No Violins   

We were talkin' 'bout the old times
We went walking, down the streets we used to run.
Remember when you were angry
About every cause to be had
We weren't all bad --
I'm not talkin' 'bout security complex
I ain't talkin' 'bout some monochrome duplex
I ain't talkin' bout some new kinda weird sex
I'm just talkin' 'bout -- you and me
The way we used to be -- hey
I'm just talkin' 'bout you and me brother
I'm just talkin' 'bout -- another time and place
We were hungry. We were mad
We were angry. We were glad
We were really Jack the lad
We weren't all bad
We went down. We cruised around
We went down, down, down in the violence
We went around. We went around and round and round
We didn't hear no violins
Where's the madness. Where's the fire
With the flames gettin' higher
Where's the saints. And the liars





Laugh Or Cry   

This ain't no tragedy
This ain't no addiction
This ain't no comedy
This ain't no fiction
But baby you make me laugh
And baby you make me cry
I don't mind either way
Now I don't care why
You just gotta laugh -- or cry
Right till. The day you die...
Just open up your heart
Or open up your eyes
Laugh or cry
So anytime you wanna laugh
Anytime you wanna cry
Just open up your heart
Or open up your eyes
And baby laugh -- or cry
And baby I know
That you'll thank me someday
(Don't hide your emotions)
And baby I know
That you'll see it my way
(Forget all of these notions)
So anytime you wanna laugh
Anytime you wanna cry
Just open up your heart
Or open up your eyes
And baby laugh -- or cry
Right till the day you die





Future Management   

(You Don't Need Nobody Else)
You won't need nobody else but me...
You'll find...
I'm gonna invite you to try my machines
Programme an offer you just can't refuse
I'm gonna invite you to share all my dreams
You've nothing to lose
Recycle your thoughts
I'll rewire your mind
I'll punch in some new points of view
To make sure you find
You've got nothing to lose
You don't need nobody else but me





Let's Get Crazy   

Hey little mama
Give me the keys tonight
(Oooh. Whatcha gonna do)
Hey little honey
You're comin' out with me. Tonight
(Oooh. Whatcha gonna do)
Let's jump in your wheels
And see how it feels. Tonight
Let's get crazy. Let's get crazy tonight
Ooooh yeah
Let's get crazy. Let's get riled
Oh yeah
Let's get crazy. Let's get wild tonight
You know that I told you I'd always be true
You know that I could never tell a lie
Well if you believe me the joke is on you
I'll always be crazy till the day I die
Hey little fruitcake
Don't wear no shoes. Tonight
(Oooh. Whatcha gonna do)
We'll get some action
Nothin' to lose. Tonight
(Oooh. Whatcha gonna do)
Just play your part
I'll show you my heart. Tonight
Let's get crazy. Let's get crazy tonight
Oooh yeah
Let's get crazy Let's get insane
Oh yeah
Tell ya baby
You won't feel no pain. Tonight
Let's get crazy. Let's get crazy
Let's get crazy. Let's get crazy tonight
Alright.





My Country I & II   

Something horrid...
Oh Oh Oh
I would not fight for my country
I would not work to no rule
Don't have no truck with no power game
Won't be some other jerks tool
Don't have no part 'cos one party and
Another's all the same
(Workin' for some other man)
All the same
Gonna play it
(Workin' for some other man)
At my own game
Oh Ee Ooh
'Oi you
Don't wanna die for some old man's crusade
Don't wanna hear what they feed
Don't wanna kill for some cause of the age
Don't wanna cry for somebody else's need
Don't want no piece of no flag in the breeze
Don't want no part cos one party and
Another's all the same
All the same
Gonna play it at my own game
Oooooh not me
Oi you
You don't get me





Good Times Are Now   

Across the street your smile broke
Like a wave upon my face
You didn't notice me at all
Across the street I saw you
With some other pretty face
I loved you then I love you now
I loved you then I love you now
I had to take a chance
Cos special moments only tend
To happen now and then
I had to take my chance and
Grab the moment by its ears
Not be just some fly on your wall
Had to take my chance there
So I asked you out to dance there
I loved you then I love you now
I loved you then I love you now
I had to take a chance
Cos special moments only tend
to happen now and then
Live for the present
It's the only one we have
Nobody gets out of here... alive
Life in the future might never come to pass
You know -- the good times are now





Magic Is Loose   

Almost like Christmas
But the calendar's wrong
The silence is deafening
But the feeling is strong
Magic is loose
Magic is loose in the world tonight
The sky is too black
The stars are too bright
The air is too still
Funny business alright
Honey, can you feel it
Honey, can you feel it
Magic is loose
Magic is loose In the world tonight
All through the occident
Through the grey atmospheres
All through the orient
Like a shroud around a sphere
My feelings are bent
It's a strange kind of scene
There's a little distortion
On my personal screen
Honey. Can you feel it
Honey. Can you feel it
Magic. Is loose
Magic. Is loose In the world tonight





Interlude In Constantinople   

Good evening Constantinople
The best audience in the world we've bin told
We really hope the dope'll
Make you clap
At all that crap
That you've bin sold.





Airheads   

Red light warning
Break down coming
Red light warning
People round here
Call me an airhead
People round here
Know I like a bottle of wine
People round here
Think I'm better off dead
The folks round here
Call me an airhead
The folks round here
Ain't too refined
Break -- down -- comin'
Raw -- nerve end -- tingle
Cops -- bust -- run in
Speed -- hurts -- keys jangle
Airheads -- stick together
Airheads -- till the end of time
Airheads -- don't know better
Airheads -- I feel fine
Brain -- on -- bed -- Where am I
Liverpool -- Leeds -- Miami
Real nutcracker this morning
Real nutcracker last night
Red light warning
No panic station
People round here
Call me an airhead
People round here
Say I've got space for brains
People round here
Are no better than junk food
The jerks round here
Should go play with the traffic
The folks round here
Should go play with the traffic
Break down comin'





Fun In Space   

Strangers in a strange land
In an alien heat
Journeys made by no man
In event of defeat
This ship sings to the skies
This ship sings to the skies
For all you, Gals and guys
Stranger than fiction
The smile on your face
Boy when we get there
We'll have fun in space
Our structure is battered
But the corridors ring
With little green stories
Of this and these things
This ship sings to the skies
This ship sings to the skies
For all you gals and guys
Stranger than fiction
The smile on your face
Boy when we get there
We'll have fun in space...
