2. _ Peach
Chemical eats
Best part of the peach
You're always the way you are
What of that going to close you in
You got a gaping hole in your head
I'd let the birds nest there instead
Aha aha aha aha
A gun in your pocket
And hair in a locket
Around your neck
From the girl you once loved
Where is she now, you've gone crazy
You've got a gaping hole in your head
I'd let the birds nest there instead
Aha aha aha aha
You've got a gaping hole in your head
I'd let the birds nest there instead
I'd let the birds nest there instead
I'd let the birds nest there instead
I'd let the birds nest there instead
Aha aha aha aha

13. _ Pop Scene
A fervoured image of another world
Is nothing in particular now
And imitation comes naturally
But I never really stopped to think how
And everyone is a clever clone
A chrome coloured clone am I
So in the abscence of a way of life
Just repeat this again and again...and again
Hey, hey come out tonight
Hey, hey come out tonight
Popscene, all right
I'm leaving town to run away
Right into your twisted arms
No queues and there's no panic there
Just dangling your feet in the grass
My lack of natural luster now
Seems to be losing me friends
So in the abscence of a way of life
Just repeat this again and again...and again
Hey, hey come out tonight
Hey, hey come out tonight
Popscene!
Hey, hey come out tonight
Hey, hey come out tonight
Popscene, all right
Hey, hey come out tonight
Hey, hey come out tonight
Popscene!

15. _ Sunday, Sunday
Sunday, sunday here again in tidy attire
You read the colour supplement, the tv guide
You dream of protein on a plate
Regret you left it quite so late
To gather the family around the table
To eat enough sleep
Oh, the sunday sleep
Sunday, sunday here again a walk in the park
You meet an old soldier and talk of the past
He fought for us in two world wars and
The england he knew is no more
He sings the songs of praise but always falls asleep
For that sunday sleep
But he knows what he knows
Sunday, sunday
Oh, that sunday sleep....
Sunday, sunday here again in tidy attire
You read the colour supplement, the tv guide
You dream of protein on a plate, regret you left it quite so late
You gather the family around the table to eat enough to sleep
And mother's pride is your epithet
That extra slice you'll soon regret
So going out is your best bet, then bingo yourself to sleep
Oh that sunday sleep....

16. _ Starshaped
Wash with new soap, behind the collar
Keeps a clean mental state
Don't usually bother in cold weather
But still i'm getting into work late
And i don't need the practice
I've been making plans
(for the future)
Become an unconscious man
(all for the good)
I feel so unecessary
(we don't think so, you seem starshaped)
Have a couple at the weekend,
Keeps up camaraderie
And my mind boggles in the muddle,
At the possibilities
And i don't need the practice
I've been making plans
(for the future)
Become an unconscious man
(all for the good)
I feel so unecessary
(we don't think so, you seem starshaped)
And i've been making plans
(for the future)
Become an unconscious man
(all for the good)
I feel so unecessary
(we don't think so, you seem starshaped)
I wash with new soap behind the collar
Helps keep down the laundry
And now i bother in cold weather
Because it cleans me mentally
And i really don't need the practice
I've been making plans
(for the future)
Become an unconscious man
(all for the good)
I feel so unecessary
(we don't think so, you seem starshaped)
I've been making plans
(for the future)
Become an unconscious man
(all for the good)
I feel so unecessary
(we don't think so, you seem starshaped)

24. _ When The Cows Come Home
Good morning
Wake up
Wake up with purpose and polite efficiency
Stuff vitamin pills down your health guarantee
A kiss and cuddle with a lucky girl
You get fed and watered
Makes your hair curl
And when the day draws in
You put on a record
Put on something gentle
And wait for the cows to come home
Wake up a little voice says
To you eagerly
You mustn't let yourself sink financially
Don't listen to the accusation that you're tight
You could be the first man on your street to get it right
And when the day draws in
You going to go into waltz time
For once it was a good time
Wait for the cows to come home
All your life
Ha da de da da
Ha da de da da
Ha da da de da
Ha da de da da da
Wake up with purpose and polite efficiency
So you get fed and watered with good company
And when the day draws in
You go into waltz time
For once it's a good time
Wait for the cows to come home
All your life
