1.Another Satellite
作詞:Andy Partridge
My heart is taken, it's not lost in space
And I don't want to see your moony moony face
I say, why on earth do you revolve around me?
Aren't you aware of the gravity?
Don't need another satellite
I'm happy standing on my feet of clay
I have no wish to swim your milky, milky way
I say, why on earth do you send your letters 'round here
Only to gum up the atmosphere?
Don't need another satellite
So circling, we'll orbit another year
Two worlds that won't collide
So circling, we'll orbit another year
Moon still tries to steal the tide away
Don't need another satellite
Don't need another satellite
Abort your mission, let's just say you tried
Before you glimpse I have a darker, darker side
I say, why in Heaven's name do you come on these trips
Only to freeze in a total eclipse?
Don't need another satellite
So circling, we'll orbit another year
Two worlds that won't collide
So circling, we'll orbit another year
Moon still tries to steal the tide away
Don't need another satellite
Don't need another satellite
Don't need another satellite
Don't need another satellite
Don't need another satellite
2.Blame The Weather
作詞:Moulding Colin Ivor
When your love's flown out the window
And the pain comes through the door
Once again you've missed the boat
And you're stranded on the shore
And you find out that what you had
Was never yours at all
Friends and lovers that you knew so well
Will never take your calls
So, you blame the weather
Oh oh, blame the weather
Oh oh, blame the weather
Oh oh, can't you see you're in your prime?
You're turning creases into lines
If you play the game
You've got to be prepared to take a knock
You get put down so many times
But you keep on getting up
So put your tears away
And don't forget to worry is a crime
Nothing bears thinking about too much
You'll be old before your time
So, you blame the weather
Oh oh, blame the weather
Oh oh, blame the weather
Oh oh, can't you see you're in your prime?
You're turning creases into lines
The pool of tears you left to drown in
The helping hands that never came
The years you lost out to another
All up in flames
So, you blame the weather
Oh oh, blame the weather
Oh oh, blame the weather
Oh oh, can't you see you're in your prime?
You're turning creases into lines
3.Cockpit Dance Mixture
作詞:Andy Partridge
Man acting like a farmer
And he's treating the woman like a poor cow
He got to treat you better from now
But man is just a baby
And he's needing your milk of kindness I vow
To drink as much as you will allow
All the way through history
Man machine, no mystery
All the way through history
Girl have the brain to act just like the weaker sex
Down in the cockpit
Man need the woman to pull him right out of it
Down in the cockpit
Man need the woman to pull him right out of it
Queen wants the castle back from the rascal
Queen wants the castle
Now
The girl tribe are growing up
And filling the world full with a new soul
To get so far they paid a high toll
Try not to make, the same mistakes
As man has made or you'll fall in that hole
And you will see us changing our role
Oh, look what is this creature
Down in that hole?
Some say they were called men

5.Extrovert
作詞:Andy Partridge
Yes, it's true
I want that apple, just like William Tell
No more floor gazing, no more head down the well
I'm feeling extrovert
I should be shaking the stars instead of hugging the dirt
I swear
I'm really burning, fit to boil up the sea
Human volcano at a zillion degrees
I'm feeling extrovert
Instead of quiet and shy I'm really dying to fly
I feel like someone else
Yes I do, yes I do, yes I do
I feel like someone else
I feel new, not so blue, I feel
Extrovert
No hidden message, nothing political
You needn't listen, I just wanted to show
I'm feeling extrovert
I am the lion who's roaring not the mouse that gets hurt
I feel like someone else
Yes I do, yes I do, yes I do
I feel like someone else
I feel new, not so blue, I feel
My trumpet plays for you
I'm gonna blow it now
6.Happy Families
作詞:Andy Partridge
Have you got Miss Fortune
She's the daughter of rich parents, all she does is cry
One four-letter word is all she wants
But you can't buy love so there's no supply
Will you take your Master Charge?
The boy who's living well beyond his parents' means
(Happy families)
See his parents kill theirselves with work to keep
Their dandy in the latest jeans
(Happy families)
Happy families is a kid's game
Happy families is your main aim
It starts out with a dealing in the middle of the night
And ends up with a full house
If you play your cards out right
Mum says Dad is cheating, you should see
The grown-ups fight for happy families
The game that's sure to please
Have you got your Master Race
The bigot son who like his dad is full of fear
(Happy families)
Not so much a sun, more of a storm to her
To burn the books when Dad's not here
(Happy families)
Happy families is a kid's game
Happy families is your main aim
You start out with your first cub
And you think that life's a song
You'll end up with a wolf pack
If you lay your cards out wrong
Dad says Mom is cheating
You can see the children long
For happy families
The game that's sure to please
Have you got Miss Carriage
She's the girl who wants a baby that she cannot find
(Happy families)
Strange, the ones who want to win the race
Are usually the ones who fall behind
7.Heaven Is Paved With Broken Glass
作詞:Andy Partridge
Heaven is paved with broken glass
Since your hammer struck my heart
This world, a hell of trees and grass
All is wrong like north gone south
There's a bad taste in my mouth
Everything was stars
'Til you had a notion to leave
Beauty marks turn scars
Bet you had a laugh up your sleeve
Congratulations love, love, love, love
You made a fool of me and physics
Heaven is paved with broken glass
Since your hammer struck my heart
This world, a hell of trees and grass
All is wrong like north gone south
There's a bad taste in my mouth
Everything was gold
'Til you thought you were above me
Soldier turns to rogue
Pretty turns to pretty ugly
Congratulations love, love, love, love
You made a fool of me and physics
And I'm feeling cheated
And I'm feeling used
And what's even worse is
You just look amused
Heaven is paved with broken glass
Since your hammer struck my heart
This world, a hell of trees and grass
Since your hammer struck my heart
Heaven is paved with broken glass
8.I Need Protection
作詞:Colin Moulding
Oh, I need protection
Nothing is safe and
Nothing is truly sacred
If you want to stay alive
Keep your body from the undertakers
Sing out
Oh, I need protection
Have you ever had a threat?
Have you ever had, stare?
You can see it on TV
From the pleasing safety of your armchair
Sing out
Oh, I need protection
When it slap you in the face
Will you take, to consider
What will you do
When he says to you, stand, deliver
Will you take to your heels
And fight to brazen your features
Yeah, it won't go away
With just one click of your fingers
Sing out
Oh, I need protection
Protection
9.Looking For Footprints
作詞:Colin Moulding
I want a back seat
Because I'm dead beat
I'm respirating
Gives us sleepyheads, sleepyheads
The road ahead, it takes us to our bed
Sleepyheads, sleepyheads
Our minds they race but our bodies are dead
Just like looking for footprints
Looking for footprints
The lights are twisted
Each one is misted
To far and counting
Head nod in twenty
Gives us sleepyheads, sleepyheads
The road ahead, it takes us to our bed
Sleepyheads, sleepyheads
Our minds they race but our bodies are dead
10.Mermaid Smiled
作詞:Andy Partridge
From pools of xylophone clear
From caves of memory
I saw the children at heart
That we once used to be
Borne on foaming seahorse herd
Compose with trumpeting shell
From lines across their hands
A song as new as new moon
As old as all the sands
Shrank to stagnant from Atlantic wild
Lost that child 'til mermaid smiled
Summoned by drum rolling surf
As laughing fish compel
The young boy woken in me
By clanging diving bell
Breakers pillow fight the shore
She wriggles free in the tide
I'm locked in adult land
Back in the mirror she slides
Waving with comb in hand
I was lucky to remain beguiled
Grown to child since mermaid smiled
11.Officer Blue
作詞:Colin Moulding
Officer blue
Really love the things you do
Even when I was just eight years old
(Eight years old)
Officer blue
Is it true what they say?
That when you work you're still at play
(Still at play)
Oh, officer blue
I really love the things you do
It's magical, people in a human zoo
Officer blue
Cast a shadow on the wall
But by torchlight even mice look tall
(They don't fall)
Officer blue
In a blaze of human form
And your stripes and badges to conform
(You conform)
Officer blue
Really love the things you do
Even when I was just eight years old
(Eight years old)
Officer blue
Is it true what they say?
That when you work you're still at play
(Still you play)
12.Pulsing Pulsing
作詞:Andy Partridge
Pulsing pulsing
There's a beat in his arm still
Pulsing pulsing
Like the throb of an anthill
Pulsing pulsing
No death in the rain
I've been washing my hands
I'm pulsing
You're pulsing
Who's pulsing?
What's pulsing?
Pulsing pulsing
There's a lump in his throat still
Pulsing pulsing
At the site of a crash throw
Pulsing pulsing
No push in the vein
I've been washing my hands
13.Punch And Judy
作詞:Andrew Partridge
Gather 'round!
Punch and Judy did it truly
And were married in a haste
In love, maybe, using the baby
As a kind of romance paste
She's grown fatter, her hair cut shorter
Looks much older than nineteen
He's a drinker, not a thinker
Baby spoiled his could-have-been
This must be make-believe
This must be make-believe
This must be make-believe
'Cos who do we know, dear, who acts like that?
Punch and Judy
Punch and Judy, in a semi
On a brand new council plot
Sunday lunchtime, beer-for-punch time
While his dinner's far from hot
She grows tired, cab is hired
She goes 'round to see her friend
He comes back late, fool is irate
We will see his temper bend
This must be make-believe
This must be make-believe
This must be make-believe
'Cos who do we know, dear, who acts like that?
Punch and Judy in a quandary
She's walked out and he is mad
Now he's grown up, can't smash home up
Retribution must be had
Punch and Judy had a baby
Who brought them to married bliss
Mr. Punch has drunken hunch
That he must punish kid for this
This must be make-believe
This must be make-believe
This must be make-believe
'Cos who do we know, dear, who acts like that?
Punch and Judy
14.Strange Tales, Strange Tails
作詞:Andy Partridge
Strange tales
Scribbled on a uniform
Strange tails
Scribbled down in cuneiform
(It had been written)
You had
(To get in)
You know a cat'll play
You used to be a big mouse
Strange tales, strange tails
Strange tales
Scribbled on the shelter walls
Strange tails
Scribbled as the idol falls
Strange tales, strange tails
15.Take This Town
作詞:Andy Partridge
Living in a rabbit tunnel
Keep the doggy in her kennel
Mustn't let her see the world, oh, no
Don't treat her like that, oh, no
Don't treat her like that
Leaving after mom and daddy
Carry home just like a cat, he
Mustn't let them see your kill
Shout it clear for all to hear
You won't shoot this bird down
Shout it clear for all to hear
We're going to take this town
(Turn and done bridge give the orders)
(Keeping lunch in perfect orders)
Mustn't let them know their minds
(Turning on too early music)
(Bring up on each other that they)
Mustn't let them over the lines
It's time she stopped being your ornament
It's time she put it in the past for permanent
You can't hold her if she wants to roam around
Around around around around
You can't hold her dreamin', keep her gagged and bound
Gagged and bound
We're going, we're going to
We're going to take
We're going to take this
We're going to take this
16.Thanks For Christmas
作詞:Balthazar, Kasper, Melchoir, Andy Partridge
Thanks for Christmas
Thank you for the love and happiness
That's snowing down
All around
Thanks for Christmas
Thank you for the winter friendliness
That's snowing down
All around the world
It's nearer
Children's eyes shine clearer now

Thanks for Christmas
Thank you for the love and happiness
That's snowing down
All around
Thanks for Christmas

17.The World Is Full Of Angry Young Men
作詞:Colin Moulding
Gone are the days
When hate filled my heart
I feel now I am a happy man
I laugh now at values that I had
All through my youth
I was shouting and no one would hear
Blind to the ways of the people
Who now I hold dear, It's loud and clear
The world is full of angry young men
Chip on the shoulder, an ideal in their head
The world is full of angry young men
Who think life owes them something but you only get out what
goes in
There was a time when I fought the world
I see now, it was just an actors stage
I see clear,
The colors through the haze
As time goes on, your opinion will change like the weather
Things that you said, now seem small
They just don't seem to matter
I learned for the better
The world is full of angry young men
Chip on the shoulder, and an ideal in their head
The world is full of angry young men
Who think life owes them something but you only get out what
goes in
There was a time I was lost in the dark
I ran a race I didn't know where to start
Now I've changed my ways seeing better days
I'm turning my world upside down
The world is full of angry young men
Chip on the shoulder, and an ideal in their head
The world is full of angry young men
Who think life owes them something but you only get out what
goes in
Angry young men
What you put in is what you get out
18.Tissue Tigers (The Arguers)
作詞:Andy Partridge
I shout this, you shout that
The clouds are coming over looking awful black
It's all hot air
You say go, I say stay
Clear blue sky goes Sheffield gray
It's all hot air
I've grown immune to your claws
Pussycat, I know
All your threats are tissue tigers
Crawling across the table to me
All your threats are tissue tigers
Ripping 'em up is easy for me now
I shout this, you shout that
An eye for heart and a tit for a tat
You easy tear
Think your stripes are yellow and black
I can only see the yellow one down your back
You easy tear
I've grown immune to your claws
Pussycat, I know
All your threats are tissue tigers
Crawling across the table to me
All your threats are tissue tigers
Ripping 'em up is easy for me now
We argue all life long
You'd swear that black was wrong
Throw tantrums like Queen Kong
I've trapped you in my song
All your threats are tissue tigers
Crawling across the table to me
All your threats are tissue tigers
Ripping 'em up is easy for me now
19.Too Many Cooks In The Kitchen
作詞:Colin Moulding
There's too many cooks in the kitchen
There's too many minds on the job
There's too many cooks in the kitchen
Everybody wants a piece of the action
Cooking the books and getting their fractions wrong
What we need is law and order
Everybody knows
Can't have chiefs without the injuns
Stepping on their toes
There's too many cooks in the kitchen
There's too many daps in the pie
There's too many cooks in the kitchen
Everybody needs a place in the rat race
Playing games of power, it's only a cat chase
Too many, too many, too many
Too many cooks in the kitchen
20.Over Rusty Water
21.History of Rock & Roll
So, let's briefly summarize what we know, shall we?
The 50's
The 60's
The 70's
The 80's
Thank you, and goodnight.
22.Respectable Street
作詞:Andy Partridge
It's in the order of their hedgerows
It's in the way their curtains open and close
It's in the look they give you down their nose
All part of decency's jigsaw I suppose
Heard the neighbor slam his car door
Don't he realize this is respectable street
What d'you think he bought that car for
'Cos he realize this is respectable street
Now they talk about abortions
In cosmopolitan proportions to their daughters
As they speak of contraception
And immaculate receptions on their portable
Sony Entertainment Centers
Heard the neighbor slam his car door
Don't he realize this is respectable street
What d'you think he bought that car for
'Cos he realize this is respectable street
Now she speaks about diseases
And which sex position pleases best her old man
Avon lady fills the creases
When she manages to squeeze in past the caravans
That never move from their front gardens
Heard the neighbor slam his car door
Don't he realize this is respectable street
What d'you think he bought that car for
'Cos he realize this is respectable street
It's in the order of their hedgerows
It's in the way their curtains open and close
It's in the look they give you down their nose
All part of decency's jigsaw I suppose
Sunday church and they look fetching
Saturday night saw him retching over our fence
Bang the wall for me to turn down
I can see them with their stern frown as they dispense
The kind of look that says they're perfect
Heard the neighbor slam his car door
Don't he realize this is respectable street
What d'you think he bought that car for
'Cos he realize this is respectable street
He realize this is respectable street
He realize this is respectable street
He realize this is respectable street
23.Scissor Man
作詞:Andy Partridge
Snipping, snipping, snipping goes the scissor man
Putting end to evil doers games
Snipping, snipping, snipping goes the scissor man
Maybe you are in his book of names
Maybe you are in his book of names
So be kind and helpful to your mother
Just think twice before you try to steal
When he cuts with sticky silver snippers
You may find that wounds will never heal
All self made bad boys
If you refuse to believe he exist
You won't be frightened
When you find out you're on his list
You're on his list, you're on his list
Snipping, snipping, snipping goes the scissor man
Putting end to evil doers games
Snipping, snipping, snipping goes the scissor man
Maybe you are in his book of names
Maybe you are in his book of names
So be good and never poison people
Just think twice before the deed is done
When you wake up guilty in the morning
You may find important pieces gone
All self made bad boys
If you refuse to believe he exist
You won't be frightened
When you find out you're on his list
You're on his list, you're on his list
Snipping, snipping, snipping goes the scissor man
Putting end to evil doers games
Snipping, snipping, snipping goes the scissor man
Maybe you are in his book of names
Maybe you are in his book of names
All self made bad boys
If you refuse to believe he exist
You won't be frightened
When you find out you're on his list
You're on his list, you're on his list
Snipping, snipping, snipping goes the scissor man
Putting end to evil doers games
Snipping, snipping, snipping goes the scissor man
Maybe you are in his book of names
Maybe you are in his book of names
24.Ten Feet Tall
作詞:Colin Moulding
Happy I'm floating
Around on my feet now
You make me go dizzy
I'm weak at the knees
As I feel like I'm walking
'Round a ten feet tall
I feel like I'm walking
'Round a ten feet tall
Well, you say I'm faking
And I say don't worry
The way that I bubble
There's something in the make
As I feel like I'm walking
'Round a ten feet tall
I feel like I'm walking
'Round a ten feet tall
Right, the chemistry is right
This boy has reached his height
This feeling just goes on and on, and on, and on
From strength to strength, I'm ten feet long
Yeah, I feel like I'm walking
'Round a ten feet tall
I feel like I'm walking
'Round a ten feet tall
But I feel like I'm walking
'Round a ten feet tall

This boy has reached his height
This feeling just goes on and on, and on, and on
From strength to strength, I'm ten feet long
Yeah, happy I'm floating
Around on my feet now
You make me go dizzy
I'm weak at the knees
As I feel like I'm walking
'Round a ten feet tall
