1. _ The Ordinary Boys
Ordinary boys, happy knowing nothing
Happy being no-one but themselves
Ordinary girls, supermarket clothes
Who think it's very clever to be cruel to you
For you were so different
You stood all alone
And you knew
That it had to be so
Avoiding ordinary boys
Happy going nowhere, just around here
In their rattling cars
Ordinary girls
Never seeing further
Than the cold, small streets
That trap them
But you were so different
You had to say no
When those empty fools
Tried to change you, and claim you
For the lair of their ordinary world
Where they feel so lucky
So lucky, so lucky
With their lives laid out before them
They are lucky
So lucky, so lucky
So lucky, so ...

2. _ I Don't Mind If You Forget Me
I don't mind
I don't mind if you forget me
Having learned my lesson
I never left an impression on anyone
So now you send me your hardened 'regards'
When once you'd send me 'love'
Sincerely i must tell you
Your mild 'best wishes'
They make me suspicious
I don't mind
I don't mind if you forget me
Having learned my lesson
I never left an impression on anyone
The pressure to change, to move on
Was strange
And very strong
So this is why i tell you
I really do understand
Bye bye
I don't mind if you forget me
No no no no no no no
You can only be strong for so long
It may not eat you but it will beat you
So this is why i tell you
I really don't understand
This time
Rejection is one thing
But rejection from a fool
Is cruel
Rejection is one thing
But rejection from a fool
Is cruel
And i don't mind if you forget me
I don't mind if you forget me

3. _ Little Man, What Now ?
An afternoon nostalgia
Television show
You spoke in silhouette
(but they couldn't name you)
Though the panel were very polite to you
Oh, but i remembered you
Friday nights, 1969
Atv - you murdered every line
Too old to be a child star
Too young to take leads
Four seasons passed
And they axed you
Nervous juvenile
(won't smile!)
What became of you ?
Did that swift eclipse
Torture you ?
A star at eighteen
And then - suddenly gone
Down to a few lines
In the back page
Of a faded annual
Oh, but i remembered you
I remembered you

4. _ Bengali In Platforms
Bengali, bengali
Bengali, bengali
No no no
He does not want to depress you
Oh no no no no no
He only wants to impress you
Oh..
Bengali in platforms
He only wants to embrace your culture
And to be your friend forever
Forever
Bengali, bengali
Bengali, bengali
Oh, shelve your western plans
And understand
That life is hard enough when you belong here
A silver-studded rim that glistens
And an ankle-star that ... blinds me
A lemon sole so very high
Which only reminds me; to tell you
Break the news gently
Break the news to him gently
"shelve your plans; shelve your plans, shelve them"
Bengali, bengali
It's the touchy march of time that binds you
Don't blame me
Don't hate me
Just because i'm the one to tell you
That life is hard enough when you belong here
That life is hard enough when you belong here
Oh...
Shelve your western plans
Oh...
Shelve your western plans
'cause life is hard enough when you belong
Life is hard enough when you belong here
Oh...
Shelve your western plans
Oh...
Shelve your best friends
'cause life is hard when you belong here
Oh...
Life is hard enough when you belong

5. _ 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)

6. _ Margaret On The Guillotine
The kind people
Have a wonderful dream
Margaret on the guillotine
Cause people like you
Make me feel so tired
When will you die ?
When will you die ?
When will you die ?
When will you die ?
When will you die ?
And people like you
Make me feel so old inside
Please die
And kind people
Do not shelter this dream
Make it real
Make the dream real
Make the dream real
Make it real
Make the dream real
Make it real

7. _ Alsatian Cousin
Were you and he lovers ?
And would you say so if you were ?
On a forecourt
On a friday
Passing my way
Oh...
Were you and he lovers ?
And if you were, then say that you were!
On a groundsheet
Under canvas
With your tent-flap
Open wide
A note upon his desk
"p.s. bring me home and have me!"
Leather elbows on a tweed coat
-oh!-
Is that the best you can do ?
So came his reply :
"but on the desk is where i want you!"
So i ask (even though i know):
Were you and he lovers ?

8. _ Late Night, Maudlin Street
Winter coming
Winter push on
(push on)
Oh, winter push on
Winter is so long
Winter moves on
The last night on maudlin street
Goodbye house, goodbye stairs
I was born here
And i was raised here, and
...i took some stick here
Love at first sight
It may sound trite
But it's true, you know
I could list the detail
Of everything you ever wore or said
Or how you stood the day
As we spent the last night
On maudlin street
"goodbye house, forever!"
I never stole a happy hour
Around here
Where the world's ugliest boy
Became what you see
Here i am - the ugliest man
Oh, the last night on maudlin street
Truly i do love you
Oh, truly i do love you
When i sleep
With that picture of you framed beside my bed
Oh, it's childish and it's silly
But i think it's you in my room, by the bed
(...yes, i told you it was silly...)
And i know
I took strange pills
But i never meant to hurt you
Oh, truly i love you
Came home late one night
Everyone had gone to bed
But, you know
No-one stays up for you
I had sixteen stitches
All around my head
Oh, the last bus i missed to maudlin street
So he drove me home in the van
Complaining, "women only like me for my mind..."
Don't leave your torch behind
A powercut ahead; 1972, you know
And so we crept through the park
No, i cannot steal a pair of jeans off a clothesline
For you
But you ... without clothes
Oh, i could not keep a straight face
Me - without clothes ?
Well, a nation turns its back and gags...
I'm packed
I am moving house
A half-life disappears today
With "every hand waves me on"
(secretly wishing me gone)
Well, i will be soon
Ooh, i will be soon
I will be soon
I will be soon
Will be soon, i will be soon
Mmm ... i will be soon, i will be soon
There were bad times on maudlin street
They took you away in a police car
Inspector - don't you know ?
Don't you care ?
Don't you know - about love ?
Your gran died
And your mother died
On maudlin street
In pain, and ashamed
With never time to say
Those special things ... oh
I took the key from maudlin street
Well, it's only bricks and mortar !
Oh, oh, truly i love you
Oh, wherever you are
Wherever you are
Wherever you are
I hope you're singing now
Oh, i do hope
I hope you're singing now
Oh ...

9. _ Break Up The Family
The strange logic in your clumsiest line
(it stayed, it stayed) it stayed emblazoned on my mind
You say, break up the family
And let's begin to live our lives
I want to see all my friends tonight
It wasn't youth, it wasn't life
Born old, sadly wise
Resigned (well, we were)
To ending our lives
I'm so glad to grow older
To move away from those awful times
I want to see all my friends tonight
Yes, you found love, but you weren't
At peace with your life
Home late, full of hate
Despise the ties that bind
I'm so glad to grow older
To move away from those younger years
I'm in love for the first time
And i don't feel bad
Let me see all my old friends
Let me put my arms around them
Cause i really do love them
Now does that sound mad ?
Captain of games, solid framed
I stood on the touchline
Hailstones, driven home
In a car - no brakes ? i don't mind
I'm so glad to grow older
To move away from those darker years
Oh, i'm in love for the first time
And i don't feel bad
So wish me luck my friends
Goodbye
So wish me luck again
Goodbye
Wish me luck my friends
Goodbye
Mmm... wish me luck, my friends
Goodbye
Ahh...
Ahh...

10. _ 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

11. _ 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

12. _ Angel, Angel, Down We Go Together
Angel, angel
Don't take your life tonight
I know they take
And that they take in turn
And they give you nothing real
For yourself in return
But when they've used you
And they've broken you
And they've wasted all your money
And cast your shell aside
And when they've bought you
And they've sold you
And they've billed you for the pleasure
And they've made your parents cry
I will be here
Oh, believe me
I will be here
...believe me
Angel, don't take your life
Some people have got no pride
They do not understand
The urgency of life
But i love you more than life
I love you more than life
I love you more than life
I love you more than life
