We can't hear the backing track…
The cowboy song

That Richard Branson
I'll tell you about Richard Branson…

clipy ty clop clipy ty clop clipy ty clop

clipy ty clop clipy ty clop clipy ty clop
clipy ty clop clipy ty clop clipy ty clop

Home

I got the oven repaired
This was security in luxury
Home is where the heart is
The daily paper and the carpet

My body burns
My body needs to follow suit
Blind lead the blind
From Russia with love
I look good in dust

Shadow in the back of the hall
The images of everyone
Isn't nature such a wonderful thing
Spreading all over the world
By geography
I'm not a stranger

My fingers burn
My body burns
I'm practising
I'm separating

I look good in dust

My body burns
My body needs to follow suit
Blind lead the blind
From Russia with love
I look good in dust

I look good in dust

Spreading all over the world

I got the oven repaired
This was security in luxury
Home is where the heart is
The daily paper and the carpet

My body burns

Shadow in the back of the hall
The images of everyone
Isn't nature such a wonderful thing
Spreading all over the world
By geography
I'm not a stranger

My fingers burn
My body burns
I'm practising
I'm separating

I've had enough

Can't go wrong
If you drag along

Can't go wrong
If you call no one

Can't go wrong
If you drag along

Can't go wrong
If you call no one

Pied Piper lead you to the water
Pied Piper lead you to the water

Can't go wrong
If you drag along

Can't go wrong
If you call no one

Can't go wrong
If you drag along

Can't go on
Drove along

Pied Piper lead you to the water

Can't go wrong
If you drag along

Can't go wrong
If you go along

Pied Piper lead you to the water
Pied Piper lead you to the water

Can't go wrong
If you drag along

Can't go on
If I drag along

Can't go on
If I drag along

Pied Piper lead me to the water
Pied Piper lead me to the water

Pied Piper lead me to the water

Can't go on
If I drag along

Can't go on
If I sing along

Can't go on
If I drag along

Pied Piper lead me to the water
Pied Piper lead me to the water
Pied Piper lead me to the water
Pied Piper lead me to the water
Pied Piper lead me to the water

Pied piper

Someone made the story up
I tell the truth
It wasn't me
Let me in
I wont be long
Open doors
Feel the draft
Someone made the story up the next day

Being here
Is not enough

Another
Another
Another

I tell the truth
It wasn't me
Follow the leader
I can't be patient
I am a shadow
Coming
Another
Another

Another
Another
Another
Another
Another…

As dumb is an actor
Something is wanting
Within
Real as a statue
Sent to refract you
Easy
Another

Being here
Is not enough
Being here
Is not enough
Let me in

Another
Another

SELFISH RUBBISH

(Dias/Edmonds/Lydon/McGeoch/Smith)
Published by EMI 10 Music Ltd
© Virgin Records 1987


Everything in life should be free
Except the bits that belong to me
Sick to death of paying out money
What the hell
Has this place done for me
Nothing

Give, give, give me everything
Give
Give
Give (repeat)
I want everything
Give me everything
I want the lot

There's not much left of this cunt-ry
Sell it off as a freehold property
And move into a new vicinity
One that does not have a history

Give, give, give me everything
Give
Give
Give (repeat)
I want everything
Give me everything
I want the lot

If I ruled the world
There'd be no one in it

This place has come
Apart at the seam
The bulldog's had his day
And so have we
We need to see some scenic scenery
No more of this boring misery

Give, give, give me everything
Give
Give
Give (repeat)
I want everything
Give me everything
I want the lot

If I ruled the world, there'd be no one in it

 

CRIMINAL

Like a criminal

Did you think it could be like on TV
Where you could be big in your own movie
Did real life let you down
A genuine Pygmalion

Criminal
Like a criminal
No
No good to anyone
Foolish
Gotta get a life and get sensible
No
No pity
No pardon

Criminal
Just a criminal

Could've been a factor
Could've been another distracter
Some like it in limousines
I like it in a tractor
Solo
Separate
Not just one of a crowd
Indifferent to compliment
I leave my funeral ground

Criminal
Like a criminal
No
No good to anyone
Foolish
Gotta get a life
And get sensible
No
No pity
No pardon

Criminal
Like a criminal
No
No pity
No pardon
Just a criminal

Haven't got a clue
Cannot comprehend
Anything you value
I'm probably just like you
Yes I haven't got a clue

Just let that Judas goat
Lead you down that narrowing path
As affluence is your influence
You'll be of no consequence

Criminal
Like a criminal
No
No good to anyone
Foolish
Gotta get a life
Gotta get sensible
No
No pity
No pardon

Criminal
Like a criminal
No
No pity
No pardon

Yes I haven't got a clue
Just a criminal

I can not comprehend anything you value

Probably just like you
Yes
I haven't got a clue
I cannot comprehend anything you value
