    • Death on two legs (Dedicated to...)

    You suck my blood like a leech
    You break the law and you preach
    Screw my brain till it hurts
    You've taken all my money
    And you want more

    Misguided old mule with your pig headed rules
    With your narrow minded cronies
    Who are fools
    of the first division

    Death on two legs
    You're tearing me apart
    Death on two legs
    You've never had a heart of your own

    Kill joy, bad guy
    big talking small fry
    You're just an old barrow boy
    Have you found a new toy to replace me?
    Can you face me?

    But now you can kiss my ass goodbye

    Feel good, are you satisfied?

    Do you feel like suicide?
    (I think you should)
    Is your conscience all right?
    Does it plague you at night?
    Do you feel good feel good?

    You talk like a big business tycoon,
    You're just a hot air balloon,
    So no-one gives you a damn,
    You're just an overgrown schoolboy
    Let me tan your hide

    A dog with disease
    You're the king of the 'sleaze'
    Put your money where your mouth is
    Mister know-all,
    Was the fin on your back
    part of the deal? (Shark)

    Death on two legs
    You're tearing me apart
    Death on two legs
    You've never had a heart
    (Right from the start)

    Insane you should be put inside
    You're a sewer rat decaying in
    a cesspool of pride
    Should be made unemployed
    Then make yourself null and void
    Make me feel good
    I feel good



    Lazing on a sunday afternoon 

    I go out to work on Monday morning
    Tuesday I go off to honeymoon
    I'll be back again before it's time for sunnydown
    I'll be lazing on a Sunday afternoon
    Bicycling on every Wednesday evening
    Thursday I go waltzing to the Zoo
    I come from London town
    I'm just an ordinary guy
    Fridays I go painting in the Louvre
    I'm bound to be proposing
    on a Saturday night
    There he goes again
    I'll be lazing on a Sunday lazing on a Sunday
    Lazing on a Sunday afternoon

     

     

    I'm in love with my car

    The machine of a dream
    Such a clean machine
    With the pistons a pumping
    And the hub caps all gleam

    When I'm holding your wheel
    All I hear is your gear
    When my hand's on your grease gun
    Oh it's like a disease son

    I'm in love with my car
    Gotta feel for my automobile
    Get a grip on my boy racer rollbar
    Such a thrill when your radials squeal

    Told my girl I'll have to forget her
    Rather buy me a new carburetor
    So she made tracks saying
    This is the end now
    Cars don't talk back
    They're just four wheeled friends now

    When I'm holding your wheel
    All I hear is your gear
    When I'm cruising in overdrive
    Don't have to listen to no run of the mill talk jive

    I'm in love with my car
    Gotta feel for my automobile
    I'm in love with my car
    String back gloves in my automolove

     

     

    You're my best friend

    Oooh you make me live
    Whatever this world can give to me
    It's you you're all I see
    Oooh you make me live now honey
    Oooh you make me live

    Oh you're the best friend
    that I ever had
    I've been with you such a long time
    You're my sunshine
    and I want you to know
    That my feelings are true
    I really love you
    Oh you're my best friend

    Oooh you make me live

    Oh I've been wandering round
    But I still come back to you
    In rain or shine
    You've stood by me girl
    I'm happy at home
    You're my best friend

    Oooh you make me live
    Whenever this world is cruel to me
    I got you to help me forgive
    Oooh you make me live now honey
    Oooh you make me live

    You're the first one
    When things turn out bad
    You know I'll never be lonely
    You're my only one
    And I love the things
    I really love the things that you do
    You're my best friend

    Oooh you make me live

    I'm happy at home
    You're my best friend
    Oh you're my best friend
    Oooh you make me live
    You you're my best friend

     

     

     

    '39

    'In the year of thirty-nine'
    Assembled here the volunteers
    In the days when lands were few
    Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn
    The sweetest sight ever seen
    And the night followed day
    And the story tellers say
    That the score brave souls inside
    For many a lonely day
    Sailed across the milky seas
    Never looked back
    never feared, never cried

    Don't you hear my call
    Though you're many years away?
    Don't you hear me calling you?
    Write your letters in the sand
    For the day I'll take your hand
    In the land that our grand-children knew

    'In the year of thirty-nine'
    Came a ship from the blue
    The volunteers came home that day
    And they bring good news
    Of a world so newly born
    Though their hearts so heavily weigh
    For the earth is old and grey
    Little darling we'll away
    But my love, this cannot be
    Oh so many years have gone
    Though I'm older than a year
    Your mothers eyes from your eyes cry to me

    Don't you hear my call
    Though you're many years away?
    Don't you hear me calling you?
    Write your letters in the sand
    For the day I'll take your hand
    In the land that our grand-children knew

    Don't you hear my call
    Though you're many years away?
    Don't you hear me calling you?
    All your letters in the sand
    cannot heal me like your hand
    For my life still ahead pity me

     

     

    Sweet lady

    You call me up and treat me like a dog
    You call me up and tear me up inside
    You've got me on a lead
    Oooh you bring me down, you shout around
    You don't believe that I'm alone
    Oooh you don't believe me

    Sweet lady sweet lady
    Sweet lady stay sweet you say

    You call me up and feed me all the lines
    You call me sweet like I'm some kind of cheese
    Waiting on the shelf
    You eat me up, you hold me down
    I'm just a fool to make you a home
    Oooh you really do and you say

    Sweet lady sweet lady
    Sweet lady oooh c'mon stay sweet

    My sweet lady
    Though it seems like we wait for ever
    Stay sweet baby
    Believe and we've got everything we need
    Sweet lady sweet lady
    Sweet lady... stay sweet
    Stay sweet, sweet lady

     

     

    Seaside rendezvous

    Seaside - whenever you stroll along with me
    I'm merely contemplating what you feel inside
    Meanwhile I ask you to be my Clementine
    You say you will if you could but you can't
    I love you madly
    Let my imagination run away with you gladly
    A brand new angle highly commendable
    Seaside rendezvous

    I feel so romantic - can we do it again?
    Can we do it again sometime I'd like that?
    Fantastic c'est la vie mesdames et messieurs
    And at the peak of the season
    The Mediterranean
    This time of year it's so fashionable

    I feel like dancing in the rain
    Can I have a volunteer?
    Dancing - what a damn jolly good idea
    It's such a jollification as a matter of fact
    So 'tres charmant' my dear

    Underneath the moonlight
    Together we'll sail across the sea
    Reminiscing every night
    Meantime - I ask you to be my Valentine
    You say you'd have to tell your daddy if you can
    I'll be your Valentino

    We'll ride upon an omnibus and then the casino
    Get a new facial start a sensational
    Seaside rendezvous - adorable
    Seaside rendezvous oooh
    Seaside rendezvous
    Give us a kiss!

     

     

    The prophet's song

    Oh oh people of the earth
    Listen to the warning
    the seer he said
    Beware the storm that gathers here
    Listen to the wise man

    I dreamed I saw on a moonlit stair
    Spreading his hand to the multitude there
    A man who cried for a love gone stale
    And ice cold hearts of charity bare
    I watched as fear took
    the old man's gaze
    Hopes of the young in troubled graves
    'I see no day' I heard him say
    So grey is the face of every mortal

    Oh oh people of the earth!
    'Listen to the warning
    the prophet he said
    For soon the cold of night will fall
    Summoned by your own hand

    Ah ah children of the land
    Quicken to the new life
    Take my hand
    Fly and find the new green bough
    Return like the white dove

    He told of death as
    a bone white haze
    Taking the lost and the unloved babes
    Late, too late, all the wretches run
    These kings of beasts now counting their days
    From mother's love is the son estranged
    Married his own his precious gain
    The earth will shake, in two will break
    And death all round will be your dowry

    Oh oh people of the earth
    Listen to the warning
    the seer he said
    For those who hear and mark
    my words
    Listen to the good plan

    Oh oh oh oh and two by two my human zoo
    They'll be running for to come
    Running for to come
    out of the rain

    Oh flee for your lives
    who heed me not
    Let all your treasures make you
    fear for your life
    Deceive you not
    the fires of hell will take you
    Should death await you

    God gave you grace to purge this place
    And peace all around may be your fortune
    Oh oh children of the land
    Love is still the answer, take my hand
    The vision fades a voice I hear
    "Listen to the madman!"
    But still I fear and still I dare not
    Laugh at the madman!

     

     

    Love of my life

    Love of my life, you've hurt me
    You've broken my heart and now you leave me
    Love of my life, can't you see
    Bring it back, bring it back
    Don't take it away from me
    Because you don't know
    What it means to me

    Love of my life, don't leave me
    You've taken my love, you now desert me
    Love of my life, can't you see
    Bring it back, bring it back
    Don't take it away from me
    Because you don't know
    What it means to me

    You will remember
    When this is blown over
    And everything's all by the way
    When I grow older
    I will be there at your side to remind you
    How I still love you I still love you

    Back - Hurry back
    Please bring it back home to me
    Because you don't know
    What it means to me
    Love of my life
    Love of my life
    Yeah

     

     

    Good company

    Take good care of what you've got
    My father said to me
    As he puffed his pipe and baby B
    He dandled on his knee
    Don't fool with fools who'll turn away
    Keep all good company
    Oohoo oohoo
    Take care of those you call your own
    and keep good company

    Soon I grew and happy too
    My very good friends and me
    We'd play all day with Sally J
    The girl from number four
    And very soon I begged her
    Won't you keep me company?
    Oohoo oohoo, oohoo oohoo
    Come marry me for evermore
    We'll be good company

    Now, marriage is an institution sure
    My wife and I, our needs and nothing more
    All my friends by a year
    by and by disappeared
    But we're safe enough behind our door

    I flourished in my humble trade
    My reputation grew
    The work devoured my waking hours
    But when my time was through
    Reward of all my efforts
    My own Limited Company

    I hardly noticed Sally
    as we parted company
    All through the years in the end it appears
    There was never really anyone but me
    Now I'm old, I puff my pipe
    But no-one's there to see

    I ponder on the lesson
    of my life's insanity
    Take care of those you call your own
    And keep good company

     

     

    Bohemian rhapsody 

    Is this the real life?
    Is this just fantasy?
    Caught in a landslide
    No escape from reality
    Open your eyes
    Look up to the skies and see
    I'm just a poor boy
    I need no sympathy
    Because I'm easy come, easy go,
    A little high, little low,
    Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me,
    To me

    Mama, just killed a man,
    Put a gun against his head,
    Pulled my trigger, now he's dead,
    Mama, life had just begun,
    But now I've gone and thrown it all away
    Mama oooh,
    Didn't mean to make you cry
    If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
    Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters

    Too late, my time has come,
    Sends shivers down my spine
    Body's aching all the time,
    Goodbye everybody, I've got to go
    Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
    Mama oooh
    I don't want to die,
    I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all

    I see a little silhouette of a man,
    Scaramouche, scaramouche will you do the Fandango?
    Thunderbolt and lightning - very, very frightening me
    Galileo, Galileo,
    Galileo, Galileo
    Galileo figaro - Magnifico
    But I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me
    He's just a poor boy from a poor family
    Spare him his life from this monstrosity
    Easy come easy go, will you let me go
    Bismillah! No, we will not let you go
    let him go
    Bismillah! We will not let you go
    let him go
    Bismillah! We will not let you go
    let me go
    Will not let you go - let me go
    Will not let you go - let me go
    No, no, no, no, no, no, no
    Mama mia, mama mia
    mama mia let me go
    Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me

    So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye
    So you think you can love me and leave me to die
    Oh baby - can't do this to me baby
    Just gotta get out, just gotta get right out of here

    Nothing really matters,
    Anyone can see,
    Nothing really matters, nothing really matters to me

    Any way the wind blows....



    God save the Queen
