    • BRIGHTON ROCK

    Happy little day Jimmy went away
    Met his little Jenny on a public holiday
    A happy pair they made so decorously laid
    'Neath the gay illuminations all along the promenade
    It's so good to know there's still a little magic in the air
    I'll weave my spell

    Jenny will you stay tarry with me pray
    Nothing 'ere need come between us
    Tell me love what do you say?
    Oh no I must away to my mum in disarray
    If my mother should discover how I spent my holiday
    It would be of small avail to talk of magic in the air
    I'll say farewell

    Oh rock of ages do not crumble
    Love is breathing still
    Oh lady moon shine down
    A little people magic if you will

    Jenny pines away writes a letter ev'ry day
    We must ever be together
    Nothing can my love erase
    Oh no I'm compromised
    I must apologize if my lady should discover
    How I spent my holidays

     

    KILLER QUEEN

    She keeps Moet and Chandon in her pretty cabinet
    'Let them eat cake' she says
    Just like Marie Antoinette
    A built in remedy for Khrushchev and Kennedy
    And anytime an invitation you can decline
    Caviar and cigarettes well versed in etiquette
    Extr'ordinarily nice

    She's a killer queen gunpowder gelatine
    Dynamite with a lazer beam
    Guaranteed to blow your mind
    Recommended at the price
    Insatiable an appetite wanna try?

    To avoid complications
    She never kept the same address
    In conversation she spoke just like a baroness
    Met a man from China went down to Geisha Minah
    Then again incidentally if you're that way inclined (she's a killer queen)
    Perfume came naturally from Paris (naturally)
    For cars she couldn't care less
    Fastidious and precise

    She's a killer queen gunpowder gelatine
    Dynamite with a lazer beam
    Guaranteed to blow your mind
    Recommended at the price
    Insatiable an appetite wanna try?

    Drop of a hat she's as willing as a playful as a pussy cat
    Then momentarily out of action
    Temporarily out of gas
    To absolutely drive you wild - wild
    She's out to get you

    She's a killer queen gunpowder gelatine
    Dynamite with a lazer beam
    Guaranteed to blow your mind
    Recommended at the price
    Insatiable an appetite wanna try?

    Wanna try

     

    TENEMENT FUNSTER

    My new purple shoes
    Bin amazin' the people next door
    And my rock'n'roll forty fives
    Bin enragin' the folks on the lower floor

    I got a way with the girls on my block
    Try my best to be a real individual
    And when we go down to smokies and rock
    They line up like it's some kind of ritual
    Oh give me a good guitar
    And you can say that my hair's a disgrace
    Or just find me an open car
    I'll make the speed of light outa this place

    I like the good things in life
    But most of the best things ain't free
    It's the same situation just cuts like a knife
    When you're young and you're poor and you're crazy
    Young and you're crazy...

    Oh give me a good guitar
    And you can say that my hair's a disgrace
    Or just find me an open car
    I'll make the speed of light outa this place

     

    FLICK OF THE WRIST

    Dislocate your spine if you don't sign
    He says I'll have you seeing double
    Mesmerize you when he's tongue tied
    Simply with those eyes ooh
    Synchronize your minds and see
    The beast within him rise
    Don't look back don't look back
    It's a rip off
    Flick of the wrist and you're dead baby
    Blow him a kiss and you're mad
    Flick of the wrist he'll eat your heart out
    A dig in the ribs and then a kick in the head
    He's taken an arm and taken a leg
    All this time honey baby you've been had

    Intoxicate your brain with what I'm sayin'
    If not you'll lie in knee deep trouble
    Prostitute yourself he says
    Castrate your human pride ooh
    Sacrifice your leisure days
    Let me squeeze you 'till you've dried
    Don't look back don't look back
    It's a rip off

    Work my fingers to my bones
    I scream with pain I still make no impression
    Seduce you with his money make machine
    Cross collateralise big time money money
    Reduce you to a muzak fake machine
    Then the last goodbye
    Flick of the wrist and you're dead baby
    Blow him a kiss and you're mad
    Flick of the wrist he'll eat your heart out
    A dig in the ribs and then a kick in the head
    He's taken an arm and taken a leg
    All this time honey baby you've been had

     

    LILY OF THE VALLEY

    I am forever searching high and low
    But why does ev'ryone tell me no
    Neptune of the seas an answer for me please
    The lily of the valley doesn't know

    I lie in wait with open eyes
    I carry on thru' stormy skies
    I follow ev'ry course my kingdom for a horse
    But each time I grow old
    Serpent of the Nile relieve me for a while
    And cast me from your spell and let me go

    Messenger from seven seas has flown
    To tell the king of Rhye he's lost his throne
    Wars will never cease
    Is there time enough for peace?
    The lily of the valley doesn't know

     

    NOW I'M HERE

    Here I stand (here I stand..)
    Look around around around around
    (Around around around around..)
    But you won't see me (you won't see me..)
    Now I'm here (now I'm here..)
    Now I'm there (now I'm there..)
    I'm just a just a new man
    Yes you made me live again

    A baby I was when you took my hand
    And the light of the night burned bright
    And the people all stared didn't understand
    But you knew my name on sight
    Whatever came of you and me?
    America's new bride to be
    Don't worry baby I'm safe and sound
    Down in the dungeon just Peaches and me
    Don't I love her so?
    Yes she made me live again Yeah!

    A thin moon me in the smoke screen sky
    Where the beams of your love light chase
    Don't move don't speak don't feel no pain
    With the rain running down my face
    Your matches still light up the sky
    And many a tear lives on in my eye
    Down in the city just Hoople and me
    Don't I love him so don't I love him so?

    Whatever comes of you and me
    I love to leave my memories with you

    Now I'm here (now I'm here.)
    Think I'll stay around around around
    (Around around around around..)
    Down in the city just you and me
    (Down in the city just you and me..)

    Don't I love you so?

    Go Go Go Little Queenie

     

    IN THE LAP OF THE GODS

    Ah ah ah ah ah
    Ah ah ah
    Leave it in the lap of the gods
    Ah ah ah

    I live my life for you
    Think all my thoughts with you and only you
    Anything you ask I do for you
    I touch your lips with mine
    But in the end I leave it to the lords
    Leave it in the lap of the gods
    What more can I do?
    Leave it in the lap of the gods
    I leave it to you
    Leave it in the lap of the gods
    Leave it in the lap of the gods

    STONE COLD CRAZY

    Sleeping very soundly on a Saturday morning
    I was dreaming I was Al Capone
    There's a rumour going round
    Gotta clear outa town
    I'm smelling like a dry fish bone
    Here come the law gonna break down the door
    Gonna carry me away once more
    Never never I never want it anymore
    Gotta get away from this stone cold floor
    Crazy stone cold crazy you know

    And I'm playing on my slide trombone

    Gotta get away from this stone cold floor
    Crazy stone cold crazy you know

    Walking down the street
    Shooting people that I meet
    With my rubber Tommy water gun

    He's gonna come and get me
    I gotta get me up and run
    They got the sirens loose

    Crazy stone cold crazy you know

     

    DEAR FRIENDS

    So a love is lost
    A love is won

    And then from all this gloom
    Life can start anew
    And there'll be no crying soon

    IN THE LAP OF THE GODS...REVISITED

    It's so easy but I can't do it
    So risky but I gotta chance it
    It's so funny there's nothing to laugh about
    My money that's all you want to talk about
    I can see what you want me to be
    But I'm no fool

    It's in the lap of the gods
    Wo wo la la la
    I can see what you want me to be
    But I'm no fool

    No beginning there's no ending
    There's no meaning in my pretending
    Believe me life goes on and on and on
    Forgive me when I ask you where do I belong
    You say I (you can do it) can't (you can do it
    You can go and) set you free from me
    But that's not true

    It's in the lap of the gods
    Wo wo la la la
    I can see what you want me to be
    But I'm no fool
    It's in the lap of the gods
    Wo wo la la la wo
    Wo wo la la wo wo wooh
    But that's not true
    It's in the lap of the gods
    Wo wo la la la wo
    Wo wo la la wo wo wooh
    But I'm no fool
    It's in the lap of the gods
    Wo wo la la la wo
    Wo wo la la wo wo wooh
    It's in the lap of the gods
    Wo wo la la la wo
    Wo wo la la wo wo wooh
    But I'm no fool
    It's in the lap of the gods
    Wo wo la la la wo
    Wo wo la la wo wo wooh
