I know you think we're pretty thick
Just a bunch of pikeys from the sticks
But you don't fool me with your rentacrowd
Your Hoxton hair and your trendy sound
You don't fool me with your rentacrowd
You're going nowhere
Going nowhere
You wouldn't last a minute back where I come from
The people there know a con is a con is a con
It ain't all about just the way you look
The clothes you wear and the drugs you took
It ain't all about just the way you look
You're going nowhere
Going nowhere
I know you're much better looking than me
Another face on the pages of the NME

If I Ain't Got You

Jimmy, Jimmy since you went away
I hold a séance for you everyday
I mourn your passing and I mourn my health
Without your love I'm just a ghost of myself
She said...
If I ain't go you
Then I ain't got nothing
If I ain't got you
Then I ain't got nothing
Jimmy, Jimmy know I feel so bad
Thinking about the things we never had
And since you left me, I've been on my own
Without your love, well I've been chilled to the bone
She said...

I don't want to be like you
See the world the way you do
And I won't ride upon your bus
Talking to you is too much fuss
I feel it in my bones
My head down to my toes
Just like Julia
Just like Julia
Just like Julia Jones
You go your way, I'll go mine
Making plans where the sun don't shine
And I won't ride upon your bus
Talking to you is too much fuss

I can hear you coming girl
From a thousand miles away
You came by telephone
Over from the USA
You've got something
All I've got nothing
And I want something from you
When all is said and done
Take the money
Get your skates on and
Run, run, run, run
You're the queen of tinsel town baby
I'm a refugee
God gave you everything
But he didn't give you me
You've got something
And I've got nothing
And I want something from you
When all is said and done
Take the money
Get your skates on and
Run, run, run, run

Dr Gee, what's wrong with me?
I'm not the man, that I used to be
I've got too much stuff on my mind
I'm not sleeping at night
Too much stuff on my mind this time
Too much stuff on my mind
Dr Gee WHat's wrong with me?
I looked in the mirror, but I couldn't see me
I must confess
My head's in a mess
It's a mystery to me
Because I've got everything
I've got everything indeed

Girl Like You

I'm only half a man
But I give all I can
The center of my world
Is my dancing girl
This tin soldier man
Wants a girl like you
They put me down the drain
But I came back again
You and my little tin heart
Should never be apart
They never made me cry
Just look me in the eye
You are my whole wide world
My little dancing girl
I want a girl like you

With Your Love

You climbed out of the Medway
The way that some folks do
Now you don't give a monkey's
About anything I do
YOu left me in the morning
Said I'm just a waste of skin
And you won't stop to pick me up
Cos you don't know where I've been
With your love
With your love
You got me with your love
I watched you from a distance
When the smile fell off your face
You were always blaming someone else
And getting on my case
You taught me to be angry
Oh yeh, resign myself to fate
You taught me that there ain't no god
You taught me how to hate
You never had the feelings
Like normal people do
And nothing that I ever done
Was good enough for you
Now I'm a disappointment
Well I try so hard to please
But I can't beg forgiveness no more
And go down on my knees

No Good

You're a well known face
On the music scene
You work in A&R
For Sony BMG
You came looking for something
In an '80's way
But we ain't matching the profile
The boss has set you today
That band won't do no good
We don't even care
The promoter said
You won't play no more
Not unless you get
More punters through the door
He don't care what you sound like
He don't care what you play
As long as you make him money
For doing nothing all day
Listen all you hunts
That want to put us down
Cos we don't conform
To the latest sound
We don't care whta you're thinking
We don't care what you say
Cos wen you're laying the boot in
We continue to play

Mesmer

Franz Anton's experiments
Are psychological events
Magnetise your earthly brain
And take you to another plain
Supernaturally, you will agree
With his every word
And he will have his message heard
Magnetised, he will instill
Conformity to Mesmer's will
Supernaturally you will agree
Mesmer
You've got a winner there
Oh yeh
Oh how great it seems to be
The darling of society
Feted by the great and good
And you would too
If I thought you could
Supernaturally you will agree
And you'll have your way
And always get to win the day
Manipulate those weak of mind
Expected if a touch unkind
Supernaturally you will agree - Oh yeh

Down by the river
A trade to make you shiver
Smith gives out legal advice
Sitting in a bubble and dishing out the trouble
Death at a discounted price
I'll tell you something
A life costs nothing
He's gonna prove it to you
A Cold 500, a Cold 500, a Cold 500 will do
For legal cases and busting faces
Smith's gonna lend you a hand
You pay your money and fix it in a hurry
And wash that blood from your hand
One cash payment
A water arrangement
A minute and the deal will be done
For quick successes, Smith confesses
Results come quick with a gun

She's Not Really There

On a foggy hill on the 2-2-9
When you're driving south in the dead of night
And you see that girl with the nowhere eyes
She's not really there (Not really there)
She's not really there
At all...
On a foggy hill back in '65
Take the Ford Cortina for a hen night drive
It's the final taxi for the blushing bride
She's not really there (Not really there)
She's not really there
At all...

I'm a bit part player int eh story of my life
And I can't wake up but I just won't sleep at night
Maybe I'm alive and maybe I'm dead
The things you say rattle round my head
Empty words that sound like shit to me
Turn it round, round, round, round, round, round
Turn it around
Ther'es a black dog sitting on my shoulder late at night
And the muzzle comes off and we talk about my life
Well, I don't need your Poly-Anna 'ism'
Your life skills coach adn modern superstitions
Empty words that sound like shit to me

They've gone to Australia
In search of the sun
They've gone to Australia
In search of some fun
And while they're away
Their old friends will say
Who knows what the future will bring?
They've gone to Australia
They're starting again
They've gone to Australia
And leaving their friends
And while they're away
The relatives say
Who knows what the future will bring?
They've gone to Australia
To hide from the rain
They've gone to Australia
To escape the mundane
And while they're away
They hold hands and say
Who knows what the future will bring?
