She talks so much
She just speechifies
She just goes on
I ask you is that wise
There’s a finite window into which you cram
All that you got
Fill it with all you can
Well there’s wanna-be pop stars hogging the news
I’m gonna give it all up for shining shoes
It’s like I just can’t be fussed
It’s like I can’t but I must
I guess I could but I won’t
It’s like I would but I don’t
Now there’s a verbal Niagara
It’s a waterfall
She just keeps going till she’s said it all
In this day and age when there’s so much stuff
That a man’s gotta do just to get enough
To keep it all happening and moving along
Then suddenly she drops another bomb
It’s like I just can’t be fussed
It’s like I can’t but I must
It’s like I should but I shan’t
It’s like I could but I can’t
I never know what’s coming up next could be a
Search for the treasure of King Priam
I never know what she’s gonna do next
Now she’s gonna be a geisha living in Siam
Just never know
Just never know
Just never know
Just never know what she’s up to
I’ve got ten seconds just to see if I
Can catch her attention
Well, at least I can try
Then some celebrity with puffed-up hair
Gives his inside view about some film-star pair
And then suddenly her mind flips channels again
And it won’t come back until I can’t say when
It’s like I just can’t be fussed
It’s like I can’t but I must
I guess I could but I won’t
It’s like I would but I don’t
Who can say what on earth the next minute is
gonna have in it - it’s a mystery
Who can say what she’s gonna think next
The moon is made of green cheese - it’s all Greek to me
It’s like I just can’t be fussed
It’s like I can’t but I must
I guess I could but I won’t
It’s like I would but I don’t
I guess I could but I won’t
It’s like I would but I don’t
It’s like I should but I shan’t
It’s like I could but I can’t
The cat stayed out all night again
the kids were left in the pouring rain
the milkman says he’s ain’t coming back
the postman’s had a massive heart attack
we’re overdrawn at the bank again
while you were out the bailiffs came
the car’s not taxed and the roof’s got a hole
yesterday we burned the last bit of coal
And I have had about as much as I can take
it’s the final step we’re ever gonna make
please don’t take good care of yourself
don’t be concerned about the state of your health
cos the fact of the matter is I now know why
what I wanna say to you is anyway -
Goodbye
anyway, goodbye
yeah yeah yeah yeah goodbye
that’s pretty goodbye
Don’t eat healthy
avoiding sleep
forget about looking before you leap
don’t check regularly
the state of your health
spending money improves your wealth
Take fewer vitamins
don’t do sport
keep off yoga
and stay overwraught
avoid meditation just as
much as you can
use the zebra crossing only on the red man
And I have had about as much as I can take
it’s the final step we’re ever gonna make
please don’t take good care of yourself
don’t be concerned about the state of your health
well the fact of the matter is I now know why
what I wanna say to you is anyway -
Goodbye
anyway, goodbye
yeah yeah yeah yeah goodbye
that’s pretty goodbye
Terrible Mess (No-Good Shoebomber)
I’m a no-good shoe bomber
And I’m on the news momma
Well I did not choose, momma
These radical views momma
Yeah I got radical views
But I just can’t use ’em
Most of the time I just confuse ’em
Are you the PLF? Are you the FLP?
Are you the LSO? Are you the BBC?
I’m in a terrible mess, I must confess
There’s either more going on here or very much less..
(He’s in a terrible mess, he must confess
there’s either more going here on or very much less)
I got nothing to lose, momma
Except for my shoes, momma
They saw through my ruse, momma
And now I can’t find the fuse, momma
I’ve got a ten ton missile up my nose
Six rounds of rockets nestling in my toes
I’ve got hand grenades strapped to my teeth
I ’ve got exploding hair, I’ve got offensive feet
I’m in a terrible mess, I must confess…
I’m a no-good shoe bomber
Now I’m on the news, momma
Well, I did not choose, momma
To hold these radical views, momma
Turn up the pressure till it reaches eleven
I’m gonna go to heaven on a 747
If things go right, I know that I can’t lose
I ’ve got a global platform for my views
She says she’ll be here at eight
But I know she’ll be late, it’s her job to make me wait
So I sit and I twiddle my thumbs
I whistle and I hum
And I hope one day she comes
She drives me wild
Somebody help - help this child
Why do I…
Why do I have to spell it out
I don’t know why…
Why I’ve got to spell it out
She’s jumping from this to that
In six seconds flat we go from shopping to Arafat
Thank God we’ve got remote TV
She’s got a tinier attention span than that of a flea
Please help me find
The remains of my mind
Why do I…
I see easily that it’s really only me
I see it takes two to make a fight
Oh, I see P. E. R. F. E .C. T. L. Y.
Did I think I could make it right?
Why do I…
Hit Him On The Head (With A Hammer)
His wife had left him a long time ago
Cos he carried on so
She couldn’t bear to hear him when he sang so low
And it bugged her so
He got hit upon the head with a hammer
Beat around the brain with a spanner
Acting in a positive manner
She hit him on the head
He found a new companion
Unfortunately a Piaf devotee
He couldn’t understand it
Not caring a pee for the EEC
She hit him on the head with a hammer
Worth about one and a tanner
Blows fell from heaven like manna
She hit him on the head
She hit him on the head with a hammer
Beat around the brain with a spanner
Acting in a positive manner
She hit him on the head

Baboon in the basement
Baboon on the stair
Baboon in the basement
Baboon over there
To keep your body intact is not more of the same
Is my soul responding? Not so I can hear
Cos the sound of money is ringing in my ear
Let’s make money
Let’s make money
There’s a thing, now there’s a thought
Get in and out double quick before we get caught
You work your digital fingers right down to the bone
I’m sure you’ve heard it all said
And you know you’re not alone
No time for delusion, this living is for real
Got no time for losing, so cut me up a new deal
Let’s make money
Let’s make money - I’m a bull and you’re a bear
Round and round the market with a tickle under there
Who needs compassion, it’s a real life pain
And a credit transaction is like sitting in the rain
But coming in first is none of the above
There’s only one thing worse than coming in first
That’s making love, yes making love and money
Let’s make money - there’s a thing, now there’s a thought
Get in and out double quick before we get caught
Let’s make money - sit and watch it multiply
Nothing but the business for you and I
Let’s make money - someone else’s is the best
So long as I can count it then the devil take the rest
Let’s make money - buy ’em cheap and sell ’em high
Well, ain’t it funny? Life’s a bitch and then you die for money
We love you.
We love you, and we hope
that you will love we too
We love they. We love they, and
we want you to love they too
We don't care if you hound we and
Love is all around we
Love can't get our minds off
We love you, we love you
You will never win we
Your uniforms don't fit we
We forget the place we're in
cause we love you
We love you. Of course we do
We love you. We love you
And I hope that you won't prove wrong too
We love you. We do. we love you
Warlord of the Royal Crocodiles (Bolan)
Handsome as life
He's our lord and we trust in him
To move like the wind
As our friend and guardian.
The elements and oceans congregate on his brow
And he stalks in style like a royal crocodile.
His chariot legs
Are tree green and autumn brown
His crown of dusk is a glimpse of things to be.
In palaces and temples near the dwellings of man
If he can he'll smile 'cos he's a Royal Crocodile.
It’s cold outside
But here it’s warm
With you my dear
You’re on good form
She fills the room
Nobody leaves
I must step outside
I can hardly breath
She’s so pleasant today
The temperatures high
It’s just the rain that’s falling
I know the cynics would say
Must be a reason for her acting this way
She’s so pleasant today
It’s easy to see that her star is rising
There’ll be no getting away
It’s neither shocking nor is it surprising
A perfect scene
Of harmony
Domestic bliss
And more than this
She smiles at him
He smiles right back
Preparing himself
For the coming attack
She’s so pleasant today
It’s so hard to keep my head above water
I can’t keep from getting in deep
She’s gone conglomerate
She’s no longer indie
She’s so pleasant today
She must have a reason for acting this way
I’m so happy to say that she’s so she’s so she’s so…
And now they leave
They’re on their own
The insults fly
Round the happy home
She saw him smile
He’s on the rack
She throws a blow
He hurls it back
She’s so pleasant today
But the weathermen say there’s a dark cloud on the horizon
The temperatures high
It’s just the rain that’s falling
She’s so pleasant today
She’s acting funny
Did she come into some money or what?
She’s so oh in every way
My defences are down
I surrender
Never tell your mother
That your sister’s joined the other side
She found out just the other night
There’s no such thing as an easy ride
No free dinners or even lunch
For a girl who wants to get ahead
If you attend to one
You got to feed the bunch
So do it now why don’t you
Good girls gone bad
They never lost nothing they ever had
You wanna know something
You better ask me
Those good good girls gone bad gone bad
She found out about strategy
You get taken out
You get taken in
She learned her lesson
Its plain to see
She learned it well
It’s happening
The stuff they taught her back in school
Was not enough to make a rule
She turned around she took a second look
In another way she made it
Good girls gone bad
They never lost nothing they ever had
If you wanna know something
You better ask me
Those good girls girls gone bad gone bad
Tonight (Wood)
That's the road
it's over there
and leading down to nowhere.
This is the age when you're allowed
to have your own care
if you will have some pride to plan
your life ahead instead of waiting
'til you're old in your bed.
I'll be over tonight
if you say you might
I'll be over tonight
indeed to put you right.
well I know what you wrote
on your overcoat
but don't want to take it too far
oh I think you won't
but I know that you don't
you always say that you are
I'm so used to waiting that's entirely
your affair child don't feel restricted
by the weightless views you're given
if you will have some pride to fight
and front ahead
instead of saving
'til your young heart is dead.
I'll be over tonight...
Never let the riches that may ever be within you
so self concerned with all the love
that you have been through
if you will have some pride to plan
your life ahead instead of waiting
'til you're old in your bed.
Was gonna prove my good intentions to the girl of my dreaming
By buying her a ring as the result of all her scheming
And now I’ve been demoted, I’m a real second stringer
Cos now my baby my baby’s got a green finger
Oh, it seemed to be a bargain though I couldn’t say for certain
He told me it was silver now it looks as though it’s curtains
See I thought it was de beers but it appears it was a ringer
Cos now my baby, my baby’s got a green finger
She’s got a green finger
She’s got a green finger it’s a discoloured digit
And I guess I’ve been stiched up by a street-trading midget
Well he must have seen me coming cos he sure didn’t linger
And now my baby, my baby’s got a green finger
She’s got a green finger
She threw the ring back at me with a frown upon her forehead
Intimated I could keep it as she found it rather horrid
Then she led off with her left, it was a real humdinger
Cos now my baby, my baby’s got a green finger
That Girl (Gordon/Almgren/Andersson)
That girl
My pearl
My heart
Aches from the stuff that she says
All day all night
It’s not right
She works all the day and then
She works all the night again
That girl
Believe me
Maybe you need someone to love
Take me
Believe me
That girl
She needs someone to love
She lies she cries she tries
To make me believe I’m her man
But when it’s ten there’s no sign
She’s played all the day and then
She plays all the night again
See her move in style
Her scent drives every man wild instantly
When she passes by me my heart breaks inside me instantly
She says I’m her man but then she works all the night again
That girl…
