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

Top to tail with good advice To get to know me, if I could only be A little bit more like Jesus Christ Is that so easy? You know the lady likes Passion, wisdom, wealth and wonder Custom made at retail price Well, it all sounds good to me And it'll happen naturally if you Show a little love, show a little emotion It ain't a sin to be cryin' Show a little pain, show a little emotion, babe Maybe show a little love for Take one chance, you could be right So what's your problem? You're only softenin' The pressures of one more lonely night But that's so easy, we know the lady likes Pleasures found in downtown places Whisky straight and drugs for free Where folks don't really care But there's a sense of style you share if you Show a little love, show a little emotion It ain't a sin to be cryin' Show a little pain, show a little emotion, babe You could show a little love for me (You say you're mine, but you don't show it) (You say I'm blind, and man I know it) But I can show my feelings aloud Without the fear of splittin' with the crowd So baby, don't say you love me Because you're scared of givin' friendship 'case you never get it back Mistakin' independence for the courage that you lack You're terrified of missin' out on changes in the scene So you cling on to your status like some life-support machine 'Cause weakness is too feminine, you're dressed up like a boy 'Til you get so fuckin' down, you forgot what girls enjoy You'll realise the compromise was not what they said it would be So why don't you show me? Come on Show a little love, show a little emotion It ain't a sin to be cryin' Show a little pain, show a little emotion, babe You could show a little love, show a little love for

Whenever I'm on top there's someone trying to take me down {wah wah} They say I've got to tag along to all this shit that's going 'round Best times of my life sometimes I spend alone (impress me) I can never trust in you so how could you deserve me I'm poor, make me hot, give me glory or not, I'm sick of being Uh-ha They say that I never could be a something Climb on a job without putting me down If I don't get nothing but I stay down then When I try... by... set my... self under (chew) on nobody else (love hunger) Ever tried being yourself? (love hunger) Give me some time on my own ('cos I wonder) Leave me a long... hair... yeah... heh... CHORUS: Honey turn the TV down I get a (ride/line) on their saying, and pass it around If it works for you, it'll work for us, so Gimme a little dangerlust Gimme a little dangerlust D-d-d-dayglo buffaloes blew me away Stranger the eye was 'tween the dust and the day Mile-high sweet as (tie) show me a sign I'm smiling away 'cos I know that it's mine CHORUS Gimme a little dangerlust {mellow-sky-babies-style outro}

Hi! I feel low, like I just don't know which way to go It's a game, it's a play, and it's waiting to blow any day 'cos I want it, need it, shit it and breathe it Breaking the thorn in my side With the hollow views and the last week's news I'm inclined to be blind out of something to do CHORUS: In the Town - I never get enough of it Town - I only get too much of it Town - I'm falling out of love with it The price goes up, the lives go down, I'm so sick of London town Cold to the bone, and I still don't know which way is home And the chains keep me tied to the parasite city of lies To the fakers, mimers, two-feet climbers, let's drink a toast to the town When the stories rebound try to hold me down, you Make me thankful for who I am CHORUS I used to hear them blowing up the radio, I'd hear the music and I'd go to see the show It don't mean much to me, all the same Like I'm standing in the crowd with only myself to blame Yeah, should I go for the throat? Or just wade through the quicksand? Of this rock in the wasteland Instead of sleazing around being a Guns n' Rose While they're choking on whiskey to complete the pose Where'd the good times go? CHORUS CHORUS London town x3 Town London town, London town, London town (x3)
