Sooner Die
I don't want to explain
I just want you home again
I don't want to complain
I just want you home again
But if you don't want me anymore
If you don't need mc anymore
If you don't love me anymore
Then I don't want to live on anymore
I don't want to blame you
But sometimes I could maim you
I don't want to use you
But use me if you want to
But if you don't want me anymore
If you don't need mc anymore
If you don't love me anymore
Then I don't want to live on anymore

Big Mug
I'm looking down at you on the floor
wondering who's the mug here
Or who's the mugger more.
I'm looking down at you on the floor
wondering who's more broken
or who's more bloody sore.
I got you one year and you were so dear
you nearly brought me to tears.
I didn't use you at all. In the press by the wall.
then you had to fall.
I'm looking down at you all in bits
wondering who's the mug here
wondering who the tag fits
I'm looking down at you all in bits
wondering who's more broken
or who's the worse for it.
How time has passed, the years go so fast.
I knew you couldn't last.
Then you had to go and let yourself flow
and let yourself flow
I'm looking down at you in your box
wondering who's the mug here
wondering if this is mock.
I'm looking down at you in your box
wondering who's more broken
wondering who's been more rocked.
I'm looking down at you on the floor
wondering who's the mug here
Or who's the mugger more.
I'm looking down at you on the floor
wondering who's more broken
or who's more bloody sore.

Killed It With My Bare Hands
Now she's doing Liberace on the controls for the TV
coz she knows Noel Edmonds's on after the news.
And she'd truly madly deeply like to cut his friggin' head off
but she thinks her actions may be misconstrued.
Coz all her family love him and they'll never understand
If her big sister just off the telephone
Then she wouldn't have to sit around and be assimilated on her own.
No she doesn't want to sit around and be assimilated on her own.
In the paper that she's reading are four pages of death notices
for bleeding hearts with little else to do.
Someone out there sadly missed by family and employees
a fine gentleman to everyone he knew.
Except his missus she was having an affair
and she really doesn’t really care
in fact she's kind of glad he's gone.
But she doesn't want to sit around and be assimilated on her own.
no she doesn't want to sit around and be assimilated on her own.
Coz all her family love him and they'll never understand
If her big sister just off the telephone
Then she wouldn't have to sit around and be assimilated on her own
No she doesn't want to sit around and be assimilated on her own

L is for Loss and Losing
Lament and Lust and of course Leaving
But not grieving
O is an unusual letter One and Ornamental, like that sweater
Oh it"ll get better, oh forget her
And if you hope to be the one
some words and terms are just not on
V is for Vanity and Values and Varicose Veins
and I've got to tell you
you've got them all except the values
E is for End and Empty
E is for Error and most make plenty
but we were meant to be can't end so easily
And if you hope to be the one
Some words and terms are just not on
Bet ya guessed that I'm not a Kim fan

U Can Du
Have you ever seen the spaces
that are in between the stars?
Have you ever really tasted Mars Bars?
Have you ever seen the Gods
use the moon as a big football
in an ecumenical off the wall?
U can do it if you really want to
Have you ever heard the clouds
whisper in your ear?
Have you ever really tasted beer?
Have you ever felt the earth
that's underneath your feet?
Have you made all the puzzle pieces meet?
U can do it if you really want to
and it's not hard

Strachan

She waited for the match to start
to start a fight up with me.
She said, "what's that you're watching?",
"It's a Programme about art".
She said, "A Programme about art?",
I said "A programme about art"
and then the greatest midfield artist of them all
walked out onto the park.
The crowd were on their feet
and they whistled and they cheered
for the tiny wee Scotsman with the copper coloured hair.
She said, "You just don't care, You never listen you know"
Lukic out to Wetherall and Wetherall to Dorigo.
Dorigo knocks it on to Fairclough, Fairclough looks for Speed.
Now she's ranting like a lunatic, "I'm switching off that telly".
"Look at me while I'm talking to you!"
To Strachan now -puts Kelly through
There's one man pulling all the strings
and twenty-two know damn well who.
The air begins to thicken.
Inside the box Strachan has stricken
The gap unfilled -he makes the kill -One-Nil
She waited for the match to start
to start a fight up with me.
She said, "what's that you're watching?",
"It's a Programme about art".
She said, "A Programme about art?", I said
"A programme about art" and then the artist
tackles perfectly and floats over the park
to the waiting Rodney Wallace who knocks
it back in to Deane and now the Deane Machine
to McAllister and McAllister's just seen
that Gordon Strachan slipped his marker
and he's free now in space
he's got 'em pouring forward
spraying the ball all over the place.
Now Gary Speed is involved again, he steadies the ball.
"am I talking to myself?", she says, "or talking to the wall?"
"Will you look at me while I'm talking to you!"
To Strachan now -puts Fairclough through
There's one man pulling all the strings and twenty-two
know damn well who.
The air gets even thicker.
The 'keepers quick -Gordon Strachan's quicker.
The gap unfilled -he makes the kill -Two-Nil.
She waited for the match to start
to start a fight up with me.
She said, "what's that you're watching?",
"It's a Programme about art".
"If you don't take your grief and bad vibes and get out of my face
I'm gonna sit right here and whistle my way through Melrose Place"
You could've lit the air in the room with a matchstick,
McAllisters cross sets up Strachans hat-trick
The gap unfilled -Strachans skill -Three-Nil

I see him on a park bench,
each day older,
sitting on his own.
Smokes a pipe,
keeps a smile on his face it's frozen
oh old times cover him with time
Will it go Will it go Will it go yeah!
On and on, on and on
he's on the only any he knows
Doesn't move 'cept the evening goes to his room,
doesn't do much else
But the old boy must be happy some way
Coz on and on go round and round

New Years Eve 1989, walk to a friend's house
-this years last time
And it hit me just then l'd be out of there down the line
16 years old back then, barely remember when
18 and I'm out of here.
You'll all grow up you see, mortgage and family
and if you're lucky....old
Some day we'll all grow old and die
Some day we'll all grow old and die
and that's fine, that's cool,
just as longs as some people I have in mind die too.
That's fine, just as long as they're moulding
in their graves before I'm moulding in mine.
Come now let's not pretend, it's happening to all your friends
it'll never happen to you
Then you'll wake up one day
wrinkled and bald or grey
and if you've paid your way, old

Looking Back At Us
02:50

On with our coats and out the door we ran
Into town and in the pub again
What a laugh, what a great old night
Didn't think that it could go so well
That old jacket he has worn for years
Last I saw it we were just going away
A long time away
And I miss those days
Yeah I miss those ways
Life seems so dull today
Got a phone call from an older flame
But you just know it’s never the same
As the last time I held her up
Talking rubbish and all kinds of stuff
Last I saw her she was, going to spend
All her money getting sweet revenge
Sweet revenge
And I miss those days
Yeah I miss those ways
Life seems so dull today
And I miss them, Yeah I miss them,
Yeah I miss them today
Yeah I miss them, how I miss them
Yeah I miss them today

Aryan Beach Party

They threw an Aryan Beach Party last Summer
with a crappy Oi band playing Beach Boys surfer greats
Jackets of the Afrika Corps with Bermudas
covered beer guts Hard earned down the pub indulging hate
Let’s see if we can all find someone to scare tonight
At the Aryan Beach Party
they took off their lacquered jackboots, shiny doc's
-swapped them all for flip-flops
One held up their bible 'Mein Kampf -It didn't look well worn,
laughed and spilled his beer on another ones Heinrich Himmler uniform
Just stand aside, give ‘em some space
The master race are getting out of their face yeah
who would've thought it'd be the case
that the master race would be so wide around the waist yeah

At The Seaside

Walked up past the old arcades
To where the older boats lie dead
Got up to the broken bandstand
But this all happened in my head
I had dozed off, I hadn't moved at all
I'd slept with back up to the wall
And now I've had that nice dream
I think that I might like some ice-cream
Walked in my bare feet along the sand
To where the water met the land
When the water hit my knees
I thought that I was going to freeze
Some kid's dad gave me some hassle
I tripped over his kid's sand castle
Kid sat there in tears - mouth open wide
I was bright red, I nearly died
Later on in the old arcade
Twenty pence, Euro '96
Knocked out in the semis by the French
A well struck peno by Asterix
