WIDE OPEN SPACE

I'm in a wide open space, I'm standing
I'm all alone and staring into space
It's always quiet thru' my ceiling
The roof comes in and crashes in a daze

I'm in a wide open space, it's freezing
You'll never get to heaven with a smile on your face from me
I'm in a wide open space, I'm staring
There's something quite bizarre I cannot see

I'm on the top of a hill, I'm lonely
There's someone here to shout to miles away
I could be back in my house, for I care
They do not hear me, it's the same old case

I'm in a wide open space, it's freezing
You'll never get to heaven with a smile on your face from me
I'm in a wide open space, I'm staring
There's something quite bizarre I cannot see

Wide open space, I'm standing
I'm all alone and staring into space
It's always quiet thru' my ceiling
The roof comes in and crashes in a daze

I'm in a wide open space, it's freezing
You'll never get to heaven with a smile on your face from me
I'm in a wide open space, I'm staring
There's something quite bizarre I cannot see

I'm in a wide open space, it's freezing
You'll never get to heaven with a smile on your face from me
I'm in a wide open space, I'm staring
There's something quite bizarre I cannot see

 
REBEL WITHOUT A QUILT

Got to find the rebel within, the point of the sea, it's probably me
Tell me what you want me to be, jump in the sea, if you know what's good
If you scratch the surface away
The true good ones are there, everybody is green

Who are you supposed to
Correct you, you're a fool
Thought you would protect a stray
Again on a rebel's gaze, before you close the door

I don't think you'd mind very much if my friend got out and fought down a bull
Noone's got conviction no more, they hope that the pill will kill off the soul
You will find the truth within, a fright it makes you say
The true good ones are there, everybody is green

Who are you supposed to
Correct you, you're a fool
Thought you would protect a stray
Again on a rebel's gaze, before you close the door

I'll stop you, I'll face you
I'll kiss you, you're a fool
Thought you would protect a stray
Again on a rebel's gaze, before you close the door

I know, we know, never trust those men before so
I know, we know, try for once, a rebel without a quilt

Who are you supposed to
Correct you, you're a fool
Thought you would protect a stray
Again on a rebel's gaze, before you close the door

I'll stop you, I'll face you
I'll kiss you, you're a fool
Thought you would protect a stray
Again on a rebel's gaze, before you close the door

If you scratch the surface away
The true good ones are there, everybody is green

 
VISION IMPAIRED

Stand up, you sit down, 'cos you're feeling so loaded, no chairs on the ground
See you, you see me, and our views are scum, buy a giant T.V.

Please, please, some more, some more

It's only rotten being here, and the house is queer
And all the people are gone, but all they see the T.V.
It's easy

She steps through their door, if they leave me upstairs, though there's only one floor
See things, they're not here, 'cos you're vision impaired, but the truth isn't there

Please, please, some more, some more

It's only rotten being here, and the house is queer
And all the people are gone, but all they see the T.V.
It's easy

It's only rotten being here, and the house is queer
And all the people are gone, but all they see the T.V.
It's easy

It's only rotten being here, and the house is queer
And all the people are gone, but all they see the T.V.
It's easy

It's only rotten being here, and the house is queer
And all the people are gone, but all they see the T.V.
It's easy

 
SKIN UP PIN UP

Sniff on this, sniff of this, my skin up pin up, oh yeah

Oh, if I see you would you stop and say hello
Oh, if I kiss you would you run straight up my nose
Oh, scaring Tina, say hello

Sniff of this, but of this, my skin up pin up, oh yeah
Pick up the ladies, two more in waiting, stops me from aching

Oh, if I see you would you stop and say hello

The Gods Of Not Very Much

Sifting your numbers to give her, nobody could tell us if they think they'll ever glove us
See him, victim, shouting, telling all the people that we're meeting in a field
Sifting your numbers, together, nobody could tell us if they think they'll ever glove us
See him, victim, shouting, telling all the people that we're meeting in a field back down

We'll need to talk, we'll rush The gods of not very much
We'll need to talk, we'll rysh
The gods of not very much

The strange tree, the branches, with house there, ???
???, the crowd come, ???, ??? your neighbours are insane
I'm free, I'm running, the crowd there, ???
It's easy, ???, not me, ??? you're nothing but a plain way ???
'Cos we're the gods of not very much

We'll need to talk, we'll rush The gods of not very much
We'll need to talk, we'll rysh
The gods of not very much

We'll need to talk, we'll rush The gods of not very much
We'll need to talk, we'll rysh
The gods of not very much

We'll need to talk, we'll rush The gods of not very much
We'll need to talk, we'll rysh
The gods of not very much

 
MORONICA (ACOUSTIC VERSION)

2 foot long and your neck keep growing
10 foot tall, 'round your head it's snowing
25 grand and you work 3 hours
15 girls through a hole in your trousers

Bigger, better, faster, more
You're much more cooler than you were before

For so long
For so long I've been telling you please
Please Moronica stay
For so long
For so long I've been asking you please
Moronica haze
For so long
For so long you've listened to me

You've got more halos than Simon Templar
Said more Betty's than Frankie Spencer
Your gun is bigger than Captain Scarlet's
Your face is covered in cheap mascara

Bigger, better, faster, more
You're much more cooler than you were before

For so long
For so long I've been telling you please
Moronica stay
For so long
For so long I've been asking you please
Moronica haze
For so long
For so long you've listened to me

How could you forget your faith
How could you forget your faith
I've been telling you so long
Please don't go
In my face
This will be the place

For so long
For so long I've been telling you please
Moronica stay
For so long
For so long I've been asking you please
Moronica haze
For so long
For so long you've listened to me

For so long
For so long I've been telling you please
Moronica stay
For so long
For so long I've been asking you please
Moronica haze
For so long
For so long you've listened to me

 
LEMONADE SECRET DRINKER (ACOUSTIC VERSION)

Bigger head, you got no bread in our house
Now look how you have got like this

Now they sleep in seperate bedrooms
Since they missed the jackpot on Family Fortunes
Yeah, oh-oh

How long, how long to go
Do you think that we are funny if we do it alone
How long, how long to go
Do you think that if we carry on we know they will moan
How long, how long to go

Stupid sod, you shout the odds in our town
You buy a box and call it home

You've never been that much of a thinker, oh
You've been a secret lemonade drinker, wanker, oh, oh-oh

How long, how long to go
Do you think that we are funny if we do it alone
How long, how long to go
Do you think that if we carry on we know they will moan
How long, how long to go

Wake up and look at all these things I bring you
Living on the handouts you collect in a cake tin

How long, how long to go
Do you think that we are funny if we do it alone
How long, how long to go
Do you think that if we carry on we know they will moan
How long, how long to go
