SONG: 30 Years in the Bathroom My lavatory has been my sanctuary And it's easy for you to laugh at me 'Cos I been 30 good years in the bathroom, baby Rubadubdub one man in a tub and it's me Always me CHORUS And now the time has come to share the joke That the latch on the bathroom door is broke And now it's time to let you know That it's only the beat of my heart that is slow Who's fault is this? I deny that it's mine I been stuck in here since 1959 That's 30 good years in the bathroom baby But it's okay, yeah it's okay Cos when they come to take me away I will be clean, I will be clean CHORUS Well I been 30 years in a bad mood, baby But it's okay, yeah it's okay 'cos that's better Than 30 years on the back seat of a car Oh beat me with the pumice stone Eight to the bar CHORUS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SONG: Radio Ass Kiss CHORUS Radio Ass Kiss on the air Say what you like now no one cares Radio Ass Kiss on the air Say what you like now no one's scared I caught the DJ pulling up his trousers I'm staying tight lipped he's doing me a favour I caught the DJ pulling up his trousers Switch the station try another flavour It's not seen, it's not heard It's not mentioned by the spoken word So bugger the plugger cos there'll be another It's easy for the blind to see And gives the company a policy CHORUS God bless the DJ jeepers yowsers Who's got the problem? Just look at my behaviour God bless the DJ jeepers yowsers Peel me off the corss We don't need another saviour It's not seen, it's not heard It's not mentioned by the spoken word So bugger the plugger cos there'll be another I'm not making an apology Or calling it my apology Or calling it my policy CHORUS Thrills kids we've got another coaller, a lady pickpocket from over the water. Jeeze I'm swell for doing her a favour, another dance beat for her sickly little daughter. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SONG: Golden Green She is golden but she's green At all the things that I have seen And the items that I'm hoarding up the back stairs "Give 'em to me, give 'em now" Shut it up you silly cow "How could you say that, even think that, how?" These words are not my own They only come when I'm alone She is loved, she is welcome in my home She's taken all my vitamins Used up my lighter fuel I'm sure she stole all of my pencil lead in school "Oh don't flop, I'll give it back" But woman it's not the lack of my possessions That is making me feel cruel And if she loves me she'll say that she loves me Even lies would shine in her eyes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SONG: Let's Be Other People Introducing one of life's brighter dreams Oh, F, congratulations on your death It's been the greatestt thing you gave to me So generous and selflessly, F. CHORUS Let's be other people You can I can, all girls are boys and women loves man But F, did I thank you on your death? You left a mess and took my wife Will you return to twist the knife, F. CHORUS This is not my tale, it's in a book I read when a man said "Introducing one of life's brighter dreams" But I don't dream, I don't dream, don't call me "Beautiful Loser," don't call me ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SONG: Piece of Sky How did you get so very high You got so high you almost touched the sky Lady luck couldn't wish you more luck than I So take a jump and steal your piece of sky If luck was a bird then you shot it down It's blood and it's feathers they lay spread on the ground I won't look at you and ask why Cos you'd take a piece and stick it in your eye CHORUS No it'll never be the same But we're not to blame So what's the point in making starts When making starts just tears your heart And where's the sense in recompense When recompense don't make no sense at all So take a jump and steal your piece of sky Yeah, take a piece and stick it in your eye CHORUS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SONG: Can't Shape Up The pictures on the wall of faded, don't you get the feeling That it's running away? I'm surprised we even made it this far I'm guilty as charged, I'm running away I can't save you I can't save you and if you don't blame me then I won't blame you I can't even get my eyes to tear It's been this way for more than a year And now I'm gonna play with fear But it's not here I swear I've had the darkest feelings Thought about swinging from the ceiling Don't stop me now 'cos I'm free wheeling And I can't steer And it's not fair, no it's not fair That I'm not there and you Well you shouldn't care I can't shape up, I just can't shape up ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SONG: Don't Let Me Down, Gently CHORUS Don't let me down gently If you have to let me down at all I ain't calling you familiar I don't know your face that well Not like the shaving mirror Hanging up inside your cell I didn't call you here to tell you I didn't call you here at all 'Cos I'm talking to myself again And you're talking to the wall CHORUS It would be great to die together On the first day of the year 'Cos then wee'd be quite legendary Could you volunteer? I don't think of you oh do you think of me Is that often or not at all? And ifyou have to let me down my friend Then kick me to the floor CHORUS Oh say it's not true The things they said we do And how could I explain The pleasure in the pain They're calling us insane Oh the knives, the blood, the bad, the good D'ya think you could, do you? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SONG: Cartoon Boyfriend "There's a worm in my head and a fish in the bed," she said Confused you will be He's got the car on the lawn and he's using the horn again Annoyed she will be CHORUS Cartoon boyfriend when you gonna rub yourself out "There's a girl at my door and she's begging for more," he said "Abused you will be" "If you touch a hair on my head then you'd be better off dead" She said "Oh joking you must be" CHORUS There were pieces of gold in his mouth when they met And now there's just pieces of coal There was a thought in his head the first time she said And now there's just a gaping hole (They call hiim the Crayola Kid, yeah look what he did with his crayons and stuff but, that's not enough, Crayola Kid.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SONG: Good Night Though Goodbye So long Well there's a lady that knows All that glitters is not gold, she said "Don't play that awful song Don't play that awful song, cos then we'll know That the party has gone on too long." I said, "This stairway ain't to heaven This one's to oblivion" She said "You get too drunk, you get too high Oh tell me why Sod this, I'm going home on my own." Goodbye So long ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SONG: Unfaithful She left me once, she left me twice She left me three times or more But no, she didn't leave me at all It's harder to smile when you've lied to a friend But no, it's not hard at all CHORUS So it's back to the house and the wife and the kids It's high time that she realised But no, no it doesn't show It was lucky I brought my disguise Well if things never change I'll be back there again I dare say there's some good in the bad Deceit is a friend I've embraced him with ease I missed out some of the chances I've had CHORUS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SONG: Them, Big Oak Trees Forgive us for the crimes that we are about to commit again Forgive us for the change we've took We are but little men CHORUS Oh I remember better times than these Me, Acorn Man Them, big oak trees And I don't care if it rhymes anymore I've been seen as the money mad Money mad topical bore CHORUS Same way it's always been And as Dave said (with the cough) "Too much too soon" think again Back to the board room, think again Back to the bedroom, back to bed, back to bed Back to bed.......................... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SONG: Room 410 I remember the morning you roared into my room We were trying to find a reason To see though the gloom Don't be worried now Don't be sad I'm not the best daydream That you've ever had When you thought I was expanding my head I'm sorry, I'm embarassed, I"ll remember what you said Don't be angry now Don't be mad I'm the worst fucking nightmare That you've ever had
