01) Because you’re young
Because you're young, sharp as a knife, you need that buzz to come alive. Out on the edge, out on the town you ain't got time to settle down. You're always sure, you're always right, you see it all in black and white. You never listen to anyone because you're young!
Because you're young, you're torn between a world of hate and a world of dreams. So much to lose, so much to gain, so much to fight for, so much to change. You don't look back, you don't look down, you gotta turn everything around. You live your life like a loaded gun because you're young!
Stop talking back, get off the phone, you're late again, you missed the last bus home. This ain't the way you wanna live, I know something's got to give. You're always sure, you're always right, you see it all in black and white. You never listen to anyone because you're young!
Stop talking back, get off the phone, you're late again, you missed the last bus home. This ain't the way you wanna live, I know something's got to give. You don't look back, you don't look down, you gotta turn everything around. You live your life like a loaded gun because you're young!
You never listen to anyone because you're young!
02) Last train to Dagenham
I'll be on the last train to Dagenham, I've been drinking in a pub up west. I'm looking for the sign that says this is the district line and I'm gonna catch the alky express.
I'll be on the last train to Dagenham, with all the other ravers, drunk and stoned. Empty cans of Tenants Super rattle at my feet and I'm wondering if I'll ever make it home.
'Cause I've drunk the dole and I've drunk my flatmate's rent! He'll never speak to me again, if I don't get some money sent!
'Cause I've drunk the dole and I've drunk my flatmate's rent! He'll never speak to me again, if I don't get some money sent!
I'll be on the last train to Dagenham, shattered, worn out, knackered, shagged and tired. But if I miss my stop, I know I'll have a bloody long walk home, so I'm trying to keep my eyes open wide.
I'll be on the last train to Dagenham! I'll be on the last train to Dagenham! I'll be on the last train to Dagenham!
03) Bird trouble
You got, you got, you know what? You got, you got, you know what? How long can freedom last, when you got bird trouble and your sinking fast?
Well I heard you told her that you loved her and you whisper sweet nothings in her ear. And I heard you're planning a wedding, with vol-au-vents, speeches and beer. Don't you know you're under the thumb, boy you're acting like a lovesick slob. Don't you care you'll lose all your mates for a wife, a mortgage and a job.
And it's obvious to everyone but you... You got, you got, you know what? Bird trouble! You got, you got, you know what, Bird trouble! How long can freedom last, when you got bird trouble and you're sinking fast?
She tells you what to do and where to go, she tells you what to say and what to wear. And when we're on boys' night out, you're gone for hours on the phone to her. It's embarrassing to see you crawl, when you used to be the number one FACE. I'm telling you this as a friend, you've turned into a basket case.
And it's obvious to everyone but you... You got, you got, you know what? Bird trouble! You got, you got, you know what, Bird trouble! How long can freedom last, when you got bird trouble and you're sinking fast?
You're much to young for this, 'cause youth disappears too soon. Is it a rumor that the baby’s due in June and it's obvious to everyone but you.
You'll be working every hour of the day, every day of the week of the year. And if we ever go out (which won't be often), it'll be me that's always buying the beers. She'll be gone round her mother's house for hours, or talking to her mates on the phone. You'll be the one who's left at home with the baby, wondering where it all went wrong.
And it's obvious to everyone but you... You got, you got, you know what? Bird trouble! You got, you got, you know what, Bird trouble! How long can freedom last, when you got bird trouble and you're sinking fast? You got, you got, you know what? Bird trouble! You got, you got, you know what, Bird trouble! How long can freedom last, when you got bird trouble and you're sinking fast? You got, you got, you know what? Bird trouble! You got, you got, you know what, Bird trouble! How long can freedom last, when you got bird trouble and you're sinking fast?
04) Tough guys
I know he’'s not the kind, the kind that settles down. And I know he finds it hard to keep his feet on the ground. He goes drinking every night down the pub with all his mates. Getting into fight’s staying out till late. But when he comes home rolling drunk, don’t get the 'ump, just remember.
Even tough guys need someone some times! Even tough guys need someone some times! Even tough guys need someone some times! Even tough guys need someone some times!
He don’'t where Armani suits or shirts pressed nice and clean. He wear's Doctor Martens boots and dirty Levi Jeans. Your friend’s all think he’s gross and your parents hate his guts. And once he gave you a dose but the tablets cleared it up. They all say he’s no good, but he'’s misunderstood and remember.
Even tough guys need someone some times! Even tough guys need someone some times! Even tough guys need someone some times! Even tough guys need someone some times!
He drives his car to fast he don'’t remember what you said. His promises don'’t last and he’'s lousy in bed. And when you’'re at a party and he’'s puking in the bin and you’re try to remember what you ever saw in him. So don'’t go into one, he'’s only having fun and remember.
Even tough guys need someone some times! Even tough guys need someone some times! Even tough guys need someone some times! Even tough guys need someone some times!
05) Sunday Stripper
She came from, well, in Garden City 'fore she moved into my town. She was stone cold broke but her legs were pretty and her hair looked mean as she let her hair down.
She followed in her mother's footsteps to make a little cash on the side. Invested in a well-made cat suit showed all the boys she had nothing to hide.
She's just a Sunday stripper at the bar on the corner. She's a g-string tripper, but I'm in love with her.
I get dressed every Sunday morning, get my hair back nice and clean. I take a slow walk down to the bar she works and I try to find me a front row seat.
I sit there quietly drinking, I never have to wait too long. Before she's up there in spotlight satin and the beer gets too low.
She's just a Sunday stripper at the bar on the corner. She's a g-string tripper, but I'm in love with her.
I picture her putting on her make-up, deciding what to wear. I can see her hand pulling up her stockings, painted nails riding through her hair.
And as I sit believing she goes in just for me. The others watch but I don't care, she's mine for all the world to see.
She's just a Sunday stripper at the bar on the corner. She's a g-string tripper, but I'm in love with her.
She's just a Sunday stripper at the bar on the corner. She's a g-string tripper, but I'm in love with her…
06) A.U.
Hey you come outside, I'm fed up with you looking like the cat who got the cooking. I said hey you, you and me outside. You've got the kind of face, the face of a git and I really want to hit it. I said hey you, you and me outside. Coz I've been watching you, chatting up all the girls. And I'm fed up with you and I've drunk enough.
Someone's gonna get a slap tonight! Someone's gonna get whacked tonight! Someone's gonna get a smack tonight from me and it's gonna be you!
Hey you, you look like a poof, how loud do I shout it ? Tell me what you're gonna do about it ? Hey you, you and me outside, you're a bloke who's heading for one. A real fist magnet if ever I saw one. Hey you, you and me outside. I saw you kiss that girl over in the corner. It's not jealousy, it's just you and me.
Someone's gonna get a slap tonight! Someone's gonna get whacked tonight! Someone's gonna get a smack tonight from me and it's gonna be you!
You've got too much dosh, you're everything I hate. You talk all posh, you make me so irate. You're so cock sure, you're a liability. I told you before, it's not jealousy. It's not jealously, it's just you and me!!
Someone's gonna get a slap tonight! Someone's gonna get whacked tonight! Someone's gonna get a smack tonight from me and it's gonna be you!
Someone's gonna get a slap tonight! Someone's gonna get whacked tonight! Someone's gonna get a smack tonight from me and it's gonna be you!
Someone's gonna get a slap tonight! Someone's gonna get whacked tonight! Someone's gonna get a smack tonight from me and it's gonna be you!
Someone's gonna get a slap tonight! Someone's gonna get whacked tonight! Someone's gonna get a smack tonight from me and it's gonna be you!
07) I feel a death coming on
I see it in the women, the coldness in their eyes, so shallow in their minds so predictable in desire. I see it in the bosses whose hands hold people's lives, so stupid in promotion of old boys, sycophants and liars.
And I feel a death coming on, coming on! And I feel a death coming on, coming on!
The job I do is boring, they all hate me anyway, the days are long the nights are just an alcoholic haze. The weekends come and go, nothing different, nothing new, I smoke because I need to and I drink because there's nothing else to do.
And I feel a death coming on, coming on! And I feel a death coming on, coming on!
Somebody always fucks it up with a knife in the back or a bullet in the guts. One door opens, another one shuts, somebody always fucks it up.
And I feel a death coming on, coming on!
People think I'm crazy but I'm gonna make 'em pay, let 'em laugh for now, the tears will soon be hear to stay. A chance is all I asked but heads stay buried in the sand, going out in a blaze of glory, that's the only thing they'll understand.
And I feel a death coming on, coming on! And I feel a death coming on, coming on!
08) Bats out
Just another tour, just another gig, just another sound and lighting rig, a Rock 'n' Roll show and a couple of beers, but some of those boys had other ideas. A sign on the wall made it perfectly clear: No guns, no bombs, no knives in here.
Potsdam rocks but we should have been told of freedoms new and rivals old, we played the set and we encored fast, then the dressing room door was locked at last. In retrospect, the mistake was the fact that the sign didn't say: No baseball bats!
Bats out, get your bats out! Bats out, get your bats out! Bats out, get your bats out! Bats out, get your bats out! Bats out, get your bats out!
There's always dark before the dawn, there's always still before the storm. From calm to chaos in a flash, the bottles flew, the place got trashed. Then through the noise, we heard the shout: Get your bats out, get your bats out!
Bats out, get your bats out! Bats out, get your bats out! Bats out, get your bats out! Bats out, get your bats out! Bats out, get your bats out!
Said the manager to the Security guard, "It's no use standing there looking hard...Pick up the bat and follow me," he said "I'm not with Security!"
And the ballroom now was a battlefield and we thought that someone might get killed. We saw it all but we never knew what reasons lay behind that feud and we wondered if it was fate or not to destroy only thing you've got.
Bats out, get your bats out! Bats out, get your bats out! Bats out, get your bats out! Bats out, get your bats out! Bats out, get your bats out!
Bats out, get your bats out! Bats out, get your bats out! Bats out, get your bats out! Bats out, get your bats out! Bats out, get your bats out!
09) Where are they now?
I believed in Julie when she said how easy it could be. And I believed in Tommy and his written words of anarchy. And I believed in Joe when he said we had to fight. And I believed in Jimmy when he told us to unite.
Where are they now? Where are they now? Where are they, six years on and they've all gone? Now it's all turned sour, where are they now?
Hollywood nights in Soho, writing on the wall of The Roxy loo. Rotten on the telly, showing what a few choice words can do. Was it ever worth it, causing all the fuss. You know, I believed in them, don't you believe in us?
Where are they now? Where are they now? Where are they, six years on and they've all gone? Now it's all turned sour, where are they now?
No more kids are innocent, we will get fooled again. Only faces ever change, the song remains the same.
Was it ever worth it, causing all the fuss. You know, I believed in them, don't you believe in us?
Where are they now? Where are they now? Where are they, six years on and they've all gone? Now it's all turned sour, where are they now?
Where are they now? Where are they now? Where are they now? Where are they now?
10) Running Riot
Running riot for you!
Things you say and things you do sure worry me, when were out on the street making money for you and your society. It seems to me the time is right for another generation and another street fight. Got no future, sure got a right, I got a right to live.
'Cause I can't stand the peace and quiet! All I want is for a runnin riot! I can't stand the peace and quiet! All I want is a runnin’... Riot!!
Don't you try to understand the way we feel, flash limousines and mortgages ain't no big deal. I've got no friends who want to be, living like you when they're thirty-three. Getting old sure bothers me, it bothers me to death.
'Cause I can't stand the peace and quiet! All I want is for a runnin’ riot! I can't stand the peace and quiet and all I want is a running... Riot!!
'Cause I can't stand the peace and quiet! All I want is have a runnin’ riot. I wanna riot! I can't stand the peace and quiet, all I want is have a runnin’. I just wanna Riot!
11) Argy Bargy
It started off like any other show, sunday nights on the radio. Terry played the songs we wanted to hear and Terry said things no one else would dare. He gave it all that he had to give, they said it was his only reason to live. But we just listened to the Rock n roll, Terry the DJ's radio show.
He give it some of that Argy Bargy, giving it all the chat! He give it some Argy Bargy, now what do you think of that!
Then came the evening of the Mile End row, the Ol' Bill found out I don't know how. We know they tried to lock us up that night, we were ready for a fight. Terry came onto the air at ten, he said the filth were waiting for us then. Down at the Black Boy they were there in force and he was right of course.
He give it some of that Argy Bargy, giving it all the chat! He give it some Argy Bargy, now what do you think of that!
They told him that he'd better change the song, they said to tell us that the kids were wrong. They gave him one more Sunday night, to get it right, that was the night when the girls all cried. That was the night that he said goodbye, 'cos no matter who paid him, Terry never told us a lie.
He give it some of that Argy Bargy, giving it all the chat! He give it some Argy Bargy, now what do you think of that!
He give it some of that Argy Bargy, giving it all the chat! He give it some Argy Bargy, now what do you think of that!
12) Run away Johnny
Run away Johnny! Run away Johnny! Run away Johnny, Johnny run away!
The bosses are the menaces they don't give a damn for you, they know that you earn their pay. There's a real life waiting if you just get up and go run away Johnny run away. You know the banks and the money lenders want to keep you down. Want to stop you from having your say. Don't let them tell you how you've got to run your life run away Johnny run away.
Run away Johnny! Run away Johnny! Run away Johnny, Johnny run away!
Do you want to get to fifty punching the clock saving up for that rainy day. Weekends at your caravan on the south coast run away Johnny run away.
Run away Johnny! Run away Johnny! Run away Johnny, Johnny run away!
You only get one chance so drink it down to the very last drop. This is your one chance stand up, be proud and don't stop!
You only get one chance so drink it down to the very last drop. This is your one chance stand up, be proud and don't you stop!
Your whole life is wasted doing someone else's work they get rich you get tired that's the way. Go to school get a job, you retire then you die run away Johnny run away.
Run away Johnny! Run away Johnny! Run away Johnny, Johnny run away! Run away Johnny! Run away Johnny! Run away Johnny, Johnny run away! Run away Johnny! Run away Johnny, Johnny, Johnny run away! Run away Johnny, Johnny, Johnny run away…
13) Take 'em all
We worked our way up from east end pubs, to gigs and back stage passes. Ex-boxing champs, West end clubs, Americans in dark glasses. Driving ten grand cars, they drink in hotel bars, they're even making money in bed. They wouldn't be no loss, they aint worth a toss, it's about time they all dropped dead.
Take 'em all, take 'em all-Put 'em up against a wall and shoot 'em! Short and tall, watch 'em fall-Come on boys take 'em all!
Well tough shit boys, it aint our fault, your record didn't make it. We made you dance, you had your chance, but you didn't take it. Well, I gotta go make another deal, sign another group for the company. I don't suppose we'll ever meet again, you'd better get back to the factory.
Take 'em all, take 'em all-Put 'em up against a wall and shoot 'em! Short and tall, watch 'em fall-Come on boys take 'em all!
Take 'em all, watch 'em fall! Take 'em all, watch 'em fall! Take 'em all, watch 'em fall! Take 'em all, watch 'em fall!
Take 'em all, take 'em all-Put 'em up against a wall and shoot 'em! Short and tall, watch 'em fall-Come on boys take 'em all!
Take 'em all, take 'em all-Put 'em up against a wall and shoot 'em! Short and tall, watch 'em fall-Come on boys take 'em all!
14) England belongs to me
Years of being told you ain't as good as us, join the line, sign your name. And they all said that our country's going bust, but no-one's fooling us again.
England belongs to me! A nation's pride the dirty water on the river`s, no one can take away our memory! England belongs to me!
We'll show the world that the boys are back to stay and you all know what we can do. Heads held high, fighting all the way! For the red, white, and blue!
England belongs to me! A nation's pride the dirty water on the river`s, no one can take away our memory! England belongs to me!
England belongs to me! A nation's pride the dirty water on the river`s, no one can take away our memory! England belongs to me!
England belongs to me! A nation's pride the dirty water on the river`s, no one can take away our memory! England belongs to me!
England belongs to me! A nation's pride the dirty water on the river`s, no one can take away our memory! England belongs to me!
