Someone up there really likes me They've given me the sight of ninety They've given me the strength of wonder To get out of the shit (I'm under) Tuned the sense of fact or fiction Cram the truth like an addiction Face to face with muso zeros Hide they shyly 'hind their ego (Stop and wait, stop and wait, stop and wait, stop and wait) We could be anywhere, but you choose and bear All the traits (of) the past (so) you act (like) you never take a shit (Fuck) it up, (shake) it down (so) you feel in deep? In need? Inglorious, well take a back stance Shake your face and buckle your pants Wake and see, you're young and free and boring us Inglorious, twenty month lease Anger fuelled on the justice of peers Don't cry pain, you’ll make no change, it's obvious Inglorious Making a name from constant bitching Selling fame? Your public's listening Remember when you loved your rock stars? Were they just as weak (As you are?) Someone out there buys your vision Carries on your blank tradition Weaker men find weaker heroes A weaker generation follows (Stop and wait, stop and wait, stop and wait, stop and wait) We could be anywhere, where the future shares Something fair, (some)thing good (Some)thing better (than) the eighties ever set (Not) for cash, (that) will come when the work is done, intrigued? Inglorious, well take a back stance Shake your face and buckle your pants Wake and see, you're young and free and boring us Inglorious, so make a few steps Scare the wind out of A&R reps Sex and sin with songs that sting in all of us Inglorious Go! Sell it all in an image, cute and sweet All the girls wanna mother you to sleep Still I can hear your bullshit Still I can hear it all... all... all Who will catch you when you fall? Pose (Stop and wait, stop and wait, stop and wait, stop and wait) You could be anywhere, but you choose and bear So you quit, (not) the first, (not) the last (There've) been losers in the past (You) exist (in) an ever-growing list of dead, inbred Inglorious, well take a back stance Take your place and buckle your pants Wake and see, you're young and free and boring us Inglorious, well maybe it's you? Music's all that'll ever get through People tire so quickly of the glamorous Inglorious Inglorious

On and on, you wait so long It only takes a word then you found where it went wrong Fists, gists and communists I feel like a log, it's a dog in onyx Takes me a while and adjust to myself (Ooh, it was something else) Well, it was something else!

And once upon a time, so pure and crystalline The sounds would change to what the mood defined It didn't play a role, it just said bare the soul And then we left it up to crowd control Without a code of dress within the fold Then I heard somebody shout, “Here is in, and now it's out There is no exception to the rule!” Showbiz personalities have become authorities So take a trip, shake it home Make a slip and the time it gets atoned Get it in, get it out Do it right, then there ain't no doubt Well, there ain't no doubt Being schizophonic, schizophonic Schizophonic, schizophonic Schizo If there's a sound you play that doesn't fit today Why not just play the bastard anyway? Ignore those journalists, with just one mind you miss The only voice in what you say is yours So don't get lost in corporate corridors Those that wait to twist the knife from the other side of life Trying to gain some access into yours Oh, but would you be in theirs, shouting orders from your chair? Well, SOS, Hindenburg Get a life from the things you've seen, not heard Mix the colours and watch the smoke If they don't get it then it ain't no joke, no, it ain't no joke It's schizophonic, schizophonic Schizophonic, schizophonic Schizophonic, schizophonic Well you're never alone with a schizophone Well you're never alone with a schizophone Take your time, speak your mind Believe their politics, they'll push you on under Feel it all with open eyes You know it's hard to fit, you're something unusual Be inspired, a freak with pride, it's what they'll never be And they will come running, look at them running Plug it in, let it out Look around and there's a lot to shout about Speak nothing and you are nothing Don't be a dead man sucking on teats While the world competes Be schizophonic, schizophonic Schizophonic, schizophonic Schizophonic, schizophonic Well you're never alone with a schizophone Well you're never alone with a schizophone Well you're never alone with a schizophone Well you're never alone with a schizophone Take a risk from your lone time Use it all like a mainline Feeling restless? Supersonic? Got a ticket, getting on it Schizophonic, schizophonic Schizophonic, schizophonic Schizophonic, schizophonic Schizophonic, schizophonic Schizophonic, schizophonic Schizophonic, schizophonic Schizophonic, schizophonic Schizophonic, schizophonic Schizophonic, schizophonic Schizophonic, schizophonic Schizophonic, schizophonic Schizophonic, schizophonic Schizophonic, schizophonic Schizophonic, schizophonic Schizophonic, schizophonic Schizophonic, schizophonic Schizophonic, schizophonic Schizophonic, schizophonic

Shut your mouth, can't you see that I'm ignoring you? Your lips are moving up and down You're trying to get a message through But here and now, I'm absolutely miles away I'm thinking of a million things And none are what you're trying to say You've got to put me out your misery You're talking and you're talking and you (Never shut up and you're bugging me) You're wearing on my patience, on my sanity (Here's 50p, go and phone someone who gives a shit) 'Cause I'm not alone, by myself So go and talk to someone else, ah I've got conversation constipation I just took a small vacation In silence and thunder And your mouth just put me under Stall the rage 'cause All of the good boys and girls in the world do the channel bop All of the good boys and girls in the world do the channel bop All of the good boys and girls in the world do the channel bop Late at night I'd lock myself inside my private room Until the fighting died and normal service was resumed And now I'm back, I guess I never really went away It's kinda cold in here, but it's a welcome stay So when I choke on the silage that you're puking out D'ya mind if I see you as vibrato potato (tata?) Shit out of things that we can talk about So let's try, "Goodbye", see you round mind if I Say au revoir, closing down I tried to warn you, but you're in blab town I've got conversation constipation I just took a small vacation In silence and thunder And your mouth just put me under Stall the rage 'cause All of the good boys and girls in the world do the channel bop All of the good boys and girls in the world do the channel bop All of the good boys and girls in the world do the channel bop Cold Patootie Tango, Cold Patootie Tango Cold Patootie Tango, Cold Patootie Tango 'Cause I'm not alone, by myself So go and talk to someone else, ah I've got conversation constipation I just took a small vacation In silence and thunder And your mouth just put me under Stall the rage 'cause All of the good boys and girls in the world do the channel bop All of the good boys and girls in the world do the channel bop All of the good boys and girls in the world do the channel bop All of the good boys and girls in the world do the channel bop All of the good boys and girls in the world do the channel bop All of the good boys and girls in the world do the channel bop All of the good boys and girls in the world do the ch…

Now that I've changed and the rest have all stayed Well, why do I feel so confused? Some of the best of me plans have been laid And some of me best moments used I've been out for the count in a Mexican bar-o Stranded in nowhere with a-nothing but me Ah, lads, I daen't understand - I'm a Geordie in Wonderland Some of the shit has sprouted in roses And some of the roses have died Forced by meself to follow conviction And ignore what I'm missing inside I've been loved by the sweetest and hated by heroes Life's still (a) surprise and the friends come and go Ah, lads, I daen't understand - I'm a Geordie in Wonderland (whoop-whoop, whoop-whoop) I've had praise I've had ridicule, either meant nothing Faced with the task of tomorrow's demands Oh, lads, I daen't understand - I'm a Geordie in Wonderland Oh, lads, I daen't understand - I'm a Geordie in Wonderland (whoop-whoop) Oh, lads, I daen't understand - I'm a Geordie in Wonderland

Back on my planet, they laugh at my jokes And everyone drinks and everyone smokes No-one speaks 'less there's something to say There's no false words, just telecommunique Back on my planet you cannot tell lies 'Cause everyone can see it by the look in your eye Parties that last for a couple of days No one sleeps 'cause beds are prohibited Back on my planet, silence is granted We're laughing at the earthlings Back on my planet, back on my planet (And meanwhile) Back on my planet where dinosaurs roam With uncut TV beaming into your home Is Mother Nature being eager and free? Money don't talk, just giving ability Back on my planet, rules are all slanted We're tokin' to be broken Back on my planet, back on my planet Back on my planet Take a trip down an open road And the eyes on an evening star Gets to move a bit closer to the ground Like night at play Wanna know what I need to know Wanna see that we ain't in charge Where the superpowers will try to run it down All alone, you're not alone 'Cause it's a meeting time for a different neighbour Small and slight and grey There's something going on There's something going on There's something going on Look into those eyes, it comes as no surprise “It's little more than science fiction,” the government replies They could be taking our daughters They could be taking our ladies Making sky babies, sky babies Sky babies I, I'm looking at the sky tonight Everything clear defined just like the last time All ideas inside my head Anything like a real one I'm looking from the floor tonight Weary of humankind, tired of the chains that bind Wasting time on diatribe And all the time the walls are closing in I'm feeling stuck inside again When something more divine than suicide More generous than fate 'Cause when I get to see a new sun arise I'll be myself, blame it on the other side I'll slip away, I'll do it with ease I'll take a cheap seat, please 'Cause you're the only one thing I wanna know So won't you take me with you when you go? And there's a million feelings I wanna show If you take me with you when you go Yesterday's dreams don't mean nothing it seems 'Cause the big life keeps them waiting And the people we find with a polythene mind They just don't care at all And the halcyon days are fearless and staged As a memory plays it one more time Here today, gone tomorrow This is it in layman's terms, phenomenon of UFOs Is well acknowledged by the States but secret to the President Employed to be a public face and keep the public feeling safe But higher powers in the government hide something a million times The size of the killing of JFK, the CIA are aware that higher Powers exist with untold knowledge of life and death dimension, it could Alter public awareness of religion which is the only faith that Keeps us all in true control and that's why we can never know They're shaking, and they're fucking us again 'Cause you're the only one thing I wanna know So won't you take me with you when you go? And there's a million feelings I wanna show If you take me with you when you go 'Cause you're the only one thing I wanna know If you take me with you when you go And there's a million feelings I wanna show If you take me with you when you go 'Cause you're the only one thing I...

Eureka, eureka, you reek of the cheaper alternative Let's steal now, let's steal now, let's steal from the fashions with a (not to kill) A (dealing, a dealing), a blow job for every corporate executive A-when the lights go out it's you and (palace seats at home )and turns around You'll be there in your dressing-gown and sowing all the seams Be a (summer toth bath) 'cos you've gotta go free, you've got a backstage pass so you're V.I.P I bet you're happy right now but where will you be When they ask you to beg for the cash you demand and you wake at a song 'cos it's all second-hand So bleed it, so bleed it, so bleed like you need it, your free 60 seconds of fame (they've seen it, they've seen it, they've seen all of bleed on the back of) again But if you miss something don't look around there ain't no time you're losing ground They own your flesh by pound by pound those cunts you chose to leave CHORUS: (it's) the cheapest thrill, and it's the quickest meal, try underkill It's the cheapest thrill, it's the quickest meal Try underkill (x4) (x2) It's the cheapest thrill, and it's the quickest meal, try underkill (a-when you don't need skill, try underkill) (x12) I'll do anything, a-just as long as I'm paid (I'll be a big coercion, live for fame) I'll be a rock'n'roll star (but a formulaic) (I'll be a big coercion, live for fame) And then split, with the cash (we only did it 'cos we're broke...)

To be intrigued To be inspired Is all I need Still I reach to find A common ground I'm likened to And feel a part Of our humankind Crouching round As though I hold some thought Distraught, we grow And still it's called a gift

Out of the misery to wash my soul Follow me 'round with a blue eight count I only came to rock 'n' roll Check in the mirror and I don't mind If it's a face that secures my place Then I'll leave it all behind So I gave it the distance, avoidin' the business And me? In time, let it shine, let it shine Well, I wanna go where the people go, yeah (I wanna go where the people go, yeah) I wanna go where thе people go, yeah (I wanna go whеre the people go, yeah) Take me there, anywhere Just as long as there's an atmosphere We'll be 'round, 'round, 'round Come on down, we all went down Takin' the time out to look and learn Not a regret to carry 'round And no bridges left to burn Living a cliché, go 'round and around Suffer the present and the past Until somethin' else is found If pride is a memory, is nobody angry? And me? In time, let it shine, let it shine Well, I wanna go where the people go, yeah (I wanna go where the people go, yeah) I wanna go where the people go, yeah (I wanna go where the people go, yeah) Take me there, anywhere Just so long as there's an atmosphere We'll be 'round, 'round, 'round Come on down, we all went down Well...
