Ready to go, ready to go

You're weird, in tears, too near and too far away
He said, "saw red," went home stayed in bed all day
Your t-shirt's, dish dirt
Always love the one you hurt

It's a crack, I'm back yeah I'm standing on the rooftops shouting out

Yeah yeah
Backword words, he got 'em
Shut up, I'm talking

But when I look at you you're forgiven
You drive too fast and
I smoke too much and
My heart is broken
But when I look at you you're forgiven
You're forgiven

No Android dreamt of Victoria or tube station allergens
Just allergic to the 20th century but hating every morning
Shouting out but nobody hears she said she loved someone
But it didn't begin, so each morning I'm calling

From the rush hour with love
From the rush hour with love
From the rush hour with love
Stop sleeping, stop sleeping

I came back as an insect but in another space and time
I could love and share and feel my feet in the sand
Stuck down the back of the Westway
Time check 8:15, he said he loved someone
But he didn't love him so, each morning I'm calling

From the rush hour with love
(Get up wake up)
From the rush hour with love
(Gonna get gonna get gone)
From the rush hour with love
(Get up, stop)
Stop sleeping, stop sleeping
(Sleeping, sleeping)

From the rush hour with love
From the rush hour with love
(Gonna get gonna get gone)
From the rush hour with love
(Get up wake up, get up)
Stop sleeping, stop sleeping
(Sleeping, sleeping)

Marilyn baby
wants to be a pop star,
shes seventeen & very unhappy,

franky baby, used to be a big fish
he ethnic boy, and aint got no money

holly wouldn't be so precious if the beach bum beauty's werent so
delicious in holly wood

who cares anyway . . .
who really cares anyway . . . .
who cares anyway . . .
who really cares anyway . . . . .

franky baby, see punks on the sidewalk
Freaks on the freeway
Someone blows a kid away
Have a nice day

And sweet sweet Marilyn
A streetwise heroine
A tricks, a fix, a fix, a tricks, a fix, a fix
She'll do anything

And Holly woudn't be so tragic
When everybody trips the light fantastic
In Hollywood
Who cares anyway? Who really cares anyway?
In the Hollywood bowl of serial killers
Who cares anyway?

Holly doesn't give a damn...
Holly doesn't give a damn...
Who cares anyway? Who really cares anyway?
In the Hollywood bowl of serial killers

Ice cold, heart stone
You want fresh meat but I won't eat it
You can't touch me, your insides ugly

It's a slap in the face but you gave it away
You give in to fame then you found yourself high
And you're gonna feel low and you find yourself
Colder than the winter, can't bare to be alone

Faded man

Ice cold, bare bones, you take flesh
And you take aspirin, glad I faked it 'cos now it's ended
'Cos you found yourself high, now you're going below
When your throat becomes dry and you wanna go home

Faded man

But the airports are closed and
Your credit card knows your honesty's
Left back on the runway, screaming
For the phone, it's the fading of a man

Like a slap in the face but you gave it away
You gave in to fame then you found yourself high
And you're gonna feel low and you find yourself
Colder than the winter, melting like the snow

Faded man

And you find yourself high, now you're going below
And your faces are changing like the seasons
Breaking like a bone, it's the fading of a man

Everything that I ever found
I'm switching over to a low tar brand
Got cable video with surround sound
I lie in bed and watch the world go round
Got CNN baby, got ISDN baby

Everything is useless, everything is stupid
Nothing's feeling new
Everything is useless, everybody's clueless
Nothing's feeling new

Got Sherman filters and Virgin Peps
Got mini disc and virtual pets, yeah
Fizzy drinks are gonna rot your brain
Got Patrick Cox mules and Donna Karan

I got the wide screen Star Wars Trilogy
Got belly rings and flings and Hard Candy
That's Urban Decay baby, got Space NK oh, baby

Everything is useless, everything is stupid
Nothing's feeling new
Everything is useless, everybody's clueless
Nothing's feeling new

She said she'd lie for you, she said she'd die for you.
She said she'd fly in the sky, said she'd cry for you.
She said she's proud of you and that she loves you, too
Put on a show, cos she knows what you're going through.

She says I'm looking rough, I'm on a diet and stuff.
Now it's all gone wrong, boy, she knows that it's tough
She says she'll do what she can, cos she's my number one fan
Take a bite, don't fight what he told her last night.

Do you want to know about us?

She's got pretty girl hate.
Funny how a so-called friend delete everything she said
Apologies, they come too late.
She's got pretty girl lies.
Every single time. She's got pretty girl ... hate!

And then she changed her tune in just one afternoon
Hates my guts, won't stop til I'm outta the room
She lets the rumours fly, she got a devious mind
Attitude, bitter fruit, and an evil eye.

She's not a part of my life.

She's got pretty girl hate.
Funny how a so-called friend delete everything she said
Apologies, they come too late.
She's got pretty girl lies.
Black and white, all the time - you do everything in spite.
Your jealousy, it's deep inside.
She's got pretty girl...

Kowloon gardens was some where a short cut through
'Til I met you, now we're lying on your bed
Watching Kung Fu movies, there are no days or nights
Just you and me and Bruce Lee

We shout we fight, we chase the night
But we disagree Kung Fu movies
Kung Fu movies, Kung Fu movies
Kung Fu, Shaolin and fu sang yang, Seng li, all the time

Dragon master, deadly Venoms five, Hong Kong style
Kung Fu movies, Kung Fu movies
Kung Fu movies, Kung Fu
I frustrate you, complicate you, I'll hit and hurt you

It's Hang Seng baby
Cos' one of these days when I make money
I'll blow away these Kowloon gardens
And you and Kung Fu, you and Kung Fu

You and Kung Fu, you and Kung Fu
I'll blow away these Kowloon gardens and
Kung Fu movies, Kung Fu movies
Kung Fu movies, Kung Fu

Ngo jah che hi sickfan, gung hoi fat choy gowlong
Ngo tung kwilo a ma va, leung kar m hoi ta

I want everything, I want everything
I want a limousine, a diamond ring
I want everything
I wanna taste the good life
I wanna sip from the golden cup
I wanna drink champagne in the early morning hours of the city nights
And if I stay out late
Don't wait up for me
I want
One dove, two hearts
A free ride to be who I wanna be
One life, one vision
Street life just for the hell of it
One dove, two hearts
A free ride to be who I wanna be
One life, one vision, one vision
I want the best of both worlds
I want total attraction
I want a piece of the cake,
A piece of the action
I'm gonna take it to the limit
And get more than I bargained for
There's no regrets, make no mistake
I gonna get what I want
Whatever it takes
And if I push too far don't wait up for me
I want
One dove two hearts
A free ride to be who I wanna be
One life, one vision
Street life just for the hell of it
One dove, two hearts
A free ride to be who I wanna be
One life, one vision, one vision
I want everything
I want everything
I want everything
I want everything
I wanna sip from the golden cup
I wanna drink champagne
I wanna sip from the golden cup
I wanna drink champagne
I want everything
I want everything

Turn your head off, turn the music up
Don't let it push you down, out of hand get off
Don't ever think of him, don't ever let him in
He'll go round and round and round
And make your head spin

You're a big boy with a big mouth
Talkin' big time just spit it out
Take the back seat till you feel alright
You get your own way all day, every time

Love me, hate me, hurt me and break me
Want me, take me but don't ever leave me
Don't you ever leave me

Push the boat out, keep your feelings in
He tore your world apart, never start giving him
Don't promise anything, he'll see the state you've been
Hand on your heart, never lasts, didn't it

You got a small mind in a small town
Let your head spin give me the run around
I wish I didn't care, I wish I wasn't there
You get your own way all day, everywhere

Love me, hate me, hurt me and break me
Want me, take me but don't ever leave me
But don't ever leave me
Don't you ever leave me

I wish I didn't care, I wish I wasn't there
You get your own way, all day everywhere

Love me, hate me, hurt me and break me
Want me, take me but don't ever leave me
Hate me, hurt me and break me
Want me, take me but don't ever leave me

Don't you ever leave me
Don't ever leave me

One more day on the roller coaster
If I scream they spin me faster
Everything gone backwards
And its upside down
Stop me dead oh I think I'm falling
Falling from the fourteenth story
One more line and it will be morning
Hit the floor
So stop the traffic
Stop the clock, stop the lot
I wanna get off, I wanna get off with you
I wanna get off, I wanna get off with you
One more job in the supermarket
One more kick to get me started
Everyone get on board
This ship is sinking
Hanging out I don't want to be there
Took a train to another city
Chinese food in a tower block frenzy
Why I'm here is mystery to me
So stop the traffic
Stop the clock, stop the lot
I wanna get off, I wanna get off with you
I wanna get off, I wanna get off with you
Like a speeding car you want more! more! more!
Like a rattlesnake I hate
I wanna get off, I wanna get off with you
Get off
Get off
Like a speeding car you want more! more! more!
Like a rattlesnake I hate
I wanna get off, I wanna get off with you
I wanna get off, I wanna get off with you
I wanna get off, I wanna get off with you
I wanna get off, I wanna get off with you
I wanna get off, I wanna get off with you
I wanna get off, I wanna get off with you
I wanna get off, I wanna get off with you

On heavenly Sunday as he touches your insides
He said the last thing on my mind was to cheat on you
Go down Queensway as you start another fight
You know it spoils my appetite you're a selfish boy

Just sit and wonder as your dreams go up in smoke
You're stealing cars and selling dope
Now you've sold your soul
And I'm hanging out with Mortal Combat 2

And Haagen-Daaz and early cure, how I miss you so
Pub pusher onlookers

Call for pizza there's a pub pusher on the ground
Pub pusher born loser
Call the doctor there's a pub pusher on the ground
Pub pusher tried to kill ya

Call the cops there's a pub pusher on the ground
On his back there's a pub pusher on the ground
Give blood there's a pub pusher on the ground
Pub pusher call the preacher
They don't believe there's a pub pusher on the ground

Pub pusher
Pub pusher
Pub pusher
Pub pusher

You've got red shoes, and the sports car
You think you're really cool, I gotta say
You just don't know what games to play
You like football, and play on saturdays
When the weekends gone, you go to work
In a nasty office as a filing clerk

So don't you tell me, I'm not listening
I've already heard it
You better watch you're back
I'm gonna take you on, I'm gonna take you on
I'm gonna take you on, I'm gonna take you on
I'm gonna take you on, I'm gonna take you on

Mobile, but no conversation
You've got credit cards, megadrive
Fax me lunch, Mr. 9 to 5
You've got timeshare, for your holidays
It's the same routine, the life you lead
The friends you keep, you're lack of taste

So don't you tell me, I'm not listening
I've already heard it
You better watch you're back
I'm gonna take you on, I'm gonna take you on
I'm gonna take you on, I'm gonna take you on
I'm gonna take you on, I'm gonna take you on

(Come out of your darkness)
Get up, alarm clock, lip gloss, what a shock!
Get dressed, front door, more stress what for?
Trapped in your world
You know you're trappped in your world
Lunch hour, fast food, telephone, more abuse
VU, headache, cigarettes, coffee break
Trapped in your world
You know you're trappped in your world
(Come out of your darkness)
Out of the darkness, over the tower blocks
Into the light
Go into the rush hour, out of the factory
Leave it behind
(Come out of your darkness)
Turn on your TV, back to suburbia, every night
Come out of the darkness, over the offices, into the light
(Come out of your darkness)
Leave work, happy hour, too drunk by far
Bus full, waterloo, fall asleep on the tube
Trapped in your world
You know you're trappped in your world
Vodka, lemonade, ashtrays, what a shame
Poor cow, sits alone, pubs closed, go home
Trapped in your world
You know you're trappped in your world
Out of the darkness, over the tower blocks
Into the light
Go into the rush hour, out of the factory
Leave it behind
(Come out of your darkness)
Turn on your TV, back to suburbia, every night
Come out of the darkness, over the offices, into the light
(Come out of your darkness)
Out of the darkness, over the tower blocks
Into the light
Go into the rush hour, out of the factory
Leave it behind
(Come out of your darkness)
Turn on your TV, back to suburbia, every night
Come out of the darkness, over the offices, into the light
(Come out of your darkness)

Picture me, on a postcard
Picture me, on a magazine
Call me
On my private number
You've got my photograph
On your bedroom wall

On a magazine (Once in a while)
Call me (Cause everybody wants her)
On my private number (She makes them smile)
You've got my photograph (And everybody needs her)
On your bedroom wall (Once in a while)

She don't argue, she's on time
She is available
She'll make you feel fine
She is wanted, she is smart
She'll make you special
She's got it down to an art
She don't argue, she's on time
She is available
She'll make you feel fine
She is wanted, she is smart
She'll make you special
She's got it down to an art
She don't argue, she's on time
