1.spanish metal
How could we not notice it before?
Well you may as well have pinned it to my door
Well lately I'm so oh so slowly coming around
To the fact that this friend is a friend no more
And if you think you're right then you are wrong
No one ever really knew what's going on
Now we're all so slowly coming around
And this friend of a friend was no friend all along
The penny drops from the top of Tour Eiffel
Through the boulevards to Taj Mahal
A penny more through the floor of Sacre Coeur
From the Spanish mane to the Yorkshire moors
2.never miss a beat
What did you learn today?
I learned nothin
What did you do today?

What did you learn at school?

3.like it too much
In nights of old, they lie in the roads.
Off with their heads,
and always lead opinion polls.
Going in and out of, another state of,
try not to be obvious, with the ringside seats.
In uniforms,
of green and gold,
Like crocodiles they march in files of unison.
Going in and out of, another state of,
try not to be obvious, with the ringside seats.
Going in and out of, another state of,
try not to be obvious, you get the first one free.
I like it too much, I like it too much.
I like it too much, I like it too much.
Coz you are, descended from animals,
and you are constructed of chemicals.
The one thing you cant have,
you lie too much.
You look but you cannot touch.
Like dominoes, one only goes.
They all fall, sail the ship, rock the boat.
Going in and out of, another state of,
try not to be obvious, with the ringside seats.
Going in and out of, another state of,
try not to be obvious, you get the first one free.
I like it too much I like it too much.
I like you it much I like it too much.
Coz you are, descended from animals,
and you are constructed of chemicals.
The one thing you cant have,
you lie too much.
You look but you cannot touch.
I like it all too much.
Coz you are, descended from animals,
and you are constructed of chemicals.
The one thing you can't have,
you lie too much.
You look but you cannot touch.
I like it all too much.
4.you want history
Yesterday you lay awake on your bed,
and worked out you'd done everything that you said,
that you knew therefore you'd got to be saved,
the lord of the bored and a slave to her ....(wage?)
It's a mystery
It's a mystery
You want some history
It's a mystery
So last night you got up and out of this room,
the ceiling is peeling and covered in gloom,
jaguar shoes is the best you deserve
decision, a lesson you ought not to learn.
It's a mystery
It's a mystery
You want history
It's a mystery
Today as you shake off the drunken degree,
all that is left is the faint memory,
the downing,the drugs,all the nights on the tiles,
it's hard to remember but totally worthwhile.
It's a mystery
It's a mystery
You want some history
It's a mystery
It's a waste of money
you have to admit
and its a waste of money
you have to have it?
It's a waste of freedom
you have to resist
if you're wanting history
You've got it
It's a waste of money
you have to admit
and its a waste of money
you have to have it?
It's a waste of freedom
you have to resist
if you're wanting history
You've missed it
Don't stop moving
You mustn't stop moving
You can't stop moving
you must join in
Don't stop moving
You mustn't stop moving
You can't stop moving
you must join in
Don't stop moving
You mustn't stop moving
You can't stop moving
you must join in
Don't stop moving
You mustn't stop moving
You can't stop moving
you must join in
oh oh oh-oh-oh oh oh oh bit
5.can't say what i mean
Well, nothing I said's so important
That it can't be shortened
To fit on a badge
I wish that I could be God
Try to deliver a soundbite
But it is the catch
I can't say what I mean
I can't say what I mean
Everybody applauds her
From the lord to the hordes
And the nation is swept
By a one-to-one conversation
In adult education
I would tell her except
I can't say what I mean
I can't say what I mean
I can't say what I mean
Do you know
When you go
I get all tounge tied
I'm the same
All the game
Oh and you were right
Can't say you're unattractive
But I'm out of practice
In this sort of thing
It's not like I'm talking Italian
Or I wear a medallion
And a sovereign ring
I can't say what I mean
I can't say what I mean
I can't say what I mean
Do you know
When you go
I get all tounge tied
I'm the same
All the game
Oh and you were right
What a face
What a face
Can you blame me for pulling a face
What a waste
What a face
Great things can be expressed
In fifteen words or less
And bring that to your heart
Words just don't do it justice
The world and its crust
Is still drifting apart
I can't say what I mean
I can't say what I mean
I can't say what I mean
Do you know
When you go
I get all tounge tied
I'm the same
All the game
Oh and you were right
Do you know
When you go
I get all tounge tied
I'm the same
All the game
Oh and you were right
What a face
What a face
Can you blame me for pulling a face
What a waste
What a face
6.good days bad days
Follow the underdog
Hold on his collar tight
This city loves a scrap
One day it's gonna bite
Sticks and stones and animal bones
Can't stop me from having a good day
On a bad day
There's good days and bad days
Making a night of it
Breaking down barriers
Drowning your sorrows
Upset the regulars
Sticks and stones and animal bones
Can't stop me from getting away with
Good days on bad days
If you had a different attitude
Instead of take and take and take
You have missed an opportunity
And that's a really big mistake
If you had a different attitude
You'd still have good days and bad days
7.tomato in the rain
Like a tomato in the rain
I got that feeling again
Like a greyhound in a race
I've got a rabbit to chase
Roll under me no ones going down
You got the remedy, what's going around?
Like a beetle on its back
I've got to get back on track
Or a police man on a tape
Waiting down in the lane
If the wheel comes off your car
Hammer it and nail it or 2
Before it falls apart
Add more nails and glue
Yes I do know about you
Shall I come home?
Yes I do know about you
Shall I come home?
I got that feeling again
I got that feeling again
Roll around with me, no ones going down
You got our memories it all comes back around
Yes I do know about you
Shall I come home?
Yes I do know about you
Shall I come home?
8.half the truth
Girl and boy
Everythin' in full swing
Heads or tails
Doesn't make a difference
Beneath the glamour
There was always gonna be
Amateur dramatics
Alot of bad behavior
I would see
Glasses on the table
One, two, three
Only you and me
Wearing nothin'
In the lap of luxury
Sip it slowly
Not a leg to stand on
Take my money
Twist our paper
Leave the table
Bad behaviour
I got my spies
Swift to every consultlate
Be my eyes
Tell me what i never see
Cos a ghost
Dont fear a lover
Nothin' teath blank ah
Get ready for the credit clubber
Secret moore
Gettin' it together
With a big fat bowl
Of alphabet spaghetti
Watch the birdie
Lookin' through the mirror
Polly wanna cracker
Thats not what i heard
Take my money
Twist our paper
Leave the table
Bad behaviour
I will not lie to you
But I defiantly only gave you half the truth
I will not lie to you ooo ooo
I will not lie to you
But I defiantly only gave you half the truth
I will not lie to you ooo ooo
Gentlemen
Turn off your recorders
I can hear them buzzin'
From inside of you're tracksuits
Got to get
To California
Where this woman is
Threatening to sue me
Get right back
Back to the beginning
Where we start off single
And everythin' in full swing
Everyone
Around you wearing big gold hatscome on
Playin the piano now
Take my money
Twist our paper
Leave the table
Bad behaviour
I will not lie to you
But I defiantly only gave you half the truth
I will not lie to you ooo ooo
I will not lie to you
But I defiantly only gave you half the truth
I will not lie to you ooo ooo
Listen... I wont lie
So baby dont cry
The way I'm feeling right now
I'm feeling so high
I cant tell you the truth
Baby you know why
Cause everybody talks about me
I'm a known guy
I'll tell you half the truth
At least I told you half
For all the rest of it
I'll tell you if you only ask
Cause I'm a gold digga
And I should know better
I will not lie to you
But I defiantly only gave you half the truth
I will not lie to you ooo ooo
I will not lie to you
I will not lie to you
I will not lie to you
9.always happens like that
10.addicted to drugs
Woahhhh
Yeahhhhh
Woahhhh
Getting married in the morning
It's hardly peaches and cream
We haven't got a lot in common
Except the daily routine
Nothing on the Television
Just the dust on the screen
So, come on let's get together
Why don't we join a team?
You might as well face it you're addicted to drugs
You might as well face it your addicted
You might as well face it you're addicted to drugs
You might as well face it your addicted

11.remember you're a girl
Pick the one you like
Love the one you're with
You're going down the wrong road
And it doesn't even matter
A prize in every pack
Take it from the top
You're going down the wrong road
And it doesn't even matter
Remember you're a girl, remember you're a boy
Cause interesting people always spread the joy
Interesting people, get away with it
It's time to run the race
We're all on the way
Going down the wrong road
and it doesn't even matter
Show up on the day
Take it all the way
Youre living in the wrong time
but it doesn't even matter
Forget that you're a boy, forget that you're a girl
Cause interesting people always rule the world
Interesting people get away with it
All the time
Ooooh, ooooooh
