- Baggy TrousersVer letra 2:45
[X]Naughty boys in nasty schoolsletra de Baggy Trousers
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
... - EmbarrassmentVer letra 3:13
Composición: Lee , Mike Barson[X]Received a letter just the other day,letra de Embarrassment
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... - E.R.N.I.E.Ver letra 2:08
Composición: Chris Foreman, Graham McPherson[X]I am the bringer of your wishes,letra de E.R.N.I.E.
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. - Close EscapeVer letra 3:29
Composición: Chris Foreman, Lee[X]That was a close escapeletra de Close Escape
Have to get a new hobby to relate
Something less conspicuous
Won't take up too much time
Something less sadistic
For what I've got in mind
I won't be too persistent
'Cause I'm not that way inclined
C that's the one for me
Look, have you got any titties free
What you do is find 5p
415-1683 hello Miss Collins you'll not know me
I'm in the undies business see
Please, please can you tell me
The size, how far from the knee
Oh dear, dear me, luck is running thine
I'll take another name, I might have a win
Got two more coins, I hope no-one thinks I'm dim
C that's the one for me
Look and you're......... free
See if she'll speak to me
Hands are shaking eyes can't see
Having trouble finding 5p
217-1983 hello Miss Dickens you'll not know me
I'm in the undies business see
Don't worry, that's nowt, here we go again
Oi! no peeping, someone must take the hint
Oh dear, dear me, luck is running thin
So please, please can you tell me
The tits do feel real good to me
In a naked mood
Try to grin and bear with me
Please don't think me rude
I only hear, don't want to see
C that's the one for me
That was quick, too quick for me
Of that I can see
What's your name, Mildred, well buggar me
Sugar and milk in my tea
No harm could be, well I'll see
What's your hobby, just the same as me
See you soon for tea
I'll give it one last chance
I think you'll all agree
I'm getting no game here, only lost 5p
I'll flicker through the pages, nothing interests me
I'll ring another number, make sure it's a she
Here we go again, I'll give it third degree
No harm's been done, yes I'm sure you'll all agree
I'll take another name, I might have a win - Not Home TodayVer letra 2:30
Composición: Graham McPherson, Mike Barson[X]She says he's gone away on a short holidayletra de Not Home Today
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 - On the Beat PeteVer letra 3:05
Composición: Lee , Madness[X]Up I rush off to workletra de On the Beat Pete
Hello Fred you look half dead and
Are you coming are you going
I could never do a double shift
(Allo Fred get some bed Fred)
Hello Steve long time no see
I like the Stones still on the thieve
Bet you ain't half seen some time
In your short-lived life of crime
(By the way, have you got the time?)
On the beat Pete
Wiv me size ten feet
I wander up and down the town
For me that's a treat
The beauties of the city and
Everything's sweet
For me that's a treat
'Cos I'm on the beat Pete
Swing my truncheon merrily
Try to teach the blind to see
Move a lady for a seat
Tourist find a sight to see
Mingle with the crowd
I wonder if they're proud
Yes, that would be a treat
'Cos I'm on the beat Pete... beat Pete
Hello Snowball, you still drunk?
Here have a smoke, anyone for lunch?
A printed person of last week's times
Seen a lot of stars and moonshine
(Spare you a dime?)
On the beat Pete
Wiv me size ten feet
I wander up and down the town
For me that's a treat
The beauties of the city and
Everything's sweet
For me that's a treat
'Cos I'm on the beat Pete
Swing my truncheon merrily
Try to teach the blind to see
Move a lady for a seat
Tourist find a sight to see
Mingle with the crowd
I wonder if they're proud
Yes, that would be a treat
'Cos I'm on the beat Pete... beat Pete
Hello Bun been down the oven?
What's the rate for a single person?
Is it good, is it sad?
You look unhappy it must be bad
Hello May been a busy lady
All work and no time for play
Still it's the life you chose I suppose
Good luck to you come what may!
Skip-a-di-do-da-days!
On the beat Pete
Wiv me size ten feet
I wander up and down the town
For me that's a treat
The beauties of the city and
Everything's sweet
For me that's a treat
'Cos I'm on the beat Pete
Swing my truncheon merrily
Try to teach the blind to see
Move a lady for a seat
Tourist find a sight to see
Mingle with the crowd
I wonder if they're proud
Yes, that would be a treat
'Cos I'm on the beat Pete... beat Pete

Yeah!! - Take It or Leave ItVer letra 3:26
Composición: Lee , Mike Barson[X]How come he enjoys himself not me? (I don't know)letra de Take It or Leave It
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?
... - Shadow or Fear 1:58
Composición: Graham McPherson, Mike Barson - DisappearVer letra 2:58
Composición: Graham McPherson, Mark Bedford[X]Walls signed with autographs,letra de Disappear
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. - OverdoneVer letra 3:45
Composición: Chris Foreman, Lee[X]Door locked open, door locked shutletra de Overdone
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 - In the RainVer letra 2:42
Composición: Graham McPherson, Madness[X]There is such confusion in my mind,letra de In the Rain
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. - You SaidVer letra 2:35
Composición: Graham McPherson, Mike Barson[X]You said you're leaving, well that's ok,letra de You Said
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. - The Return of the Los Palmas 7 1:57
