Big Audio Dynamite Album

One, two, three, four

Mummy was a hostess, daddy was a drunk
'Cos they didn't love me then, I turned out a punk
An ex house full of memories, memories and junk
Never had a childhood, I turned out a punk
Better learn how to play guitar with a plink and a plunk
I didn't like jazz, I didn't like funk
I turned out a punk
I turned out a punk
Slowly started slipping down 'till my ship was sunk
Going nowhere in my life, I turned out a punk
Didn't care 'bout anyone, sat 'round smoking skunk
Didn't know what I had done, I turned out a punk
Better learn how to play guitar with a plink and a plunk
I didn't like jazz, I didn't like funk
I turned out a punk
I turned out a punk

Better learn how to play guitar with a plink and a plunk
I didn't like jazz, I didn't like funk
I turned out a punk
I turned out a punk
Woke in the afternoon with a mouth full of gunk
Blob out with my video, I turned out a punk
Took my disabilities, packed them in a trunk
Rock 'n' roll's alright by me, I turned out a punk
Better learn how to play guitar with a plink and a plunk
I didn't like jazz, I didn't like funk
I turned out a punk
I turned out a punk
I turned out a punk
I turned out a punk

Plug is a thug and drugs are for mugs
Adolf's that runt from the National Front
Drop in the shop, it's all coming on top
I'm cross with the boss, but no way could I give a toss

On the psycho wing and I ain't done nothing
On the section 3 when I oughta be free
On the psycho wing and I ain't done nothing
On the section 3 when I oughta be free

I'm addicted to fags and I'm out on the blag
And this worm on the firm has been giving me ag
I'm sore I'm at war, man, this is hardcore
And it's such a bore, gonna check myself in to the second floor

On the psycho wing and I ain't done nothing
On the section 3 when I oughta be free
On the psycho wing and I ain't done nothing
On the section 3 when I oughta be free

And it really ain't fair for the geezers down there
In the pits of despair and the thousand yard stare
I don't easily scare but you'd better beware
The who, why, what, and where, doesn't anyone care?

Had a smoke with this bloke, had a poke for a joke
But the pace in this place, had to smash in his face
I gave Dick a kick, 'cause he's such a prick
Gonna run outta luck, but really I don't give a fuck

On the psycho wing and I ain't done nothing
On the section 3 when I oughta be free
On the psycho wing and I ain't done nothing
On the section 3 when I oughta be free

And I'm down forty days, and I sleep and I sweat
And it buzz in your head and I swear in my bed
Go, I guess, solve it out and I'm out, I'm about
Could take care and I get to share

On the psycho wing and I ain't done nothing
On the section 3 when I oughta be free
On the psycho wing and I ain't done nothing
On the section 3 when I oughta be free

On the psycho wing and I ain't done nothing
On the section 3 when I oughta be free
On the psycho wing and I ain't done nothing
On the section 3 when I oughta be free

Insane

On the psycho wing and I ain't done nothing
On the section 3 when I oughta be free
On the psycho wing and I ain't done nothing
On the section 3 when I oughta be free

"I don't know why I got those type of blues tonight, but uh
Something told me tonight to uh
Get it like I was gettin' it when I first started
You may think I'm puttin' you on, but uh, please believe me, I feel okay
And when I get that feeling like that I go be that
And play a tune that goes something like this"

One, two, three, four

Paint strain drives you insane, too much pressure in you're brain
Chain retain try to maintain the life you lead, keep it humane
Explain the game try to sustain a little hope, who needs to complain?
If your life's mundane, who's to blame? Nothing in this life is ever certain

You gotta push those blues away
Replace them with happiness
Come on and push those blues away
Replace them with happiness

Hope you dope, there's no need to mope, everyone here is trying to cope
On a soapy slope we grab and grope, living inside a kaleidoscope
The Pope don't stope, needs a microscope, driving him out on the daily tightrope
You think you've got the answer, but it ain't no, nothing in life is ever certain

You gotta push those blues away
Replace them with happiness
Come on and push those blues away
Replace them with happiness

Who knows what's in store, what on earth we looking for?
I force myself to push away my blues

You gotta push those blues away
Replace them with happiness
Come on and push those blues away
Replace them with happiness

Try to hold yourself true find a way through, you can review the thankless few
Making life hard by turning the screw, who knows what's the best to do?
Slip the grip of the voodoo, what is due will come to you
Nothing in life is ever certain

You gotta push those blues away
Replace them with happiness
Come on and (you got to) push those blues away
Replace them with happiness

You gotta push those blues away
Replace them with happiness
Come on and push those blues away
Replace them with happiness

It's not too late to start the hate, the people gotta learn to relate
It could be great if we tried to go straight, no more lies to aggravate
Some can't wait to grab the bait, knowing the vibes that it creates
While we wait it out in a right state, nothing in life is ever certain

You gotta push those blues away
Replace them with happiness
Come on and push those blues away
Replace them with happiness

Come on and push those blues away
Replace them with happiness
Come on and push those blues away
Replace them with happiness

You gotta push those blues away
Replace them with happiness
Come on and push those blues away
Replace them with happiness

Come on and push those blues away
Replace them with happiness
Come on and push those blues away
Replace them with happiness
Pushing it away!

You gotta push those blues away
Replace them with happiness
Come on and push those blues away
Replace them with happiness

Come on and push those blues away
Replace them with happiness
Come on and push those blues away
Replace them with happiness
Oh, happy days

One, two, three, four!

Johnny Boy left today for Paris and aftercare
Took the tunnel Eurostar, remember, it's a jungle out there
Passport ticket paid the fare, maximum depht at 100 feet square
You should get the croix de guerre, remember, it's a jungle out there

Keep the faith Percy Faith
I'm gonna try, I swear
585 pax 2 to a pair
Yeah, it's a jungle out there

Froggy street gang bang gang bang, roam across Republic Square
They don't give a shit so beware, remember, it's a jungle out there
Bonjour Yankee millionaire, Zipgun switchblade laisser faire
Smoking eating Camembert, remember, it's a jungle out there

Keep the faith Percy Faith
I'm gonna try, I swear
585 pax 2 to a pair
Yeah, it's a jungle out there

Here we go!

Keep the faith Percy Faith
I'm gonna try, I swear
585 pax 2 to a pair

I heard this voice slicked down my hair, I went out in my underwear
You soppy git, go on, take care, remember, it's a jungle out there

Keep the faith Percy Faith
I'm gonna try, I swear
585 pax 2 to a pair
Yeah, it's a jungle out there

Bye bye!

Got to set her free so she'll fly back to me
Got to set her free so she'll fly back to me

When I got stoned was a brute and a pig
Mistreating myself was something I dig
I treated her bad, I know I've done wrong
I pushed her away and would come on too strong

Got to set her free so she'll fly back to me
Got to set her free so she'll fly back to me

I locked her in jail and threw away the key
I took her for granted, thought of only me
My preoccupation was selfish extreme
It all comes down to a low self-esteem

Got to set her free so she'll fly back to me
Got to set her free so she'll fly back to me

Slowly come round to a new way of being
How badly behaved, I've finally seen
So please forgive me and give me this chance
May I kindly request that we have this next dance?

Got to set her free so she'll fly back to me
Got to set her free so she'll fly back to me
Got to set her free so she'll fly back to me
Got to set her free so she'll fly back to me

"You know, we hear a lot about interactive television, but..."
"This is the newest channel
"I don't think it's gonna take many American soldiers being killed"
"Does night follow day? Does winter follow summer?"
"And now
"What are you doing?"
"Ha ha ha!"
"How many times you can turn on the tv, wondering, just what am I watching?"
"What the heck is on?"

One, two, three, four!

Now I'm back at home I'm pissed
Think of all the things I've missed
Blossoms and wisteria twist, wohoh
The power of my stain clenched fist, wohoh

Now my head is back in bits
Muggy bonehead bleedin' twits
I'm depressed with laughter fits, wohoh
The beauty of my girlfriend's tits, wohoh

Now depends on what you see
I get it all from my TV
I tuned it in so it's blurry
But it's good enough for me

Now my calls are intemised
Called before I realised
Did my thinkin' with my flies, wohoh
Filet 'o fish and fries, wohoh

Now back on the road to hell
Don't you know the feeling well
Who is lying I can't tell, wohoh
Dangerous but ain't life swell, wohoh

Now depends on what you see
I get it all from my TV
I tuned it in so it's blurry
But it's good enough for me

Now depends on what you see
I get it all from my TV
I tuned it in so it's blurry
But it's good enough for me

Now don't go taking liberties
I hate my insecurities
Frustration and anxieties, wohoh
I like seeing in families, wohoh

Now there's hope for everyone
It says so on channel 1
Really life has just begun, wohoh
Peace on Earth and Kingdom Come, wohoh

Now depends on what you see
I get it all from my TV
I tuned it in so it's blurry
But it's good enough for me
Good enough for me
Good enough for me
Good enough for me
But it's good enough for me

One, two, three, four!

Stroke 1 'cause he sprayed a car
They say give him the cane
Sovereignity always goes too far
And causes too much pain

Stroke 4 live from Singapore
They beat him 'till he's raw
Stroke 4 live from Singapore
Don't do it no more

Stroke 2 'cause his hair's too long
Like Jesus nailed to wood
It's obvious that this is wrong
And it does no good

Stroke 4 live from Singapore
They beat him 'till he's raw
Stroke 4 live from Singapore
Don't do it no more

Stroke 3 'cause he chewed some gum
And left it on the ground
This struck me as really dumb
There's still some brutes around

Stroke 4 live from Singapore
They beat him 'till he's raw
Stroke 4 live from Singapore
Don't do it no more

Thinkin' of the other nine hundred and ninety nine
I'm sorry it had to happen but there will come a time
For the other nine hundred and ninety nine

Stroke 4 live from Singapore
They beat him 'till he's raw
Stroke 4 live from Singapore
Don't do it no more

Stroke 4 live from Singapore
They left him with a scar
Stroke 4 live from Singapore
You know who you are

"If the future looks like anything, it looks like Singapore
There are no homeless, there are no poor"

"It's like Disneyland with the death penalty"

"It's the song that tell us about the sun...
The animals cry because they're hungry...
The child cries at night because it's hungry"

I can't go on like this
I need someone to take me away
To an adventurous place
Oh, I can't go on like this

I can't go on like this
I can't live like this, my heart is breaking in two
I need somebody like you
Oh, I can't go on like this

You're eyes are shining up to encourage me
I will walk in your footsteps 'till I come to someone
Who will take me away to an adventurous place
And never again will I have to say
Oh, I can't go on like this
No, I can't go on like this

Holding you is what I miss, I have to let you know
I just can't go on like this, but I can't let you go
Holding you is what I miss, I have to let you know
I just can't go on like this, but I can't let you go

I can't go on like this
I need someone to take me away
To an adventurous place
Oh, I can't go on like this

I can't go on like this
I can't live like this, my heart is breaking in two
I need somebody like you
Oh, I can't go on like this

You're eyes are shining up to encourage me
I will walk in your footsteps 'till I come to someone
Who will take me away to an adventurous place
And never again will I have to say
Oh, I can't go on like this
No, I can't go on like this

Yes?

Nothing you do or you receive
Makes up as a grown up for what a child need

Struggle to fill the need for love
Struggle against the need for love

So these are the kids of today
Can't we come up with a better way
Equal oportunities destroyer
I'll meet you at 7 in the Foyer

Struggle to fill the need for love
Struggle against the need for love

I'm schizophrenic manic depressive
Kids of today surely are agressive
An alca/shoppa/workaholic
Most of music's really chronic

Struggle to fill the need for love
Struggle against the need for love

Kurt Cobain, Edvard Munch "Scream"
Back in town with all life's dream

Struggle to fill the need for love
Struggle against the need for love

Struggle to fill the need for love
Struggle against the need for love

Just can't stop the muzak, keeps on coming
This stewed coffee's really something
Now they say it, but they just don't know it
Yeah, they say it, don't know how to show it

Struggle to fill the need for love
Struggle against the need for love
Struggle to fill the need for love
Struggle against the need for love
