Earth vs. The Wildhearts

The paper's hangin' off the walls There's roaches dancin' in the halls You still pay a fortune to crawl down Misery Street The euthanasia dream brigade Are melting in the Hampstead shade The zombies of life, they parade down Misery Street So come on over with something to do, baby I need the company Greetings now from Shitsville, North West 3 Why do we stay here? God only knows It's not the scenery Greetings now from Shitsville, North West 3 Greetings now from Shitsville, London And all my neighbours disappear The second that I get too near I stick out like elephant ears on Misery Street It gets so hard to sleep at night The left of me, the drunks still fight While sirens scream off to the right, down Misery Street So come on over with something to do, baby I need the company Greetings now from Shitsville, North West 3 Why do we stay here? God only knows It's not the scenery Greetings now from Shitsville, North West 3 Greetings now from Shitsville, London The heating's set on sauna and the carpet's gettin' thin My vacuum cleaner's blowin' out instead of suckin' in I drink myself to coma so that sleep escapes the din And start this shit all over again So now I got a brand new day To tackle in the same old way The duckin' and divin' of bills that arrive In their seemingly hundreds to pay So come on over with something to do, baby I need the company Greetings now from Shitsville, North West 3 Why do we stay here? God only knows It's not the scenery Greetings now from Shitsville, North West 3 Greetings now from Shitsville, London Greetings now from Shitsville, London Greetings now from Shitsville, London

I'm livin' on a landmine My body's tickin' away My cartoon eyelids and my skin, a sickly grey And if I waited by the phone line I'd wait a couple of days So I'm here lyin' on my bed, until I fade I flick the channels one to one, I flick them through again And all the time I'm dreaming better days (And now) I see no sun I see no light behind my one-track mind (Here I) I need no fun I need no time to find a new design Move along, I'm workin' on my 3D TV tan (So-so KO) I need another show (So-so KO) It's just a part of the plan (So-so KO) There's only me and my TV tan Someday maybe I'll call you I'll see whenever I'm free Maybe Tuesday when there's nothing on TV Twenty Regal and a four-pack I guess I'm set for the night And antisocial to keep in shape, thin and white I like to smoke and in 'tween tokes, consult the TV guide The bible for the pig who stays inside (And now) I see no sun I see no light behind my one-track mind (Here I) I need no fun I need no time to find a new design Move along, I'm workin' on my 3D TV tan (So-so KO) I need another show (So-so KO) It's just a part of the plan (So-so KO) There's only me and my TV tan TV tan Thinnin', I'm thinnin' and insanely grinning At fools peering out of my TV, trying hard to be funny Unfortunate for me, they start to entertain me I'm livin' on a landmine The kind that never ignites And I'm here waiting, here for nothing (And now) I see no sun I see no light behind my one-track mind (Here I) I need no fun I need no time to find a new design Move along, I'm workin' on my 3D TV tan (So-so KO) I need another show (So-so KO) It's just a part of the plan (So-so KO) There's only me and my TV tan

Life has teeth, it bites the feedin' open hand You wanna be in a band? I got to feeling I got too much too soon Too fucked up, I don't know? I gotta get to the show Well, what have I got to do? What have I got to do to get through to you? Well, what have I got to do? What have I got to do to get next to you? Like a telephone call would do Fuck it! Everlone, everlone A thousand fake heroes appear at the throne Everlone, into the great unknown Leavin' it all to fate for a while 'Til the fire in my eyes passes by When ideas run out, any fool can make a fist I got the will to resist I got the power of one, the fear of none The arms to judge the man I'll bet you don't understand Well, what have I got to do? What have I got to do to get through to you? Well, what have I got to do? What have I got to do to get next to you? Like a telephone call would do Fuck it! Everlone, everlone A thousand fake heroes appear at the throne Of everlone, into the great unknown Leavin' it all to fate for a while 'Til the fire in my eyes passes by (Passes by) Like a train, like the strangers all around (Passes by) Like a pain, like the only friend I've found But if you mix self-confidence with some common sense Maybe then you'll realise you touch me never, never, ever (Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever) Everlone, everlone A thousand fake heroes appear at the throne Of everlone, into the great unknown Leavin' it all to fate for a while For a while, 'til the fire in my eyes passes by

Passin' information now I'm waitin' at the station for the train Fools that threw their mouths about With nothing more to do but pass the blame Seems there isn't any reason to remain, yeah Second, third and fourth-hand words Their twisted lips spit out the same old lines On and on, the grapevine gathers Anyone who needs that kinda high Those whose tired little lies ain't worth the time, ah And it's shame on me If it's all the same to you All the time I see Someone try to put the blame on me Passin' information now I'm waiting at the station for the same old train

She's always busy caring 'cos that's all she's ever done She's a thousand Florence Nightingales all rolled up into one And (well) people take advantage but she loves her fellow friend With a slow, slow count from ten... When strangers die around her she still cries herself to sleep And she seldom gets the chance to pick the company she keeps And the ring around her finger is a ring around her past And a youth that couldn't last When people ask if she's OK she doesn't even answer Her mind is set on auto-think, for heaven knows how long With the body of an angel and the features of a child CHORUS: She's miles and miles and miles and miles away She's the miles away girl, 'cos she's the miles away girl And she slaps miles and miles of smiles on every face She's the miles away girl, she's the miles away girl She's the miles away girl, right next to (me) She send a men to slumber-land with just one little kiss Her silence is refreshing and her honesty is bliss She's probably clairvoyant but she never had the call But that's not long at all... Her head's up with the stars because she knows that's where she's heading The good guys think she's different the rest just think she's weird She doesn't eat, she doesn't sleep, she's thinking all the while CHORUS And maybe you're the angel I knew that you could be Well that must be the reason you bring out the devil in me Deep under the covers, an easy place to hide And imagine the world isn't really going on outside But you never seem to have any money 'cos the decent people never get paid But there's never really ever a problem' cos you can get miles away, miles away, miles away CHORUS

"Gee mister, you got the best answering machine message I ever heard" Drags me round all day just like a ball On a chain or tooth pain Man I confess, I'm just a mess Do I have to take this shit from you every time I look your way or say "Hey!", it's about time You show me yours and I'll show you mine And I hope you can keep that turd-eating grin of yours Upon your face when you find that you're thrown to one side 'Cause no-one likes a long roller coaster ride 'Cause she's the kind of girl who'll take your heart And leave you feeling worse than you did at the start 'Cause she's a headfuck, my baby is a headfuck In a bygone age engaged in the passion trip A final score was required just to make it worthwhile All the patience and the wasted time But it seems today, the play did mutate Into a movie scene where the aim is to get the best line Crashing heads for the second time 'Cause she's the kind of girl who'll break your mind And make an easy meal of the sensitive kind 'Cause she's a headfuck, my baby is a headfuck Waaaah! Oh, no Day tripper, prick teaser, yeah So a parting word to those young unfortunates That cannot get to sleep 'til one little snake uncurls Raise a glass to the underworld You can try all week and still keep on waiting It's a messed up, stressed out, loss situation Where pearls end up changing into headfuck girls 'Cause she's the kind of girl who'll steal your smile And chuck it over there on the rest of the pile 'Cause she's a headfuck, my baby is a headfuck 'Cause she's a headfuck, my baby is a headfuck 'Cause she's a headfuck, my baby is a headfuck Headfuck me! (Headfuck, headfuck, headfuck, headfuck) (Headfuck, headfuck, headfuck, headfuck) (Nice knowing)

Can't believe that I got so down I dropped my guard again, hit me, hit me Palpitations and goo-goo eyes The transformation is sad and sickly She pulled out a Tyson from out of the blue And met with a sickening crunch She got me, woah, she got me She got me with a suckerpunch Senses reeling from too much shit I hit the floor again, panic, panic Calm and cold as a witch's tit Sometimes I think that that girl's mechanic With all of the shit that flew out of my lips There’s no use in asking much She got me, woah, she got me She got me with a sucker, sucker, sucker Woah, you fucker! One, two, three, four! Why I see her face in a million stars, I'm wondering? Thought I had good taste 'til I found I'd none at all Nearly did appear as the asshole of the year And then she strikes And now I'm back, the guy I'd been Before the idiot set in Can't believe that I got so down It probably happens on a daily basis Many millions of messed up minds Compete to win in the loser races Peeling my mind like she's one of a kind Or maybe just out to lunch She got me, woah, she got me She got me with a suckerpunch

Here's the eighth of the seven wonders Here's the pain but without a crime Here's to all the baby shit, so major at the time From the last of the great pretenders To the new television age And the few who still remember passion over rage We changed, we didn't even try We opened up our mouths For telling all those lies to ourselves And everybody helps ‘Cause we're just wanters, not needers Hypocrites and cheaters This is the news of the world Pseudo-heroes masturbating our egos This is the news of the world The news of the world I could hide in the foreign legion I could live in the south of France I could pick a thousand reasons given half a chance But the pricks are the whole world over Every sex, every colour of skin Maybe we're just too far gone to shake the mess we're in We changed and we didn't even try We opened up our mouths For telling all those lies to ourselves And everybody helps 'Cause we're just wanters, not needers Hypocrites and cheaters This is the news of the world Pseudo-heroes masturbating our egos This is the news of the world Take me far away from it all The news of the world (What's next?)

I can be anything I want to be, anything you hate in me multiplied by twenty three Sometimes in my head I think I'm someone else that makes me feel bad, badder than before It's my life, my time, I can do what I wanna do When did I give you an invite to come round here, make me feel bad, badder than before It's my life, my time, I can do what I wanna do It's my solo party, it's my body, and if I choose to abuse it with my lifestyle and my music What the fuck!
