SONG: Red Berry Joy Town
 
We knew we'd find you crying
on top of dustbin hill,
grinning at the passers by
through the flowers on your windowsill.
 
This is Red Berry Joy Town,
this is clown around town.
 
Only yesterday I saw you walking with Mr. Dog,
only last week I saw you praying at the synagogue.
Well don't you worry about us,
we're only acting out an epilogue,
And when you get home tonight,
you can stuff it in your...(say no more.)
 
This is Red Berry Joy Town,
this is everybody's down town.

 

SONG: No, For the 13th Time
 
Heaven help the man that said,
"Help me, I think I'm dead,
but wait a while, I'm not completely sure."
But then he didn't speak up
so we buried him 6ft underground,
so what on earth did he think his mouth was for?
 
Don't talk to him about life and death,
we know a part but he knows the rest.
 
Hat's off to the man that said he could,
when he couldn't.
But he didn't get away with it,
never hurt anybody but his face did fit
the frame in which he was set up.
Running out of time, running out of luck.
So what on earth did he think his mouth was for --- ?
 
Don't talk to him about truth and lies,
if he's 6ft tall he's half the size.
 
And damn the man that said he was right, (I'm right)
(not quite)
Hairy arms and sweaty palms
never had no trouble turning on the charms.
Heaven help the man that said,
"I know it's in my head,
but wait a while, I'm not completely sure."
But I know what's mine's me own,
and what's your's is mine.
And I'M telling you NO,
no, for the 13th time.
 


SONG: It's Yer Money I'm After Baby
 
Don't give me love, oh no none of that stuff
cos it's yer money I'm after, baby.
Your love and your kisses they're
just not enough, it's just yer
money I'm after, baby.
 
Well I know that it's hard
and I know that it's tuff
when each thing you're giving me
is just not enough.
Forget your heart, it's your bank
I wanna break, it's just
yer money I'm after, baby.
 
Heaven's above, no I'm not in love
it's just yer money I'm after baby.
I'm sticking with you and, oh,
that's just because
it's yer money I'm after, baby.
 
I'm in love with myself
and nobody else.
 


SONG: Rue The Day
 
I fell into your lonely room today
but I forgotten what I came to say.
 
Wished I'd been somewhere else instead,
a place to get warm and a place to get fed.
Oh what a way for us to spend the day....
 
Happy Day oh happy, come to me, my desire,
come out, oh come out,
you're the fuel to my fire.
 

SONG: Give, Give, Give Me More, More, More
 
Well I hope I make more money than this in the next world.
I hope there's a lot more in it there for me.
I'd like my trousers pressed and my shoes
shined up by a rich girl,
who's only care in the world is me.
 
"But are these all the brains I'm entitled to have?
Don't try to make me happy, when I'm happy feeling bad.
I've got no manners or a hand you shake,
and when I won't tell the truth it's easier to fake."
 
So....(sing title)
I'd like it all.
 
Is the bank big enough?
coming ready or not to the next world.
I hope there's a whole lot more in it there for me.
I'd like my friends to be rich and I'll never do a stitch,
in the next world, and my only care in the world is me.
 
"IS THE BANK BIG ENOUGH
COMING READY OR NOT TO THE NEXT WORLD"
 


SONG: Like A Merry Go Round
 
Surely love is like a merry go round.
(clothes, cars, drinks and girls.  It's all
that game).
 


SONG: The Animals And Me
 
The animals and me have been in league through history,
I love them and they love me,
Oh I have been there.
 
Cats and dogs have got it sussed
they worm their wa into your trust,
spend there whole life getting fussed,
Oh I have been there.
 
For a very long time.
 
The animals and me have been in league through history,
I love the fish in the 7 seas,
Oh I have been there.
 
Cows and sheep suffer great defeats
'cos they weren't quick enough on their feet,
and now we're cooking them up to eat.
Oh I have been there.
 
For a very long time.
 
There's a message here, for what it's worth,
tht the meek shall inherit the earth.
That makes me a heir from my day of birth.
Oh I have been there.
 


SONG: Grin
 
Don't litter my streets
with your bad name
Don't tell the people
that we're the same.
You've got no hope for the future,
so stop looking or someone to blame.
It's about time you learned to laugh again
It's about time you learned to grin,
Cos just closing your eyes
at the things you despise, won't
get you out of the great big mess you're in.
 
So, shake it like a shaking thing
that you never had,
And try to make out life is good
when life is something bad.
Spin 'round like a spinning thing
that you've never seen,
cos the bes thing that you've got
in life, is your
EIGHT LEGGED GROOVE MACHINE... ahh grin.
 
It's about time you learned to laugh again
It's about time you learned to grin,
Oh the jokes run fast,
but the laughing stopped.
What a terrible mess we've gotten in.
 
Don't litter my streets with your bad name
Don't tell all my friends that we're the same
Cos you've never had fun
and your life has just begun
and you're walking around
thinking you're the only one
who's not got anyone left to blame.
 


SONG: Mother And I
 
I'd like to be what some of the fuss is all about,
excuse me mother while I scream and shout,
Pass me the key, I'd like to let myself out and go....
 
Excuse me, mother, I am only bleeding,
is that a family manual you are reading,
Don't you think that it's a little bit too late?
cos I'm already the consequence of somebody else's fate
 
It's a mundane experience living with Mother and I,
you'd rather catch something contraversial and die.
Don't you know that it's making me see red
and I doubt if she's heard a silge word that I've said.
 


SONG: Some Sad Someone
 
I'm sitting watching all the merry
people go by,
So once around the park before I die.
I hate this jealous feeling and I
want to cry,
So once around the park before I die.
 
Don't say that you are sorry, no.
 
It was when she walked away I thought
to myself,
Was it worth all the worry and THE 
risk to my health.
And the opening line of every song
that I heard,
Told about some fella having trouble
with his girl.
 
And don't try to console me,
I don't wonna know.
 


SONG: Ruby Horse
 
Ruby Horse I know of course, that it's you,
Ruby Horse I ran your course, and I'm blue.
(black & blue)
 
I spent friday night with a fly-by-night,
she said, hold on tight,
she said, "Hold on tight".
I'm a son of a gun, I'm a son of a gun
It's a, bad thing I've done....
Me and my mother's only son.
 
Remember us?  I do,
Funny me and funny you.
Oh the sun shone down like marmalade
and covered us like glue
 
Then she turned on me
with all honesty, me and Ruby read,
We never went to bed.
That's the truth of course
me and Ruby Horse, she
left too soon....
Underneath a bright new moon.
 
Ruby Horse I know of course that it's you,
Ruby Horse I ran your course and I'm blue.
Oh Ruby Red I know you're dead and I'm through.
 
Ha, ha, ha.
 


SONG: Unbearable
 
I didn't like you very much when I met you.  Far out.
 


SONG: Poison
 
I'm gonna kiss your face,
and run like thunder.
I'm gonna grab your hair,
and pull you under.
I don't know why sometimes I wonder.
 
Must be the poison.
 
Poisoned right out of my head
think I'm gonna poison you instead.
 
I'm gonna kick you down,
and keep you under.
I'm gonna kiss your face,
and run like thunder.
 
I'm gonna, kick you down and run like th, th, th, thunder,
stick my big fat foot in your face, and run like,
run like, run like, run like,
poison.
