01) Get a rope
From the streets of Aberdeen to the Brighton scene, there's something going wrong. From the woolacomb shore to the tots dance floor, they all shout "what's going on?" You promised us a country fit for a queen, but the queen doesn't have to pay. You promised us a future bright and clean, for a vote on electionday.
Is there no-one left to shout? There's some people round here need sorting out, 'coz for you there's just no hope... Get a rope, get a rope!
Sitting warm and snug on your council seat, in comfy shoes and tweed. With your rules and regs wrapped nice and neat, deciding what my kids can't read. We're sick and tired of your liberal views, what's politically correct? Come judgement day, I'll be trying the noose and slipping it around your neck.
Can't you hear me shout? There are a lot of people like me about, but for you there's just no hope... Get a rope, get a rope!
No listen to me!!! We want to make life one big joyride, but the roadblocks get in the way. We want to fly off the Spanish seaside, but the plane's always delayed. We want to sing songs on radio 1, but the BBC says "no!" We want to do deals on a mobile phone and have something left to show.
Is there no-one left to say? There's some people round here need blowing away, 'coz for you there's just no hope... Get a rope, get a rope! Get a rope, get a rope! Get a rope!
02) Because your 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!
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, 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) Don`t blame us
Tower blocks we lived in all come tumbling down, moved out to another slum in another part of town. Playing football in the street and pissing in the lift, who really ever thought it would come to this.
East ham high street market on a Saturday, stuffing things in coats, making out getaway. Back round Charlie's house to see just what we'd got, in school Monday morning we'd just flog the lot.
Blame the teachers, blame the school! Blame the parents, come on blame one and all! Blame the coppers, blame the drugs! Blame the system, but don't blame us!
Games of chicken in the kitchen with a carving knife, eight stitches in my hand, I think I got off light. You're girlfriend's there in tears your mate's made another pass, when's he gonna learn he only has to ask.
Blame the teachers, blame the school! Blame the parents, come on blame one and all! Blame the coppers, blame the drugs! Blame the system, but don't blame us!
Schoolteachers sing you won't come to anything, there's no future in playing these dives. But looking back today we won't have another way, because we had the times off our lives.
Out of school, out off work and out of cigarettes, we'll all have some breakfast if he wins the bet. All the posing & posturing never made much sense, little boys, little man, little innocence.
Blame the teachers, blame the school! Blame the parents, come on blame one and all! Blame the coppers, blame the drugs! Blame the system, but don't blame us!
Blame the teachers, blame the school! Blame the parents, come on blame one and all! Blame the coppers, blame the drugs! Blame the system, but don't blame us!
Blame the teachers, blame the school! Blame the parents, come on blame one and all! Blame the coppers, blame the drugs! Blame the system, but don't blame us!
Blame the teachers, blame the school! Blame the parents, come on blame one and all! Blame the coppers, blame the drugs! Blame the system, but don't blame us!
05) Roads to freedom
Life sucks and then you die, that's what my old man said. It stands up its in your face, you think it's better be off dead. But don't let it get you down, remember this instead. There's a road somewhere that'll lead you to your dreams.
Oooohh oooohhh ooohhh... We're all looking for the roads to freedom! Oooohh oooohhh ooohhh... We're all looking for the roads to freedom!
It might be a semi-detached, with a hatchback in the drive. It might be a toy boy, or someone else's wife. It might be a sawn-off shotgun, wanted dead or alive. But there's a road somewhere that'll lead you to your dreams.
Oooohh oooohhh ooohhh... We're all looking for the roads to freedom! Oooohh oooohhh ooohhh... We're all looking for the roads to freedom!
Oooohh oooohhh ooohhh... We're all looking for the roads to freedom! Oooohh oooohhh ooohhh... We're all looking for the roads to freedom!
Oooohh oooohhh ooohhh... We're all looking for the roads to freedom! Oooohh oooohhh ooohhh... We're all looking for the roads to freedom!
Oooohh oooohhh ooohhh... We're all looking for the roads to freedom! Oooohh oooohhh ooohhh... We're all looking for the roads to freedom!
Oooohh oooohhh ooohhh... We're all looking for the roads to freedom! Oooohh oooohhh ooohhh... We're all looking for the roads to freedom!
When you're churning up inside and looking for the best way out. Or when the pressure gets too much and there's no help about. When the factory siren goes and no one can hear you shout. There's a road somewhere that'll lead you to your dreams.
Oooohh oooohhh ooohhh... We're all looking for the roads to freedom! Oooohh oooohhh ooohhh... We're all looking for the roads to freedom!
Oooohh oooohhh ooohhh... We're all looking for the roads to freedom! Oooohh oooohhh ooohhh... We're all looking for the roads to freedom!
Oooohh oooohhh ooohhh... We're all looking for the roads to freedom! Oooohh oooohhh ooohhh... We're all looking for the roads to freedom!
Oooohh oooohhh ooohhh... We're all looking for the roads to freedom! Oooohh oooohhh ooohhh... We're all looking for the roads to freedom!
06) 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.
'Coz 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!
'Coz 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!
07) I fit central heating (Working Part II)
I fit central heating, I have done it now for years, I have got all the know how I have got all the gear. I used to earn my money working on a building site, now Im pulling up the floorboards, soldering up the pipes and those housewifes they just cant get enough.
They tell me! Do it, do it one more time, please! Bang it on the wall, skrew it to the floor! Do it, do it one more time, please! Let me see you do it in the mirror wardrobe door!
They make me cups of coffe, they make me pots of tea, they make me chicken sandwiches, they do anything for me. And when im in the bedroom and Im fixing up the rad, I see all the naughty toys underneath the bed and those housewifes they just cant get enough.
They tell me! Do it, do it one more time, please! Bang it on the wall, skrew it to the floor! Do it, do it one more time, please! Let me see you do it in the mirror wardrobe door!
They live their lives under surburban skies, their old man works in suits and ties. They think they have got it all, but they get such a suprise when they see my wad they cant belive their eyes!
They tell me! Do it, do it one more time, please! Bang it on the wall, skrew it to the floor! Do it, do it one more time, please! Let me see you do it in the mirror wardrobe door!
My van aint got no road tax, and I do not charge VAT, I only deal in ready cash, dont ask me for receips. I will warm up your boiler, get your system rid of air. You can hold my toolbag I think thats only fair and those housewifes they just cant get enough.
They tell me! Do it, do it one more time, please! Bang it on the wall, skrew it to the floor! Do it, do it one more time, please! Let me see you do it in the mirror wardrobe door!
Do it, do it one more time, please! Bang it on the wall, skrew it to the floor! Do it, do it one more time, please! Let me see you do it in the mirror wardrobe door!
08) Strip
When I met you, you were on your own, no looks, no class, no money. Well, I took you in and I tried to help, I gave you everything I had. Must've known I want something in return, you say you don't know how to repay me. Well, the time has come for you to learn, the time has come for you to learn!
Strip, strip and make it quick! I don't wanna have to tell you twice! Strip, strip take 'em off every stich! You know you love it, you know you love it!
You've got a white Cabriolet sitting in the drive, with your initials painted on the door. My masonic ring, I gave you everything and still you tell me you want more. You've got a gold credit card and you use it twenty times a day. Well it's finally here today's the day, the time has come to pay your way, the time has come to pay your way!
Strip, strip and make it quick! I don't wanna have to tell you twice! Strip, strip take 'em off every stich! You know you love it, you know you love it!
I know your sister was a Sunday stripper, we heard so much about. I bet your mother loved the cuffs and leather, I bet your daddy used to scream and shout!

09) Crack in the mirror
Got drunk on Friday night, woke up Sunday morning. His bag's by the front door, there's no final warning. She thrown in all his clothes and all reasoning's out. It's the silence that killed him, he wished to God she'd shout.
When you're a man, it's hard to see why! When you're a man, you're not allowed to cry! There's a crack in the mirror, there's blood on the floor! There's an empty bottle of vodka that says you're not needed any more! There's a crack in the mirror, there's a bullet in his head! There's a note by his side that says without you I'm as good as dead!
With tears in his eyes he was too proud to show, he said 'shall I call you' her shrug told him no. Why can't she forget, why won't she forgive? It's not what he planned, it's just what he did.
When you're a man, it's hard to see why! When you're a man, you're not allowed to cry! There's a crack in the mirror, there's blood on the floor!

10) We know how to live
We'’re going out on Friday night, we know how to live! Lagered up and looking right, we know how to live! Pull a bird at Benjy's, take her home and do the biz! A little take a little give, we know how to live!
Bacon, eggs and tinned tomatoes, we know how to live! Mugs of tea, the sun and lager, we know how to live! Football on the telly, blue films on the vid. A little take a little give, we know how to live!
And when it’s all over and I’m rattling on the gates of heaven. And Peter’s there to ask me, did you had a good time? I'’ll look back on the years, all the laughter and the tears. I’ll say Sid Vicious did it his way, I did it mine.
Fifteen pints and half for the lady, we know how to live! Sunday roast with beer and gravy, we know how to live! You can stick your fancy French wines up you channel tunnel link. A little take a little give, we know how to live!
And when it’s all over and I’m rattling on the gates of heaven. And Peter’s there to ask me, did you had a good time? I'’ll look back on the years, all the laughter and the tears. I’ll say Sid Vicious did it his way, I did it mine.
Holidays with all the lads, we know how to live! Sun, sex, sea and duty free fags, we know how to live! A two week lager frenzy, and than back home to this. A little take a little give, we know how to live! A little take a little give, we know how to live!
11) 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!
