1. _ It Could Be You
Churchill got his lucky number but tomorrow there's another Could be me, could be you, no silver spoon Sticky teeth they rot too soon You've got to have the best tunes or that's it, you've blown it All we want is to be happy in our homes like happy families Be the man on the beach with the world at his feet Yes, it could be you, ohoh oh The likely lads are picking up the uglies Yesterday they were just puppies Beery slurs now life's a blur Telly addicts You should seem that at it Getting in a panic Will we be there? Trafalgar square All we want is to be happy in our homes like happy families Be the man on the beach with the world at his feet Yes, it could be you Could be me, could be you Could be me, could be you Could be me, could be you Could be me, could be you, could be you, could be you Don't worry, if it's not your lucky number Because tomorrow there is another Could be you, could be me All we want is to be happy in our homes like happy families Be the man on the beach with the world at his feet Yes, it could be you, ohoh oh more free lyrics |
2. _ Mr. Robinson's Quango
Oh, Mr Robinson
And his quango
Dirty dealer
Expensive car
Runs the buses and the Evening Star
He got a hairpiece
Ooh, he got herpes
His private life is very discreet
A nicer man, no, you're never gonna meet
He's the self-confessed saviour of the dim right wing
He got respiratory problems and a mason's ring
Oh, Mr Robinson
And his quango
Drinks with generals and county wives
The family business is doing alright
They're doing tangos
Down in the quangos
He makes them tick
Ooh, he makes them tock
And if you don't fit
He put you in the dock
He just sits in his leather chair and twiddles his thumb
Gets his secretary in and pinches her bum
He ran into the toilets in the town hall
He got his biro out and wrote on the wall
'I'm wearing black French knickers under my suit
I've got stocking and suspenders on
I'm feeling rather loose'
Ooh, I'm a naughty boy
Ooh, I'm a naughty, naughty boy

3. _ Fade Away
They stumbled into their lives In a vague way became man and wife One got the other they deserved one another They settled in a brand new town With people from the same background They kept themselves busy Long hours left them dizzy Now when he's in, she's out All you ever do is fade away All you ever do is fade away They are not making plans Because now they understand All you ever do is fade away He noticed he had visible lines She worried about her behind Their birth had been the death of them It didn't really bother them Now when she's in, he's out All you ever do is fade away All you ever do is fade away She's not making plans Because now she understand All you ever do is fade away When he's in, she's out All you ever do is fade away All you ever do is fade away They're not making plans Because now they understand You must learn to forget Cause this is all you have All you ever do is fade away All you ever do is fade away All you ever do is fade away They're not making plans Because now they understand All you ever do is fade away All you ever do is fade away All you ever do is fade away more free lyrics |
4. _ Best Days
Over the river they all go again Out into leafy nowhere hope someone's waiting out there for them Cabbie has his mind on a fare to the sun He works nights but it's not much fun Picks up the london yo-yos All on their own down soho Take me home Other people wouldn't like to hear you If you said that these are the best days of their lives Other people turn around and laugh at you If you said that these are the best days of our lives Trellick tower's been calling I know she'll leave me in the morning In hotel cells listening to dull tones Remote controls and cable moans In his drink he's been talking Gets disconnected sleepwalking back home Other people wouldn't like to hear you If you said that these are the best days of our lives Other people turn around and laugh at you If you said that these are the best days of our lives, of our lives Other people wouldn't like to hear you If you said that these are the best days of our lives Other people turn around and laugh at you If you said that these are the best days of our lives Other people break into a cold sweat If you said that these are the best days of their lives And other people turn around and laugh at you If you said that these are the best days of our lives, of our lives more free lyrics |
5. _ Country House
And so the the story begins City dweller, successful fella Thought to himself oops I've got a lot of money I'm caught in a rat race terminally I'm a professional cynic but my heart's not in it I'm paying the price of living life at the limit Caught up in the centuries anxiety It preys on him, he's getting thin He lives in a house, a very big house in the country Watching afternoon repeats and the food he eats in the country He takes all manner of pills and piles up analyst bills in the country It's like an animal farm lot's of rural charm in the country He's got morning glory, life's a different story Everything going jackanory, in touch with his own mortality He's reading balzac, knocking back prozac It's a helping hand that makes you feel wonderfully bland Oh it's the centuries remedy For the faint at heart, a new start He lives in a house, a very big house in the country He's got a fog in his chest so he needs a lot of rest in the country He doesn't drink smoke laugh, takes herbal baths in the country Says she's come to no harm on an animal farm in the country In the country, in the country Blow, blow me out I am so sad, I don't know why Blow, blow me out I am so sad, I don't know why He lives in a house, a very big house in the country Watching afternoon repeats and the food he eats in the country He takes all manner of pills and piles up analyst bills in the country Oh, it's like an animal farm lot's of rural charm in the country He lives in a house, a very big house in the country He's got a fog in his chest so he needs a lot of rest in the country He doesn't drink smoke laugh, takes herbal baths in the country Says she's come to no harm on an animal farm in the country more free lyrics |
6. _ Stereotypes
The suburbs they are dreaming, they are a twinkle in her eye She's been feeling frisky since her husband said goodbye She wears a low cut t-shirt runs a little bmw She's most accommodating when she's in her lingerie Wife swapping is the future, you know that it would suit you Yes, they're stereotypes, there must be more to life All your life you are dreaming and then you stop dreaming From time to time you know you should be going on another bender The suburbs they are sleeping but she's dressing up tonight She likes a man in uniform he loves to wear it tight They are on the lover's sofa they are on the patio And when the fun is over watch themselves on video The neighbours may be staring, but they are just past caring Yes, they're stereotypes, there must be more to life All your life you are dreaming and then you stop dreaming From time to time you know you should be going on another bender Yes, they're must be more to life, they're stereotypes Wife swapping is the future, you know that it would suit you Yes, they're stereotypes, there must be more to life All your life you are dreaming and then you stop dreaming From time to time you know you should be going on another bender Yes, they're must be more to life, they're stereotypes All your life you are dreaming and then you stop dreaming From time to time you know you should go on another bender more free lyrics |

Ernold same awoke from the same dream in the same bed at the same time Looked in the same mirror made the same frown And felt the same way as he did every day Then ernold same caught the same train at the same station Sat in the same seat with the same nasty stain next to same old what's his name On his way to the same place to do the same thing again and again and again Poor old ernold same Oh ernold same, his world stays the same Today will always be tomorrow Poor ernold same, he's getting that feeling once again Nothing will change tomorrow more free lyrics |

10. _ Charmless Man
I met him in a crowded room Where people go to drink away their gloom He sat me down and so began The story of a charmless man Educated the expensive way He knows his claret from a beaujolais I think he'd like to have been Ronnie Kray But then nature didn't make him that way He thinks his educated airs those family shares Will protect him, that you will respect him He moves in circles of friends who just pretend that they like him He does the same to them and when you put it all together There's the model of a charmless man He knows the swingers and their cavalry Says he can get in anywhere for free I began to go a little cross eyed And from this charmless man I just had to hide He talks at speed he gets nose bleeds He doesn't see his days are tumbling down upon him Yet he tries so hard to please he's just so keen for you to listen But no-one is listening and when you put it all together There's the model of a charmless man He thinks his educated airs, those family shares Will protect him, that you will respect him Yet he tries so hard to please he's just so keen for you to listen But no-one is listening and when you put it all together There's the model of a charmless man more free lyrics |
