I think she was a middle-distance runner (The translation wasn't clear) Could be a budding stately hero International competition in a year She was a good enough reason for a party (Well, you couldn't keep up on a hard track mile) While she ran a perfect circle And she wore a perfect smile In Budapest, hot night in Budapest We had to cozy up in...Learn More

On Preston platform Do your soft shoe shuffle dance Brush away the cigarette ash that's Falling down your pants And you sadly wonder Does the nurse treat your old man The way she should She made you tea Asked for your autograph What a laugh...Learn More

When you're falling awake and you take stock of the new day And you hear your voice croak as you choke On what you need to say Well, don't you fret, don't you fear, I will give you good cheer Life's a long song, life's a long song, life's a long song If you wait then your plate I will fill As the verses unfold and your soul suffers the long...Learn More

In the shuffling madness of the locomotive breath Runs the all-time loser, headlong to his death He feels the piston scraping steam breaking on his brow Old Charlie stole the handle and the train won't stop going No way to slow down He sees his children jumping off at the stations one by one His woman and his best friend in bed and having...Learn More

Meanwhile back in the year One When you belonged to no-one You didn't stand a chance son If your pants were undone 'Cause you were bred for humanity And sold to society One day you'll wake up In the Present Day A million generations removed from expectations Of being who you really want to be Skating away, skating away Skating away on the thin...Learn More

People what have you done Locked Him in His golden cage Made Him bend to your religion Him resurrected from the grave, from the grave He is the God of nothing If that's all that you can see You are the god of everything He's inside you and me So lean upon Him gently And don't call on Him to save you From your social graces And the sins you used...Learn More

Sitting on a park bench Eyeing little girls with bad intent Snot running down his nose Greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes Drying in the cold sun Watching as the frilly panties run Feeling like a dead duck Spitting out pieces of his broken luck Sun streaking cold an old man wandering lonely Taking time the only way he knows Leg hurting bad, as...Learn More

I'm going up the 'Pool from down the smoke below To taste me mum's jam sarnies and see our Aunty Flo The candy floss salesman watches ladies in then sand Down for a freaky weekend in the hope that they'll be meeting Mr. Universe The iron tower smiles down upon the silver sea And along the Golden Mile they'll be swigging mugs of tea The politicians...Learn More

Happy and I'm smiling, walk a mile to drink your water You know I'd love to love you and above you there's no other We'll go walking out while others shout of war's disaster Oh, we won't give in, let's go living in the past Once I used to join, every boy and girl was my friend Now there's revolution, but they don't know what they're fighting Let...Learn More
