1. Clubland

   Letra

   With a handful of backhanders and a bevy of beauty You're going off limits Going off duty Going off the rails Going off with booty They tell tales of fiction found on all the criminal types Lead to a higher ranking man or a face with thin red stripes Chorus: The boys next door The mums and dads New weds and nearly-deads Have you ever been had in Clubland? There's a piece in someone's pocket to do the dirty work You've come to shoot the pony They've come to do the jerk They leave him half way to paradise They leave you half way to bliss The ladies' invitation never seemed like this Chorus The long arm of the law slides up the outskirts of town Meanwhile in Clubland they are ready to pull them down Hey The right to work is traded in for the right to refuse admission Don't pass out now, there's no refund (When) Did you find out what you were missing The crowd is taking forty winks minus ten percent You barely get required sleep to go lingering with contemptment Thursday to Saturday Money's gone already Some things come in common these days Your hands and work aren't steady Chorus
2. Lovers Walk
3. You'll Never Be A Man2:56
4. Pretty Words3:11

   Letra

   I ask you nicely Get my face slapped under wraps What's going on precisely Is there something wrong perhaps? Surprise, surprise (surprise, surprise) It's more like a booby trap than a booby prize Civil disobedience from a soldier with a dirty rifle You're loosening all the screws that hold the hinges of my life Fat cats and army brats Hep cats and dog tag pawing over girly mags Chorus: Pretty words don't mean much anymore I don't mean to be mean much anymore All I see are snapshots, bigshots, tender spots (1) mug shots, machine slots (2) machine slots, mug shots 'Till you don't know what's what You don't know what you got Curious women running after curious men Curiosity didn't kill the cat It was a poisoned pen But there's not much choice (it's Hobson's choice) Between a cruel mouth and a jealous voice Got back to London Picked a paper from the man No words of consolation Just cartoons and titter tatter Well well, fancy that Millions murdered for a kiss me quick hat No backbone, blood and guts Better keep your big mouth shut Chorus
5. Strict Time2:40

   Letra

   There's a hand on a wire that leads to my mouth I can hear you knocking but I'm not coming out Don't want to be a puppet or a ventriloquist 'Cause there's no ventilation on a critical list Fingers creeping up my spine are not mine to resist Strict time Chorus: Toughen up, toughen up Keep your lip buttoned up Strict time Oh the muscles flex and the fingers curl And a cold sweat breaks out on the sweater girl Strict time Oh he's all hands, don't touch that dial The courting cold wars weekend witch trial Strict time All the boys are straight laced and the girls are frigid The talk is two-faced and the rules are rigid 'cause it's strict time Strict time Chorus You talk in hushed tones, I talk in lush tones Try to look Italian through the musical Valium Strict time Thinking of grand larceny Smoking the everlasting cigarette of chastity Cute assistants staying alive More like a hand job than the hand jive Strict time Chorus
6. Luxembourg2:26

   Letra

   Dressed up like a dog's dinner Butter wouldn't melt in your mouth If this is a dog's life Then you're the cat's clothes They hire out your sons And hire out your daughters The man from abroad says he's already bought her And now you look like a lover but you're only a tourist Chorus: You're either talking or yawning You didn't listen to a thing you heard Don't start your morning moaning or you might wake up in Luxembourg You get over You're worried by her body She's worryin' about her bodily odour You pull off The pull over You say that you love her when you really loathe her Serves you right now she wants you to feed her and clothe her Chorus They're smiling sweetly while they're looking daggers Kick you where it really matters Send all your friends to Coventry And look for your name in last night's obituaries If you've got the Deutschmarks If you've got the Yen, then You get the shirt off her back and the clock off Big Ben Somebody's soft touch Struck all these bargains In the drinking clubs with the council men making Plans to put lead back in their pencils again Chorus
7. Watch Your Step2:57

   Letra

   Don't say a word Don't say anything Don't say a word I'm not even listening I read in the paper about their escape They're just two bit of kids from a bunch of sour grapes You better watch your step Watch who's knocking on your front door Now you know that they're watching What are you waiting for? Think you're young and original Get out before... They get to watch your step Ev'ry day is full of fun And family spies They're making heroes out of fall guys They say it's good for business From Singapore to Widnes You better watch your step Broken noses hung up on the wall Back slapping drinkers cheer the heavy weight brawl So punch drunk they don't understand at all You better watch your step Ev'ry night Go out full of carnal(carnival) desires End up in the closing time choirs When you're kicking in the car chrome And you're drinking down the Eau de Cologne And you're spitting out the Kodachrome You better watch your step Bye I send you all my regards You're so tough You're so hard Listen to the hammers falling in the breaker's yard You better watch your step You better watch your step Ooh, watch your step
8. New Lace Sleeves3:45

   Letra

   Bad lovers face to face in the morning Shy apologies and polite regrets Slow dances that left no warning of Outraged glances and indiscreet yawning Good manners and bad breath get you nowhere Even presidents have newspaper lovers Ministers go crawling under covers She's no angel He's no saint They're all covered up with whitewash and greasepaint And you say The teacher never told you anything but white lies But you never see the lies That you believe Oh, you know you have been captured You feel so civilized And you look so pretty in your new lace sleeves The salty lips of the socialite sisters With their continental fingers that have never seen working blisters Oh, I know they've got their problems I wish I was one of them They say daddy's coming home soon With his sergeant stripes and his Empire mug and spoon No more fast buck And when are they gonna learn their lesson When are they gonna stop all of these victory processions And you say The teacher never told you anything but white lies But you never see the lies That you believe Oh, you know you have been captured You feel so civilized And you look so pretty in your new lace sleeves
9. From A Whisper To A Scream2:54

   Letra

   Oh it's not easy to resist temptation Walking around looking like a figment of somebody else's imagination Taking ev'ry word she says just like an open invitation But the power of persuasion is no match for anticipation Chorus: Like a finger running down a seam From a whisper to a scream So I whisper and I scream But don't get me wrong Please don't leave me waitin' too long Waitin' too long Waitin' too long Waitin' too long Hey Oh oh oh oh oh Oh if the customers like it then they'll keep on paying If they keep on drinking then they'll end up staying I heard someone say where have we met before But the one over the eight seem less like one or more like four Chorus
10. Different Finger1:58

    Letra

    Please put your rings on a diff'rent finger if you meet me tonight 'Cause I can't stand those suspicious glances 'Cause I know the things they're saying are right They're saying why don't you straighten up And see what you've got to lose Put it all down to fate but you still got the chance to choose I don't want to hear your whole life story Or about my strange resemblance to some old flame All I want is one night of glory I don't even know your second name Please put your rings on a diff'rent finger 'cause we've got so much at stake I can't stand those suspicious glances 'Cause they seem to cover ev'ry move I make But if I can be alone with you completely tonight Put your rings on a diff'rent finger Before I turn out the light
11. White Knuckles3:47

    Letra

    White knuckles came down to put the frighteners on I believe she's the one that he's got his heart set on It doesn't matter if your face doesn't fit There's no charge for changing it Oooh ooh What are you doing You see right through him You don't have to take it when he gets cruel Chorus: White knuckles on black and blue skin (1,4) You don't have to take it so you just give in (2,3) He didn't mean to hit her but she kept laughing White knuckles sweatin' on the headboard He never found out what the kisser was for Losing face with the boys while she's whispering in his ear They never found out why they called it laughing gear Maybe they weren't loved when they were young Maybe they should be hung by their tongues Oooh ooh Under the blankets with the body jerk He needs her like the axe needs the turkey Making a mockery of his fancy footwork Chorus There's always someone new to toy with when the penny drops in the slot Now it's all petty crime on the news at nine But it's all she's got Love on the never never dreams don't come cheap I don't close my eyes when I go to sleep Oooh ooh It gets right under your skin It makes you as miserable as sin but you don't have to take it so you just give in Chorus Why don't you come round anymore Mama said He's using you Sister said I told you so too When he goes through your head You took him to be true
12. Shot With His Own Gun3:30

    Letra

    How does it feel now you've been undressed By a man with a mind like the gutter press So disappointed to find it's no big sin Lying skin to skin Chorus: Shot with his own gun Now dad is keeping mum Shot with his own gun Now somebody has to pay for the one who got away What's on his mind now is anyone's guess Losing his touch with each caress Spending ev'ry evening looking so appealing He comes without warning Leaves without feeling Chorus On your marks, man, ready, set Let's get loaded and forget The little corporal got in the way And he got hit by an emotional ricochet It's a bit more now than dressing up dolly Playing house seems so melancholy Chorus Oh it's too sad to be true Your blue murder's killing you
13. Fish 'N' Chip Paper2:55

1. Black Sails In The Sunset2:56

   Letra

   Vain boys are gonna have to swallow their pride this time So let the punishment fit the crime It's under the table Under your skin Into the cable Is this the death of the glory you're in? Chorus: Black sails in the sunset White noise going yakety-yak All the money in the world will never bring your body back Is it some mysterious dance nobody can do? Thought I knew all the steps quite clearly I don't have a clue Oooh You're Cinderella with a ball and chain And the shoe seems to fit you You tell the truth sometimes but You wouldn't know it if it hit you Is this some new trick Wired up in your head? Do you make me sick Or was I just force fed? Chorus
2. Big Sister2:11

   Letra

   Sheep to the slaughter Oh, this must be love All your sons and daughters in a strangle, all with a kid glove Eyes like saucers; oh, you think she's a dish She is the blue chip that belongs to the big fish Big sister will be watching over you Sister see, sister do She's got to save me She's got you playing Russian Roulette Sport of kings, the old queen's heart The prince of darkness stole some tart It's in the papers, it's in the charts It's in the stop press before it all starts With a hammer and a slap 'n' tickle in inquisitive garments With all the style and [?] purchase of armaments Compassion went out of fashion, that's all your concernment Sweat it out for thirty seconds on all the prudeness Big sister will be watching over you Sister see, sister do She's got to save me She's got you playing Russian Roulette She's got to save me She's got you playing Russian Roulette
3. Twenty-Five To Twelve3:52

   Letra

   You say you don't desire me You only tire me Now you'll hire me Expensive care is meaningless Feeling nothing and caring less Cut off at the pass She knows where you're headed She wants double time Or a temporary wedding Chorus: And the lucky girl leads a life of leisure With 45 years for seconds of pleasure The hands on the clock move so precisely And I only kiss but once or twice I can't help you now, I can't help myself 'Cause the time's running out And it's twenty-five to twelve Crowds surround loudspeakers On the lampposts Listening to the murder mystery Meanwhile someone's in the classroom Busy forging books on history Wouldn't give that man my hand He'd steal my fingers So the sleuth ends up in stitches And your urges turn to itches Chorus I was committed to life And then commuted to the outskirts I was living with thirty minutes at a time With a break in the middle for adverts See the human furniture But its only for show Now you can look all that you like But they only let you touch and go Chorus
4. Sad About Girls2:48

   Letra

   To all the girls that awake to escape in the morning You want to leave him without even a warning, a trace, or a calling card Sad about girls who know perfectly well why he's so sad about this girl He's so mad about this girl tonight So understanding--oh, she's so undemanding So in control, so on the whole--she's so good to you until it gets to you Sad about girls in your polythene world Where you unwrap and rewrap and know when she leaves That the next girl to suffer, putting you [posed?] Unwrap and love you before she can know you She's just got to show you the way that you're gonna be sad Sad about girls that awake to escape in the morning Get up and leave without even a warning But no where is sad as the girls in the night So ready to please you, so ready to bite Sad about girls who know perfectly well he's so sad about this girl You're so sad about your girl tonight Sad about girls tonight So sad about girls tonight

12. Hoover Factory

    Letra

    Five miles out of London on the Western Avenue Must have been a wonder when it was brand new Talkin' 'bout the splendour of the Hoover factory I know that you'd agree if you had seen it too It's not a matter of life or death But what is, what is ? It doesn't matter if I take another breath Who cares ? Who cares ? Green for go, green for action From Park Royal to North Acton Past scrolls and inscriptions like those of the Egyptian age And one of these days the Hoover factory Is gonna be all the rage in those fashionable pages Five miles out of London on the Western Avenue Must have been a wonder when it was brand new Talkin' 'bout the splendour of the Hoover factory I know that you'd agree if you had seen it too It's not a matter of life or death But what is, what is ? It doesn't matter if I take another breath Who cares ? Who cares ?
13. Love For Sale3:02

    Letra

    When the only sound on the empty street Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet That belong to a lonesome cop I open shop When the moon so long has been gazing down On the wayward ways of a wayward town That a smile becomes a smirk I go to work Love for sale Appetizing young love for sale Love that's fresh and still unspoiled Love that's only slightly soiled Love for sale Who will buy? Who would like to sample my supply? Who's prepared to pay the price for a trip to paradise? Love for sale Let the poets pipe of love in their childish ways I know every kind of love better far than they If you want the thrill of love, I've been through the mill of love Old love, new love Every kind but true love For sale Appetizing young love for sale If you want to buy my wares Follow me and climb the stairs Love for sale Love for sale
14. Boy With A Problem2:31

    Letra

    I feel like a boy with a problem I can't believe what we've forgotten And I even slapped your face and made you cry It's the last thing I want to do Pull the curtains on me and you Pull the carpet from under love Pull out like young lovers do You swore you wouldn't shout If it's not your punch then its your pout Days in silence try my temper Nights spent drinking to remember How memories are always tender I crept out last night behind your back The little they know might be the pieces I lack Came home drunk Talking in circles The spirit is willing but I don't believe in miracles I've got a problem but let's go to bed I can roll over and I can play dead But here I am in the doghouse instead I feel like a boy with a problem I can't believe all you've forgotten Sleeping with forgiveness in your heart for me
15. Weeper's Dream1:05
16. Gloomy Sunday3:13

    Letra

    Sunday is gloomy, my hours are slumberless Dearest, the shadows I live with are numberless Little white flowers will never awaken you Not when the black coach of sorrow has taken you Angels have no thought of ever returning you Would they be angry if I thought of joining you? Gloomy Sunday Gloomy is Sunday, with shadows I spend it all My heart and I have decided to end it all Soon there'll be flowers and prayers that are sad, I know Let them not weep, let them know that I'm glad to go Death is no dream, for in death I am caressing you With the last breath of my heart I'll be blessing you Gloomy Sunday Dreaming, I was only dreaming I wake and I find you asleep in the deep of my heart, deep Darling, I hope that my dream never haunted you My heart is telling you how much I wanted you Gloomy Sunday
