This is the dawning of a new era (x2) I met a girl from area three She told me that she worked in a chicken factory
This is the dawning of a new era By two o'clock we were 'Brahms & Lisst' I had to walk her home through area six This is the dawning of a new era Sticks and stones may break my bones In area six they throw bottles and bricks and kicks
This is the dawning of a new era I climbed the stairs to the fourteenth floor The key won't fit the door This is the dawning of a new era She said she had a beautiful flat We had to sleep on the mat
This is the dawning of a new era Woke up and thought “This ain't exactly heaven” Oh shit, this is area seven This is the dawning of a new era (x3) This is so boring, it's a new era
Stop your messing around Better think of your future Time you straightened right out Creating problems in town

So what's the point of thinking deep I bite my nails and I'm losing sleep Goes round and round and will never halt It's all gone wrong and it's all my fault I used the sugar when I needed salt Things ain't cooking for me, as you see
I need a laugh so I take a drink Ain't it strange how they start to shrink I swig a river and I cry a lake It's all gone wrong and it's my mistake I wanted tremor but I got earthquake Things ain't going my way, not today
I'm sitting on a one way train You say I'm heading for an early grave There goes anxiety my favorite station And here comes panic and palpitation
I get frustrated 'cos I need a break But when it comes along you know I'll take I've never eaten from the hand of fate It's all gone wrong but it's not too late I needed love but all I got was hate Things ain't down to a tee, believe me
I'm sitting on a one way train You say I'm heading for an early grave There goes anxiety my favorite station And here comes panic and palpitation
I saw the doctor 'cos I'm feeling stress “Hop on the couch” he said, “and get undressed” He shook his head and said “the futures bleak” It's getting worse and I ain't hit my peak I want to shout but I can't even speak Things can't get any worse, where's the hearse?
Snow is falling all around, seven o'clock and the roads are blocked So I walk down town, there's no-one around
I walk in a bar and immediately I sense danger You look at me girl as if I was some kind of a, a total stranger
Where did you get that blank expression on your face? (x2)
The streets are dark, and there's no-one about I wander home and all the ,the lights are out, I keep wondering
Where did you get that blank expression on your face? (x4)
I'm putting away my working clothes for the weekend I ain't gonna do that job no more I'm tired of being used and mistreated So tired of being feeling on like a cloud

I'm putting away my working clothes for the weekend
How can you be so horrible? The things you say are terrible You make me feel ashamed When you call me names
How come you think it's wise To tell those wicked lies You play such silly games When you call me names
Stones and sticks don't hurt like bricks No skin off my nose I'll take the flack and hand it back It's just the way that it goes You dish the dirt but names don't hurt You never break my bones I'll grit my teeth but underneath It' only sticks and stones
You think you win a prize To cut me down to size You make outrageous claims When you call me names
Stones and sticks don't hurt like bricks No skin off my nose I'll take the flack and hand it back It's just the way that it goes You dish the dirt but names don't hurt You never break my bones I'll grit my teeth but underneath It' only sticks and stones
How can you say those things When they aim to sting It always sounds the same When you call me names
Stones and sticks don't hurt like bricks No skin off my nose I'll take the flack and hand it back It's just the way that it goes You dish the dirt but names don't hurt You never break my bones I'll grit my teeth but underneath It' only sticks and stones
You never say what you mean You never mean what you say (x2) You never say what you mean When you call me names (x4)

I have to carry a knife Because there's people threatening my life I can't dress just the way I want I'm being chased by the national hunt
Concrete jungle, animals are after me Concrete jungle, it ain't safe on the streets Concrete jungle, glad I got my mates with me
I won't fight for a cause I don't want to change the law Leave me alone, just leave me alone I want to get out on my own

Each Day I walk along this lonely street Trying to find, find a future New pair of shoes are on my feet Cos' fashion is my only culture
Nothing ever change, oh no Nothing ever change
People say to me just be yourself It makes no sense to follow fashion How could I be anybody else I don't try, I've got no reason
Nothing ever change, oh no Nothing ever change
I'm just living in a life without meaning I walk and walk, do nothing I'm just living in a life without feeling I talk and talk, say nothing
Nothing ever change, oh no Nothing ever change
I walk along this same old lonely street Still trying to find, find a reason Policeman comes and smacks me in the teeth I don't complain, it's not my function
Nothing ever change, oh no Nothing ever change
They're just living in a life without meaning I walk and walk, do nothing They're just playing in a life without thinking They talk and talk, say nothing I'm just living in a life without feeling I walk and walk, I'm dreaming I'm just living in a life without feeling I talk and talk, say nothing I'm just living in a life without meaning I walk and walk, do nothing

Got this funny feeling going through my head That if I go down to the pub I might just end up in bed With a blond or a brunette or a red head or two But oh what am I saying that'll never happen to you
Can this be right? Can this be wrong? Doing what I'm doing all night long I love to brag, I love to boast And all the lads in the pub think I've had the most
You see 'cos I just love to fantasize All these thoughts I've got inside It can't be healthy what I'm doing I'd like to get them out my head Before I go blind in my bed
Time to change is days and she's heading for you She knows just what she wants and she knows what to do She drags you back to her place step over the toys The baby-sitters sleeping so we can't make much noise
It's been so long, I won't go fast Ejaculation, celebration here at last Pig in shit, cat and the cream I open up my eyes, but It's another wet dream
You see 'cos I just love to fantasize All these thoughts I've got inside It can't be healthy what I'm doing I'd like to get them out my head Before I go blind in my bed
I've had this funny feeling lying in my bed Someone's spreading rumours down the King's Head But I've got this reputation and I can't stop it now I'd like to be in heaven but this feels like hell
Can this be right? Can this be wrong? Doing what I'm doing all night long I love to brag, I love to boast And all the lads in the pub think I've had the most
You see 'cos I just love to fantasize I close my eyes she's always there Why am I living this nightmare? She's a darling in my eyes But I just love to fantasize
You see 'cos I just love to fantasize On my bed I always lie Same old blue book in my hand To the pictures I relate Is this my world is this my fate?
Come let me tell you about the shotguns of Hillfields Let me tell you about the stenguns of Knightsbridge Let me tell you about the Moss Side barretta Let me tell you about the windows of my house
I'm not afraid of being afraid, I'm only fearful (x2)
Let me tell you about the bombs in the Arndale Let me tell you about the Welling election Let me tell you about the black church burning Let me tell you about the bat by my front door
I'm not afraid of being afraid, I'm only fearful (x2)
Don't talk to strangers Bolt your front door, don't make eye contact Buy a crook lock, wear your flak vest to the supermarket
It makes me shudder when I read the newspaper Have a career, learn to breed paranoia Me keep a watching on the rear view mirror Me no tell you where I keep my revolver
Come let me tell you about the security systems Let me tell you about the video surveillance Let me tell you about my new rotweiller Welcome to the siege mentality
I'm not afraid of being afraid, I'm only fearful (x4) Fearful, fearful, fearful
Out of bed at eight am Out my head by half past ten Out with mates and dates and friends That's what I do at weekends I can't talk and I can't walk But I know where I'm going to go I'm going watch my money go At the Locarno, no
When my feet go through the door I know what my right arm is for Buy a drink and pull a chair Up to the edge of the dance floor Bouncers bouncing through the night Trying to stop or start a fight I sit and watch the flashing lights Moving legs in footless tights
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning (x2)
I like to venture into town I like to get a few drinks down The floor gets packed the bar gets full I don't like life when things get dull The hen party have saved the night And freed themselves from drunken stags Having fun and dancing in A circle round their leather bags
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning (x2)
But two o'clock has come again It's time to leave this paradise Hope the chip shop isn't closed Cos' their pies are really nice I'll eat in the taxi queue Standing in someone else's spew Wish I had lipstick on my shirt Instead of piss stains on my shoes
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning (x4)
Bernie Rhodes knows “Don't Argue”
Why must you record my phone calls? Are you planning a bootleg LP? Said you've been threatened by gangsters Now it's you, that's threatening me
Can't fight corruption with con tricks They use the law to commit crime And I dread, dread to think what the future will bring When we're living in gangster time
Don't call me scar face
Can't interrupt while I'm talking Or they'll confiscate all your guitars and catch 22 says if I sing the truth they won't make me an overnight star
Don't offer us legal protection They use the law to commit crime I dread to think what the future will bring When we're living in gangster time
Bernie Rhodes knows “Don't Argue”
This town, is coming like a ghost town All the clubs have been closed down This place, is coming like a ghost town Bands won't play no more too much fighting on the dance floor
Do you remember the good old days before the ghost town? We danced and sang, and the music played inna de boomtown
This town, is coming like a ghost town Why must the youth fight against themselves? Government leaving the youth on the shelf This place, is coming like a ghost town No job to be found in this country Can't go on no more The people getting angry
This town, is coming like a ghost town (x3)
Mum bought you a fur coat when you were fifteen You wore it to the disco, but everyone was in jeans
But you were a rich girl, and only having fun Your low cut dresses, brought stares from everyone Hey, little rich girl where did you go wrong?
You left for London, when you were nineteen Had to pull off your nice clothes, just living on dreams A man in the bright lights took all that you own Now he's taken your freedom for a fate unknown
But you were a rich girl, hardly having fun Your worn out dresses, brought stares from everyone Hey, little rich girl where did you go wrong?
Hey, little rich girl you've been away for so long And now little rich girl, my words are in this song Hey, little rich girl my love for you is gone And now little rich girl, I know where you went wrong
At your dad's office party all the movies were blue Caused him so much heart ache, because the screen star was you You left for London, when you were nineteen Had to pull off your nice clothes, but you were living on dreams
You were a rich girl, and only having fun But your worn out dresses, brought stares from everyone Hey, little rich girl where did you go wrong? (x3)
When I woke up this morning alone in my bed In a cold room with damp sheets, and a pain in my head I saw you last night and you drove me insane Why must you hurt me again and again
I've had enough, if I don't come back for more that's tough 'Cos I can't stand it, the way you've planned it No I can't stand it any longer
Sometimes I get so I tired I can't get no sleep I'm so drunk I can't stand up on my own two feet I'm feeling so hungry I don't want to eat You make me so angry I can't even speak
I'll stay at home where I can be alone Because I just can't stand it, the way you've planned it No I can't stand it any longer
Try not to cry as I lie in the rain Feel like walking through walls just to get back home again I saw you last night and I'll see you again Maybe you're trying to drive me insane
I've had enough, if I don't come back for more that's tough 'Cos I can't take it any more I'm going home where I can be alone Because I just can't stand it, no I can't stand it No I can't stand it any longer

Safety belts and sickness bags, jet lag downer pills duty free booze and fags make me feel ill A vapour trail from A to B, away from normal sanity It all seems so absurd to me
I've seen the carpets on the walls of hotels rooms around the world I never want to hear the screams of the teenage girls in other peoples dreams
Spread the disease, from the south China sea To the beach hotel Malibu Phone my girlfriend to ask her “How's her weekend?” I say “Hi, Terry here”, and she says “Terry who, the hell are you?”
The businessmen are having fun are they on a different plane to me I've lost touch with reality, they all seem so absurd to me Like well dressed chimpanzees
Spend and spend and spend and spend Will the muzak never end?

I don't know what's going on But instead of having fun, you're gonna spoil the night

If you ever hear a noise in the night your body starts to sweat It shakes and shivers in fright You go and sleep with your mother, she hates your guts She knows that you love her so she holds you tight All through the night, until the broad daylight And when she doesn't come home you have to sleep alone Then you wet your bed, and I think that's sad For a girl of nineteen it's more than sad, it's obscene
One, two
And your girlfriend sweet little seventeen She's got her layered hair, and her flared jeans You know what that means? She's just a little queen She shares your London flat, she thinks that London's where it's at, although it stinks And when it rains you wear your hat, and your plum coloured PVC wet look maxi-mac You tie your ginger hair back in a bun You're the ugliest creature under the sun
one, two, go
And you think it's about time that you died, and I agree, so you decide on suicide You tried but you never quite carried it off You only wanted to die in order to show off And if you think you're gonna bleed all over me, you're even wronger than you'd normally be And the only things you want to see are kitsch The only thing you want to be is rich Your little pink up-pointed nose begins to twitch I know, you know, you're just a little bitch

You've got to think for yourself, work it out You've got to know when to talk, when to shout You've got to know when to laugh, when to cry You've got to know when to stay, when to fly
It's no big deal To say how you feel Talk about it Talk about it now
You've got to know what is real, what is fake You've got to know when to give, when to take
It's no big deal To say how you feel Talk about it Talk about it now
Won't you talk to me for ever? Won't you make me understand?
Say it loud, don't hesitate Just say your piece, communicate When you're dead it's way to late It's way to late

You saw a woman in a cafe, lips of crimson, yellow grin Her shoes were wrong and she looked extremely thin Her jewels were faked, she'd had a rinse, her hair was greyish blue She looked ashamed when she explained to you
It ain't easy when there's no-one to lean on It ain't easy when there's nobody there It ain't easy when your lovers are all gone Nobody there, nobody cares
The pubs were closed she'd got nowhere to go when she'd spilled her tea Have you never thought “One day that could be me”?
Her temper changed, she looked so deranged, her perfume turned to gin You looked at her and she began to sing
It's all a load of bollocks (x3) And bollocks to it all
You tell me you think that they should lock her away and scrape the make-up off her skin Then we'd see the warts around her chin She tried to keep her looks but lost her mind when she lost her youth and grace
Your words were just an insult to her face

Rude boy, you have been brought in front of me and charged with smashing this woman's window. Before I sentence you, what have you got to say in your defense?
I was walking down the street one night When I saw her silhouette in her bathroom light Her way of life may be nothing to hide With her frosted glass shattered, curtains open wide
Naked woman, naked man, Where did you get that nice sun tan? You live in a castle built of sand Naked woman, naked man
Naked from your bath, you go naked to your bed And I can't stop the hatred running through my head
Silence in court. Order. Rude boy, you have led me to believe that you was going out with a girl, and she left you and married someone else. So you got drunk, and smashed up your ex-girlfriend's property. I have come to one conclusion, that is to sentence you to five months in prison.
Before they take you down to the cells, what have you got to say for yourself?
