1. Baggy Trousers2:45

   Letra

   Naughty boys in nasty schools Headmaster's breaking all the rules Having fun and playing fools Smashing up the woodwork tools All the teachers in the pub Passing round the ready-rub Trying not to think of when The lunchtime bell will ring again. Oh what fun we had But, did it really turn out bad All I learnt at school Was how to bend not break the rules Oh what fun we had But at the time it seemed so bad Trying different ways To make a difference to the days. The headmaster's had enough today All the kids have gone away Gone to fight with next door's school Every term, that is the rule Sits alone and bends his cane Same old backsides again All the small ones tell tall tales Walking home and squashing snails. Oh what fun we had But, did it really turn out bad All I learnt at school Was how to bend not break the rules Oh what fun we had But at the time it seemed so bad Trying different ways To make a difference to the days. Lots of girls and lots of boys Lots of smells and lots of noise Playing football in the park Kicking pushbikes after dark Baggy trousers, dirty shirt Pulling hair and eating dirt Teacher comes to break it up Back of the 'ead with a plastic cup. Oh what fun we had But, did it really turn out bad All I learnt at school Was how to bend not break the rules Oh what fun we had But at the time it seemed so bad Trying different ways To make a difference to the days. Baggy trousers, baggy trousers, baggy trousers Baggy trousers, baggy trousers, baggy trousers ...
2. Embarrassment3:13

   Letra

   Received a letter just the other day, Don't seem they wanna know you no more, They've laid it down given you their score, Within the first two lines it bluntly read. You're not to come and see us no more, Keep away from our door, Don't come 'round here no more What on earth did you do that for? Our aunt, she don't wanna know she says, What will the neighbours think they'll think, We don't that's what they'll think, we don't, But I will, 'cause I know they think I don't. Our uncle he don't wanna know he says, We are a disgrace to the human race he says, How can you show your face, When you're a disgrace to the human race? No committment, you're an embarrassment, Yes, an embarrassment, a living endorsement, The intention that you have booked, Was an intention that was overlooked. They say, stay away, Don't want you home today, Keep away from our door, Don't come 'round here no more. Our dad, he don't wanna know he says, This is a serious matter, Too late to reconsider, No one's gonna wanna know ya! Our mum, she don't wanna know, I'm feelin' twice as old, she says, Thought she had a head on her shoulder, 'Cause I'm feelin' twice as older, I'm feelin' twice as older. You're an embarrassment...
3. E.R.N.I.E.2:08

   Letra

   I am the bringer of your wishes, Your saviour from doing work, The washer of your dishes,and You'll still get you mid-day perk. Estate agent, Your mansion and pot of gold, All the home comforts, Before you're getting tired and old. One more try, Try to get what you've never had, Five more bob, For the whole world that can't be bad. We can't all win, Look it's happening, The future's looking not so bleak, A thousand winners every week. A thousand winners every week. So when you hear me coming, Along halls and up the stairs, Get the black teapot, In the cupboard, under chairs, Forget all your wives tales, Or forecasts and dividends, E.R.N.I.E. feels vibrations, Only pays out to trusting friends. One more try, Try to get what you've never had, Five more bob, For the whole world that can't be bad. We can't all win, Look it's happening, The future's looking not so bleak, A thousand winners every week. A thousand winners every week. Keep your hand on the bottle, And your eyes glued upon the set, When the score cards come up, Could be you for the big one next. Publicity, no thank you, On the front page of the currant bun, They think you stink, But in the pub you'll be number one. One more try, Try to get what you've never had, Five more bob, For the whole world that can't be bad. We can't all win, Look it's happening, The future's looking not so bleak, A thousand winners every week. A thousand winners every week. A thousand winners every week. A thousand winners every week.

5. Not Home Today2:30

   Letra

   She says he's gone away on a short holiday He won't be back for awhile The twelve from the bench stood up And hesitated he'll be leaving Right after this trial Circumstance, evidence who can cheat providence He wished he could go back again A flick of the wrist He wished that he missed Not guilty is all he can say Pass 'round the gossip now Let's wait and see Pass 'round the tray now Let's have some tea My boys haven't seen him He's been working away Don't bother (looking) (asking) He's not home today Not home today T-shirts and panties With free tickles and smudges In the end you'll believe what you feel When ten hands are aiming And no-one complaining In a sense it could be more real

8. Take It or Leave It3:26

   Letra

   How come he enjoys himself not me? (I don't know) How can she smile a good morning to me? How do they make a hard day's work easy? Tell me something I'll put it to the test Take hold of yourself and you will see How lucky we are to be free, Now you take for granted, Life and country. How come he jokes with friends but not me? How can she sing out of tune not me? How do they find time for kids on Sunday? I can't express uncalled for agress, You're in one-way traffic can't you see? Before a head-on crash steer free, When if it's too late, Don't come and cry to me. How come they get on with but not me? How can they walk arm-in-arm happily? How does that old boy dance down the street? Tell me something I'll put it to the test, Take hold of yourself and you will see, How lucky we are to be free, Now you take for granted, Life and country. How come we never get on you and me? How can we find out the remedy? How does that old lady's home look neat? How does that old lady's home look neat? How does that old lady's home look neat? ...
9. Shadow or Fear1:58
10. Disappear2:58

    Letra

    Walls signed with autographs, Ceilings full of echoed laughs, Something's disappear. Gurus on roller skates, Capital for swinging fetes The area is to be cleared. A stab in the back, the smoke and the black As it smoulders to its grave. Disappear with the fun and the fear Another chance to misbehave. Organ tinkling organ, Marriage planning children, Spinning, round and round. Rusty swings and roundabouts, Disco's full of layabouts, Nowhere to be found. A stab in the back, the smoke and the black As it smoulders to its grave. Disappear with the fun and the fear Another chance to misbehave. Come on then we'll go down there, Let's see the local ash tray, Let's see if we can be happy, We'll mess about just you and me, I must try to make it home before tea. Walls signed with autographs, Ceilings full of echoed laughs, Something's disappear. Gurus on roller skates, Capital for swinging fetes The area is to be cleared. A stab in the back, the smoke and the black As it smoulders to it's grave. Disappear with the fun and the fear Another chance to misbehave. A stab in the back, the smoke and the black As it smoulders to its grave. Disappear with the fun and the fear Another chance to misbehave.
11. Overdone3:45

    Letra

    Door locked open, door locked shut See you soon, hopefully not I've been and gone so many times Without a word, I've dropped no lines Just look forward, never back Selfish bastard, dicta-brat Please forgive me For the things I have done Don't feel ashamed If you're asked how's your son Living here and living there Lived at home but very rare To see your faces it would be A treasure locked in memory Do drop a line, say hello Dad I await your answer, for I also beg Please accept me From a baby I have come Pain, distress and heartache I have now overcome Running here and running there Often caught but never cared Been a-courting every year Champagne and caviar Understand this old man If you don't buy it, I'll still make you Understand, I will old man If you can't buy it, I'll still make you Dealing low and dealing high Money always just walked by Visible lines now I can see Was all this the cause of me A letter's come, she has replied Well, two years ago your mother died
12. In the Rain2:42

    Letra

    There is such confusion in my mind, To play your illusion is so unkind, I didn't know who you were this afternoon, You said that it didn't matter and I'll see you soon. Standing here in the rain, Maybe the weather will change again, Change again or stay the bleeding same. How I met you in the first place I'll never know, But now I think I know you you're telling me to go, ho, ho, You said you'd be back you told me to wait here just in case, But then you never arrive and I'm waiting outside your place. Standing here in the rain, Maybe the weather will change again, Change again or stay the bleeding same. Standing here in the rain, Maybe the weather will change again, Change again or stay the bleeding same. There is such confusion in my mind, To play your illusion is so unkind, I didn't know who you were this afternoon, You said you said that doesn't matter I'll see you soon. Standing here in the rain, Maybe the weather will change again, Change again or stay the bleeding same.
13. You Said2:35

    Letra

    You said you're leaving, well that's ok, You said you've had enough, what can I say? I suppose I'll be sad for a week or two, But in the end, it's the same for me and you, We'll both be sorry through and through. You said you're leaving, well that's ok, You said you've had enough, what can I say? I suppose I'll be sad for a week or two, But in the end, it's the same for me and you, We'll both be sorry through and through. Me and you. You must stop doing this, you've got to change, 'Cos you hold all the cards, you've got range, Every time you go away, I think of you. You said you're leaving, you said this, You said, you said that, You said you don't want to see me no more, You said you don't want me to come to your door, You said, you said, I suppose I'll be sad for a week or two, But in the end, it's the same for me and you, We'll both be sorry through and through. Yes you do. You must stop doing this, you've got to change, 'Cos you hold all the cards, you've got range, Every time you go away, I think of you.
