Beetlebum
Beetlebum, what you done
She`s a gun, now what you done
Beetlebum, get nothing done,
You beetlebum

And when she lets me slip away
She turns me on all my violence is gone
Nothing is wrong
I just slip away and I am gone
Noting is wrong
She turns me on
I just slip away and now I am gone

Beetlebum, because you`re young
She`s a gun, now what you done, beetlebum
She`ll suck your thumb, she`ll make you come
Coz she`s your gun, now what you`ve done, bettlebum

And when she lets me slip away
She turns me on all my violence is gone
Nothing is wrong
I just slip away and I am gone
Noting is wrong
She turns me on
I just slip away and now I am gone

He`s on, he`s on, he`s on

Song 2
I got my head shaved
By a jumbo jet.
It wasn't easy
But nothing is, no.

Whoo-hoo! When I feel heavy metal
Whoo-hoo! And I'm pins and I'm needles.
Whoo-hoo! Well I lie and I'm easy all of the time
But I'm never sure
Why I need you.
Pleased to meet you!

I got my head done
When I was young.
It's not my problem,
It's not my problem.

Whoo-hoo! When I feel heavy metal
Whoo-hoo! And I'm pins and I'm needles.
Whoo-hoo! Well I lie and I'm easy all of the time
But I'm never sure
Why I need you.
Pleased to meet you!

Country Sad Ballad Man
Yeah I found no where
It go to know me
Let me sleep all day
Spent the money
I haven`t felt my legs
Since summer
And I don`t call my friends
Forgot their numbers

VIP 223
Had my chances
And they have me
Now stay up nights
Watch tv
I`m a country sad
I`m a ballad man

I`m on the come back road
Yeah I`m blizzard
And in my motor home
Sweat on my pillow... all night

VIP 223
Had my chances
And they have me
Now stay up nights
Watch tv
I`m a country sad
I`m a ballad man

M.O.R.
It`s automatic
Need to unload
Under the pressure
Gone middle of the road
Fall into fashion
Fall out again
We stick together
Cause it never ends

Here comes a low
I`m a boy and I`m a girl
Here comes a high
The only ones is in the world
Here comes everything
You and me will work it out
Here it comes
You me, we`ll work it out!

Here comes tomorrow
1, 2, 3 episodes
We stick together
Go middle of the road
Cause that`s entertainment
It`s the sound of the wheel
It rolls on forever
You know how it feels

Here come a low
I`m a boy and you`re a girl
Here comes a high
The only ones in the world
Here comes everything
We`re like monkeys out in space
Here it comes
You me, we`ll work it out

It`s automatic
Need to upload
Under the pressure
Go middle of the road

Here comes a low
I`m a boy and I`m a girl
Here comes a high
The only ones is in the world
Here comes everything
You and me will work it out
Here it comes
You me, we`ll work it out!

On Your Own
Holy man tiptoed his way
Across the ganges
The sound of magic music in his ears
Videoed by a bus load of tourists
Shiny shellsuits on and drinking lemonade
Now I got a funny feeling
Which I bought mailorder
From a man in a teepee in California
Said he once was the great game
Show performer
Then he blew all his money away
Blew it all away

So take me home
Don`t leave me alone
I`m not that good
But I am not that bad
No psycho killer
Hooligan guerilla
I dream to riot
Oh you should try it
I`ll eat parole get gold card soul
My joy of life is on a roll
And we`ll all be the same in the end

Then you`re on your own (x2)

Well we all go happy day
Glow in the discos
The sound of magic music in our brains
Someone stumbles to the bathroom
With the horrors
Says lord give me time
For I`ve jumped into space
I`m in outer space

So take me home
Don`t leave me alone
I`m not that good
But I am not that bad
No psycho killer
Hooligan guerilla
I dream to riot
Oh you should try it
I`ll eat parole get gold card soul
My joy of life is on a roll
And we`ll all be the same in the end

Then you`re on your own

You're So Great
Written by Graham Coxon

Sad drunk and poorly
Sleep in really late
Sad drunk and poorly
Not feeling so great
Wandering lost in a town full of frowns
Sad drunk and poorly
Dogs digging up the ground

And I feel the light in the night
And in the day
And I feel the light
When the sky`s just mud and grey
And I feel the light
When you tell me it`s ok
Coz you`re so great and I love you

Tea, tea and coffee
Helps to start the day
Tea, tea and coffee
Shaking all the way
City`s alive, a surprise so am I
Tea, tea and coffee,
Get no sleep today

And I feel the light in the night
And in the day
And I feel the light
When the sky`s just mud and grey
And I feel the light
When you tell me it`s ok
Coz you`re so great and I love you

Death Of A Party
The death of the party
Came as no surprise
Why did we bother
Should have stayed away

Another night
And I thought well well
Go to another party
And hang myself
Gently on the shelf

The death of the teenager
Standing on his own
Why did he bother
Should have slept alone

Another night
And I thought well well
Go to another party
And hang myself
Gently on the shelf
(x2)

Chinese Bombs
He makes an inner arm block
Then kicks from behind
The lights they go off
But he can fight blind
Coz he`s goth the touch
But he won`t live long
Coz he comes from Hong Kong
Where justice is done

Chinese bombs, millions jump
Chairman`s junk, USA
Won`t somebody, won`t somebody
Sink the place

Got a cab to go to Soho
The dragon says go
Let everyone know
You got the touch
You come from Hong Kong
Where justice is done
Where people are strong
And you won`t live long

Chinese bombs, millions jump
Chairman`s junk, USA
Bruce Lee comes to save the day
Bruce Lee comes the Chinese way

I`m Just A Killer For Your Love
I heard a man who had no lungs
He took me in and made me lunch
He took me how I`d lost a friend
He smiled at me it was the end
I said

I`m just a killer for your love
I`m just a killer for your love
I`m just a killer for your love
I`m just a killer for your love

I cut my hair off in the road
I take my coat off dropped my load
I wipe my hands on the grass
Coz I know that nothing ever lasts
And I said

I`m just a killer for your love
I`m just a killer for your love
I`m just a killer for your love
I`m just a killer for your love

Look Inside America
Good morning, lethargy
Drink pepsi, is good for energy
The bath`s on, smoke in the bedroom
Sore throat and on my neck a nasty bruise
Where it came from, well I don`t know
We played last night, it was a good show

Got the play out
On a second rate chatshow
It`s a nationwide deal, so we gotta go
Chuck from the company says
It`ll be alright
Got an ad on K-ROQ
And there`s an in-store tonight
Well I build things up
Then I let them go
Got to get time share on the radio

Look inside of America,
She`s alright she`s alright
Sitting out the distance
But I`m not trying to make her min
Look inside of america
With it`s kookie nights and suicide
Where the tv says it`s alright
Coz everybody`s hung up
On something or other

Steppin` off in 20 so the driver says
I should sleep tonight
But I think I`ll watch videos instead
Annie Hall leaves NY in the end
Press rewind Woody gets her back again
And the whole world

Could have passed thru` me
But I don`t know
If it means
That much to me

Look inside of America,
She`s alright she`s alright
Sitting out the distance
But I`m not trying to make her min
Look inside of america
With it`s kookie nights and suicide
Where the tv says it`s alright
Coz everybody`s hung up
On something or other

Coz` everybody strung out
On something or other
And the whole world
Could have passed thru`me
But I don`t know
If it means that much to me

Strange News From Another Star
All i want to be
Is washed out by the sea.
No death star over me.
Won`t give me any peace.
All i want is light relief.
Put the crazies on the street,
Give them guns and feed them meat,
They`ll shoot the death star down.
Dig a hole and put it down
Thousand miles underground.

They say it`s no game.
There`s strange new from another star.
I`m lost, I`m lost.
There`s strange new from another star.

Give me all your stuff
Until I can`t get up.
Watch the whole world freeze.
Counting tin cans in our sleep.
Submarines are diving deep.
I don`t believe in me,
I don`t believe in me.
All I`ve ever done is tame,
Will you love me all the same?
Will you love me, though
It`s always the same?

They say it`s no game.
There`s strange new from another star.
I`m lost, I`m lost.
There`s strange new from another star.

Movin` On
At the music heist
I met the gourmet man
With aluminum lungs
Sucks all he can

See the whole world go flip
It`s a stunt bug style
Coz he`s a parasite
With a cellulite pile
But he can smile

This is the music
And we`re movin on,
We`re movin on

We`re sticky eyes and sticky bones
You get no time on your own
You get a dose and a ghost
You get it coast to coast
Dye your hair black
Pierce yourself with a coke can
Rub yourself in fake tan
Now you`re in a band

Coz this is music
And we`re movin on
We`re movin on
Hey this is the music
And we`re movin on
We`re movin on
No matter how low,
There`s always further to go
We`re movin on,
We`re movin on

We`re movin on, it won`t be long
We`re movin on, it won`t be long

Essex Dogs
I remember thinkin` murder in the car
Watching dogs somersault
Through sprinklers on tiny lawns
I remember the graffiti,
We are your children
Coming in with spray cans of paint
I remember with sunset
And the plains of cement
And the way the night seems
To turn the colour
Of orangeade

In this town cellurlar phones
Are hot with teens
In this town we all go to terminal pubs
It helps us sweat out
Those angry bits of life
From this town the english army grind
Their teeth to glass
You`ll get kicked tonight
Smell of puke and piss
Smell of puke and piss on you stilettos

Here comes that panic attack
My heart stops, then it starts
Give me a drink
I`ll drink you round
I`ll take you round the pole
It`s cold up here
You`ll watch the flu
Or you`ll catch the city
Either way you`ll catch the flu
Or you`ll catch the city
