don't you forget her name
Don't you forget her name
Chorus:
Keep your eyes x 3
On me
She's got hair extensions
And she's got orange skin
Fake nails and make up
And now she's much too thin
She had an operation
Did something to her face
And now she looks like something
That comes from outer space
She is a tabloid legend
She lost her dignity
They put her in the freak show
And clipped their bingo wings
they hate her cos she's stupid
She don't deserve her fame
She is a tabloid legend
Don't you forget her name
Don't you forget her name

I Don't Believe You
02:20
|
|||
If there's a God, then you're going to hell
Said you were dying but you're perfectly well
I don't know how you face yourself everyday
I don't believe a single word that you say
Chorus:
I don't believe you x6
Don't believe you now
I barely know you and what you're all about
You're just a liar and I'm sussing you out
You never ever look me straight in the eye
You cross your heart and you're hoping to die
|

I think you're changing
The way you feel about me
The things you're saying
And everybody can see
And I don't know what happened to that girl
And I don't know what happened in her world
Chorus:
The girl who became a machine x3
I don't mind
They stopped you feeling
And put a chip in your brain
Ripped your heart out
And drained the blood from your veins
Working for the council every day
Watching every moment fade away

After You're Gone
02:52
|
|||
As I lay in my hospital bed
My heart pouring out and you're waiting for death
And I'm only an hour away from a breakdown
Been together a long time my friend
Don't know when I'm ever gonna see you again
And I feel like a burden a fool, I'm a letdown
Chorus:
Who's gonna look after me? x3
After you're gone
Stare across at your empty old chair
I'm asking you a question but I know you're not there
And I'm only an hour away from a breakdown
Sixty years in the blink of an eye
From the Rochester Casino to the final goodbye
And I feel like a burden, a fool, I'm a letdown
Watch the telly; I'm down in the dumps
I know I mustn't grumble but it gives me the hump
And I'm only an hour away from a breakdown
Take a walk to the end of the road
Take the bus to Chatham cos there's nowhere to go
And I feel like a burden a fool, I'm a letdown

Mr. Grey
02:52
|
|||
Well good morning Mr. Grey
It's another busy day
And you've got no time for chat
Having fun and things like that
Cos it's nearly eight o' clock
You're expected on the dot
It's the only job you've got
So it's off to work you trot
Mr. Grey...
Now your wife is all alone
In your new build starter home
And she longs to get away
Feel the sun upon her face
And your son stares through the glass
As the world goes marching past
It's the end of all her dreams
No one hears her silent screams
Mr Grey
Chorus:
She is leaving x3
And you don't care
All you talk about is work
And it's driving her berserk
Since they saw that you were keen
Turned you into a machine
You're a big name at the bank
Pat yourself upon the back
Cos she's leaving you today
And there's nothing you can say
Mr Grey
What went wrong for Mr Grey?
Came home early from work one day
Cut himself and quietly slipped away

Nothing Like You
01:57
|
|||
I came to your party
But there's nothing here for me
I don't like your friends
And I can see they don't like me
Chorus:
I'm nothing like you
Nothing like you
Anyone can see
I'm nothing like you
Nothing like you
I don't need your love
And you're nothing like me
I came to your night club
But the people here are fools
They're all getting pissed up
While they act like animals

If You Live Round Here
02:09
|
|||
You don't do different if you live round here
The natives get wrestles and they think you're queer
You're gonna have to lump it
Baby if you live round here
You think you're better than the population
Don't get ideas so above your station
You're gonna have to lump it
Baby if you live round here
And I don't think that it's right
Beating up a stranger on a Saturday night
I don't think that it's right
Any time of the year
Chorus:
But if you live round here x2
You say you've had an education
Round here boy, that's an affectation
You're gonna have to lump it
Baby if you live round here
And I don't think that it's right
Messing up your children for the rest of their life
I don't think that it's right
Any time of year
But if you live round here...

You Tell Lies
02:02
|

PC Plot lives a double life
He's got another woman that he sees on the side
A little 'ows yer father, then he's home to the wife
And all his mates do it, so it must be alright
Chorus:
You tell lies x4
In a cardboard house on the new estate
The wife is worried sick cos you're home so late
You've got so much but it's never enough
Been playing happy families
Now you're messing it up
I bet your kids must be really proud
Since you got caught with your trousers down
The poor old wife fills her heart up with hate
Now she's sneaking out the backdoor and she's shagging your mate

Man Who Used To Be
02:23
|
|||
Ain't no stopping
Now you know my name
Ain't no stopping from driving me insane
You're the man who used to be
And you won't stop talking to me
It's been a long time
It's been a long time
It's been a long time
Since you had your day
Since you had your way
Played on a session at the BBC
And everything you tell me
You did it better than me
You've been going on about
The time you played Sydney Opera House
It's been a long time
It's been a long time
It's been a long time
Since you had your day
Since you had your way
Ain't no stopping
Now you're in my place
You're shouting in my ears
And spitting in my face
You're the man who used to be
And you won't stop talking to me
It's been a long time
It's been a long time
It's been a long time
Since you had your day
Since you had your way

Jack In The Greens

Jack in the Greens
Jack in the Greens
You rained on my parade
And all the plans we made
And all I got was laid
Chorus:
And now it's over x2
Summer has gone
Everything's wrong
You took my girl away
I wish she could have stayed
And all I got was laid
And now it's over
I should have seen the signs
I should have seen the signs
But I won't ask for nothing special
I only want what's wright
Jack in the Greens
Jack in the Greens
You rained on my parade
And all the plans we made
And all I got was laid
And now it's over

Under The Thumb
02:22
|
|||
I signed my name on the line
And work for you all the time
And all the money I make
You take each penny away
Bridge:
Watching our relationship go wrong
Every time we speak, you puiss me off
Chorus:
You've got me under the thumb where you want me x3
You've got me under the thumb and I don't know why
You make me cry, cry, cry
Let's throw the contract away
And say whatever you say
Cos we just don't seem to do
The things that we used to do

The Great Omani
02:33
|
|||
I am the Great Omani
And here I go again
I am an entertainer
I am an English man
Don't forget about me x3
Now that I'm gone
I am the Great Omani
And don't forget my name
I'm jumping off the West Pier
As I go up in flames
Don't forget about me x3
Now that I'm gone
They put the Great Omani
Inside a wooden box
Instead of nails in the coffin
They're using chains and locks
