1. _ Our Frank
Our frank and open
Deep conversations
They get me nowhere
They bring me down, so
Give it a rest, won't you ?
Give me a cigarette
God give me patience
Just no more conversation
Oh, give us a drink
And make it quick
Or else i'm gonna be sick
Sick all over
Your frankly vulgar
Red pullover
Now see how the colours blend
Our frank and open
Deep conversations
They get me nowhere
They just bring me down, so
Give it a rest, won't you ?
Now will you just give over ?
The world may be ending
But look, i'm only human
So, give us a drink
And make it quick
Or else i'm gonna be sick
All over
Your frankly vulgar
Red pullover
Now see how the two colours blend, my friend
Won't somebody help ?
Won't somebody stop me
From thinking
From thinking all the time
About everything
Oh, somebody
From thinking all the time
So deeply, so bleakly ?
So bleakly all the time
About everything ? (who i am, how i ever got here)
Somebody stop me
From thinking
From thinking all the time
So bleakly, so bleakly
So bleakly all the time

2. _ The Harsh Truth Of The Camera Eye
Churchillian legs
Hair barely there
Mmm, the harsh truth of the camera eye
Your eyes signal pain
Because of the strain of smiling
The harsh truth of the camera eye
Telling you all
That you never wanted to know
Showing you what
You didn't want shown
My so friendly lens
It zooms into
"the inner you"
And it tells the harsh truth
And nothing but
Laugh with us all now, here
If you can
Then take the pictures home
And scream
Oh, ooh; telling you all
That you never wanted to know
Showing what
You didn't want shown
This photographer
He must have really had it in for you
"ooh, i don't want
To be judged anymore
I don't want to be judged
I would sooner be loved
I would sooner be
Just blindly loved ..."

3. _ Sing Your Life
Sing your life
Any fool can think of words that rhyme
Many others do
Why don't you ?
Do you want to ?
Oh...
Sing your life
Walk right up to the microphone
And name
All the things you love
All the things that you loathe
Oh, sing your life
The things that you love
And the things you loathe
Oh, sing your life
Oh, sing your life
La, la-la, la-la, sing your life
La, la-la, la-la, sing your life
Others sang your life
But now is a chance to shine
And have the pleasure of
Saying what you mean
Have the pleasure of
Meaning what you sing
Oh, make no mistake my friend
All of this will end
So sing it now (sing your life)
All the things you love (sing your life)
All the things you loathe
Oh, sing your life
The things that you love
And the things you loathe (sing your life)
Oh, sing oh...
Oh, sing oh...
La, la-la, la-la, sing your life
La, la-la, la-la, sing your life
Don't leave it all unsaid
Somewhere in the wasteland of your head, oh
Head, oh, head, oh, head, oh
And make no mistake, my friend
Your pointless life will end
But before you go
Can you look at the truth ?
You have a lovely singing voice
A lovely singing voice
And all of those
Who sing on-key
They stole the notion
From you and me
So, sing your life (sing your life)
Sing your life (sing your life)
Oh, sing your oh...
Oh, sing your
Sing your life
Sing your life
Sing your life
Oh, sing your oh...
(sing your life)
(sing your life)
Sing your life
(sing your life)

4. _ Asian Rut
Day oh so late
Strangely the sun still shone
Ooh asian boy
What are you on ?
Day oh so late
Strangely the sun still shone
Oh asian boy
What are drugs are you on ?
Oh... strange
Tooled-up asian boy
Has come to take revenge
For the cruel, cold killing
Of his very best friend
Tooled-up asian boy
Has come to avenge
The cruel, cold killing
Of his only friend
Ha! la, la, la, oh ...
There's peace through our school
It's so quiet in the hall
It's a strange sign for one
Of what's to come
Tough and cold and pale
Oh, they may just impale you on railings
Oh, english boys
It must be wrong
Three against one ?
Oh ...
Brakes slammed, and
His gun jammed, and
As far as i could tell
Brave asian boy
Was dealt a blow and fell
I'm just passing through here
On my way to somewhere civilised
And maybe i'll even arrive
Maybe i'll even arrive

5. _ Driving Your Girlfriend Home
I'm driving
Your girlfriend home
And she's saying
How she never chose you
"turn left", she says
I turn left
And she says
"so how did i end up
So deeply involved in
The very existence
I planned on avoiding ?"
And i can't answer
I'm driving
Your girlfriend home
And she's laughing
To stop herself crying
"drive on", she says
I drive on
And she says
"so how did i end up
Attached to this person
When his sense of humour
Gets gradually worser ?"
And i can't tell her
I'm parking
Outside her home
And we're shaking hands
Goodnight, so politely

6. _ Mute Witness
Your poor witness
Crying so loudly on the floor
Oh, well, she's only trying to tell you
What it was that she saw
She is only trying to tell you
What it was that she saw
Now see her standing on the table
With her small arms flailing
And you feel such compassion
In your soul for
Your mute witness
Still testing the strength
Of our patience
Oh, well she's only trying to tell you
What it was that she saw
She is only trying to tell you
What it was that she saw
Now see her pointing to the frisbee
With a memory so fuzzy
And her silent words
Describing the sight of last night
4 a.m. northside, clapham common
Oh, god, what was she doing there ?
Will she sketch the answer later ?
Well, i will ask her
"now dry your tears, my dear"
Now see her mime in time so nicely
It would all have been so clear
If only she had never volunteered
"your taxi is here, my dear"
La, la, la-la...

7. _ Tony The Pony
Still drinking on the corner
Just don't say i didn't warn you
Always nagging big brother
He's only looking out for you
Tony the pony
Tony the pony
You're still standing on the corner
Just don't say i didn't warn you
Old and jealous big brother
You had your time and you spent it
Crying
Now, tony the pony
Tony the pony
So, that's what they call you now ?
When you're free outside
So cold and hard and in control
And ...
There's a free ride on
Tony the pony
Oh, why do you always wanna stop me
From doing the things in life that make me happy ?
And when i'm outside with friends, laughing loudly
Why do you always wanna stop me ?
Oh, i would never
I would never
But you will carry the can for anyone
The free ride on
Gullible tony
You're drunker quicker
And you're sicker even quicker
For something heavy is gonna fall on you
Oh ...
And what do they call you now ?
When you're free outside
So cold and hard and in control
And, oh ... been a lark
There's a free ride on
Fucked-up tony
I will never say i told you so
Or how i knew that something bad
Would happen to you
I don't wanna say i told you so
Oh, but tony, i told you so !!!
I told you so

Found found found
Found found found
Someone who's worth it
In this murkiness
Someone who's never
Seeming to be scheming
(oh, but if i'd never found)
(oh, but if i'd never found)
Oh, but if i'd never found
I do believe that
The more you give your love
And i do believe that
The more you give your trust
The more you give your trust
And the more you give your love
The more you're bound to lose
The more you're bound to lose
(oh, but if i'd never found)
(oh, but if i'd never found)
Somebody who wants to be
Who wants to be with me ...
...all the time

9. _ King Leer
Your boyfriend, he
Went down on one knee
Well, could it be
He's only got one knee ?
I tried to surprise you
With vodka
Or tizer
I can't quite quite remember
But you didn't thank me
You didn't even thank me
Because you never do
Your boyfriend, he
Has the gift of the gab
Or, could it be
The gift of the grab ?
I tried to surprise you
I lay down beside you
And ... nothing much happened
And you didn't phone me
You didn't even phone me
Because it's not your style
To dial
Your boyfriend, he
Has displayed to me
More than just a
Real hint of cruelty
I tried to surprise you
I crept up behind you
With a homeless chihuahua
You "coo"-ed for an hour
You handed him back and said :
"you'll never guess - i'm bored now"

10. _ (i'm) The End Of The Family Line
With no complications
Fifteen generations
(of mine)
All honouring nature
Until i arrive
(with incredible style)
I'm the end of the line
The end of the family line
The end of the line
No baby pulled screaming
Out into this seething whirl
By chance or whim
(or even love ?)
Our family tree hacked into decline
And i'm spared the pain
Of ever saying
("goodbye")
I'm the end of the line
The end of the family line
The end of the line
The decision is mine
The end of the family line
The end of the line
I'm the end of the line
The end of the family line
The end of the ...

11. _ There's A Place In Hell For Me And My Friends
There is a place
Reserved
For me and my friends
And when we go
We all will go
So you see
I'm never alone
There is a place
With a bit more time
And a few more
Gentler words
And looking back
We will forgive
(we had no choice
We always did)
All that we hope
Is when we go
Our skin
And our blood
And our bones
Don't get in your way
Making you ill
The way they did
When we lived
Oh, there is a place
A place in hell
Reserved
For me and my friends
And if ever i
Just wanted to cry
Then i will
Because i can
