Lyrics

Late September you walked into my life
I remember the autumn, I remember that night
That smile on your face, the pale pale moon
All these good times still left to come

Awoke by a phone call, one cold night
In my dream you had been going to die
I felt so scared that I was going to lose you
When I answered the phone I already knew

I cried bitter tears you had taken your own life

Down the corridor to the bedroom
I sit there in silence all alone
And alone is all I'll ever be
Except at night when you visit my dreams
And it tears my mind I can't see you tomorrow.

Jack Names The Planets

Lyrics

We were walking, walking in two worlds
In the gardens of sunlight home
Bad children on the phone
Withheld me to withhold you

I said I'd kiss you, if you want
You've got things back to front
I got a letter, I sent it back
I didn't like it, what you had

Jack Names The Planets after you
Jack Names The Planets after you
Jack Names The Planets after you hoo
You hoo

When I turned, you had gone away
So I didn't skip upon that day
Morose feelings, small mind
Don't touch his face, you might like his kind

I said I'd kiss you, if you want
You've got things back to front
Don't mind your spelling, it ain't so bad
Things like that they never made me quite so mad as you
Jack Names The Planets after you
Jack Names The Planets after you
Jack Names The Planets after you hoo
You hoo

Jack Names The Planets after you
Jack Names The Planets after you
Jack Names The Planets after you hoo
You hoo

I wish you'd come back, everything's ready for you
You are welcome, if you plan to
You can come walking, and you know where
You've got to understand, that you got to care

I said I'd kiss you, if you want
You've got things back to front
My mother's dying, I've got to go home
But there's more you won't be solely on your own

Jack Names The Planets after you
Jack Names The Planets after you
Jack Names The Planets after you hoo
You hoo
You hoo
You hoo
You hoo
You hoo
You hoo
You hoo

Intense Thing

Lyrics

Now it's too late to be using my mind, yeah
To reason with you would be far too kind, yeah
It's all coming down like the dark on the town, yeah
The cold stings my tearstained face, yeah

So now it's all over -
It's much too late to say 'Oh no!'

I try not to echo everyone's dreams, yeah
But they don't exist or so it seems, yeah
They just live inside of me, yeah
But I'm so dark I can never ever see you, yeah

And now it's all over -
It's much too late to say 'Oh no!'
Oh, she looked so lovely, standing on her own,
Oh, she looked so lonely, standing all alone

She looked at me as she closed the door, yeah
A stare so cold, but god, what for, yeah?
I fell in love as she crossed the floor, yeah
I need her now but she hates me more, yeah

And now it's all over -
It's much too late to say 'Oh no!'

And, oh, she looked so lovely, standing on her own,
And, oh, she looked so lonely, standing all alone
And, oh, she left me lonely, standing on my own

The days have passed so greatly
Gone for oh, so long

Uncle Pat

Lyrics

I set off this morning
Down the road along the river
Which I take but once a year
My walk will take me by the shore
Then inland for a mile or more
From the cold sea spray

A small wood stands upon the hill
An old house near it lies in ruins
Forgotten long ago
And here in a clearing, overgrown with moss and ivy
Is your lonely grave

At dusk I will make my way
Along the lanes and through the fields
To where my cottage is
Before I step inside for bed
I'll look up at the stars as we had
All those years ago

So here's for Uncle Pat

Get Out

Lyrics

Message from Mr. Waterman: 'Hi, you guys rock my world!'

Get your money out,
Get your money out,
Get your money out, all for me

If you get it out,
Get it all out,
Get it all out and you'll see

You've got so much to give, you've got so much to lose
It might seem just a little unfair, but then you'll see that you cannot choose

Take your time out,
Take your time out,
Take your time out all for me,

If you get it out,
Get it all out,
Get it all out and you'll see

You've got so much to give, you've got so much to lose
It might seem just a little unfair, but then you'll see that you cannot choose

Get yourself out,
Get yourself out,
Get yourself out for me

If you get it out,
Get it all out,
Get it all out and you'll see

You've got so much to give, you've got so much to lose
It might seem just a little unfair, but then you'll see that you cannot choose
You've got so much to give, you've got so much to lose
It might seem just a little unfair, but then you'll see that you cannot choose

Petrol

Lyrics

The cars come up the drive, too many people inside,
Under the stars they smile, they want to invade my home
I pace the darkened hall, I try to consider it all
In the dull, lamps glow and the truth is I don't - know!

The cars stop outside, they all stay inside
The house is drenched in light, but what have I done wrong?
I quietly climb the stairs, I remember all the years
I check everything is right, I need to hurry - now!

I've been preparing for days, I know exactly what to say:
'No one will be around, no one will take me down'
They'll all get in back in the cars, and maybe they'll go home
But the things they'll never know, like where it is I - go!

Obscure Thing

Lyrics

Various gurgling, moaning, wailing, groaning, murmuring, whimpering, crying, whining, babbling, spluttering, roaring, shouting, screaming, and any other synonyms courtesy of Tim & Rick

Hulk Hogan Bubble Bath

Lyrics

Various mumblings, from Rock (Rick)
various ramblings, from Tom (Tim)
and various rumblings, from Mork (Mark)
Something along the lines of:

Way
On our way
All away
And before I say

I watched the television
From my seat
Beside my bed

Darkness had just fallen
And I
Felt all shite
I felt the winter coming
But alone again

Different Today

Lyrics

He spent the weekend at his friend's house
It had been ages since they'd been in touch
The weekend passed in a drunken haze
It felt good, like the old days

I lied, you're not so different today
Don't go not so far away
And without you, my life is boring
Anyway
They went down to the station on Sunday
He felt sad as the train pulled away
And he wished that it would never end
He knew he'd never see him again

I lied, you're not so different today
Don't go not so far away
And without you, my life is boring
Anyway

I lied, you're not so different today
Don't go not so far away
I lied, you're not so different today
Don't go not so far away

Punkboy

Lyrics

Who's that boy with the honey face,
Looks like he should be sedated
He's all smash and grab in his Adidas tags,
Wound up and agitated
And I bet he's not a real punk boy
I bet he's not a real punk boy
I bet he's not a real punk boy!

Does your heart go boom when he walks in the room?
Do rain clouds scatter and fall?
Do you feel yourself sigh when he passes you by?
Or do you grow a hundred feet tall?
D'you go bang shang alang, every time you see him?
D'you go bang shang alang, every time you're near him?
D'you go bang shang alang, every time you hear him?
'Cos if you don't he's not a real punk boy
If you don't he's not a real punk boy
If you don't he's not a real punk boy at all!

Who's that boy with the ocean green eyes?
In Rough Trade every Saturday
Don't he look cute in his Eighties track suit?
I wish I hadn't thrown mine away
And I bet he's not a real punk boy
I bet he's not a real punk boy
I bet he's not a real punk boy!

Do the stars explode when he walks you home
On a cool and clear evening?
D'you wanna put him on like your favourite song?
Or never wanna hear him?
D'you go bang shang alang, every time you see him
D'you go bang shang alang, every time you're near him
D'you go bang shang alang, every time you hear him
'Cos if you don't he's not a real punk boy
If you don't he's not a real punk boy
If you don't he's not a real punk boy at all!

Day Of The Triffids

Lyrics

In the mid-day heat I gave a sigh
Cruisin' through the garden district, I was out of my mind

The Star of India's in my hotel room
In a briefcase combination: 3, 2, 1 (which only I know)

And I've just seen my mentor, Dr. No
"California Sun" is on the radio (let's go)

I just wanna reach the radio star
I just wanna reach the radio star
It's a satellite off Venus and it ain't too far
I just wanna reach the radio star

I was shooting up in my hotel room
When the phone started ringing - oh no (I told him to f*** off)

It was Dr. No, he gave the password
He said, 'Hey, man, haven't you heard?' (and I said 'No')

The world's been invaded by alien life forms
I'll meet you at the airport, we've got to get out (let's go)

I just wanna reach the radio star
I just wanna reach the radio star
It's a satellite off Venus and it ain't too far
I just wanna reach the radio star

I just wanna reach the radio star
I just wanna reach the radio star
It's a satellite off Venus and it ain't too far
I just wanna reach the radio star
(10)... (9)... (8) I ran to the window and looked out
there were dead people lying all over the streets, man.

So, within two minutes I had all my stuff together. (7)

I jumped in my car and was speeding down the highway,
past all the deserted cars.

In five minutes (6) I was at the airport but there at the gates
I saw what I suppose was one of these 'alien life forms'.

I pulled my bazooka (5) out of its bag in the back of the car and blew it to hell.

As arranged, Dr. No was waiting for me (4) in the terminal.

We got in his private jet plane and took off
two hours later landing in Zaire, where we met up with Fu Manchu,
(3) Hannibal Lecter, the Hooded Claw and all the rest of the gang.

We boarded the rocket and soon we were shooting off for the stars
(2) and as we approached the space station I looked down and observed the earth,
the US air force being annihilated (1) and swarms of nuclear weapons soaring
(we have lift-off!) through the stratosphere destroying the earth

And I swear to God I laughed.

(Congratulations you guys!)

I just wanna reach the radio star
I just wanna reach the radio star
It's a satellite off Venus and it ain't too far
I just wanna reach the radio star

I just wanna reach the radio star
I just wanna reach the radio star
It's a satellite off Venus and it ain't too far
I just wanna reach the radio star
