1. _ Yes, I Am Blind
Yes, i am blind
No, i can't see
The good things
Just the bad things, oh...
Yes, i am blind
No, i can't see
There must be something
Horribly wrong with me ?
God, come down
If you're really there
Well, you're the one who claims to care
Love's young dream
I'm the one who shopped you
I'm the one who stopped you
'cause in my sorry way i love you
Love's young dream
Are you sorry
For what you've done ?
Well, you're not the only one
And in my sorry way i love you
Yes, i am blind
But i do see
Evil people prosper
Over the likes of you and me
Always
God, come down
If you're really there
Well, you're the one who claims to care
Little lamb
On a hill
Run fast if you can
Good christians, they want to kill you
And your life has not even begun !
You're just like me, you're just like me
Oh, your life has not even begun !
You're just like me, you're just like me
And your life has not even begun !
You're just like me, just like me
And your life has not even begun !
You're just like me, you're just like, just like me
And your life has not even begun !

2. _ Suedehead
Why do you come here ?
And why do you hang around ?
I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry
Why do you come here
When you know it makes things hard for me ?
When you know, oh
Why do you come ?
Why do you telephone ? (hmm...)
And why send me silly notes ?
I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry
Why do you come here
When you know it makes things hard for me ?
When you know, oh
Why do you come ?
You had to sneak into my room
'just' to read my diary
"it was just to see, just to see"
(all the things you knew i'd written about you...)
Oh, so many illustrations
Oh, but
I'm so very sickened
Oh, i am so sickened now
Oh, it was a good lay, good lay
It was a good lay, good lay
It was a good lay, good lay
Oh
It was a good lay, good lay
It was a good lay, good lay
Oh, it was a good lay, good lay
Oh
Oh, it was a good lay
It was a good lay
Oh, a good lay
Oh, it was a good lay
Good lay, good lay
Oh
It was a good lay
It was a good lay

3. _ Interesting Drug
There are some bad people on the rise
There are some bad people on the rise
They're saving their own skins by
Ruining other people's lives
Bad, bad people on the rise
Young married couple in debt
- ever felt had ?
Young married couple in debt
- ever felt had ?
On a government scheme
Designed to kill your dream
Oh mum, oh dad
Once poor, always poor
La la la la la
Interesting drug
The one that you took
Tell the truth - it really helped you
An interesting drug
The one that you took
God, it really really helped you
You wonder why we're only half-ashamed ?
"because enough is too much!
...and look around ...
...can you blame us ? can you blame us ? "
On a government scheme
Designed to kill your dream
Oh mum, oh dad
Once poor, always poor
La la la la la
Interesting drug
The one that you took
Tell the truth - it really helped you
An interesting drug
The one that you took
God, it really really helped you
You wonder why we're only half-ashamed ?
"because enough is too much!
...and look around ...
...can you blame us ? can you blame us ? "

4. _ Lucky Lisp
When your gift unfurls
When your talent becomes apparent
I will roar from the stalls
I will gurgle from the circle
The saints smile shyly
Down on you
Oh, they couldn't get over
Your nine-leaf clover
Oh, lucky lisp was not wasted on you
Lucky lisp wasn't wasted on you
When your name's with the best
Will my name be on your guest list ?
And i will roar from the stalls
Ooh, the balcony fool was me, you fool
Jesus made this all for you, love (you, love)
He couldn't get over
Your grandma's omen
Oh, lucky lisp was not wasted on you
Lucky lisp wasn't wasted on you
Da-da-da...

5. _ Ouija Board, Ouija Board
Ouija board
Would you work for me ?
I have got to say hello
To an old friend
Ouija board, ouija board, ouija board
Would you work for me ?
I have got to get through
To a good friend
Well, she has now gone
From this unhappy planet
With all the carnivores
And the destructors of it
Ouija board, ouija board, ouija board
Would you help me ?
Because i still do feel
So horribly lonely
Would you, ouija board
Would you, ouija board
Would you help me ?
And i just can't find
My place in this world
She has now gone
From this unhappy planet
With all the carnivores
And the destructors of it
Oh hear my voice ("hear my voice")
Oh hear my voice ("hear my voice")
Hear my voice ("hear my voice")
Hear my voice ("hear my voice")
The table is rumbling ...
The table is rumbling
The glass is moving
"no, i was not pushing that time"
It spells : s.t.e.v.e.n
The table is rumbling
The glass is moving
"no, i was not pushing that time" :
P.u.s.h.o. double f.
Well, she has now gone
From this unhappy planet
With all the carnivores
And the destructors of it

6. _ Will Never Marry (edit)
I'm writing this to say
In a gentle way
Thank you - but no
I will live my life as i
Will undoubtedly die - alone
I'm writing this to say
In a gentle way
Thank you ...
I will live my life as i ... oh
For whether you stay
Or stray
An inbuilt guilt catches up with you
And as it comes around to your place
At 5 a.m.; wakes you up
And it laughs in your face

7. _ Hairdresser On Fire
Here is london, giddy of london
Is it home of the free -
Or what ?
Can you squeeze me
Into an empty page of your diary
And psychologically save me
I've got faith in you
I sense the power
Within the fingers
Within an hour the power
Could totally destroy me
(or, it could save my life)
Oh, here is london
"home of the brash, outrageous and free"
You are repressed
But you're remarkably dressed
Is it real ?
And you're always busy
Really busy
Busy, busy
Oh, hairdresser on fire
All around sloane square
And you're just so busy
Busy, busy
Busy scissors
Oh, hairdresser on fire
(only the other day)
Was a client, over-cautious
He made you nervous
And when he said
"i'm gonna sue you"
Oh, i really felt for you ...mmm...
So can you squeeze me
Into an empty page of your diary;
And supernaturally change me ?
Change me, change
Oh, here in london
"home of the brash, outrageous and free"
You are repressed
But you're remarkably dressed
Is it real ?
And you're always busy
Really busy
Busy clippers
Oh, hairdresser on fire
All around sloane square
And you're just too busy
To see me
Busy clippers
Oh, hairdresser on fire
(only the other day)

8. _ The Last Of The Famous International Playboys
Dear hero imprisoned
With all the new crimes that you are perfecting
Oh, i can't help quoting you
Because everything that you said rings true
And now in my cell
(well, i followed you)
And here's a list of who i slew
Reggie kray - do you know my name ?
Oh, don't say you don't
Please say you do, (oh) i am :
The last of the famous
International playboys
The last of the famous
International playboys
And in my cell
(well, i loved you)
And every man with a job to do
Ronnie kray - do you know my face ?
Oh, don't say you don't
Please say you do, (oh) i am :
The last of the famous
International playboys
The last of the famous
International playboys
In our lifetime those who kill
The newsworld hands them stardom
And these are the ways
On which i was raised
These are the ways
On which i was raised
I never wanted to kill
I am not naturally evil
Such things i do
Just to make myself
More attractive to you
Have i failed ?
Oh...
Oh, the last of the famous
International playboys
The last of the famous

9. _ Disappointed
Our unsleepable friend
Gets the message on an ill wind
"all your friends and your foes
Would rather die than have to touch you"
To say the least: i'm truly disappointed
Truly, truly, truly, oh...
Drank too much
And i said too much
And there's nowhere to go - but down
Young boy - i wanna help you
See these lines ? : truly disappointed
Truly, truly, truly, oh...
Don't talk to me, no
About people who are "nice"
'cause i have spent my whole life
In ruins
Because of people who are "nice"
Oh, this world may lack style, i know
Each bud must blossom and grow, oh...
Young girl, one day you will be old
But the thing is, i love you now
Mmm ...
This is the last song i will ever sing (yeah!)
No: i've changed my mind again (aaw...)
Goodnight
And thankyou

10. _ Everyday Is Like Sunday
Trudging slowly over wet sand
Back to the bench where your clothes were stolen
This is the coastal town
That they forgot to close down
Armageddon - come armageddon!
Come, armageddon! come!
Everyday is like sunday
Everyday is silent and grey
Hide on the promenade
Etch a postcard :
"how i dearly wish i was not here"
In the seaside town
...that they forgot to bomb
Come, come, come - nuclear bomb
Everyday is like sunday
Everyday is silent and grey
Trudging back over pebbles and sand
And a strange dust lands on your hands
(and on your face...)
(on your face ...)
(on your face ...)
(on your face ...)
Everyday is like sunday
"win yourself a cheap tray"
Share some greased tea with me
Everyday is silent and grey

11. _ Piccadilly Palare
Off the rails i was and
Off the rails
I was happy to stay
Get out of my way
On the rack i was
Easy meat, and a reasonably good buy
A reasonably good buy
The piccadilly palare
Was just silly slang
Between me and the boys in my gang
"so bona to vada. oh you
Your lovely eek and
Your lovely riah"
We plied an ancient trade
Where we threw all life's
Instructions away
Exchanging lies and digs (my way)
Cause in a belted coat
Oh, i secretly knew
That i hadn't a clue
(no, no. no, no, no. you can't get there that way. follow me...)
The piccadilly palare
Was just silly slang
Between me and the boys in my gang
Exchanging palare
You wouldn't understand
Good sons like you
Never do.
So why do you smile
When you think about earl's court ?
But you cry when you think of all
The battles you've fought (and lost) ?
It may all end tomorrow
Or it could go on forever
In which case i'm doomed
It could go on forever
In which case i'm doomed
Bona drag ...

12. _ He Knows I'd Love To See Him
He knows (he knows)
Or, i think he does
'cause when i lived
In the arse of the world
He knows, he knows
He knows i'd love
To see him happy
(or as close as is allowed)
Oh, 'cause when i lived
In the arse of the world ...
He knows, he knows
He knows i'd love
To see him happy
(or as close as possible)
As close as possible
As close as possible
As close as is allowed
Oh, my name still conjures up deadly deeds
And a bad taste in the mouth
And the police - they actually know me
They said :
"you're just another person in the world
You're just another fool with radical views
You're just another who has maddening views
You want to turn it on its head
By staying in bed !"
I said : "i know i do"
He doesn't know ...

13. _ November Spawned A Monster
Sleep on and dream of love
Because it's the closest you will
Get to love
Poor twisted child
So ugly, so ugly
Poor twisted child
Oh hug me, oh hug me
One november
Spawned a monster
In the shape of this child
Who later cried :
"but jesus made me, so
Jesus save me from
Pity, sympathy
And people discussing me"
A frame of useless limbs
What can make good
All the bad that's been done ?
And if the lights were out
Could you even bear
To kiss her full on the mouth
(or anywhere?)
Oh, poor twisted child
So ugly, so ugly
Poor twisted child
Oh hug me, oh hug me
One november
Spawned a monster
In the shape of this child
Who must remain
A hostage to kindness
And the wheels underneath her
A hostage to kindness
And the wheels underneath her
A symbol of where mad, mad lovers
Must pause and draw the line.
So sleep and dream of love
Because it's the closest
You will get to love
That november
Is a time
Which i must
Put out of my mind
Oh, one fine day
Let it be soon
She won't be rich or beautiful
But she'll be walking your streets
In the clothes that she went out
And chose for herself.

14. _ Such A Little Thing Makes Such A Big Difference
Such a little thing
Such a little thing
But the difference it made was grave
There you go
Wielding a bicycle chain
Oh, why won't you change ?
Change and be nicer ?
Such a little thing
A gentle tone of kindness
Or written words on paper
- can you write ?
How i love all of
The very simple things of life
(god's good air)
How i love all of
The very simple things of life
Such a little thing
A fumbling politeness
The difference saved me
Wielding a bicycle chain
Why won't you change ?
"i will not change
And i will not be nice"
Most peole keep their brains
Between their legs
(don't you find ?)
Leave me alone - i was only singing
Leave me alone because
I was only singing
Leave me alone - i was only singing
Leave me alone
You have just proved (again)
Most people keep their brains
Between their legs
