GOTTA GET AWAY
Runnin’ but I’ve got to hold my breath,
Can’t show too much, Can’t look up
Just keep up that’s what you say,
Cry in this glass, glass will break
Could it be I’ve made your day
I’ve been a good little soldier….
Fast Lane, Overtime, Skyline, Cross-Fire
Red Lights, Red Eyes, Just can’t sleep
Gotta earn my keep…..
Passport, Hurricane, Shoe Size, Right of Way
Too Old, Too Late, Can’t you see
I Gotta Get Away…..
A Path paved with ice, I look across
I see so many slide, so why can’t I?
You say it’s just my cynical side
I say its your Capitalist Pride
‘Just keep Up’ That’s what you say
One more chance or you’ll walk away
Skin Deep, White Line, Letter Bomb Skyline
No Time, No Sleep, Just can’t eat
Gotta earn my keep
Head Lights, Wrong Way, Out Size, Out Stay
Too old, Too Soon, Can’t you see
I Gotta Get Away….
Gotta Get Away……
Gotta Get Away…..
Got to Get Away from here…..
Fast Lane, Overtime, Skyline, Cross-Fire
Red Lights, Red Eyes, Just can’t sleep
Gotta earn my keep
Passport, Hurricane, Shoe Size, Right of Way
Too Old, Too Late, Can’t you see
I Gotta Get Away…..
Skin Deep, White Line, Letter Bomb Skyline
No Time, No Sleep, Just can’t eat
Gotta earn my keep
Head Lights, Wrong Way, Out Size, Out Stay
Too old, Too Soon, Can’t you see
I Gotta Get Away….

77
We want you, we need you
We’re coming now to take you far away
So come take your ticket
For the one thing that you’ve never had is coming today
Everybody looks and stares out
From their colourless worlds
If you’re feeling low, just come along with the show
Take a trip upon, 77
I hear you, I see you
You trundle down the road without a care
There’s so much confusion
When all I want to know now is can you take me there
Everybody stops and stares
At what they wish they could have
If you’re on your own, just come along for the show
77 is taking me to heaven
Its so very late now, I’d like you to stay now
See everything I could have done for you
If you’re feeling low just come along with the show…..
So climb upstairs and rest your head
And leave behind the crazy life that you’ve led
It’s such a waste of energy you don’t have…
If you’re feeling low, just come along with the show
Take a trip upon, 77
If you’re on your own, just come along for the show
77 is taking me to heaven
Come on, Come on, 77……..

DO THIS FOR U
I haven’t been around a while
I’ve got to show you that I’m keepin’ up with the styles
Wonderin’ what clothes to wear
What to say, and what to do with my hair
A picture perfect movie scene
But do I fit to please…..
Do I fit to please, your ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll’ dream?
Oh Oh Oh I Do this for U
Oh Oh Oh Because I Do This for U
Oh Oh Oh Yeah I Do This for U
Oh Oh Oh You know I Do This for U
O’ can’t you see I’ve got my crocodile shoes
And my eyes blackened out for you
Can you see, Do you see, Look at Me…..
Do you have my picture on your wall?
Do you check it out when you get it on with evey guy that calls?
Oh Oh Oh I Do this for U
Oh Oh Oh I Do This for U
Oh Oh Oh Yeah I Do This for …….No No
Oh Oh Oh I Do This for U………
I Do This for…..You
Oh Oh Oh I Do this for U
Oh Oh Oh I Do This for U
Oh Oh Oh Yeah I Do This for …….No No
Oh Oh Oh I Do This for U………

FAIRWEATHER FRIENDS
So begins a life, you can’t see it now
Wishing isn’t wise, open up your eyes
Fairweather Friends all around….
History will know what you could never show
Maybe if we try to seek out what is right
Fairweather Friends gather round….
Don’t look back……..
Now that you’ve lost your mind
Did you think you’d be so low
You twist and you turn back time
But you won’t gain anything O’ no…..
You can’t knock me out, when its not a clean or fair fight
Victory’s sublime, but you won’t win next time
When you are ahead don’t look back……
Don’t look back………

Meet My Generation
Generation changes, but still one thing gets me by
Lifes reverberation shakes me up, gets me high
I remember so clearly lookin’ at the world
While closing my eyes
So close the door, lock my mind away
I’ve waited for today
Life on hold, finger on the pulse
I wait to hear your voice
Meet My Generation, magazines and 45’s
7.30 Romance, just can’t wait to see them smile
How can you say “No, it’s not enough to love what you can feel”
It’s my distraction, that’s just your jealousy
Close the door, I am back inside
Shivers down my spine
Still on hold, givin’ me its pulse
I can hear your voice
Meet My Generation, magazines and 45’s
This is My Generation, gettin’ our kicks all the time
7.30 Romance, just can’t wait to see them smile
This is My Generation, gettin’ our kicks all the time
Meet My Generation, gettin’ our kicks all the time

MY PLACE
I passed her in a doorway; She said she liked my style
It couldn’t have been an hour, you know it wasn’t even worth my while
Now you’re kicked to the kerb girl, with all those scratch’s down your back
Well you just don’t get it, there aint no comin’ back
You can talk girl, with that make up on your face
But all your sweet sweet talkin’, won’t get you back in My Place
Some people out-stay their welcome, take more that they deserve
But don’t you mess with ‘the Basement’ man,
Or your gonna get your pretty little fingers burned yeah….
All your talkin’, and your cheap perfume,
All your sweet sweet talkin’, won’t get you
Back in My Place
You can talk girl, with that Make-Up caked on your face
But all your sweet sweet talkin’ wont get you Back in My Place

CAN U SEE ME SMILE
I’m lookin’ for the man
He always seems to know yeah, just where I am
I….. Don’t even know his name
When I’m in pain, I know he’s got the game
I wanna play it…..
He always makes it right
But can you tell me, ‘Have you seen him Smile’?
Girl… Don’t let me out of here
I don’t need temptation now my mind is clear
Girl…..You know I’m on my knees
You know I’m down on my knees
You’ve heard this before I know yeah
But now I’m beggin’….Please Please Please
Cause you can make it right
So won’t you stay tonight now
You know you’ll make it right
And you could tell him that you’ve Seen me Smile
My Highs and Lows mess with your head
Whys it always the same?
Take a look into my eyes
If you’ve got something to say
Why’s it always the same?
When you could make it right
If you’d just spend tonight now
You know you’d make it right
And you could tell him that You’ve Seen Me Smile
Can U see Me Smile
Can U See Me Smile
Can U See Me Smile

DIRTY ONE
Little Creatures playin’ in the sun
Look around put the Yellow Circles on
Through the streets in a carridge like the Queen
Leaves a trail of the places that you’ve been
See the tired man fallin’ to the ground
With a piece of paper in his hand
See the broken Man….
Hey Hey Hey
You are a Dirty One
A D-D-Dirty One
Hey Hey Hey
You are a Dirty One
A D-D-D-Dirty One
Hey Hey Hey
Aah…You are a Dirty One
What is it that you expect from me?
I take a pride in keepin’ the City Free
I just put on my coat and cap each day
And take no heed of what you people say…..
Hey Hey Hey
You are a Dirty One
A D-D-Dirty One
Hey Hey Hey
You are a Dirty One
A D-D-D-Dirty One
Hey Hey Hey
Aah…You are a Dirty One
You run from the reason that falls from their eyes
Does it keep you up until the Morning arrives
Here comes the Dirty One
Here Comes the Dirty One
You Dirty One………..

Octopus Eyes

I met her in a club, her name I didn’t hear
She had the kind of smile that could bring a man to tears
She told me of her life to the sound of ‘Purple Haze’
And then she kissed my mouth and I swore I heard her say….
SHE SAID….
Don’t you hide me, the Octopus Eyes will find me
Don’t you hide me, the Octopus Eyes will find me
She led me to her place which was down on 7th Street
It had a yellow door, and the curtains didn’t meet
We lay upon her bed and we smoked ourselves to sleep
But when I woke she’d gone, and this note was all I seen
IT READ….
Don’t try find me, the Octopus Eyes will hide me
Don’t try find me, the Octopus Eyes will hide me
And though the years have gone I remember what she said
She said her only truth was the pictures in her head
Now I still think of her, though I know I’ll never meet
My ‘Lilly Petal’ from that house on 7th Street
Don’t try find me, the Octopus Eyes will hide me
Don’t try find me, her Octopus Eyes have blinded me
Octopus Eyes, Octopus Eyes, Octopus Eyes……………..

STICKS & STONES
Sticks and Stones, They break my bones
But your words are empty, They leave me cold
Don’t patronise….Don’t patronise
You think you know, O so much more
But your mind is vacant of any worth
Well I sympathise…..I sympathise
Wrapped up inside your little world
Your cheap guitars and Pretty Girls
Will never hide what you are
You know I’ve got all I want to
You’re just a phase I’m going through
Your money’s not all that you can loose
You’re not around, most of the time
O but then the phone rings, I know your kind
You want it all….. you want it all
Wrapped up inside your little world
Your cheap guitars and Pretty Girls
Will never hide what you are
You know I’ve got all I want to
You’re just a phase I’m going through
Your money’s not all that you can loose
Its not all that you can loose…………
Your money’s no good in here
Your money’s no good in here
Your money’s no good, your money’s no good
Your money’s no good in here
