- StereotypesVer letra
[X]The suburbs they are dreaming, they're a twinkle in her eyeletra de Stereotypes
She's been feeling frisky since her husband said goodbye
She wears a low-cut t-shirt, runs a little B&B
She's most accommodating when she's in her lingerie
Wife swapping is your future
You know that it would suit ya
Yes, the stereotypes
There must be more to life
All your life you're dreaming and then you stop dreaming
From time to time, you know you should be going on another bender
The suburbs they are sleeping, but she's dressing up tonight
She likes a man in uniform, he likes to wear it tight
They're on the lover's sofa, they're on the patio
And when the fun is over, watch themselves on video
The neighbours may be staring
But they are just not caring
Yes, the stereotypes
There must be more to life
All your life you're dreaming and then you stop dreaming
From time to time, you know you're going on another bender
Yes, there must be more to life
Than stereotypes
Wife swapping is your future
You know that it would suit ya
Yes, the stereotypes
There must be more to life
All your life you're dreaming and then you stop dreaming
From time to time, you know you should be going on another bender
Yes, there must be more to life
Than stereotypes
All your life you're dreaming and then you stop dreaming
From time to time, you know you should go on another bender
Before you come to offend her - Country HouseVer letra
[X]So the story beginsletra de Country House
City dweller, successful fella
Thought to himself: Ops, I've got a lot of money
Caught in a rat race terminally
I'm a professional cynic, but my heart's not in it
I'm paying the price of living life at the limit
Caught up in the century's anxiety
Yes, it preys on him (preys on him)
He's getting thin (getting thin)
Try the simple life
He lives in a house, a very big house in the country
Watching afternoon repeats and the food he eats in the country
He takes all manner of pills and piles up analyst bills in the country
Oh, it's like an animal farm, that's the rural charm in the country
He's got morning glory and life's a different story
Everything's going Jackanory
Touched with his own mortality
He's reading Balzac, knocking back Prozac
It's a helping hand that makes you feel wonderfully bland
Oh, it's a century's remedy
For the faint at heart (faint at heart)
A new start (new start)
Try the simple life
He lives in a house, a very big house in the country
(Blow, blow me out, I am so sad)
He's got a fog in his chest, so he needs a lot of rest in the country
(I don't know why)
He doesn't drink, smoke, laugh, takes herbal baths in the country
(Blow, blow me out, I am so sad)
You should come to no harm on the animal farm in the country
(I don't know why)
(Blow, blow me out, I am so sad
I don't know why)
(Blow, blow me out, I am so sad
I don't know why)
Oh, he lives in a house, a very big house in the country
(Blow, blow me out, I am so sad)
Watching afternoon repeats and the food he eats in the country
(I don't know why)
He takes all manner of pills and piles up analyst bills in the country
(Blow, blow me out, I am so sad)
Oh, it's like an animal farm, that's the rural charm in the country
(I don't know why)
Oh, he lives in a house a very big house in the country
(Blow, blow me out, I am so sad)
He's got a fog in his chest, so he needs a lot of rest in the country
(I don't know why)
He doesn't drink, smoke, laugh, takes herbal baths in the country
(Blow, blow me out, I am so sad)
But you'll come to no harm on the animal farm in the country
(I don't know why) - Best DaysVer letra
[X]Bow bells say goodbye to the last trainletra de Best Days
Over the river they all go again
Out into leafy nowhere
Hope someone's waiting out there for them
Cabbie has his mind on a fare to the sun
He works nights but it's not much fun
Picks up the London yo-yos
All on their own down in SoHo
Take me home
Other people wouldn't like to hear you
(Ooo-ooo-ooh) If you said that these are the best days of our lives
Other people'd turn around and laugh at you
(Ooo-ooo-ooh) If you said that these are the best days of our lives
I think
Trellick Tower's been calling
I know she'll leave me in the morning {dew}
In hotel cells listening to dial tones
Remote controls and cable moans
In his drink he's talking
Gets disconnected sleepwalking back home
Other people wouldn't like to hear you
(Ooo-ooo-ooh) If you said that these are the best days of our lives
Other people'd turn around and laugh at you
(Ooo-ooo-ooh) If you said that these are the best days of our lives
Of our lives
Other people wouldn't like to hear you
(Ooo-ooo-ooh) If you said that these are the best days of our lives
Other people'd turn around and laugh at you
(Ooo-ooo-ooh) If you said that these are the best days of our lives
(I'm going home) Other people'd break into a cold sweat
(Aaa-aaa-aah) If you said that these are the best days of their lives
(I'm going home) And other people'd turn around and laugh at you
(Aaa-aaa-aah) If you said that these are the best days of our lives
Of our lives
Of our lives - Charmless ManVer letra
[X]I met him in a crowded roomletra de Charmless Man
Where people go to drink away their gloom
He sat me down and so began
The story of a charmless man
Educated the expensive way
He knows his claret from his Beaujolais
I think he'd like to have been Ronnie Kray
But then nature didn't make him that way
Na na nana na, na na
Na na nana na, na na
He thinks he's educated airs
Those family shares
Will protect him
That we'll respect him
He moves in circles of friends
Who just pretend
That they like him
He does the same to them
And when you put it all together
There's the model of a charmless man
Na na nana na, na na
Na na nanana na na, na na
He knows the swingers and their cavalry
Says he can get in anywhere for free
I began to go a little cross-eyed
And from this charmless man I just had to hide
Na na nana na, na na
Na na nana na, na na
He talks at speed, he gets nose bleeds
He doesn't see
His days are tumbling
Down upon him
And yet he tries so hard to please
He's just so keen
For you to listen
But no one's listening
And when you put it all together
There's the model of a charmless man
He thinks he's educated airs
Those family shares
Will protect him
That you'll respect him
And yet he tries so hard to please
He's just so keen
For you to listen
But no one's listening
And when you put it all together
There's the model of a charmless man
Na na nana na, na na
Na na nana na, na na
Na na nana na, na na
Na na nana na, na na
Na nana na, na na
Na nana na, na na
Na nana na, na na na - Fade AwayVer letra
[X]They stumbled into their livesletra de Fade Away
In a vague way became man and wife
One got the other
They deserved one another
They settled in a brand new town
With people from the same background
They kept themselves busy
Long hours left them dizzy
Now when
He's in
She's out
All you ever do is fade away
All you ever do is fade away
He's not making plans
'Cause now they understand
All you ever do is fade away
He noticed he had visible lines
She worried about her behind
Their birth had been the death of them
It didn't really bother them
Now when
She's in
He's out
All you ever do is fade away
All you ever do is fade away
She's not making plans
'Cause now she understands
All you ever do is fade away
When
He's in
She's out
All you ever do is fade away
All you ever do is fade away
They're not making plans
'Cause now they understand
He must learn to forget
Because this is all you'll ever get
All you ever do is fade away
All you ever do is fade away
All you ever do is fade away
They're not making plans
'Cause now they understand
All you ever do is fade away - Top Man
- The UniversalVer letra
[X]This is the next centuryletra de The Universal
Where the Universal's free
You can find it anywhere
Yes, the future's been sold
Every night we're gone
And to karaoke songs
How we like to sing along
Though the words are wrong
It really, really, really could happen
Yes it really, really, really could happen
When the days they seem to fall through you
Well, just let them go
No one here is alone
Satellites in every home
Yes, the Universal's here
Here for everyone
Every paper that you read
Says tomorrow's your lucky day
Well, here's your lucky day
It really, really, really could happen
Yes, it really, really, really could happen
When the days they seem to fall through you
Well, just let them go
Well, it really, really, really could happen
Yes, it really, really, really could happen
When the days they seem to fall through you
Well, just let them go
Just let them go
Just let them go - Mr. Robinson's Quango
- He Thought Of CarsVer letra
[X]Moscow's still red, the young man's deadletra de He Thought Of Cars
Gone to heaven instead
The evening news says he was confused
The motorways will all merge soon
Lottery winner buys the moon
They've come to save us
The space invaders are here
He thought of cars
And where, where to drive them
And who to drive there with
But there, there was no-one, no-one
There's panic at London Heathrow
Everybody wants to go up into the blue
But there's a ten year queue
Columbia is in top gear
It shouldn't snow this time of year
America's shot she's gone and done the lot
He thought of planes
And where, where to fly to
And who to fly there with
But there, there was no-one, no-one
He thought of cars
And where, where to drive them
And who to drive there with
But there, there was no-one, no-one - It Could Be YouVer letra
[X]Churchillletra de It Could Be You
Got his lucky number
Tomorrow there's another
Could be me
Could be you
No silver spoon
Sticky teeth, they rot too soon
You've got to have the best tunes
Or that's it
You've blown it
All we want is to be happy
In our homes like happy families
Be the man on the beach with the world at his feet
Yes, it could be you
The likely lads
Are picking up the uglies
Yesterday they were just puppies
Beery slurs
Now life's a blur
Telly addicts
You should see them at it
Getting in a panic
Will we be there
Trafalgar Square?
All we want is to be happy
In our homes like happy families
Be the man on the beach with the world at his feet
Yes, it could be you
Could be me
Could be you
Should be me
Should be you
But don't worry
If it's not your lucky number
'Cos tomorrow there's another
Could be you
Could be me - Ernold SameVer letra
[X]Ernold same awoke from the same dream in the same bed at the same timeletra de Ernold Same
Looked in the same mirror made the same frown
And felt the same way as he did every day
Then ernold same caught the same train at the same station
Sat in the same seat with the same nasty stain next to same old what's his name
On his way to the same place to do the same thing again and again and again
Poor old ernold same
Oh ernold same, his world stays the same
Today will always be tomorrow
Poor ernold same, he's getting that feeling once again
Nothing will change tomorrow - Globe AloneVer letra
[X]Who maddest one on the M1letra de Globe Alone
Who hasn't stopped sucking his thumb
Who very straight and never grins
Who cares what car he's driving in
He is because he saw it on a commercial break
And if he doesn't get what he wants
Then he get a headache
'Cos he needs it
Wants it
Almost
Loves it
He's here on his own
On globe alone
Here on his own
Who joined health club to glisten
Into hi-fi precision
Who mobile phone gives him the bone
Who very keen on Sharon Stone
And then he says...
Who eats at the new brasserie
Who only ever gets merry
Who wouldn't be seen at bedtime
Without putting Calvin Klein's on - Dan AbnormalVer letra
[X]Meanie Leanie come on downletra de Dan Abnormal
Come and entertain the town
It's friday night and we're all bored
Times being called there is no more
Times being called it's such a bore
Dan Abnormal not normal at all
It's not his fault we made him this way
He'll imitate you, try to ape you
But it's not his fault Dan watches tv, tv, tv
Meanie Leanie stays up late
Mopes around gets in a state
The killer in your arcade
Shooting gangstas ready made
Cause that is where the future's made
Dan Abnormal not normal at all
It's not his fault we made him this way
He'll imitate you, try to ape you
But it's not his fault Dan watches tv, tv, tv
Dan went to his local burger bar
I want McNormal and chips
Or I'll blow you to bits
Give us it
It's the miseries at half past three
Watching video nasties
He has dirty dreams when he's asleep
Dan's just like you and me
He's the Meanie Leanie
Dan Abnormal not normal at all
It's not his fault we made him this way
He'll imitate you, try to ape you
But it's not his fault Dan watches tv, tv, tv
Dan Abnormal not normal at all
It's not his fault we made him this way
He'll imitate you, try to ape you
But it's not his fault Dan's as normal as me - Entertain MeVer letra
[X]The weekend is backletra de Entertain Me
But so is he
Head to the floodlights
See the fraternity
They're waiting
I hear them up in the north
Down in the south
And all that is spewing
Spewing out of his mouth is
Entertain me
Entertain me
Entertain me
Entertain me
At his and hers dating
Bored minds agree
Requirements to be stated
And replies awaited
She wants a loose fit
He wants Instant Whip
Guesstimates her arrival
Will she want it really badly?
Entertain me
Entertain me
Entertain me
Entertain me
Entertain me
Entertain me
Entertain me
Entertain me
A car, a house, both in a street
The boredom of a sober week
The weekend's here, hip-hip-hooray
To make the blues just go away
Entertain me (a car, a house, both in a street)
Entertain me (the boredom of a sober week)
Entertain me (the weekend's here, hip-hip-hooray)
Entertain me (to make the blues just go away)
Entertain me (a car, a house, both in a street)
Entertain me (the boredom of a sober week)
Entertain me (the weekend's here, hip-hip-hooray)
Entertain me (to make the blues just go away)
Entertain me
Entertain me
Entertain me
Entertain - Yuko & Hiro
