1. _ Scissor Man
Snipping, snipping, snipping goes the scissor man,
Putting end to evil doers games.
Snipping, snipping, snipping goes the scissor man,
Maybe you are in his book of names.
Maybe you are in his book of names.
So be kind and helpful to your mother,
Just think twice before you try and steal.
When he cuts with sticky silver snippers,
You may find that some wounds never heal.
All self made bad boys,
If you refuse to believe he exist,
You won't be frightened when you find out,
You're on his list.
You're on his list.
You're on his list.
So be good and never poison people,
Just think twice before the deed is done.
When you wake up guilty in the morning,
You may find important pieces gone.

2. _ This Is Pop?
In a milk bar and feeling lost
Drinking sodas as cold as frost
Someone leans in my direction
Quizzing on my juke-box selection
What do you call that noise
That you put on?
This is pop
Yeah yeah
This is!
On a walkway and moving fast
All i get is transistor blast
Someone leans in my direction
Quizzing on my station selection
What do you call that noise
That you put on?
This is pop
Yeah yeah
This is!
We come the wrong way
We come the long way
We play the songs much too loud
This is pop
Yeah yeah

3. _ No Language In Our Lungs
There is no language in our lungs
To tell the world just how we feel
No bridge of thought
No mental link
No letting out just what you think
There is no language in our lungs
There is no muscle in our tongues
To tell the world what's in our hearts
No we're leaving nothing
Just chiselled stones
No chance to speak before we're bones
There is no muscle in our tongues
I thought i had the whole world in my mouth
I thought i could say what i wanted to say
For a second that thought became a sword in my hand
I could slay any problem that would stand in my way
I felt just like a crusader
Lionheart, a holy land invader
But nobody can say what they really mean to say and
The impotency of speech came up and hit me that day and
I would have made this instrumental
But the words got in the way
There is no language in our...
There is no language in our lungs
To tell the world what's in our hearts
No we're leaving nothing behind
Just chiselled stones
No chance to speak before we're bones
There is no language in our lungs.

4. _ Towers Of London
Towers of london
When they had built you
Did you watch over the men who fell
Towers of london
When they had built you
Victoria's gem found in somebody's hell
Pavements of gold leading to the underground
Grenadier guardsmen walking pretty ladies around
Fog is the sweat of the never never navvies who pound
Spikes in the rails to their very own heaven
Bridges of muscles spanning so long and high
Merchants from stepney walking pretty ladies by
Rain is the tears of the never never navvies who cry
For the bridge that doesn't go
In the direction of dublin
And i've seen it in a painting
And i've seen it in engraving
And i've seen it in their faces
Clear as children's chalk lines on the paving
Towers of london
La la londinium.

5. _ Life Begins At The Hop
I have learnt there's a magical spot at the hop
Come with me to the church on the corner the hop
There's nuts and crisps and ccc cola on tap
A good time had by the boys and girls at the hop
Tell me what do you say
Tell me what do you say
Life begins at the hop, boys and girls
Prepare yourself for the boys in the band at the hop
The cheap guitars, too young for the bars at the hop
We'll jive around, make fools of ourselves then stop
Back next week with another ridiculous tie knot
Tell me what do you say
Tell me what do you say
Life begins at the hop, boys and girls

6. _ Living Through Another Cuba
Living through another cuba
It's 1961 again and we are piggy in the middle
While war is polishing his drum and peace plays second fiddle
Russia and america are at each other's throats
But don't you cry
Just on your knees and pray, and while you're
Down there, kiss your arse goodbye
We're the bulldog on the fence
While others play their tennis overhead
It's hardly love all and somebody might
Wind up red or dead
Pour some oil on the water quick
It doesn't really matter where from
He love me, he loves me not
He's pulling fins from an atom bomb
This phenomenon happens every 20 years or so
If they're not careful your watch won't be the
Only thing with a radioactive glow
I'll stick my fingers in my ears
And hope they make it up before too late
If we get through this lot alright
They're due for replay, 1998

7. _ Generals And Majors
Generals and majors ah ah
They're never too far
From battlefields so glorious
Out in a world of their own
They'll never come down
Till once again victorious
Generals and majors always
Seem so unhappy 'less they got a war
Generals and majors ah ah
Like never before are tired of being actionless.
Calling generals and majors
Generals and majors everywhere
Calling generals and majors
Your world war iii is drawing near
Generals and majors ah ah
They're never too far
Away from men who made the grade
Out in a world of their own
They'll never come down
Until the battle's lost or made
Generals and majors ah ah
Like never before, are tired of being in the shade

8. _ Making Plans For Nigel
We're only making plans for nigel
We only want what's best for him
We're only making plans for nigel
Nigel just needs this helping hand
And if young nigel says he's happy
He must be happy
He must be happy in his work
We're only making plans for nigel
He has his future in a british steel
We're only making plans for nigel
Nigel's whole future is as good as sealed
And if young nigel says he's happy
He must be happy
He must be happy in his work
Nigel is not outspoken
But he likes to speak
And loves to be spoken to
Nigel is happy in his work
We're only making plans for nigel

9. _ Battery Brides (andy Paints Brian)
Battery brides, ha ha have you ever tried
To break out of your waiting room
And find yourself a waiting groom
Ba ba ba ba battery brides
Ba ba ba ba battery brides
She left school with a million others
And worked in a store part time
She dreams of a husband and a lover
Doesn't realise she's on the production line of ...

10. _ Are You Receiving Me?
Are you receiving me?
You are deceiving me i know, see i know
When we're out walking
Your mouth ain't where it's supposed to do the talking
When we're in kissing
Your lips are missing, are they out on loan to someone else
Are you listening?
I put it in a letter, what could be better?
I put it in a note, one night i wrote
I put it in a telegram, just like the son of sam
Babe there's something missing
Your tv's just hissing

11. _ Love At First Sight
See the lovers all gone crazy
Looking for romance it seems
Many sleepless nights will follow
Some may lose but some succeed
Love at first sight
What they want is...
Love at first sight
Make a play of lust intention
Only just one thing in mind
Make a slip could be forever
Wedding bells, the shotgun kind
Love at first sight
What they want is...
Love at first sight
Mouse takes the bait
So soon as he leaves his seat
There's no escape, very soon their eyes will meet
Love at first sight etc.
Take your partner to surrender
Then your misdemeanour's done
Sacrifice of maidenhood
But little boys must have their fun
Love at first sight.

12. _ Burning With Optimism's Flames
Never seen her glowing
All that bright she's throwing
Like some aurora
From her head it's growing
Reaching to the ground and all around
Like a navajo blanket
Never heard her singing
Now she's gently ringing
Like copper wind chimes
What on earth is bringing up this stream
The cat who got the cream is licking her lips
And smiling like her cheshire cousin
She claims she's found a way to make her own light
All you do is smile, you banish the night
She says she's burning with optimism's flames, away away
She says she's burning up all her guilts and shames, away away
She says she's burning with optimism's flames, away away
She says she's burning up
Now you see i'm smiling
Back to juvenile'ing
I learnt her lesson
In like flint and styling
All the world is neatly curled around my littlest finger
I can't stop this grinning
So assume i'm winning
Threw pessimism
In the air it's spinning
Crashing to the floor and nevermore
Will it lure me away with sweets
And shiny things just like a magpie
Now every bird and bee just fuel the fire for me
Now every closing door just fans the flames some more
(now i'm thinking okay)
(i'm turning night into day)
