How could we not notice it before?
Well you may as well have pinned it to my door
Well lately I'm so oh so slowly coming around
To the fact that this friend is a friend no more

And if you think you're right then you are wrong
No one ever really knew what's going on
Now we're all so slowly coming around
And this friend of a friend was no friend all along

The penny drops from the top of Tour Eiffel
Through the boulevards to Taj Mahal

A penny more through the floor of Sacre Coeur
From the Spanish mane to the Yorkshire moors

. . .


What did you learn today?
I did nothing!
What did you do today?
I did nothing!
What did you learn in school?
I didn't go!
Why didn't you go to school?
I don't know!

It's cool, to know nothing
It's cool, to know nothing

Television 's on the blink,
there's nothing on it,
I really wanna really be cool
with words on it,
What do you want for tea?
I want crisps!
Why don't you join for tea?
I just did it!

It's cool, to know nothing
It's cool, to know nothing

Take a look, take a look, take look
at the kids on the street,
no they never miss a beat, no they never miss a beat,
never miss a beat, never miss a beat, beat
beat, beat
Take a look at the kids on the street, no they never miss a beat,
no they never miss a beat, never miss a beat
never miss a, never miss a beat, never miss a beat

Here comes the refferee,
well that's last year!
Best bit of the day,
now that's needed
Why don't you run away?
Are you kidding!
What is the golden rule?
You said nothing

It's cool, to know nothing
It's cool, to know nothing

Take a look, take a look, take look
at the kids on the street,
no they never miss a beat, no they never miss a beat,
never miss a beat, never miss a beat, beat
beat, beat
Take a look at the kids on the street, no they never miss a beat,
no they never miss a beat, never miss a beat
never miss a, never miss a beat, never miss a beat

Take a look, take a look, take look
at the kids on the street,
no they never miss a beat, no they never miss a beat,
never miss a beat, never miss a beat, beat
beat, beat
Take a look at the kids on the street, no they never miss a beat,
no they never miss a beat, never miss a beat
never miss a, never miss a beat, never miss a beat

In nights of old, they lie in the roads.
Off with their heads, and always lead opinion polls.

Going in and out of, another state of, try not to be obvious, with the ringside seats.

In uniforms, of green and gold,
Like crocodiles they march in files of unison.

Going in and out of, another state of, try not to be obvious, with the ringside seats.
Going in and out of, another state of, try not to be obvious, you get the first one free.

I like it too much, I like it too much.
I like it too much, I like it too much.

Coz you are, descended from animals, and you are constructed of chemicals. The one thing you cant have, you like too much.

You look but you cannot touch.

Like dominoes, one only goes. They all fall, sail the ship, rock the boat.

Going in and out of, another state of, try not to be obvious, with the ringside seats.
Going in and out of, another state of, try not to be obvious, you get the first one free.

I like it too much I like it too much.
I like it too much I like it too much.

Coz you are, descended from animals, and you are constructed of chemicals. The one thing you cant have, you like too much.

You look but you cannot touch. I like it all too much.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

Coz you are, descended from animals, and you are constructed of chemicals. The one thing you cant have, you lie too much.

You look but you cannot touch. I like it all too much.

Yesterday you lay awake on your bed
And worked out you'd done everything that you said
That you'd do before you got to this age
The lord of the bored and a slave to the beige

It's a mystery
It's a mystery
You want some history
It's a mystery

So last night you got up and out of this room
The ceiling is peeling and covered in gloom
But jaguar shoes is a place you can stare
A procession of lessons in what not to wear

It's a mystery
It's a mystery
You want some history
It's a mystery

Today while you shake of the drunken debris
All that is left is the vague memory
Of down in the grout of a night on the tiles
It's hard to remember but totally worthwhile

It's a mystery
It's a mystery
You want some history
It's a mystery

It's a waste of money you have to admit
If it's a waste of money you have to have it
It's a waste of brains but hard to resist
If you wanted mystery you've blown it

It's a waste of money you have to admit
If it's a waste of money you have to have it
It's a waste of brain cells hard to resist
If you wanted history you missed it

If the girls start moving the boys will start moving
If the girls start moving the boys will join in

. . .


Well, nothing I said's so important
That it can't be shortened
To fit on a badge
I wish that I could be God
Try to deliver a soundbite
But it is the catch

I can't say what I mean
I can't say what I mean

Everybody applauds her
From the lord to the hordes
And the nation is swept
By a one-to-one conversation
In adult education
I would tell her except

I can't say what I mean
I can't say what I mean
I can't say what I mean
Do you know
When you go
I get all tounge tied
I'm the same
All the game
Oh and you were right

Can't say you're unattractive
But I'm out of practice
In this sort of thing
It's not like I'm talking Italian
Or I wear a medallion
And a sovereign ring

I can't say what I mean
I can't say what I mean
I can't say what I mean
Do you know
When you go
I get all tounge tied
I'm the same
All the game
Oh and you were right

What a face
What a face
Can you blame me for pulling a face
What a waste
What a face

Great things can be expressed
In fifteen words or less
And bring that to your heart
Words just don't do it justice
The world and its crust
Is still drifting apart

I can't say what I mean
I can't say what I mean
I can't say what I mean
Do you know
When you go
I get all tounge tied
I'm the same
All the game
Oh and you were right

Do you know
When you go
I get all tounge tied
I'm the same
All the game
Oh and you were right

What a face
What a face
Can you blame me for pulling a face
What a waste
What a face

Follow the underdog
Hold on his collar tight
This city loves a scrap
One day its gonna fight

Sticks and stones and animal bones
Cant stop me from having a good day on a bad day
There's good days and bad days

Making a night of it
Breaking the barriers
Drowning the sorrows
Upset the regulars

Sticks and stones and animal bones
Can't stop me from getting away with
Good days and bad dayayays
There's good days and bad dayayays

Oooah hey hey, hey hey
Hey hey, hey hey
Oooah hey hey, hey hey
Hey hey, hey hey

(Good days and bad days)

Sticks and stones and animal bones
Sticks and stones and animal bones
There's good days and bad dayayays
There's good days and bad dayayays

Hey hey, hey hey
Hey hey, hey hey
Hey hey, hey hey
Hey hey, hey hey

If you had a different attitude
Instead of taking taking to
You have missed an opportunity
And that's a really big mistake
If you had a different attitude
You'd still have good days and bad daaayayayayayss

Hey hey hey

. . .


Like a tomato in the rain
I got that feeling again
Like a greyhound in a race
I've got a rabbit to chase
Roll under me no ones going down
You got the remedy, what's going around?

Like a beetle on its back
I've got to get back on track
Or a police man on a tape
Waiting down in the lane
If the wheel comes off your car
Hammer it and nail it or 2
Before it falls apart
Add more nails and glue

Yes I do know about you
Shall I come home?

I got that feeling again

I got that feeling again

Roll around with me, no ones going down
You got our memories it all comes back around

Yes I do know about you
Shall I come home?
Yes I do know about you
Shall I come home?

Girl and boy
Everythin' in full swing
Heads or tails
Doesn’t make a difference

Beneath the glamour
There was always gonna be
Amateur dramatics
Alot of bad behavior

I would see (I is said like ah?)
Glasses on the table
One, two, three
Only you and me

Wearing nothin’
In the lap of luxury
Sip it slowly
Not a leg to stand on

Take my money
Twist our paper

Leave the table
Bad behaviour

I got my spies
Swift to every consultlate
Be my eyes
Tell me what i never see

Cos a ghost
Dont fear a lover
Nothin’ teath blank ah
Get ready for the credit clubber

Secret moore
Gettin’ it together
With a big fat bowl
Of alphabet spaghetti

Watch the birdie
Lookin’ through the mirror
Polly wanna cracker
Thats not what i heard

I will not lie to you
But I defiantly only gave you half the truth
I wil not lie to you ooo ooo

I will not lie to you
But I defiantly only gave you half the truth
I wil not lie to you ooo ooo

Ahhh
Ahhhh

Gentlemen
Turn off your recorders
I can hear them buzzin’
From inside of you’re tracksuits

Got to get
To California
Where this woman is
Threatening to sue me

Get right back
Back to the beginning
Where we start off single
And everythin' in full swing

Everyone
Around you wearing big gold hatscome on
Playin the piano now

Rapping

Listen... I wont lie
So baby dont cry
The way I'm feeling right now
I'm feeling so high
I cant tell you the truth
Baby you know why
Cause everybody talks about me
I'm a known guy
I'll tell you half the truth
At least I told you half
For all the rest of it
I'll tell you if you only ask
Cause I'm a gold digga
And I should know better

. . .


Yeh! We plugged it in
And we turned it on
And we made it up
As we went along

And it always happens like that

So we made a film
Starring you and me
Just hanging around
Turned out to be a smash

And it always happens like that

You can do what you like
But you can't do that
You can say what you want
But you can't say that
You can go anywhere
But you can't go there

That looks like a letter that I don't want to open

And we broke into
The muncipal pool
And we turned it in-
To a madrigal

And we made a vow
To the holy cow
And we set it up
Just to knock it down

. . .


Woahhhh
Yeahhhhh
Woahhhh

Getting married in the morning
Its hardly peaches and cream
We haven't got a lot in common
Except the daily routine
Nothing on the Television
Just the dust on the screen
So, come on lets get together
Why don't we join a team?

You might as well face it you're addicted to drugs
You might as well face it your addicted...
You might as well face it you're addicted to drugs
You might as well face it your addicted...

Woahhhh
Yeahhhhh
Woahhhh

Greatest poet of the sixth form
Turned out to be a fraud
Man you got a lot of buddies
How do you remember them all?

You might as well face it you're addicted to drugs
You might as well face it you're addicted...
You might as well face it you're addicted to drugs
You might as well face it you're addicted...

You might as well face it you're addicted to drugs
You might as well face it you're addicted...
You might as well face it you're addicted to drugs
You might as well face it you're addicted...

Woahhhhhhh

. . .


Pick the one you like
Love the one you're with
You're going down the wrong road
And it doesn't even matter

A prize in every pack
Take it from the top
You're going down the wrong road
And it doesn't even matter

Remember you're a girl, remember you're a boy
Cause interesting people always spread the joy
Interesting people, get away with it

It's time to run the race
We're all on the way
Going down the wrong road and it doesn't even matter
Show up on the day
Take it all the way
Youre living in the wrong time but it doesnt even matter

Forget that you're a boy, forget that you're a girl
Cause interesting people always rule the world
Interesting people get away with it
All the time

Ooooh, ooooooh
