[X]He's a twentieth century boyletra de For Tomorrow
With his hands on the rails
Trying not to be sick again
And holding on for tomorrow
London ice cracks on a seamless line
He's hanging on for dear life
And so we hold each other tightly
And hold on for tomorrow, singing
La, la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
Holding on for tomorrow
She's a twentieth century girl
With the hands on the wheel
Trying not to make him sick again
Seeing what she can borrow
London's so nice back in your seamless rhymes
But we're lost on the Westway
And so we hold each other tightly
And we can wait until tomorrow, singing
La, la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
Holding on for tomorrow
We're trying not to be sick again
And holding on for tomorrow
She's a twentieth century girl
Holding on for dear life
And so we hold each other tightly
And hold on for tomorrow, singing
La, la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
Holding on for tomorrow
Jim stops and gets out the car (la, la, la-la-la)
Goes to a house in Emperor's Gate (la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la)
Through the door and to his room (la, la, la-la-la)
Then he puts the TV on (la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la)
Turns it off and makes some tea (la, la, la-la-la)
Says: Modern life, well, it's rubbish, I'm (la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la)
Holding on for tomorrow
Then Susan comes into the room (la, la, la-la-la)
She's a naughty girl with a lovely smile (la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la)
Says: Let's take a drive to Primrose Hill (la, la, la-la-la)
It's windy there and the view's so nice (la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la)
London ice can freeze your toes (la, la, la-la-la)
Like anyone, I suppose you're (la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la)
Holding on for tomorrow - AdvertVer letra 3:45
[X](Food processors are great!)letra de Advert
It's six o'clock on the dot and I'm half way home
I feel foul-mouthed as I stand and wait for the underground
And a nervous disposition doesn't agree with this
I need something to remind me that there's something else
You need a holiday
Somewhere in the sun
With all the people who are waiting
There never seems to be one
Say something, say something else
Say something, say something else
Advertisements are here for rapid persuasion
If you stare too long, you lose your appetite
A nervous disposition doesn't agree with this
You need fast relief from aches and stomach pains
I need a holiday
Somewhere in the sun
With all the people who are waiting
There never seems to be one
Say something, say something else
Say something, say something else
(One, two, three, four
Five, six, seven, eight
Nine, ten, eleven, twelve
Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen)
(You can have a holiday in the sun, yes
Ladies and gentlemen, one week only, on special offer)
You need a holiday
Somewhere in the sun
With all the people who are waiting
There never seems to be one
Say something, say something else, go on
Say something, say something else
Say something, say something else
Say something, say something else - Colin ZealVer letra 3:16
[X]Colin Zeal knows the value of mass appealletra de Colin Zeal
He's a pedestrian walker, he's a civil talker
He's an affable man with a plausible plan
Keeps his eye on the news, keeps his future in hand
(And then he)
Looks at his watch, he's on time yet again
Looks at his watch, he's on time yet again
He's pleased with himself
He's pleased with himself
He's so pleased with himself
While sitting in traffic, Colin thinks in automatic
He's an immaculate dresser, he's your common aggressor
Colin's the modern retard with a love of bombast
Keeps his eye on the news, doesn't dwell on the past
(And then he)
Looks at his watch, he's on time yet again
Looks at his watch, he's on time yet again
He's pleased with himself
He's pleased with himself
He's so pleased with himself
He's pleased with himself
He's pleased with himself
He's so pleased with himself
(And then he)
Looks at his watch, he's on time yet again
Looks at his watch, he's on time yet again
He's pleased with himself
He's pleased with himself
He's so pleased with himself
He's pleased with himself
He's pleased with himself
He's so pleased with himself
He's pleased with himself (well, he's a modern retard)
He's pleased with himself (he's terminal lard)
He's so pleased with himself (he's an affable man with a carotene tan)
He's pleased with himself ('cause Colin Zeal's ill)
He's pleased with himself (Colin Zeal's ill)
He's so pleased with himself (Colin Zeal's ill)
He's Colin Zeal and he knows - Pressure On JulianVer letra 3:31
[X]Only the magical transit childrenletra de Pressure On Julian
Sing-sing a lullaby, bah-bah-bah
Sitting on the pavement, sucking on a long straw
It's colourful, it's colourful, but it washes you out
Here is my violence and here is the excuse
I learnt it all, but only second-hand
Falling into walls, well, what is it with you?
You'd never know, never know, never know
We planned it all this way
We planned it all this way
Pressure on Julian
Swimming in yellow pissy water
Sand getting in between the ears
No blood in head in this bloody weather
Irate people with yellow tongues
Only the magical transit children
Sing-sing a lullaby, bah-bah-bah
Falling into walls, well, what is it with you?
You'd never know, never know, never know
We planned it all this way
We planned it all this way
Pressure on Julian
(There was pressure on Julian
Pushing trolleys in the car park
From B to A then back to B
Pressure on Julian, passing out
Precious little snout
The birds are singing at night
The birds are singing at night
Pressure on Julian)
We planned it all this way
We planned it all this way
Pressure on Julian - Star ShapedVer letra 3:26
[X]Wash with new soap behind the collarletra de Star Shaped
Keeps a clean mental state
Don't usually bother in cold weather
But still I'm getting into work late
And I don't need the practise
I've been making plans (for the future)
Become an unconcious man (all for the good)
I feel so unnecessary (we don't think so, you seem star shaped)
I have a couple at the weekend
Keeps up camaraderie
And my mind boggles in the muddle
At the possibilities
And I don't need the practice
I've been making plans (for the future)
Become an unconcious man (all for the good)
I feel so unnecessary (we don't think so, you seem star shaped)
And I've been making plans (for the future)
Become an unconscious man (all for the good)
I feel so unnecessary (we don't think so, you seem star shaped)
I wash with new soap behind the collar
Helps keep down the laundry
And now I bother in cold weather
Because it cleans me mentally
And I really don't need the practice
I've been making plans (for the future)
Become an unconscious man (all for the good)
I feel so unnecessary (we don't think so, you seem star shaped)
I've been making plans (for the future)
Become an unconscious man (all for the good)
I feel so unnecessary (we don't think so, you seem star shaped) - Blue JeansVer letra 3:54
[X]Air-cushioned solesletra de Blue Jeans
I bought them on the Portobello Road
On a Saturday
I stop and stare awhile
A common pastime when conversation
Goes astray
And don't think I'm walking out of this
She don't mind
Whatever I say, whatever I say
I don't really want to change a thing
I want to stay this way forever
Blue, blue jeans
I wear them every day, there's no particular
Reason to change
My thoughts are getting banal
I can't help it, but I won't pull out
Hair another day
And don't think I'm walking out of this
She don't mind
Whatever I say, whatever I say
I don't really want to change a thing
I want to stay this way forever
If you don't mind
Whatever I say, whatever I say
I don't really want to change a thing
I want to stay this way forever
You know it could be with you
And don't give up on me yet
Don't think I'm walking out of this
She don't mind
Whatever I say, whatever I say
I don't really want to change a thing
I want to stay this way forever
If you don't mind
Whatever I say, whatever I say
I don't really want to change a thing
I want to stay this way forever
You know it's to be with you - Chemical WorldVer letra 3:45
[X]The pay-me girl has had enough of the bleepsletra de Chemical World
So she takes the bus into the country
Although she got herself rosy cheeks
She didn't leave enough money to pay the rent
The landlord says that she's out in a week
What a shame, she was just getting comfy
Now she's eating chocolate to induce sleep
In a chemical world, it's very, very, very cheap
And I don't know about you
But they're putting the holes in, yes, yes
It's been a hell of a do
They've been putting the holes in, yes, yes
Peeping Thomas has a very nice view
Across the street at the exhibitionist
These townies, they never speak to you
Just stick together so they never get lonely
Feeling lead, feeling quite light-headed
Had to sit down and have some sugary tea
In chemical world, in a chemical world
It's very, very, very cheap
And I don't know about you
But they're putting the holes in, yes, yes
It's been a hell of a do
They've been putting the holes in, yes, yes, yes
I don't know about you
But they're putting the holes in, yes, yes
It's been a hell of a do
They've been putting the holes in, yes, yes
And now she's right out of view
They've been putting the holes in, yes, yes
Well, I don't know about you
They've been putting the holes in, yes, yes
Until you can see right through
Until you can see right through
Until you can see right through - IntermissionVer letra 2:29

- Sunday SundayVer letra 2:38
[X]Sunday, Sunday here again in tidy attireletra de Sunday Sunday
You read the colour supplement, the TV guide
You dream of protein on a plate
Regret you left it quite so late
To gather the family around the table
To eat enough to sleep
Oh, the Sunday sleep
Sunday, Sunday here again, a walk in the park
You meet an old soldier and talk of the past
He fought for us in two World Wars
Says the England he knew is now no more
He sings Songs Of Praise every week
But always falls asleep
For the Sunday sleep
But he know what he knows
(Sunday)
(Sunday)
La-la, la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la, la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la, la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la, la-la, la-la
Oh, the Sunday sleep
Sunday, Sunday here again in tidy attire
You read the colour supplement, the TV guide
You dream of protein on a plate
Regret you left it quite so late
To gather the family around the table
To eat enough to sleep
And mother's pride's your epithet
That extra slice you'll soon regret
So going out is your best bet
Then bingo yourself to sleep
Oh, that Sunday sleep - Oily WaterVer letra 5:00
[X]Lead in me and me in waterletra de Oily Water
Dangling in my world
I swallowed to much oily water
Now it's slipping down my spine
In a sense of self in decline
Growing fat on sound
It's only an early morning dream
And the whole world will be alright
My head hurts with suspicion
I'm coming home sometime
I've swallowed too much oily water
It's slipping down my spine
A sense of self in decline
I'm lying on my back
It's only an early morning dream
And the whole world will be alright - Miss AmericaVer letra 5:34
[X]Miss Americaletra de Miss America
Sits in the shower, she's
Plucking hours from the sky
Pick up the the telephone
Into another home
Don't ask me why
I don't mind
I don't mind at all
I love only you
She's a well wisher
And she wishes you well
Wish away, wish away
She's no jellybean
She's a jemima ho ho
Wish away, wish away
I don't mind
I don't mind at all
I love only you
Da, do, da, da, do
Da, do, da, da, do
Here is here and I am here
Where are you?
Far away, far away
She's no jellybean
She's a jemima ho ho
Wish away, wish away
I don't mind
I don't mind at all
I love only you
Da, do, da, da, do
Da, do, da, da, do
Da, do, da, da, do - Villa RosieVer letra 3:55
[X]Practise doesn't make perfect when you're interbreedingletra de Villa Rosie
Speaking drivel, can it get confused with heavy breathing?
Mixing drinks at water holes, get snarled up in the suburbs
Meandering through this and that, you are suspected of vagueness
When work is done, go to Villa Rosie every night
So tasty
Go form a queue at Villa Rosie every night
So tasty
Across the common every day, you come across the fine line
But wearing boots can prevent the leeches in the long grass
Eating between meals stifles the appetite, is it healthy?
Coming home, that nagging doubt there in your belly
And all the while at Villa Rosie every night
You're tasty
A sweeter life at Villa Rosie every night
So taste
All losers come to Villa Rosie every night
They're waiting
So form a queue at Villa Rosie every night
So tasty
Don't break your own back at Villa Rosie every night
We're tasting
A sweeter life at Villa Rosie every night
So tasty - CopingVer letra 3:24
[X]Primal, evil, what am I?letra de Coping
Tongue-tied 'til the day I die
There's no love made mermaids
It's just distraction or so they
And I'm too tired to care about it
Can't you see this in my face, my face
When I feel this strange
Can I go through this again?
When I feel this strange
Can I go through this again?
It's a sorry state you're getting in
The same excuse is wearing thin
There's no self control left in me
What was not will never will be
And I'm too tired to care about it
Can't you see this in my face, my face
When I feel this strange
Can I go through this again?
When I feel this strange
Can I go through this again?
And I'm too tired to care about it
Can't you see this in my face
The emphisis on coping
Can't you see this in my face, my face
When I feel this strange
Can I go through this again?
When I feel this strange
Can I go through this again?
When I feel this strange
Can I go through this again?
When I feel this strange
Can I go through this again?
(Can I be dreaming or am I just coping?)

[X]Kazoo, kazoo you are mineletra de Turn It Up
Kazoo, kazoo every time
Turn it up, turn it off, turn it in
Turn it up, turn it off, turn it in
Anyway you choose
Anyway you choose at all
Some days you get too much
Some days it all gets too much
Kazoo, kazoo you are mine
Why do you turn your back on me?
Turn it up, turn it off, turn it in
Turn it up, turn it off, turn it in
Turn it up, turn it off, turn it in
Turn it up, turn it off, turn it in
Anyway you choose
Anyway you choose at all
Some days you do too much
Some days it all gets too much
Kazoo, kazoo you are mine
Kazoo, kazoo every time
Turn it up, turn it off, turn it in
Turn it up, turn it off, turn it in
Turn it up, turn it off, turn it in

- ResignedVer letra 5:14
[X]I think too much on things I want too muchletra de Resigned
It makes me hateful and I say stupid things
Only you can fill my blank heart
And I'm resigned to that
I wish the Sun could just keep me warm
And I'm resigned to that
I'll forget to breathe someday
I never stop to think why - Commercial BreakVer letra 0:55
