1. INGLORIOUS

Someone up there really likes me
They've given me the sight of ninety
They've given me the strength of wonder
To get out of the shit I'm under
Tuned the sense of fact or fiction
Cram the truth like an addiction
Face to face with muso zeros
Hid they shyly 'hind their ego

Stop (and wait), stop (and wait), stop (and wait), stop (and wait)
We could be anywhere, but you choose and bear
All the traits (of) the past (so) you act (like) you never take a shit
(Fuck) it up, (shake) it down (so) you feel in deep? In need?
Inglorious, well take a back stance
Shake your face and buckle your pants
Wake and see, you're young and free and boring us
Inglorious, twenty month lease
Anger fuelled on the justice of peers
Don't cry pain, you’ll make no change, it's obvious
Inglorious

Making a name from constant bitching
Selling fame? Your public's listening
Remember when you loved your rock stars?
Were they just as weak as you are?
Someone out there buys your vision
Carries on your blank tradition
Weaker men find weaker heroes
A weaker generation follows

Stop (and wait), stop (and wait), stop (and wait), stop (and wait)
We could be anywhere, where the future shares
Something fair, (some)thing good
(Some)thing better (than) the eighties ever set
(Not) for cash, (that) will come when the work is done, intrigued?
Inglorious, well take a back stance
Shake your face and buckle your pants
Wake and see, you're young and free and boring us
Inglorious, so make a few steps
Scare the wind out of A&R reps
Sex and sin with songs that sting in all of us
Inglorious

Go!
Sell it all in an image, cute and sweet
All the girls wanna mother you to sleep
Still I can hear your bullshit
Still I can hear it all… all… all
Who will catch you when you fall? Pose

Stop (and wait), stop (and wait), stop (and wait), stop (and wait)
You could be anywhere, but you choose and bear
So you quit, (not) the first, (not) the last
(There've) been losers in the past
(You) exist (in) an ever-growing list of dead - inbred
Inglorious, well take a back stance
Take your place and buckle your pants
Wake and see, you're young and free and boring us
Inglorious, well maybe it's you?
Music's all that'll ever get through
People tire so quickly of the glamorous
Inglorious
Inglorious

2. SICK OF DRUGS

Waking up with an eight point two
And it seemed like the easiest thing to do
When someone said: "Here's one for you!"
Mouth's so dry that I just spit ash
And a hole in my pocket full of wasted cash
But it's all right, it was just back stash
"Jump inside," he said, I tried
"I never met a junkie that I didn't like"
Said he and who am I to disagree?

Oh how can you stay
When you're sixty million miles away?
How can you fly when you're free?
And how can you feel
When your mind's made up like a will of steel?
How can you deal in your tree?
Sick of Ecstasy

Kicked in bad and you got too low
To be down with-a company you don't know
Said "Come on in, we got a right good blow"
Yeah, talking, talking the whole world's clear
Until a guy with a goatee got a touch of fear
Which went 'round the room like diarrhoea
Bored with this, I'm bored with that
I'm stuck in bed alone with a you-know-what
No rest with a heart beating out of your chest

Oh how can you stay
When you're sixty million miles away?
How can you fly when you're free?
And how can you feel
When your mind's made up like a will of steel?
How can you deal in your tree?
Sick of LSD

Oh how can you stay
When you're sixty million miles away?
How can you fly when you're free?
And how can you feel
When your mind's made up like a will of steel?
How can you deal in your tree?
Oh how can you stay
When you're sixty million miles away?
How can you fly when you're free?
Oh how can you feel
When your mind's made up like a will of steel?
How can you deal in your tree?
Sick of drugs are we

3. RED LIGHT - GREEN LIGHT

Red light, you're lonely, and nobody cares

I'm tired of hanging round
I'm tired of this old town
I'm tired of all of your familiar ways
I wanna take a trip, get on a rocket ship
I'll be a satellite of forty days
I’ll take a pack of paracetamol
Then I can wait ‘til I don’t feel at all
Or I can take some time
Get a grip on my mind
Take a walk outside
Maybe just keep walking at a…

Red light-green light, stuck in a hole
Just might stay tight, I don't wanna know
Red light-green light, stuck in a hole with you
Ain’t there nothing you can do, you got a
Red light-green light, stuck in a hole
Just might stay tight, I don't wanna know
Red light-green light, stuck in a hole with you
It's nothing new

I got a grin to grin, I got a war to win
While all the monkeys throw their weight around
Don't want to share your cup
Don't want to beat you up
I'd rather wait a while and beat you down
I put a CD in my stereo
Instead of taking the needle
And I can pour right in, with a-patience I'll win
'cos in an ideal world
There'll be no time for ideals, got a

Red light-green light, stuck in a hole
Just might stay tight, I don't wanna know
Red light-green light, get stuck in a hole with you
Ain’t there nothing you can do, you got a
Red light-green light, stuck in a hole
Just might stay tight, I don't wanna know
Red light-green light, get stuck in a hole with you
Yeeeah!

Took a bit of time to see, I like being me (Yeah!)

So put the clan (yeah) in shock, (yeah)
Get the feelings (yeah) unlocked (yeah)
Get your wagon (move) to a check in
And it's adios amigos, got a

Red light-green light, stuck in a hole
Just might stay tight, I don't wanna know
Red light-green light, get stuck in a hole with you
Ain’t there nothing you can do, you got a
Red light-green light, stuck in a hole
Just might stay tight, I don't wanna know
Red light-green light, get stuck in a hole with you
Stuck in a hole with you

4. SCHITZOPHONIC

And once upon a time, so pure and crystalline
The sounds would change to what the mood defined
It didn't play a role, it just said bare the soul
And then we left it up to crowd control
Without a code of dress within the fold

Then I heard somebody shout: “here is in, and now it's out
There is no exception to the rule!”
Showbiz personalities have become authorities
So take a trip, shake it home
Make a slip and the time it gets atoned
Get it in, get it out
Do it right, then there ain't no doubt
Well there ain't no doubt; being

Schizophonic, schizophonic
Schizophonic, schizophonic
Schizo…

If there's a sound you play that doesn't fit today
Why not just play the bastard anyway?
Ignore those journalists, with just one mind you miss
The only voice in what you say is yours
So don't get lost in corporate corridors

Those that wait to push the knife from the other side of life
Trying to gain some access into yours
Oh, but would you be in theirs, shouting orders from your chair?
Well, SOS, Hindenburg
Get a life from the things you've seen, not heard
Mix the colours, and watch the smoke
If they don't get it then it ain't no joke, no it ain't no joke; it’s

Schizophonic, schizophonic
Schizophonic, schizophonic
Schizophonic, schizophonic
Well you're never alone with a schizophone
Well you're never alone with a schizophone

Take your time, speak your mind
Believe their politics they'll push you on under
Feel it all, with open eyes
You know it's hard to fit, you're something unusual
Be inspired, a freak with pride, it's what they'll never be
And they will come running, look at them running

Plug it in, let it out
Look around and there's a lot to shout about
Speak nothing and you are nothing
Don't be a dead man sucking on teats
While the world competes; be

Schizophonic, schizophonic
Schizophonic ,schizophonic
Schizophonic, schizophonic
Well you're never alone with a schizophone
Well you're never alone with a schizophone
Well you're never alone with a schizophone
Well you're never alone with a schizophone

Take a risk from your lone time
Use it all like a mainline
Feeling restless? Supersonic?
Got a ticket, getting on it

Schizophonic, schizophonic
Schizophonic, schizophonic
Schizophonic, schizophonic
Schizophonic, schizophonic
Schizophonic, schizophonic
Schizophonic, schizophonic
Schizophonic, schizophonic
Schizophonic, schizophonic
Schizophonic, schizophonic
Schizophonic, schizophonic
Schizophonic, schizophonic
Schizophonic, schizophonic
Schizophonic, schizophonic
Schizophonic, schizophonic
Schizophonic, schizophonic
Schizophonic, schizophonic
Schizophonic, schizophonic

5. SOUL SEARCHING ON THE PLANET EARTH

“Wait, I don’t give a fuck!”

Head forth and we’re hating guilt
I tried to talk to the imbecile
Where can I go for a conversation?
Shake your head, be kind to apathy
Sick of poisoned misogyny
Ain't gonna settle down in alienation

So I tried and I tried, and I see no reply
It's a downtime, so what do you know?
Downtime, so what do you know?
Downtime, so what does it show about me?

I need a
(Different kind of love)
Yeah, you know that it's true
(Different kind of love)
Yeah, it's bigger than you

See me break at the pressure point
Where's the answer in another joint?
Where can I go for a clash reunion?
From our birth is it really worth
Soul searching on the planet Earth?
With the guts to fight for a peace communion

So I tried and I tried just to open me eyes
It's a downtime, so what do you know?
Downtime, so what do you know?
Downtime, so where do we go from here?

I need a
(Different kind of love)
Yeah, you know that it's true
(Different kind of love)
Yeah, it's bigger than you
And it’s bigger
Yeah, it's bigger

Got a different kind of empathy
I got a different kind of chemistry
I got a different kind of happening
I got a different kind of everything

I got a
(Different kind of love)
Yeah, you know that it's true
(Different kind of love)
I got bigger than you
(Different kind of love)
I think you know that it's true
(Different kind of love)
Yeah, I'm talking to you

"I got a different kind of need to fix all the things
Inside yourself that's wrong, all right?"

6. DO THE CHANNEL BOP

Shut your mouth, can't you see that I'm ignoring you?
Your lips are moving up and down
You're trying to get a message through
But here and now I'm absolutely miles away
I'm thinking of a million things
And none are what you're trying to say

You've got to put me out your misery
You're talking and you're talking and you never shut up (and you're bugging me)
You're wearing on my patience, on my sanity
Here's 50p, go and phone someone that gives a shit
'cause I'm not alone, by myself
So go and talk to someone else

I've got conversation constipation, I just took a small vacation
In silence and thunder and your mouth just put me under
Stall the rage 'cause
All of the good boys and girls in the world do the channel bop
All of the good boys and girls in the world do the channel bop
All of the good boys and girls in the world do the channel bop

Late at night I'd lock myself inside my private room
Until the fighting died and normal service was resumed
And now I'm back, I guess I never really went away
It's kinda cold in here, but it's a welcome stay

So when I choke on the silage that you're puking out
D'ya mind if I see you as vibrato potato (tata?)
Shit out of things that we can talk about
So let's try, "Goodbye", see you round mind if I
Say au revoir, closing down
I tried to warn you, but you're in blab town

I've got conversation constipation, just took a small vacation
In silence and thunder and your mouth just put me under
Stall the rage 'cause
All of the good boys and girls in the world do the channel bop
All of the good boys and girls in the world do the channel bop
All of the good boys and girls in the world do the channel bop

Cold Patootie Tango, Cold Patootie Tango
Cold Patootie Tango, Cold Patootie Tango

'cause I'm not alone, by myself
So go and talk to someone else

I've got conversation constipation, just took a small vacation
In silence and thunder and your mouth just put me under
Stall the rage 'cause
All of the good boys and girls in the world do the channel bop
All of the good boys and girls in the world do the channel bop
All of the good boys and girls in the world do the channel bop
All of the good boys and girls in the world do the channel bop
All of the good boys and girls in the world do the channel bop
All of the good boys and girls in the world do the channel bop
All of the good boys and girls in the world do the…

7. MOOD SWINGS AND ROUNDABOUTS

Up and down, rock and ride
Goes around, goes around
Goes around, goes around

Mood swings and roundabouts
It's all mood and swings and roundabouts
It's all mood swings and roundabouts
It's in your head man
Sort it out

I'm sure that I can't change
Get it up, get around, get it up, get around

Mood swings and roundabouts
It's all mood and swings and roundabouts
It's all mood swings and roundabouts
It's in your head man
Sort it out!

(Fast forward through this bit…) Sort it out!

(I've got a headache...)
Get it up, get it up, get it up, get it up
Get it up, get it up, get it up, oh fuck it!

Mood swings and roundabouts
It's all mood and swings and roundabouts
It's all mood swings and roundabouts
It's in your head man
Sort it out!

"Bastard!"

8. IN LIKE FLYNN

Ah yes, it's just like the time
Back in '89
They said "you'll be fine"
Just suck a little dick!

And the standards are fine, I want more
Gonna open the bargains in store
Why the hell did they wanna sign me?
I'm a liability
Goodbye EastWest,
God bless The Wildhearts!

In like Flynn, in out in, in like Flynn
In like Flynn, in out in
In like Flynn, in out in, in like Flynn
In like Flynn, in out in
In like Flynn

Oh no, it's that time again
When you realise, just a bit too late...
(Sounds familiar)

And we do what we said we would do
And we proved we were better than you
Now you pick out the fence from your arse
And you dream of pop stars
In our souls we trusted...

In like Flynn, in out in, in like Flynn
In like Flynn, in out in
In like Flynn, in out in, in like Flynn
In like Flynn, in out in
In like Flynn, in out in, in like Flynn
In like Flynn, in out in
In like Flynn, in out in, in like Flynn
In like Flynn, in out in
In like Flynn

"…and apart from spending a day on the streets, he could expect his greeting answered by a barrage of curses, for no apparent reason at all. Two men were utterly fascinated, completely enthralled by the language, and that was the remarkable fact considering that Mr. Sweet was admired by practically nobody else for Mr. Sweet was anything but sweet, and thus the world came to love a grumpy old man… They were insufficiently glorious either to redeem their author or to mitigate the self-destructive side effects of his… his poisonous personality. But guess what? Once upon a time there was a bitter man named Sweet. Perhaps the greatest philologist and phonetician: the greatest language expert in the world… For weeks thereafter, Georgie walked about in an idolatrous daze, the brilliant but sour Mr. Sweet died of pernicious anaemia, the misanthropic scholar had to enjoy his new-found admiration, from his grave."

9. SKY BABIES

Back on my planet, they laugh at my jokes
And everyone drinks and everyone smokes
No-one speaks 'less there's something to say
There's no false words, just telecommunique

Back on my planet you cannot tell lies
‘cos everyone can see it by the look in your eyes
Parties that last for a couple of days
No one sleeps ‘cos beds are prohibited

Back on my planet, silence is granted
We're laughing at the earthlings
Back on my planet
Back on my planet

(And meanwhile...)
Back on my planet where dinosaurs roam
With uncut TV beaming into your home
Is Mother Nature being eager and free?
Money don't talk just giving ability

Back on my planet, rules are all slanted
We're tokin' to be broken
Back on my planet
Back on my planet
Back on my planet

Take a trip down an open road
And the eyes on an evening star
Gets to move a bit closer to the ground
Like night at play
Wanna know what I need to know
Wanna see that we ain't in charge
Where the superpowers will try to run it down
All alone, you're not alone
'cos it's a meeting time for a different neighbour
Small and slight and grey
There's something going on
There's something going on
There's something going on

Look into those eyes
It comes as no surprise
“It's little more than Science Fiction”
The Government replies
They could be taking our daughters
They could be taking our ladies
Making sky babies
Sky babies
Sky babies

I, I'm looking at the sky tonight
Everything clear defined
Just like the last time
All ideas inside my head
Anything like a real one
I'm looking from the floor tonight
Weary of humankind
Tired of the chains that bind
Wasting time on diatribe

And all the time the walls are closing in
I'm feeling stuck inside again
When something more divine than suicide
More generous than fate
‘cos when I get to see a new sun arise
I'll be myself blame it on the other side
I’ll slip away, I’ll do it with ease
I'll take a cheap seat, please

‘cos you're the only one thing I wanna know
So won't you take me with you when you go?
And there’s a million feelings I wanna show
If you take me with you when you go

Yesterday’s dreams don’t mean nothing it seems
‘cos the big life keeps them waiting
And the people we find with a polythene mind
They just don't care at all
And the halcyon days are fearless and staged
As a memory plays it one more time
Here today, gone tomorrow

This is it in layman's terms
Phenomenon of UFOs
Is well acknowledged by the States
But secret to the President
Employed to be a public face
And keep the public feeling safe
But higher powers in the Government
Hide something a million times
The size of the killing of JFK
The CIA are aware that higher powers
Exist with untold knowledge of
Life and death dimension it could
Alter public awareness of religion
Which is the only faith that
Keeps us all in true control
And that's why we can never know

They’re shaking, and they're fucking us again

'cos you're the only one thing I wanna know
So won't you take me with you when you go?
And there's a million feelings I wanna show
If you take me with you when you go
'cos you're the only one thing I wanna know
If you take me with you when you go
And there's a million feelings I wanna show
If you take me with you when you go

10. NITE SONGS

Warm and dark and the mood is low
I try to think of a better place I'd like to go

All alone in a room of rest
The kind of night that I almost hope would never end

Up in bed with my night songs
Summer fun with the radio on
Up in bed with my night songs
Feeling right where nothing is wrong
Nothing could be this good
Nothing here ever could
It's bigger than Hollywood
