1.Never Here
It's a sign of devotion
You made everybody else seem insane
You filled my head with your notions
You made everybody else seem so tame
In your bed I lay reeling
You made everybody else seem a shame
I knew from the way I was feeling
Nothing could ever be quite the same
I moved straight into your shoes
I took up your cause and answered your phone
I couldn't really imagine
What life was like when I was alone
Then I started to worry
I thought of our lives left on the shelf
Too much TV and curry
Too much time spent on ourselves
We were sitting in waiting
And I told you my plan
You were far too busy writing
Words that didn't scan
And you lent me your records
And I leant you an ear
Funny how it seems to me now
That you were never here
Never really here
In our bed I lay reeling
You made everybody else seem a shame
I knew from the way I was feeling
Nothing could ever be quite the same
It's a sign of devotion
You made everybody else seem so plain
Then it felt like going through the motions
First impressions never remain
We were sitting in waiting
And you told me your plan
I was far too busy writing
Rhymes that'll never scan
Now I've sold all your records
'Cause they give me the fear
Funny how it seems to me now
That you were never here
Never really here
Never really here
2.Smile
Peaches and cream
Where have you been？
Did you know I've been waiting all night？
Whose bed were you in？
Whose head were you turning？
Don't you know I've been out of my mind
Cause I know what you fear you will find...
...oh why...
Sweetness and light
I don't want to fight you
But I don't want to listen to lies
Your face is a mess
You know you should drink less
I said I don't want to hear how time flies
Cause I know from the look in your eyes
You were talking to some girl
Who'd seen you on her TV set
She said that she felt like she knew you
Although you'd only just met...
Oh yeah...
Ohh Don't stop talking shop
I'll see you down the time swap
I've been tested and tried
Lost on the tide
So cold inside
Do you know I've been out of my mind？
Cause I know what you fear you will find
You were talking to some girl
Who said that she'd seen you before
Oh my head's such a mess
Till I hear you key in the door...
...Oh yeah...
...Oh Yeah.
3.Stutter
No need to whine boy
Like a wind up toy you stutter at my feet
And it's never the time boy
You've had too much wine to stumble up my street
Well it isn't a problem
Nothing we can't keep between the sheets
Tell me you're mine love
And I will not wait for other bedtime treats
(Chorus：)
Is there something you lack
When I'm flat on my back
Is there something that I can do for you？
It's always something you ate
Or it's something you hate
Tell me is it the way that I touch you？
Have you found a new mate
And is she really great
Is it just that I'm much too much for you？
Don't feed me a line boy
I can hear that voice you use upon the phone
And there's no need to be coy
That is something you can do upon your own
Well it isn't a problem
Nothing we can't solve so just relax
Am I on the wrong train love
And will I have to tie you to the tracks
(rpt chorus)
I really want you to
I really want you to
4.All-Nighter
It's nearly eleven
Do you think we'll stand the test of time
You're a cloud short of heaven
But you know I want you to be mine
Am I sitting here waiting
Yeah, and it's getting frustrating
I've got to go to the garage
Got to get some fags and make some tea
Can you lend me enough wedge
Do you want to walk up there with me
And I'm sitting here waiting
Yeah, I'm tired of debating
Will you do me, do me now
We've been up all night
I can feel a strange attraction
Now it's getting light
But I can't spur you into action
Sure not alone
But so on my own
It's a quarter to seven
Don't you think we've stayed up long enough
You're a cloud short of heaven
But I'd love to see you strut your stuff
And I'm sitting here waiting
Yeah, and it could be X-rated
We could be oh so happy
We could be oh so happy
5.Hold Me Now
Don't stop shaking
It's my head that makes me want to second guess at a distance
Hoping there's a method to your madness baby
I might just understand if you obey me.
Hold me now I need assistance
I'd take somebody else if I could.
Walking down tree lined place so pensive in the country
I can't take the voodoo that you do
Just lust easier sussed real love makes me untrue
Hard to make a stew when the meat keeps looking up at you.
Hold me now I need assistance
Follow down the path of least resistance
Hold me now don't keep your distance
I'd take somebody else if I could
~
Hold me now I need assistance
Who don't you take the path of least resistance
Hold me now do I need a license to hold you？
Hold me now i need assistance
Follow down the path of least resistance
Hold me now will it take a lifetime to hold you？
6.Line Up
Drivel Head wears her glad rags,
She's got her keys, money and fags,
I know that her mind is made up,
To get rocked.
Drivel Head needs a new man,
As only a drivel head can,
He's a hormonal nightmare,
So beware.
(chorus：)
Another victim of
Line up in line, line up in line,
Is all I remember
Oh, how their favours change,
You could have been kinder.
Yes, yes, another victim of
Line up in line, line up in line,
Is all I remember.
Oh, how their favours change,
You could have been kinder.
Drivel Head knows all the stars,
Loves to suck their shining guitars,
They've all been right up her stairs,
Do you care？
Drivel head knows all the bands,
Knows them like the back of her hands,
You can't see the wood for the trees,
On your knees.
(repeat chorus)
7.Connection
Riding on any wave,
That is the luck you crave,
They don't believe it now,
They just think it's stupid,
So got anything？
Anyone could have done,
Who would've cared at all,
not you.
Another heart has made the trade,
Forget it, forget it, forget it,
I don't understand how a heart is a spade,
But somehow the vital connection is made.
Riding on anything,
Anything's good enough,
Who would've thought it of
Someone like you,
Just as they brought me round,
Now that they brought you down,
Roundabout and roundabout
Who wants a life anyway？
Another heart has made the grade,
Forget it, forget it, forget it,
I don't understand how the last card is played,
But somehow the vital connection is made.
8.S.O.F.T.
And now we find
Looking back at your state of mind,
Was it all just a cover up？
Woke your mother up
You were on TV
Did the devil say to you
You can make it through
I'll take you to the top
And now that you're heaven bent
And it pays the rent
Is it hard to stop？
Chorus：
S.O.F.T Thought you knew the score
S.O.F.T Always wanted more
S.O.F.T Are you sure you're sure
S.O.F.T
And now we find
Looking back at your state of mind
Was it all just a cover up？
Broke your mother up
On my TV
Did the devil say to you
You can make it through
I'll take you up the shop
And in a dress too small
To be a dress at all
Is it hard to stop？
Rpt. Chorus
9.Car Song
You could call me a car lover,
cause I love it in a motor,
And the way it feels,
To ride around on new wheels.
I hardly know you,
But I think I'm going to,
Let's go siesta,
In your Ford Fiesta.
(chorus：)
Here we go again,
I'm riding in your car,
Let me count to ten,
Cause it's gone way too far,
Up my street to nowhere,
You know what detours are,
Here we go again,
And it's gone way too far.
Sometimes I just can't function,
My heart's spaghetti Junction,
Every shining bonnet,
Makes me think of my back on it.
I just can't escape the feeling,
That I'd rather be free wheeling,
In every little Honda,
There may lurk a Peter Fonda,
(repeat chorus)
10.Blue
John's gone his senses loaded
Over by your house, you know
It's so basic
John's gone, his senses loaded
over by your house it's so basic
I think you're faking
have a good time but don't get into my head
Do you recommend I wait a while
direct and live or keep it constant
and selective blue
I can read your mind
if you want to I will let you blue
I can read your mind if you want to
John's gone, he needs attention
do you understand his inclination
I've seen you shaking
come down here and I'll show you the wrong way
try to rearrange this tired old line
connect this smile and keep it standard
and reflective blue
I can read your mind
If you want to I will let you blue
11.2：1
Keeping a brave face
In circumstances is impossible
Cannot describe
So many decisions
It's impossible
To know which is
The proper order
The best position to be in
take advantage
or so it seems
the way it goes
Sandman comes (it's tragic)
Two to one (laid down on your side)
In the dark (Too easy)
Dark reflections (you know that you know)
In my head (You're soaking wet)
In my bed (You talk too much)
Again (It's not necessary)
Sandman goes (Before the ice melts)
Two in tow (I just want to say)
Wet and dumb (this packet's yours)
Three's the number (Don't ask for more)
Coming down (Cos somewhere along the line)
Coming round again (I've forgotten already)
12.Waking Up
I'd work very hard,
But I'm lazy
I can't take the pressure and it's starting to show,
In my heart
You know how it pains me
A life of leisure is no life you know
(Chorus：)
Waking up and getting up has never been easy,
Oh I think you should know
Waking up and getting up has never been easy,
Oh I think you should know
Oh I think you should go
Make a cup of tea
and put a record on.
I'd work very hard
But I'm lazy
I've got a lot of songs but they're all in my head
I'll get a guitar
And a lover who pays me
If I can't be a star I won't get out of bed
(Rpt chorus X2)
13.Vaseline
(louder)
When you're stuck like glue
Vaseline
When you need some goo
When you're stuck like glue
Vaseline
When you're black and blue
Vaseline
la la la la la la la la la la
When you're stuck like glue
Give me some
When you're stuck like glue
If you'd like to woo
Vaseline
la la la la la la la la la la
If it's hot like you
Give me some
Do you need a clue
I want some
Vaseline
Vaseline
Vaseline
Vaseline
Vaseline
Vaseline
14.Annie
Annie, told me,
Get out of here, head for the sea,
The sun is hot and the air is clean
The best things in the world are free
And Mister Murphy
Likes his Jackanory
Holsten Export times three
Jimi Hendrix and Thin Lizzy
Annie, Annie, Annie
Met a mate in the afternoon
Holsten shore line pub crawl
Looking for some cold beer
Missed the stone punch drunk Judy
Tony, brandy, M.G., Andy
Vodka, scotch and loads of beer
It's so great we want to stay here
Annie, Annie, Annie
15.See That Animal
See that animal get some heavy metal
Watch the world go singing sha-la-la-la
White stick happiness, will we ever know how it feels, how it
feels？
I feel your tatoo on mine, but I can't wash it off this time
Oh it's time, oh it's time, oh it's time, oh it's time.
See that drug act, that AC／DC drag act on the wires in the sky
tonight
Fifteen new cities, but will we ever know how it feels, how it
feels.
I feel my tatoo on you, it's a sweet thing Terry, but it's not
true
It's not true, It's not true, It's not true, It's not true.
16.Indian Song
If you want to
Then you've got to
Let it show
It is waiting
It is waiting.
If you want to
Then you'be got to
Let it go
It is waiting
It is waiting
If you want to
Then you've got to
Let it show
It is waiting
It is waiting
17.S.o.f.t

Looking back at your state of mind,

And now that you're heaven bent
And it pays the rent,

Thought you knew the score

Always wanted more
S.o.f.t.
Are you sure you're sure
S.o.f.t.
And now we find

You're a cloud short of heaven
But i'd love to see you strut your stuff
And i'm sitting here waiting
Yeah, and it could be x-rated
We could be oh so happy,
We could be oh so happy.
