Track Lyrics
Set the House Ablaze Lyrics
[Chorus]
Something you said set the house ablaze
Something you said set the house ablaze
Something you said set the house ablaze
You was so open minded
But by someone blinded
And now your sign says closed
Promises, promises
They offer real solutions
But hatred has never won for long
I think we've lost our perception
I think we've lost sight of the goals we should be working for
I think we've lost our reason
We stumble blindly and that vision must be restored!
I wish that there was something
I could do about it
I wish that there was some way
I could try to fight it
Scream and shout it
[Chorus]
But something you said set the house ablaze!
Something you said set the house ablaze
Something you said set the house ablaze
It is called indoctrination
And it happens on all levels
But it has nothing to do with equality
It has nothing to do with democracy
And though it professes to
It has nothing to do with humanity
It is cold, hard and mechanical
[Chorus]
But something you said set the house ablaze
Something you said set the house ablaze
Something you said set the house ablaze

That’s Entertainment Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A police car and a screaming siren
Pneumatic drill and ripped-up concrete
A baby wailing, a stray dog howling
The screech of brakes and lamplight blinking
[Chorus]
That's entertainment
That's entertainment
[Verse 2]
A smash of glass and the rumble of boots
An electric train and a ripped-up phone booth
Paint-splattered walls and the cry of a tomcat
Lights going out and a kick in the balls
[Chorus]
I say that's entertainment
That's entertainment, ahh
[Post-Chorus]
La-la-la-la-la-ah
La-la-la-la-la-ah
[Verse 3]
Days of speed and slow-time Mondays
Pissing down with rain on a boring Wednesday
Watching the news and not eating your tea
A freezing cold flat with damp on the walls
[Chorus]
I say that's entertainment
That's entertainment
[Verse 4]
Waking up at 6 A.M. on a cool warm morning
Opening the windows and breathing in petrol
An amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yard
Watching the telly and thinking 'bout your holidays
[Chorus]
That's entertainment
That's entertainment, ahh
[Post Chorus]
La-la-la-la-la-ah
La-la-la-la-la-ah
La-la-la-la-la-ah
La-la-la-la-la
[Verse 5]
Waking up from bad dreams and smoking cigarettes
Cuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfume
A hot summer's day and sticky black tarmac
Feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were far away
[Chorus]
That's entertainment
That's entertainment
[Verse 6]
Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight
Two lovers missing the tranquility of solitude
Getting a cab and travelling on buses
Reading the grafitti about slashed-seat affairs
[Chorus]
I say that's entertainment
That's entertainment, ahh
[Outro]
La-la-la-la-la-ah
