1. _ Oxymoron
Shiny button-down clown suit
Oxymoron
Expand the simplest of chores
Oxymoron
Mr. Constant consternation
And his declaration of war
Makes a fist out of demands
With his plasticene hands
Matey makes a big big deal
Oxymoron
And Matey makes a big big meal
Oxymoron
Boasts of a conscience so big
It means his uniform won't fit
Cooking books and punching drunks
Working for the real crooks
The good cop
Oxymoron
The good cop
Oxymoron
I don't believe in the good cop
At the ticket inspector 's party
Oxymoron
Prison guards eye store detectives
Oxymoron
All good fighters of crime
Same repeated chat-up line:
'Are you well tooled up?
Come and have a go if you think
You're hard enough'
Watch them tighten their straps
Oxymoron
Yes sir I switched on the taps
Oxymoron
Heads to crack, eyes to black
Beaurocrats will cover your tracks
Here's how dictatorships begin:
Fools obey without thinking
The good cop
Oxymoron
I don't believe in the good cop

2. _ This Dress Kills
I'm Judas/Judy, panicking, got everything and nothing
Happy birthday Mr. president! I'm here to call your bluff!
From te top of the world I'm gonna jump! Jump! Jump!
I'm so perfectly imperfect and I did it for your love
I'm as small as thumbelina. sugar fairy on the cake
Because the thinnest of excuses leave the bitterest taste
Brittle-bones, Barbie-cued, take a piece of my heart
When you know you haven't got it, does it make you feel so good?
This dress is killing me!
Frockanoia
I won and then I lost and then I won and then I lost
And now I know how much a pound of flesh can cost
And the question isn't if, it's definite when
Do I throw my achy heart into the gutter again?
This party isn't over' til the thin lady sings
Critics dressed as waiters are waiting in the wings
Where they'll gather like vultures to pick at the bones
I won and then I lost and I got nothing at all
This dress is killing me!
Frockanoia

3. _ This Girl
This girl
She didn't turn out
Quite the way she was supposed to do
Ooh
This girl
She got bored of all the things
They brought her up to say
She newer meant them anyway
This girl
She got caught out
On the multi-storey car park
Throwing goodbye notes
Wrapped up in bricks
When they put her in the car
She said 'Jesus made me do it'
But all the priest in all the world
Couldn't save this girl
This girl
Content with all the bloody noses
Scabby knees
You get from fighting wars like these
Running past the tidy houses
Pulling faces
This material world
Couldn't temp this girl
Now she enertains the world
And all it's mates
But she doesn't fit in
Everybody thinks this girl is great
But she's lacing all the party drinks
With venom from a poison pen
This girl
She made a habit of habitually lying
Does everybody's head in
She knows what happens
When the next stop that you see
It's not the one
That everyone expected to be
This girl
Happy families
Round the supermarket check-out
She loves to be the odd one out
The party girl who stayed upstair
Playing musical chairs
La-la, la-la-la
She doesn't care
This girl
Now she enertains the world
And all it's mates
But she doesn't fit in
Everybody thinks this girl is great
But she's lacing all the party drinks
With venom from a poison pen
This girl
She didn't turn out
Quite the way she was supposed to do
Ooh

4. _ Never Let Go
These red azaels
Never grew so tall
This well of loneliness
Could rise and drown us all
There is no right or wrong
Thigs fall as they do
Pulled by the sun & the moon
Forever comes too soon
People come/people go
But still I'll never let go
Ideas come/Ideas go
Still I'll never let go
I've fallen for the girl
Been mad about the boy
When you've kissed an angel
There's just no choice
There is no right or wrong
Thigs fall as they do
Pulled by the sun & the moon
Forever comes too soon
People come/people go
But still I'll never let go
Ideas come/Ideas go
Still I'll never let go
Lying with the squares
On the kitchen floor
Watch the clock's pointing fingers
They've seen it all before
There is no right or wrong
Thigs fall as they do
Pulled by the sun & the moon
Forever comes too soon
People come/people go
But still I'll never let go
Ideas come/Ideas go
Still I'll never let go

6. _ Just Look At Me Now
Don't tell me lies
I don't need fingerprints, so
Button up your coat
Before you catch your death of cold
Throw away your books
They're building windmills
Three miles up
Out on the moors
There's an empire waiting
Look at me now!
I can take on the world - and win
Look at me now!
Towny go home
Whisper in the tower of babel
But I have all I need
I have shoes with sharpened soles
And every simple joy
We make it all so complicated
When all you need to know
Is putting the meat
Around your bones
Look at me now!
I can take on the world - and win
Look at me now!
Just look at me now
Both feet on the ground
My sights are fixed on the horizon

7. _ The Morning After
Unholy sunday - a winter's day (mine is the kingdom)
Church bells ring a million miles away (forever and ever)
Nowhere to go, nothing to do
But stay here warm in bed with you
The morning after the night before
Sunday after sunday
The morning after the night before
Ice on the windows, let's thaw it away (it's a hell of a winter)
So much time to waste, so much to say (peppered with laughter)
Nowhere to go, nothing to do
But move justalittlebitcloser to you
The morning after the night before
Sunday after sunday
The morning after the night before
Plasticine people we could be (do what you want to)
Squezzing together for now or forever (forever or never)
Nowhere to go, nothing to do
But roll up into a ball with you
The morning after the night before

8. _ Hey! You! Outside Now!
One year later
This queue never moved
I've got well dressed slugs
Crawling over my shoes
And all these bouncers
Pushing me around
Well I'll huff and I'll puff
I'll blow your house down
In these hard times
No money for the arts
No money for a bonus
And my car won't start
The taxman cometh
And the landlord too
Now something better chance
I've got things to do
Scratched record carries on forever
Last waltz carries on forever
Prize fighter carries on forever
Too much bowing
To the sacred cow
Hey! You! Outside! Now!
Two years later
And the tap still drips
This pain in my back
Means I still can't sleep
They're ripping up the longside
For plastic seats
We're ripping off the gas
Just to make ends meet
Half the population
Living off crime
I'm talking 'bout the fuckers
On question time
Pop fops on horse
Haven't got a clue
Now something better change
I've got things to do
Scratched record carries on forever
Last waltz carries on forever
Prize fighter carries on forever
Too much bowing
To the sacred cow
Hey! You! Outside! Now!
Three years later
And I'm still in this queue
Now somethnig better change
I've got things to do
Too much bowing
To the sacred cow
Hey! You! Outside! Now!

9. _ Waiting, Shouting
Just take a ticket
It takes you nowhere
They saw us coming
It's them and us here
Just keep your voice down
And light another
I am a patient girl
I wait, I wait, I wait
It's not your money
Don't call me stupid!
Not big or clever
Mean can mean awkward
It's Wigan Pier here
I'm not for jumping
See candid camera
Sees next to nothing
You keep me waiting ...
I keep on shouting!
My letterbox knows
Bangers and bad news
Good morning campers -
Sees queues & queues & queues
They spell my name wrong
It's not far art's sake
And every truth told
Black mark on black mark
You love to chew on
This bread and butter
You crunch your numbers
And push your papers
Pile-up on pile-up
Malicious bad turns
I'll light another
Slow fuses, slow burn
You keep me waiting ...
I keep on shouting!

10. _ Not The Girl I Used To Be
Wondering
Have I given up dreaming?
Come down from ceiling
I won't do that again
Thinking
My misspent history
Mistakes to teach me
I won't do that again
Dreams I kept as a child
Kept me quiet and hypnotised
Cooked away my valentines
Served myself up every night
Couldn't see me for the trees
And all that hallmark poetry
I'm not the girl, I used to be
Wondering
Have I given up dreaming?
Come down from ceiling
I won't do that again
Thinking
My misspent history
Mistakes to teach me
I won't do that again
Trying to break the family ties
Chocolate hearts and tacky lies
Heard a thousand crappy lines
And I believed them every time
So I beg to disagree
Love's not taking all of me
I'm not the girl I used to be
