| Anarchy in the U.K. | |
|
Right! now ha, ha
I am an anti-christ
I am an anarchist,
Don't know what I want
But I know how to get it.
I wanna destroy the passer by
'cos I wanna be anarchy,
Ho dogs body
Anarchy for the uk
It's coming sometime and maybe
I give a wrong time stop a traffic line.
Your future dream is a shopping scheme
Cause I wanna be anarchy,
It's in the city
How many ways to get what you want
I use the best I use the rest
I use the enemy.
I use anarchy
'cause I wanna be anarchy,
Its the only way to be
Is this the mpla
Or is this the uda
Or is this the ira
I thought it was the uk
Or just another country
Another council tenancy.
I wanna be an anarchist
(oh what a name)
And l wanna be an anarchist
(I get pissed destroy)

| I Wanna Be Me | |
|
Turn the page and it's the scoop of the century
Don't wanna be l seven I had enough of this
This is brainwash and this is a clue
To the stars who fooled you
Tell me why you cant explain
You're only looking for vinyl yeah
Didn't they fool you they wanna be you
Gimme world war 3 we can live again
You didn't fool me but I fooled you
You wanna be me yeah you wanna be me
You wanna be someone yeah ruin someone
Yeah, didn't I fool you I ruined you yeah
Didn't I fool you I sussed you out
I got you in the camera and I got you in my camera
A second of your life ruined for life
You wanna ruin me in your magazine
You wanna cover us in margarine
And now is the time to realize to have real eyes
Down down down down and I'll take you down on the underground
Down in the dark and down in the crypt
Down in the dark where the typewriter fit
Down with your pen and pad ready to kill to make me ill
Down wanna be someone wanna be someone
Make it as someone you wanna be me ruin me
A typewriuter God a black and white king
Pvc blackboard books black and white
I wanna be me

| God Save the Queen | |
|
God save the queen her fascist regime
It made you a moron a potential h bomb !
God save the queen she ain't no human being
There is no future in england's dreaming
Don't be told what you want don't be told what you need
There's no future no future no future for you
God save the queen we mean it man (God save window leen)
We love our queen God saves (God save... human beings)
God save the queen cos tourists are money
And our figurehead is not what she seems
Oh God save history God save your mad parade
Oh lord God have mercy all crimes are paid
When there's no future how can there be sin
We're the flowers in the dustbin
We're the poison in your human machine
We're the future your future
God save the queen we mean it man
There is no future in england's dreaming
No future for you no future for me
No future no future for you

| Did You No Wrong | |
|
I don't mind the things that you say
I don't even mind going out of my way
I try and do these things for you
Why should I do it
I'm always untrue
Well, I did you no wrong
I did you no wrong
Going out of your head
I ain't seen you off the screen
But those films are my dreams
And I can't take much more of you
'cause the bog is no place
To see your face
Can't you see I'm out of my head
Oh can't you see I'm a little insane
Oh can't you see I'm really dead
Going down, down, out of my head
I did you no wrong
I did you no wrong ! ha ha ha !
Going out of my head...

| Pretty Vacant | |
|
There's no point in asking us you'll get no reply
Oh just remenber a don't decide
I got no reason it's all too much
You'll always find us
Out to lunch !
Oh we're so pretty oh so pretty vacant
But now and we don't care
Don't ask us to attend cos we're not all there
Oh don't pretend cos I don't care
I don't believe illusions cos too much is real
So stop your cheap comment
Cos we know what we feel
We're pretty pretty vacant
We're pretty pretty vay-cunt
And we don't care

| No Fun | |
|
No fun, my babe no fun
No fun, my babe no fun
No fun to hang around
Feeling that same old way
No fun to hang around
Freaked out for another day
No fun, my babe no fun
No fun, my babe no fun
No fun to be alone
Walking by my self
No fun to be alone
In love with nobody else
Well, maybe go out, maybe stay home
Maybe call mom on the telephone
Well, come on, well, come on
Well, come on, well, come on
Well, come on, well, come on
Well, come on, well, come on
No fun to be alone
No fun to be alone
Hang on, don´t let me go
No fun to be alone

| Holidays in the Sun | |
|
A cheep holiday in other peoples misery!
I don't wanna holiday in the sun I wanna go to new belsen I wanna see some
History 'cause now I got a reasonable economy
Now I got a reason, now I got a reason now I got a reason and I'm still waiting
Now I got a reason now I got reason to be waiting the berlin wall
Sensurround sound in a two inch wall well I was waiting for the communist call
I didn't ask for sunshine and I got world war three I'm looking over the wall
And they're looking at me
Now I got a reason, now I got a reason now I got a reason and I'm still waiting
Now I got a reason, now I got a reason to be waiting the berlin wall
Well they're staring all night and they're staring all day I had no reason to
Be here at all but now I gotta reason it's no real reason and I'm waiting at
The berlin wall
Gotta go over the berlin wall I don't understand it.... I gotta go over the
Wall I don't understand this bit at all....
Claustropfobia there's too much paranoia there's too many closets I went in
Before and now I gotta reason, it's no real reason to be waiting the berlin wall
Gotta go over the berlin wall I don't understand it.... I gotta go over the
Wall I don't understand this bit at all...
Please don't be waiting for me

| My Way | |
|
(anka-revaux-francois-thibault-arr. s. jeffes)
And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
You cunt, i´m not a queer
I´ll state my case, of which i´m certain
I´ve lived a life that´s full
And each and every highway
And yet, much more than this
I did it my way
And yes, i´ve had a few
But then again, too few to mention
But dig, what I have to fo
I´ll see it through with no devotion
Of that, take care and just
Be careful along the highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way
There were times, i´m sure you knew
When there was nothing fucking else to do
But through it all, when there was doubt
I shot it up or kicked it out
I fought the just as before
And did it my way
Knocked out in bed last night
I´ve had my fill, my share of looting
And now, the tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think, I killed a cat
And may I say, oh no, not their way
But no, no, not me
I did it my way
For what is a brat, what has he got
When he finds out that he cannot
Say the things he truly thinks
But only the words, not what he feels
The record shows, i´ve got no clothes
And did it my way

| Something Else | |
|
Look at that
Here she comes
Here comes that girl again
One of the cutest since I don't know when
But she don't notice me when I pass
She goes with all the guys from outta my class
But that can't stop me from thinkin' to myself
She's sure fine lookin', man, she's something else
Look at that
'cross the street
There's a car built just for me
To own a car would be a luxury
But right now I can't afford the gas
A brand new convertible is out of my class
But that can't stop me from thinkin' to myself
That car's fine lookin', man, it's something else
Hey, look at that
Just wait and see
Worked hard and saved my dough
I buy that car and then I roll up with joe
Get me that girl and we go ridin' around
We look real sharp with the wide top down
I keep on dreamin' and thinkin' to myself
When it all comes true, man, that's something else
Hey, look at that
What's all this?
Never thought I'd do this before
But here I'm a-knockin' on her door
My car's out front and it's all mine
It's a '41 job not a '59
I got that girl and I'm thinkin' to myself
She's sure fine lookin', man, she's something else

| Silly Thing | |
|
What you see, you can't get,
nothing's free, nothing's set,
Don't be fooled by the signs,
don't read in-between the lines.
What you gonna say,
what you gonna do,
man you missed out once again,
but i thought you knew.
Chorus
Oh you silly thing, you've really gone and done it now,
Oh you silly thing, you've really gone and done it now,
Trouble here, trouble there,
people stop, just to stare,
what's the use of wasting time,
just move on leave it all behind.
What you gonna say,
what you gonna do,
man you missed out once again,
but i thought you knew.
Oh you silly thing, you've really gone and done it now,
Oh you silly thing, you've really gone and done it now,
oh you silly thing, nothing but trouble that you bring,
and one of these days you're gonna die,
and people will say oh my oh my,
and people will say oh my my my.
Oh you silly thing, you've really gone and done it now,
Oh you silly thing, you've really gone and done it now,
Oh you silly thing, you've really gone and done it now,
Oh you silly thing, you've really gone and done it now.

| C'mon Everybody | |
|
Well c'mon everybody and let's get together tonight
I got some money in my jeans
And I'm really gonna spend it right
Well I've been doin' my homework all week long
Now to have some fifty and my folk are gone
Ooh! c'mon everybody
Oh well, my baby's number one
But I'm gonna dance with three or four
And the house will be shakin' from the bare feet
A-stampin' on the floor
Well when you here the music, you can't still
If your brother won't rock, your sister will
Ooh! c´mon everybody
Oh well, we really haven't money
But we gotta put a guard outside
If the folks come home
I'm afraid, they're gonna have my hide
There'd be no more movies for a week or two
No more runnin' 'round with the usual crew-who cares?
C'mon everybody

| Great Rock 'N' Roll Swindle | |
|
People said we couldnīt play
The called us foul-mothed yobs
But the only notes that really count
Are the ones that come in wads
They all drowned when the air turned blue
īcos we didnīt give a toss
Filthy lucre, ainīt nothing new
But we all get cash from the chaos
The time is right to do it now
The greatest rockīnīroll swindle
The time is right to do it now
E.m.i. said youīre out of hand
And they gave us the boot
But they couldnīt sack us, just like that
Without giving us the loot
Thank you kindly a & m
They said we were out of bounds
But that ainīt bad for two weeks work
And 75,000 pounds
The time is right to do it now
The greatest rockīnīroll swindle
The time is right to do it now
The time is right to do it now
The greatest rockīnīroll swindle
The time is right to do it now
I just wanna play with my hand
Are you good enough for me
Hiya boys iīm the choosen one
Canīt you fucking see
Iīm a jealous God and I want everything
And I love you with a knife
Iīll take you, if youīre ready for me
And iīll give you my life
The time is right to do it now
The greatest rockīnīroll swindle
The time is right to do it now
The time is right for nickeyīs special
The greatest rockīnīroll star
The time is right for me, now!
