Track Lyrics
Run Run Run Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's a life long project of a life on the lash
I've forgotten how to care but I'll remember for cash
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Light the fuse, sing the blues, I can die if I want to
Tonight we're gonna bring tomorrow's happiness
Gonna live like it's the end
I love you to death, but I must suggest
[Chorus]
You'd better run, run, run, boy
Faster than the past
Through the looking glass
If you want the night to last
You'd better run, run, run, boy
Faster than the past
Through the looking glass
If you want the night to last
[Verse 2]
He's a long-time blagger, wraps his hand in a band
Still knows the streets of Camden likе the back of his hand
He's an old-time lovеr and a marathon man
And with the strength of a thousand men
He's a nightmare hangover, he's a one night stand
He can "eat mor chikin" any man in the land
Well, I've given up caring for happiness
When this heart gives out, is when I'll rest
[Chorus]
Run, run, run, boy
Faster than the past
Through the looking glass
If you want the night to last
You'd better run, run, run, boy
Faster than the past
Through the looking glass
If you want the night to last
[Bridge]
'Cause tonight, we're gonna spend
All tomorrow's happiness
If we don't break before we bend
And tonight your soul is sighing
"It'll turn out nice again
It's only money in the end"
[Chorus]
Run, run, run, boy
Faster than the past
Through the looking glass
If you want the night to last
You'd better run, run, run, boy
Faster than the past
Through the looking glass
If you want the night to last
[Outro]
You'd better run, run, run, boy
Faster than the past
Through the looking glass
If you want the night to last
You'd better run
I Have A Friend Lyrics
7 ContributorsI Have A Friend LyricsIt's more like sadness composed by a fragmented soul
All the words in a whirl, I just don't know where it goes
You holding the line or scuttling away
Is life a blockbuster film or a half-rehearsed play?
And the pigs on the spit and the wolf's at the door
Do the bad need a good like the rich need the poor?
How far can it get before the death Pixels meme?
An imperial threat or is it all just a dream?
It's hard to theorize when you are being brutalized
And the tears fall like bombs without warning
No, you don't know you're born, free speech and free porn
And the next thing you know you're being led out at dawn
Of our children of men, t-t-t-time again
The d-devil will come without warning
Hey, it's out the window while you watching the news
A ha ha, Hymer comes into view
And now your shadow's a skull, and the skull is a whole
The hole is empty of course like all human discourse
It's hard to theorize when you are being brutalized
And the tears, like the bombs, they fall without warning
Follow the tracks in the mud down to where the sea is black with blood
And tears, like the bombs, they fall without warning
How far can it get before the death Pixels meme?
Imperial threat or is it all just a dream?
It's more like sadness composed by a fragmented soul
I just don't know where it goes
So hard to theorize when you are being brutalized
And the tears fall like bombs without warning
Follow the tracks in the mud down to where the sea is black with blood
And the tears fall like bombs without warning
And tears, like the bombs, they fall without warning
Merry Old England Lyrics
8 ContributorsMerry Old England LyricsI know, I know, I know you came the long way 'round
Just had to get to merry old England
Crisp packets and puddles on the ground
Welcome to merry old England
Yeah, I know, I know, I know, I know you've been around
Just had to get to merry old England
I've seen you on the swings and on the merry-go-round
How you finding merry old England?
With her chalk cliffs, once white, they're greying in the sodium light, oh
My, my, my, my congrats on staying alive
Hope they don't catch you tonight
The illegals have landed in Dalby Square
Did they give you everything that you dreamed of?
A B&B and vouchers for three square
Is it еverything that you dreamed of?
Oh yеah, now they're rushing through Albania
They've got to get to Merry Old England
And Syrians, Iraqis, and Ukrainians
Oh, how you finding merry old England?
With her chalk cliffs, once white, decaying in the sodium light, oh
My, my, oh, my, congrats on staying alive
If they don't catch you tonight
I know, I know, I know you came the long way 'round
Welcome to merry old England
I've seen you on the swings and on the merry-go-round
How you finding merry old England? Yeah
I know, I know, I know you came the long way 'round
You had to get to merry old England
I've seen you on the swings and on the merry-go-round
How you finding merry old England?
Oh, with your chalk cliffs, once white, they're greying in the sodium light
Oh my, my, my, my good luck on staying alive
Hope they don't catch you tonight
No, I don't need your visa, mate, no
I don't need a ticket, mate
Don't need your visa, mate
Don't need your visa, mate
I can climb your fence, I can scale your wall, I climb your cliffs
Don't need your visa, mate
I've got a dinghy, mate
Oh, keep your visa, mate
Don't need your visa, mate
No, I don't need a ticket, mate
Don't need your visa, mate
I'll make it to merry old England
Don't need your visa, mate
I'm coming to merry old England
Don't need your visa, mate

Oh Shit Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Imo loves the feeling of rolling in the sun
Rolling in the oceans, she rolls until she's numb
But it's never too long before a swell comes crashing in
And you're gonna go down if you don't learn how to swim
Every moth to a candle finds a flame too hot to handle
And Jamie broke down at Imo's every scandal
Imo went west and Jamie sang the blues
It was Niki's raw heart that lit her fuse
[Chorus]
And she went, "Oh shit, oh shit"
Let's make some money
Just enough to get us by
I want you when you smile, oh oh oh
You got the dollars in your eyes
Our love is so sick, so sick
Just takes a minute to obliterate her mind
I want you when you smile, oh oh oh
From today until you die
[Verse 2]
They love rocky crystal in a lottery ticket
Unfortunate events, she's his Jiminy Cricket
Carving out initially, they did it on a wall
N and I, in the world of a heart shaped scrawl
Guides a finger across his hairline
As his head rests on the bar
He's stone cold cut
And she's hotter than a star
But Niki loves the fire
And Niki loves the fight
And Niki's got a heart
That will love you through the night
[Chorus]
And they go, "Oh shit, oh shit"
Let's make some money
Just enough to get us by
I want you when you smile, oh oh oh
I want the dollars in your eyes
And they go, "Oh shit, oh shit"
Let's make some money
Just enough to get us by
I want you when you smile, oh oh oh
I want the dollars in your eyes
[Verse 3]
Tank top, boots, no money
Living on the stubs
What's it even matter
You're just young and in love
[Bridge]
Oh shit, oh shit
Oh shit, oh shit
Oh shit, oh shit
Just enough to get us by
[Chorus]
And we go, "Oh shit, oh shit"
We need some money
Just enough to get us by
And everybody goes, whoa
We got the dollars in our eyes
We go, "Oh shit, oh shit"
We need some money
Just enough to get us by
I want you when you smile, oh oh oh
I want the dollars in your eyes
Oh shit, oh shit
Be Young Lyrics
5 ContributorsBe Young LyricsWe were born astride the grave, it was too late yesterday
We tried to do our ministry, got kicked right off the stage
To rise up in the face of the whole human disgrace
All the souls in all their soil, boiling up in oil
Is anybody out there? Does anybody care?
It's to hell in a handcart, we'll meet you there
Stand up or shut up
Rise up or give up
Get up, stand up, are you coming out tonight?
Oh, be young, fall in love
Oh, be young, fall in love
This lyrical tautology, freedom and democracy
Enslavement and autocracy, the planеt still will rot, you see
Music and mythology, fire gods, astrology
Autoeroticology, are you coming out tonight?
Oh, bе young, fall in love
Oh, be young, fall in love
Wandering away, there's no wandering away
Sha-la, la, sha-la, la, sha-la, la, sha-la, la
From total and utter annihilation
Sha-la, la, sha-la-ah
You're wondering away when you're one degree away
Sha-la, la, sha-la, la, sha-la, la, sha-la, la
From total and utter fucking annihilation
Sha-la, la, sha-la-ah
Oh, be young, fall in love
Oh, be young, fall in love
Songs They Never Play On The Radio Lyrics
[Verse 1 : Peter]
Songs they never play on the radio
As the cobwebs fall on the old shipping record
The needle skips a groove
I hate to say how I told you so
But I told tell you so
And I'm coming by
[Chorus 1 : Peter]
Sweetest by and by
To claim what I claim I'm owed though
I know
I'm owed just about half of nothing at all
What was that song they played
What about the pact we made
You know you should've stayed
The day you went away
[Verse 2 : Carl]
The A&R's man's head rests on his desk you know
Since 45s the digitized it's heart bereft and his left ear's deaf
Songs that they never play on your radio
You can stream it now it for free and savе your soul
[Chorus 2 : Carl]
What was that song they played
What about the pact wе made
What was that song they played
The day I went away
[Verse 3 : Peter]
I'm crashing down the boulevard of broken dreams
Men my class we live too fast and we can't be arsed
And we bat it down
Everywhere I go, old football against the wall
The tires fall off the Civic, oh
[Chorus 3 : Peter]
Songs they never play on your radio
As the cobwebs fall
The needle skips a groove
Songs they never play on the radio
As the cobwebs fall
And the Pigman busts a move
Cobwebs fall and the needle skips a groove
