1.Foreign cow
So she waltzes by
Her sky is as high as sky
The apple of her eye
She doesn't even try
She knows she's a foreign cow
She knows it and how
She knows she's a foreign cow
She knows it and how
You give them shit
And they take it
Spend a little energy just for kicks
But remember for a second
That you're not Bill Hicks
Give a little bit
You know there's time for it
Give a little bit
You know you want it
Give a little bit
You know you're gonna be sick
Of slapping everyone around
Freedom is the key
Just how free do you wanna be
She's taken it too far
Now she wants a bigger car
She knows she's a foreign cow
She knows it and how
She knows she's a foreign cow
She knows it and how
Royalty doesn't make you sound
Spend a little money on a house in town
Don't you know your face is ugly
When you pull that frown
Give a little bit
You know there's time for it
Give a little bit
You know you want it
Give a little bit
You know you're gonna be sick
Of slapping everyone around
I want a piece of that pie
And no-one's gonna take it away
And if you cross my path
You know I'm gonna hate you
You know I'm gonna hate you all day
Give a little bit
You know there's time for it
Give a little bit
You know you want it
Give a little bit
You know you're gonna be sick
Of slapping everyone around
Give a little bit
You know there's time for it
Give a little bit
You know you want it
Give a little bit
You know you're gonna be sick
Of slapping everyone around X3
2.Written by a man
Get a boy with a toy
He'll never cease to amaze you
And every time he makes you smile
He'll never cease to please you
So get a boy as a toy
He'll never cease to amaze you
And every time he makes you smile
He'll never cease to please you
And when he leaves you having pleased you
He'll never cease to move you
Now when he calls at your door
He'll never cease to lose you
He was written by a man
Come and get it if you can
He was written by a man
On the side of a far grand grander plan
He was written by a man
Come and get it if you can
If you wanna play then play it safe
Into his hand of this man and his plan
Get a boy plus a toy
He'll never cease to amaze you
And when he smiles he takes his time
He'll never cease to please you
And when he leaves you having pleased you
He'll never cease to move you
Now all the time he gets annoyed
Find someone who loves you
So never mind if you find that
He's walked out on you
Now when he calls at your door
He'll never cease to lose you
He was written by a man
Come and get it if you can
He was written by a man
On the side of a far grand grander plan
He was written by a man
Come and get it if you can
On a count of eight let's participate
With this man and his plan
He was written by a man
Come and get it if you can
He was written by a man
On the side of a far grand grander plan
He was written by a man
Come and get it if you can
If you wanna play then play it safe
Into his hand of this man and his plan
3.Cardboy king
Wait until the caller ends
The conversation with his mother
Then take his place inside the box
And plaster one wall then the other
Pictures do the work of words
Adverts for the modern lover
He's the cardboy king
And he's distributing as always
The girls can stay indoors
And then he visits them in turn
Take a daily risk of up to
A grand and half as much again
He's mapped out his career of sorts
But going nowhere no matter how many men
Will his heart shack up with any of
Polly, Tanya, Kim or Pen
Dear old Pen
He's the cardboy king
And he's distributing as always
The girls can stay indoors
And then he visits them in turn
Messing up the BT decor
Till they've fallen on the floor
Messing up the BT decro
Till they've fallen on the floor
It doesn't go down popular
With the generation libido free
Catch him in the act and they will
Throw him over their collective knee
But seeing wrinkle echo wrinkle
Wouldn't that be lovely ?
Lovely
He's the cardboy king
And he's distributing as always
The girls can stay indoors
And then he visits them in turn
He's the cardboy king
And he's distributing as always
Always distributing
He's the cardboy king
And he's distributing as always
The girls can stay indoors
4.A size more woman than her
It's a magical phase I'm going through
But it means so little without you
Hold my hand and we'll feel better
Let's go outside as the sky goes redder
Other girls don't do it this way
And you knew it otherwise why would you have stayed
All the things that the world keeps bringing
They're very nice but they just mean nothing
Oh - I loved you so
But now I'm back on my feet
My life is really sweet
So don't come begging for more
Cos all I'll do is slam the door
No - you've sunk too low
She's got a wardrobe to please
Thinks you're the bee's knees
And she may have a pretty purr
But I'm a size more woman than her
It's a magical phase I'm going through
Never been so happy without you
Her eyes are blue but her lipstick's faded
Her teeth are nice but her skin is jaded
She's got a front but I'll tell you this much
Underneath is a token cleavage
Got to steer round her lips while kissing
And that's no joke cos her lips are missing
Oh - I wish you'd go
After all you got a girl
But now you know full well
That she can't even count to three
So who's sorry now, well not me
Oh - I wish she'd go
She's got a taster for you
Loves all that you do
But you can't rest your head in her curves
Cos I'm a size more woman than her .....
5.Yeah yeah
Step outside the house and leg it into town
It's snowing now, the air is growing cold
I rubbed the dirt and stared in through the windowpane
I almost lost my mind - ooh yeah
They take you home and show you the street
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Got a lot of places where your friends all meet
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
And I don't care if you got long air
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Your mum's all right when she's out of the fight
She says you is mine but I don't know that's right
Go into the public house and drink them blind
Get kicked out and wake up in the road
When I peered inside with my binoculars
I almost lost my mind - ooh yeah
They take you home and show you the street
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Got a lot of places where your friends all meet
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
And I don't care if you got long air
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Your mum's all right when she's out of the fight
She says you is mine but I don't know that's right
They take you home and show you the street
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Got a lot of places where your friends all meet
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
And I don't care if you got long air
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Your mum's all right when she's out of the fight
She says you is mine but I don't know that's right
6.Wanna be free
And you say that you wanna be free
But you can't cos you're looking at me
Hold you tight in my arms and you'll see
I am the one
Awake in sweat, the air is hot and thick
And the pillow's wet, I'm feeling kind of sick
You're lying there alive and breathing deep
Your frown is tight - you've been thinking in your sleep
And you say that you wanna be free
But you can't cos you're looking at me
Hold you tight in my arms and you'll see
I am the one
I'll hold you down with promises and threats
Remind you how it was when we first met
Let's take a boat to tha dark side of the lake
And share a joke cos there's music in the trees
And you say that you wanna be free
Well you can't cos you're looking at me
Hold you tight in my arms and you'll see
I am the one
I was the one - the oyster to your pearl
I've loved you more than a thousand other girls
So we'll sing our song - it's been haunting us for years
Spin me to the sun and we'll kiss the world our cheers
And you say that you wanna be free
But you can't cos you're looking at me
Hold you tight in my arms and you'll see
I am the one
7.Wolves over washington
Space looks good today
It doesn't realy change
Looking up from 5th street
The moon's within your range
Space looks good today
Take us for a ride
I can see the big apple
And it's 50 wings wide
Wolves over Washington
Fly with me tonight
The streets of New York want you
Fly with me tonight
Space looks good today
It's a jester ride on the giant slide
Is that a manicure or do they just grow that way ?
Space looks good today
A card game on the way
Our glasses reflect everything
When's the big day ?
Wolves over Washington
Fly with me tonight
The streets of New York want you
Fly with me tonight
Wolves over Washington
Fly with me tonight
The streets of New York want you
Fly with me tonight
Space looks good today
I'm glad we're on our way
If we get there really quick
We can call ourselves
Aerodynamic
Wolves over Washington
Fly with me tonight
The streets of New York want you
Fly with me tonight
8.The sky's our terminal
Hit the mission abort button
Coitus interruptus
Tried to leave the world free spinning
Someone surely stopped us
Wait a day
Second engine is OK
Here we go again
One more delay
Couldn't think what to say
This is no test
We've been told
The sky's our terminal
There's a message come through from my other home
It's my daughter's birthday
If I feel over the moon about that special new
I'd end up in a worse way
Wait a day
Second engine is OK
Here we go again
One more delay
Couldn't think what to say
This is no test
We've been told
The sky's our terminal X2
Hit the mission abort button
Coitus interruptus
Tried to leave the world free spinning
Someone surely stopped us
Wait a day
Second engine is OK
Here we go again
One more delay
Couldn't think what to say
This is no test
We've been told
The sky's our terminal X4 ...
9.Namedrops
You don't even know your name
You get on a bicycle
And bend the frame
Samson in a cage
Gave him some wine and Danish
Man, was he depraved
Raindrops, teardrops
Give me some real food
Like out on the balcony
Hamish in a den
Now that I'm seventeen
He must be ten
You don't seem to love me any more
I gave you my word of honour
You sprinkled your path with gravel
Angels fell from the sky
You don't even know your name
You get on a bicycle
I get on a plane
Namedrops on a hill
Perhaps in a distant valley
They'll be still
You don't seem to love me any more
I gave you my word of honour
You sprinkled your path with gravel
Angels fell from the sky
You don't seem to love me any more
I gave you my word of honour
You sprinkled your path with gravel
Angels fell from the sky
Namedrops on a hill
Perhaps in a distant valley
They'll be still
10.U.V
Stacey has informed me that
The 60's borrowed 20's fashion
I've lost all sense of city taste
I'll pick out all my favourite garms
And wear them with the tightest passion
I've lost the feeling in my face
The Jeweller blew me away
With his demands of green
To circle fingers in gold
I'll need a man less mean
I'm leaving pink for UV to see
Getting into flowers it seems
Birds a current living hobby
I needn't dress for the wild of life
It's pointless to complete with petals
Collars flapping, never take off
So de-wing with my pocket knife
The Jeweller blew me away
With his demands of green
To circle fingers in gold
I'll need a man less mean
I'm leaving pink for UV to see
The Jeweller blew me away
With his demands of green
To circle fingers in gold
I'll need a man less mean
I'm leaving pink for UV to see X2
11.Broken bird
The backroom card game under smoky mobiles
The lift attendent who's been riding for miles
Safari season is upon us once more
The lion's share to the man by the door
She twists her body like a broken bird
And staggers to the lift without a single word
Her taking leave of the spinning room
Leaves rain unwatched under eyeing moon
In third floor peace dwelling on he fate
She dents the side of the bed with her sparrow weight
She twists her body like a broken bird
And cranes her neck down slowly to the water
As luck would have it she desired that man
So she threw away hearts to weaken her hand
The winner in a grey suit fills the frame
Unaware that she's still playing her game
She twists her body like a broken bird
As waves roll up the shore and break softly
12.Terrible day
It's a terrible day for you
Cos he's left you feeling blue
All alone all alone all alone - you're all alone
All alone all alone all alone - the seeds are sown
Well the seeds are sown
Of discontent
And you're washed your hands of the incident
Washed your hands
It's a terrible day for you
Cos he's run away with someone new
All alone all alone all alone - you're all alone
All alone all alone all alone - the seeds are sown
Oh yeah the seeds are sown
Of discontent
And you've put your bedsit up for rent
All alone all alone all alone - you're all alone
All alone all alone all alone - Your hopes have flown
Yeah your hopes have flown
Well your hopes have flown
Into air
Cos you throught you had a life to share
Life to share
13.Motorbike To Heaven
I'm gonna drive my motorbike to heaven
I'm gonna slice a lemon in two
And when the charcoal's burning bright
We'll be there, in heaven
I'm gonna fly my motorbike to you
I don't know why
But i've got a good idea that we'll meet again some day
It makes me cry
There's a memory of you standing in the woods
And then they sigh
Cos they've got a good idea that my hair is full of ferns
I'm gonna shine my hair in blooms
Because my mind is full of you
I think i'm gonna dust my room
Cos there's a notice in my head
I'm gonna shine my bike instead
Cos that's what the notice said
Repeat 1st verse
I don't know why
But i've got a good idea that we'll meet again some day
It makes me cry
You're standing on a yacht and i don't know what to say
I dreamt last night
We were playing kiss and tell then i watched you fly away
Well there's a diamond in my car
And it's shining like a star
I feel i'm coming home to you
Cos there's a message in my soup
And it could be like yesterday
I wish you'd never gone away
Repeat 2nd and 3rd verses
14.Drink The Elixir
The ground is getting frosty
Then small drops of mint on my scarf
My lifespan is an unknown
I've never strayed far from the path
I'll wrap myself in bandages
And leopard skin and bandages
And nobody will bother me
I'll wrap myself in bandages
Till it gets ridiculous
And nobody will bother me
Drink the elixir
With saturn on the stopwatch
There's hope for me yet on this earth
But venus had an off day
A century's gone by since my birth
I'll wrap myself in bandages...
15.Granite Statue
Sitting in a garden with a face like a granite statue
I am winter solstice waiting like a granite statue
Just like a granite statue
I will come when the weather's fine
Just like a granite statue
I want to know what's on your mind
Every single time that i come here i can't tell you what i feel
I am so polite to you and courteous
I know that it's not real
I long to grab a hold of you and take you in my arms tonight
But when i feel i'm going to my courage flies away and i turn
cold
Chorus
Just like a granite statue
Statue, is that you, statue
Just like a granite statue
I will come when the weather's fine
But i'm a granite statue
And i know you'll not ever be mine
Just like a granite statue
Statue, is that you, statue...
16.Machine Of Menace
I'm versatile, removable
I'm reversible, so edible
I'm the machine of menace
You put me in your place
So go on, the pleasure's mine
I gotta see your face
You put me in your place
So go on, i gotta see your face
I'm versatile, i'm flexible
I'm physical, quite murderous
I'm the machine of menace
Chorus
Show me your face
I gotta see your face
Cos you put me in your place
So go on, the pleasure's mine
I gotta see your face
Incurable, rememberable, i'm increasable
In fact delectable, machine of menace
17.Overhear Me
The bechstein was our lifeline
We could see our faces in the shine
And know it wasn't over
You never said you loved me
Even when we crowded out the children from the sofa
I hope you overhear me
I hope you overhear me
When i'm uttering my name for you
In case collected copies of the times get faded before ninety
nine
The trunk will stay locked shut
In the garden the ritual was acted out under every tree
Shame my favourite scenes were cut
18.Shepherds' Isle
Don't take me there tonight
To the sheperd's isle
They say there's people walking in towelling dressing gowns
Awaiting trial
I don't want to go
I don't need to know
I don't want to go, a-ha...
The hounds hunt in fives
Gnashing teeth will eat you alive
So board this boat with me
Why so shaky, can't you see?
Chorus
Come all ye faithful
Tractor salesmen from hell
And when we're walking walking
We know we don't walk too well
I feel like crumbling buildings
With dust on the windowsills
It's such a mindless island
I feel like paying boredom bills
This boredom really kills
19.Muscleman
He's a muscleman, such a muscleman
Muscle up to him, he'll let you rub his tan
He's a muscleman, such a muscleman
Muscle in with him, he'll let you hold his hand
I'm now an apple. that suits me fine
And i'm out of time, but we'll all be fine
And now i'm knackered and feeling kind
But i'm not even worth a dime
And that suits me fine, and that suits me fine
Chorus
He's a muscleman, such a muscleman
He's a muscleman, yeah, he's my muscleman
I'm not an apple in a line, i'm in that way inclined
For god's sake be mine, and please don't go blind
Cos i've got this apple, and it needs a habit
And now i'm out of time, but you're a friend of mine
And we'll both be fine, and not out of line
Again you'll be mine, and that suits me fine
Yeah that suits me fine, he's a muscleman...
He's my muscleman
20.Your Ma
I've got an itch that i can't fix
I'm gonna get your mother to mix me a drink
Just think
She takes my hand to put it up her skirt
I'll call you up to dish the dirt on her
So it doesn't reoccur
Your ma will do it
I don't know where to hide
Before i know it her hand's inside
I know the damage that she can do with her hands untied
I try to keep her on hubbie's work
But if i don't stop she'll think i'm a jerk
A jerk
Chorus
Go on!
Upper grade...
I've got a problem with someone's mum
But she relieves me of my daily humdrum
And while i stand there taking off her dress
I guess i'm in a mess
Cos she wants a boy with the teenage drive
And knock his socks off his teenage life
And then i remember - she's your daddy's wife
21.Warmth Of The Hearth
Say it's not so
I can't even chant in the bath
I'm so alone
I'm coming home
I need the warmth of the hearth
The antique phone
Here comes the hearth
We're almost there baby
I'm on the path
Missing you already
Here comes the hearth
We're almost there baby
On the path
Say it's not so
Many's the dog that we've sent on the way
Down below i'm coming
I need the warmth of the flames
On my bones
