1. Stereotypes

   Letra

   The suburbs they are dreaming, they're a twinkle in her eye She's been feeling frisky since her husband said goodbye She wears a low-cut t-shirt, runs a little B&B She's most accommodating when she's in her lingerie Wife swapping is your future You know that it would suit ya Yes, the stereotypes There must be more to life All your life you're dreaming and then you stop dreaming From time to time, you know you should be going on another bender The suburbs they are sleeping, but she's dressing up tonight She likes a man in uniform, he likes to wear it tight They're on the lover's sofa, they're on the patio And when the fun is over, watch themselves on video The neighbours may be staring But they are just not caring Yes, the stereotypes There must be more to life All your life you're dreaming and then you stop dreaming From time to time, you know you're going on another bender Yes, there must be more to life Than stereotypes Wife swapping is your future You know that it would suit ya Yes, the stereotypes There must be more to life All your life you're dreaming and then you stop dreaming From time to time, you know you should be going on another bender Yes, there must be more to life Than stereotypes All your life you're dreaming and then you stop dreaming From time to time, you know you should go on another bender Before you come to offend her

9. He Thought Of Cars

   Letra

   Moscow's still red, the young man's dead Gone to heaven instead The evening news says he was confused The motorways will all merge soon Lottery winner buys the moon They've come to save us The space invaders are here He thought of cars And where, where to drive them And who to drive there with But there, there was no-one, no-one There's panic at London Heathrow Everybody wants to go up into the blue But there's a ten year queue Columbia is in top gear It shouldn't snow this time of year America's shot she's gone and done the lot He thought of planes And where, where to fly to And who to fly there with But there, there was no-one, no-one He thought of cars And where, where to drive them And who to drive there with But there, there was no-one, no-one
10. It Could Be You

    Letra

    Churchill Got his lucky number Tomorrow there's another Could be me Could be you No silver spoon Sticky teeth, they rot too soon You've got to have the best tunes Or that's it You've blown it All we want is to be happy In our homes like happy families Be the man on the beach with the world at his feet Yes, it could be you The likely lads Are picking up the uglies Yesterday they were just puppies Beery slurs Now life's a blur Telly addicts You should see them at it Getting in a panic Will we be there Trafalgar Square? All we want is to be happy In our homes like happy families Be the man on the beach with the world at his feet Yes, it could be you Could be me Could be you Should be me Should be you But don't worry If it's not your lucky number 'Cos tomorrow there's another Could be you Could be me

12. Globe Alone

    Letra

    Who maddest one on the M1 Who hasn't stopped sucking his thumb Who very straight and never grins Who cares what car he's driving in He is because he saw it on a commercial break And if he doesn't get what he wants Then he get a headache 'Cos he needs it Wants it Almost Loves it He's here on his own On globe alone Here on his own Who joined health club to glisten Into hi-fi precision Who mobile phone gives him the bone Who very keen on Sharon Stone And then he says... Who eats at the new brasserie Who only ever gets merry Who wouldn't be seen at bedtime Without putting Calvin Klein's on
