letra de One Step Beyond
(Hey you, don't watch that,

Watch this!

This is the heavy heavy monster sound

The nutsiest sound around

So if you've come in off the street

And you're beginning to feel the heat

Well listen buster

You'd better to start to move your feet

To the rockin'est, rock-steady beat

Of Madness

One step beyond!)

(One step beyond!...)
The PrinceVer letra 2:32

letra de The Prince
Buster, he sold the heat

With a rock-steady beat

An earthquake is erupting

But not in Orange street

A ghost-dance is preparing

You got to help us with your feet

If you're not in the mood to dance

Step back, grab yourself a seat

This may not be uptown Jamaica

But we promise you a treat

Buster bowl me over with your bogus dance

Shuffle me off my feet

Even though I'll keep on runnin'

I'll never get to Orange street

So I'll say there's nothin' left to say

For the man who set the beat

So I'll leave it up to you out there

To get him back on his feet

Buster bowl me over with your bogus dance

Shuffle me off my feet

Even though I'll keep on runnin'

I'll never get to Orange street

Bring back the

Who is the

We want the

Bring back the Prince...aahh!

letra de Embarrassment
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...
My GirlVer letra 2:57

letra de My Girl
My girl's mad at me

I didn't wanna see the film tonight

I found it hard to say

She thought I'd had enough of her

Why can't she see

She's lovely to me?

But I like to stay in

And watch t.v. on my own

Every now and then

My girl's mad at me

Been on the telephone for an hour

We hardly said a word

I tried and tried but I could not be heard

Why can't I explain?

Why do I feel this pain?

'Cause everything I say

She doesn't understand

She doesn't realise

She takes it all the wrong way

My girl's mad at me

We argued just the other night

I thought we'd got it straight

We talked and talked until it was light

I thought we'd agreed

I thought we'd talked it out

Now when I try to speak

She says that I don't care

She says I'm unaware

And now she says I'm weak
The Sun and the RainVer letra 3:24

letra de The Sun and the Rain
It's raining again,

I'm hearing its pitter patter down.

It's wet in the street

Reflecting the lights and splashing feet,

Nowhere to go,

And nothing I have to do, have to do.

It's raining again,

I follow the Christmas lights down town.

I'm leaving the flow

Of people walking all around,

Round and round,

I hear the sound of rain falling in my ears

Washing away the weariness like tears.

I can feel my troubles running down,

Disappear into the silent sound.

Just walking along,

My clothes are soaked right through to the skin,

I haven't a doubt, that this is what life is all about,

The sun and the rain.

Scraps of brain washing down the drain.

I feel the rain falling on my face

I can say there is no better place

Than standing up in the falling down

In so much rain I could almost drown.

It's raining again

A crack in the clouds reveals blue skies

I've been feeling so low(low)

But now everything is on my side

The sun and the rain.

Walk with me fill my heart again

I hear the rain falling in my ears

Washing away the weariness like tears.

I can feel my troubles running down,

Disappear into the silent sound.

I feel the rain falling on my face

I can say there is no better place

Than standing up in the falling down

In so much rain I could almost drown.

Do de do do de do do do

Do de do de do de do do do

Grey DayVer letra 4:59

letra de Grey Day
When I get home it's late at night,

I'm black and bloody from my life,

I haven't time to clean my hands,

Cuts will only sting me through my dreams.

It's well past midnight as I lie

In a semi-conscious state.

I dream of people fighting me

Without any reason I can see.

In the morning I awake,

My arms my legs my body aches,

The sky outside is wet and grey

So begins another weary day.

So begins another weary day.

After eating I go out,

People passing by me shout.

I can't stand this agony

Why don't they talk to me?

In the park I have to rest

I lie down and I do my best,

The rain is falling on my face

I wish I could sink without a trace.

In the morning I awake,

My arms my legs my body aches,

The sky outside is wet and grey,

So begins another weary day.

So begins another weary day.

In the park I have to rest

I lie down and I do my best,

The rain is falling on my face

I wish I could sink without a trace.

In the morning I awake,

My arms my legs my body aches,

The sky outside is wet and grey,

So begins another weary day.

So begins another weary day.

It Must Be LoveVer letra 3:38

letra de It Must Be Love
I never thought I'd miss you

Half as much as I do

And I never thought I'd feel this way

The way I feel

About you

As soon as I wake up

Every night, every day

I know that it's you I need

To take the blues away

It must be love, love, love

It must be love, love, love

Nothing more, nothing less

Love is the best

How can it be that we can

Say so much without words?

Bless you and bless me

Bless the bees

And the birds

I've got to be near you

Every night, every day

I couldn't be happy

Any other way

It must be love, love, love

It must be love, love, love

Nothing more, nothing less

Love is the best

As soon as I wake up

Every night, every day

I know that it's you I need

To take the blues away

It must be love, love, love

It must be love, love, love

Nothing more, nothing less

Love is the best

It must be love, love, love...
Shut UpVer letra 3:28

[X]
letra de Shut Up
I tell you I didn't do it

'Cause I wasn't there

Don't blame me, it just isn't fair

You listen to their side

Now listen to mine

Can't think of a story

Sure you'll find me sometime

Now pass the blame and don't blame me

Just close your eyes and count to three

(One two three)

Then I'll be gone and you'll forget

The broken window, t.v. set

It wasn't me either, I'm just his mate

He told me to stand here and watch the gate

I've got a wife and three kids you know

They'll tell you I'm straight, at least I think so

I'm as honest as the day is long,

The longer the daylight, the less I do wrong

Now pass the blame and don't blame me

Just close your eyes and count to three

(One two three)

Then I'll be gone and you'll forget

The broken window, t.v. set

Pass the blame and don't blame me

Just close your eyes and count to three

(One two three)

Then I'll be gone and I'll forget

That what you give is what you get...

Pass the blame and don't blame me

Just close your eyes and count to three

(One two three)
Driving in My CarVer letra 3:22

letra de Driving in My Car
I've been driving in my car, it's not quite a Jaguar

I bought it in Primrose Hill from a bloke from Brazil

It was made in fifty-nine in a factory by the Tyne

It says Morris on the door, the G.P.O. owned it before

I drive in it for my job, the governor calls me a slob

But I don't really care, give me some gas and the open air

It's a bit old but it's mine, I mend it in my spare time

Just last week I changed the oil, the rocker valves and the coil

Just last week I changed the oil

Last week it went round the clock, I also had a little knock

I dented somebody's fender, he learnt not to park on a bender, ha ha ha

I've been driving in my car, it don't look much but I've been far

I drive up to Muswell Hill, I've even been to Selsey Bill

I drove along the A45, I had her up to 58

This copper stopped me the other day, you're mistaken what could I say

The tyres were a little worn, they were O.K., I could have sworn

I like driving in my car, I'm satisfied I've got this far

I like driving in my car, it don't look much but I've been far

I like driving in my car, even with a flat tyre

I like driving in my car, it's not quite a Jaguar

I like driving in my car, I'm satisfied I've got this far
Bed and Breakfast ManVer letra 2:28

[X]
letra de Bed and Breakfast Man
Well there's a man I know

At least I used to years ago

I didn't really mind

He used to come 'round all the time

Of course he had to be fed

I had to give him a bed

He used to kip on my sofa

They used to call him a loafer

I've heard he's changed

A lot since then

But some of his ways

He just can't mend

Told the other day

That he'd offered to pay

He didn't like his dad

He earned all he ever had

He didn't have no shame

He was a master at his game

He never showed his hand

He was the bed and breakfast man

He was, he was the bed and breakfast man...
Close EscapeVer letra 2:52

[X]
letra de Close Escape
That was a 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
Wings of a DoveVer letra 3:16

letra de Wings of a Dove
Take time for your pleasure

And laugh with love

Take the hand of another

And sing for the wings of a dove

Wo-oh, wo-oh

For the wings of a dove

Wo-oh, wo-oh

For the wings of a dove

Look up at the rooftops

When you're walking round

Don't think for a moment

Of looking down

Wo-oh, wo-oh (yeah, yeah, yeah)

For the wings of a dove

Wo-oh, wo-oh

For the wings of a dove

Wo-oh, wo-oh

For the wings of a dove

Wo-oh, wo-oh

For the wings of a dove

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Look up at the rooftops

When you're walking round

Don't think for a moment

Of looking down

A room at the top

Where we're not allowed

Cheer to the echo

Can you hear the sound

Wo-oh, wo-oh (yeah, yeah, yeah)

For the wings of a dove

Wo-oh, wo-oh (yeah, yeah, yeah)

For the wings of a dove

[Repeat]

Our HouseVer letra 3:31

letra de Our House
Father wears his Sunday best

Mother's tired she needs a rest

The kids are playing up downstairs

Sister's sighing in her sleep

Brother's got a date to keep

He can't hang around

Our house, in the middle of our street

Our house, in the middle of our

Our house it has a crowd

There's always something happening

And it's usually quite loud

Our mum she's so house-proud

Nothing ever slows her down

And a mess is not allowed

Our house, in the middle of our street

Our house, in the middle of our

Our house, in the middle of our street

(Something tells you)

(That you've got to get away from it)

Our house, in the middle of our

Father gets up late for work

Mother has to iron his shirt

Then she sends the kids to school

Sees them off with a small kiss

She's the one they're going to miss

In lots of ways

[Instrumental Interlude]

Our house, in the middle of our street

Our house, in the middle of our

I remember way back then when

Everything was true and when

We would have such a very good time

Such a fine time

Such a happy time

And I remember how we'd play

Simply waste the day away

Then we'd say

Nothing would come between us

Two dreamers

Father wears his Sunday best

Mother's tired she needs a rest

The kids are playing up downstairs

Sister's sighing in her sleep

Brother's got a date to keep

He can't hang around

Our house, in the middle of our street

Our house, in the middle of our street

Our house, in the middle of our street

Our house, in the middle of our

Our house, was our castle and our keep

Our house, in the middle of our street

Our house, that was where we used to sleep

Our house, in the middle of our street

Our house, in the middle of our street
Night Boat to CairoVer letra 3:43

letra de Night Boat to Cairo
It's just gone noon

Half past monsoon

On the banks of the river Nile

Here comes the boat

Only half-afloat

Oarsman grins a toothless smile

Only just one more

To this desolate shore

Last boat along the river Nile

Doesn't seem to care

No more wind in his hair

As he reaches his last half mile

The oar snaps in his hand

Before he reaches dry land

But the sound doesn't deafen his smile

Just pokes at wet sand

With an oar in his hand

Floats off down the river Nile

Floats off down the river Nile

(All aboard, night boat to Cairo!)

(Night boat to Cairo!)

Madness, madness, they call it madness

Madness, madness, they call it madness

It's plain to see

That is what they mean to me

Madness, madness, they call it gladness, ha-ha

Madness, madness, they call it madness

Madness, madness, they call it madness

I'm about to explain

A-That someone is losing their brain

Hey, madness, madness, I call it gladness, yee-ha-ha-ha

Propaganda ministers

Propaganda ministers

I've a-got a heavy due

I'm gonna walk all over you

'Cause

Madness, madness, they call it madness

Well if this is madness

Then I know I'm filled with gladness

It's gonna be rougher

It's gonna be tougher, pa-da-da, pa-da-da

But I won't be the one who's gonna suffer

Oh no, I won't be the one who's gonna suffer

You are gonna be the one, a-you...

Good morning miss

Can I help you son?

Sixteen today

And up for fun

I'm a big boy now

Or so they say

So if you'll serve

I'll be on my way

Box of balloons

With the feather-light touch

Pack of party-poppers

That pop in the night

A toothbrush and hairspray

Plastic grin

Miss Clay on all corners

Has just walked in

Welcome to the House of Fun

Now I've come of age

Welcome to the House of Fun

Welcome to the lion's den

Temptation's on his way

Welcome to the House of

N-n-n-n-n-n-no no miss

You misunderstood

Sixteen big boy

Full pint in my manhood

I'm up to date

And the date's today

So if you'll serve

I'll be on my way

Welcome to the House of Fun

Now I've come of age

Welcome to the lion's den

Temptation's on his way

Welcome to the House of (Fun)

I'm sorry son

But we don't stock

Party gimmicks

In this shop

Try the House of Fun

It's quicker if you run

This is a chemist

Not a jokers' shop!

Party hats

Simple enough clear

Comprehende savvy understand

Do you hear?

A pack of party hats

With the coloured tips

Too late!

Gorgon's heard gossip

Well hello Joe, hello Miss Clay

Many happy returns from the day

Welcome to the House of Fun

Now I've come of age

Welcome to the House of Fun

Welcome to the lion's den

Temptation's on his way

Welcome to the House of Fun

Welcome to the House of Fun...

letra de Baggy Trousers
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
