1. _ Strange Town
Found myself in a strange town
Though i've only been here for three weeks now
I've got blisters on my feet
Trying find a friend in oxford street
I bought an a to z guide book
Trying to find the clubs and ymcas
But when you ask in a strange town
They say don't know, don't care
And i've got to go, mate
They worry themselves about feeling low
They worry themselves about the dreadful snow
They all ignore me 'cause they don't know
I'm really a spaceman from those ufos
You've got to move in a straight line
You've got to walk and talk in four four time
You can't be weird in a strange town
You'll be betrayed by your accent and manners
You've got to wear the right clothes
Be careful not to pick or scratch your nose
You can't be nice in a strange town
'cause we don't know, don't care
And we got to go, man
Rush my money to the record shops
I stop off in a back street
Buy myself a snort
We got our own manifesto
Be kind to queers
And i'm so glad the revolution's here
It's nice and warm now!
I've finished with clubs where the music's loud
'cause i don't see a face in a single crowd
There's no one there
I look in the mirror
But i can't be seen
Just a thin, clean layer of mister sheen
Looking back at me
Oh, oh
Found myself in a strange town
Though i've only been here for three weeks now
I've got blisters on my feet
Trying find a friend in oxford street
I bought an a to z guide book
Trying to find the clubs and ymcas
They say don't know, don't care
And i've got to go, mate
They worry themselves about feeling low
They worry themselves about the dreadful snow
They all ignore me 'cause they don't know
I'm really a spaceman from those ufos
Strange town
Break it up
Burn it down, shake it up
Break it up

2. _ Carnaby Street
Take a look at the great street
It don't seem the same
Remember how great it should be
Shops are full of fashion
People told what they want
The street that was a part of the
British monarchy
British monarchy
Who wants cafgans and all that
We don't need them now
Why should we accept the change
And buy clothes of today
Kids repel the change and
Bring back the street
Shops filled by whole nations
Carnaby street
Carnaby street
The street is a mirror
For our country
Reflects the rise and fall
Of our nation
The street that was a legend
Is a mockery
A part of the british tradition
Gone down the drain
You don't need no glass ball
To see it's faults
Take a walk along that street
And you'll see what i mean
Carnaby street
Carnaby street
(not what it used to be)
Carnaby street
(not what it used to be)

3. _ News Of The World
Power, pop!
Read about the things that happen throughout the world
Don't be believe in everything you see or hear
The neighbours talk day in day out about the goings on
They tell us what they want - they don't give an inch
Look at the pictures taken by the cameras they cannot lie
The truth is in what you see - not what you read
Little men tapping things out - points of view
Remember their views are not the gospel truth
Don't believe it all
Find out for yourself
Check before you spread
News of the world
Never doubt
Never ask
Never moan
Never search
Never find
Never know
Each morning our key to the world comes through the door
More than often its just a comic, not much more
Don't take it too serious - not many do
Read between the lines and you'll find the truth
Read all about it, read all about it - news of the world

4. _ Funeral Pyre
Down in amongst the streets tonight
Books will burn, people laugh and cry in their turmoil
(turmoil turns rejoiceful)
Shed your fears and lose your guilt
Tonight we burn responsibility in the fire
We'll watch the flames grow higher!
But if you get too burnt, you can't come back home
And as i was standing by the edge
I could see the faces of those led pissing theirselves laughing
(and the flames grew)
Their mad eyes buldged their flushed faces said
The weak get crushed as the strong grow stronger
We feast on flesh and drink on blood
Live by fear and dispise love in a crises
(what with today's high prices)
Bring some paper and bring some wood
Bring what's left of all your love for the fire
We'll watch the flames grow higher!
But if you get too burnt - you can't come back home
And as i was standing by the edge
I could see the faces of those led pissing theirselves laughing
(and the flames grew)
Their mad eyes buldged their flushed faces said
The weak get crushed as the strong grow stronger
In the funeral pyre
We'll watch the flames grow higher
But if you get too burnt - you can't come back home
(well i feel so old, when i feel so young
Well i just can't grow up to meet the demands)

5. _ Absolute Beginners
In echoed steps i walked across an empty dream
I looked across this world, there was no one to be seen
This empty feeling turned and quietly walked away
I saw no warmth in life - no love was in my eyes
I stared a century thinking this will never change
As i hesitated, time rushed onwards without me
Too scared to break the spell too small to take a fall
But the absolute luck is - love is in our hearts!
I lost some hours thinking of it
I need the strength to go and get what i want
I lost a lifetime thinking of it
An' lost an era daydreaming like i do
In echoed steps you walk across an empty dream
But look around this world, there's millions to be seen
Come see the tyrants panic see their crumbling empires fall
Then tell 'em we don't fight for fools -
'cos love is in our hearts!
I lost some hours thinking of it
I need the strength to go and get what i want
I lost a lifetime thinking of it
An' lost an era daydreaming like i do
You can lose some hours thinking of it
You need the strength to go and get what you want
You can lose a lifetime thinking of it
And lose an era daydreaming like i do

6. _ The Bitterest Pill
In your white lace and your wedding bells
You look the picture of contented new wealth
But from the on-looking fool who believed your lies
I wish this grave would open up and swallow me alive
For the bitterest pill is hard to swallow
The love i gave hangs in sad coloured, mocking shadows
When the wheel of fortune broke, you fell to me
Out of grey skies to change my misery
The vacant spot, your beating heart took its place
But now i watch smoke leave my lips and fill an empty room
For the bitterest pill is hard to swallow
The love i gave hangs in sad coloured, mocking shadows
The bitterest pill is mine to take
If i took if for a hundred years, i couldn't feel any more hate
Now autumn's breeze blows summer's leaves through my life
Twisted and broken dawn, no days with sunlight
The dying spark, you left your mark on me
The promise of your kiss, but with someone else
For the bitterest pill is mine to swallow
The love i gave hangs in sad coloured, mocking shadows
The bitterest pill is mine to take
If i took if for a hundred years, i couldn't feel anymore ill!

7. _ Beat Surrender
Beat surrender -
Come on boy, come on girl
Succumb to the beat surrender
All the things that i care about (are packed into one punch)
All the things that i'm not sure about (are sorted out at once)
And as it was in the beginning, so shall it be in the end
That bullshit is bullshit, it just goes by different names
All the things that i shout about (but never act upon)
All the courage and the dreams that i have
(but seem to wait so long)
My doubt is cast aside, watch phonies run to hide
The dignified don't even enter in the game
And if you feel there's no passion
No quality sensation
Seize the young determination
Show the fakers you ain't foolin'
You'll see me come runnin'
To the sound of your strummin'
Fill my heart with joy and gladness
I've lived too long in shadows of sadness

8. _ When You're Young
Life is timeless, days are long when you're young
You used to fall in love with everyone
Any guitar and any bass drum
Life is a drink and you get drunk when you're young
Life is new and there's things to be done
You can't wait to be grown up
Acceptance into the capital world
You pull on some weed, then you pull on someone when you're young
But you find out life isn't like that
It's so hard to comprehend
Why you set up your dreams to have them smashed in the end
But you don't mind you've got time on your side
And they're never gonna make you stand in line
You're just waiting for the right time
You're fearless and brave - you can't be stopped when you're young
You swear you're never ever gonna work for someone
No corporations for the new age sons
Tears of rage roll down your face
But still you say "it's fun"
And you find out life isn't like that
It's so hard to understand
Why the world is your oyster but your future's a clam
It's got you in its grip before your born
It's done with the use of a dice and a board
They let you think you're king but you're really a pawn
You're fearless and brave - you can't be stopped when you're young
You used to fall in love with everyone
Any guitar and any bass drum
