Holidays In The Sun (Back to top)

A cheap holiday in other people's misery

I don't wanna holiday in the sun
I wanna go to the new Belsen
I wanna see some history
'cause now t got a reasonable economy

Oh now I got a reason...
and l'm still waiting
Now I got a reason
to be waiting
the Berlin wall

In sensurround sound in a two inch wall
well I was waiting for the communist call
I didn't ask for sunshine
and I got world war three
I'm looking over the wall
and they're looking at me

Oh now l got a reason...
and I'm still waiting
Now I got a reason
to be waiting
the Berlin wall

They're staring all night
and fhey're staring all day.
l had no reason to be here at all.
But now I got a reason if's no real reason
And I'm waiting at Berlin wall
I gotta go over fhe Berlin wall.
I don't understand it... (etc.)

Claostrophobia there's too much paranoia
there's too many closets
I went in before
And now I got a reason
it's no real reason to be waiting
the Berlin wall

I gotta go over the wall,
I don't understand this bit at all... (etc.)

Please don't be waiting for me.

Bodies (Back to top)

She was a girl from Birmingham
she just had an abortion
she was a case of insanity
her name was Pauline she lived in a tree

She was a no-one who killed her baby
she sent her letters from the country
she was an animal
she was a bloody disgrace

Body I'm not an animal
Mummy I'm not an abortion

Dragged on a table in a factory
illegitimate place to be
in a packet in a lavatory
die little baby screaming

Body screaming fucking bloody mess
it's not an animal it's an abortion

Body I'm not an animal
Body I'm not an abortion

Throbbing squirm, gurgling bloody mess
I'm not a discharge I'm not a loss in
protein I'm not a throbbing squirm Ah!

Fuck fhis and fuck that
fuck it all and fuck the fucking brat
She don't wanna baby that looks like that
I don't wanna baby that looks like that.

Body I'm not an animal
Body i'm not an abortion

Mummy! Ugh!

No Feelings (Back to top)

I've seen you iin the mirror
when the story began

And I fell in love with you.
I love yer mortal sin
yer brains are locked away
but I love your company
I only ever leave you
when you got no money
I got no emotions for anybody else
You better understand
I'm in love with myself, myself
My beautiful self

A-no feelings
for anybody else

Hello and goodbye
and a run around Sue
you follow me around
like a pretty pot of glue
I kick you in the head
you got nothing to say
Get out of the way
'cos I gotta get away
you never realise
I take the piss out of you
you come up and see me
and I'll beat you black and blue okay
I'll send you away

I got no feelings
A-no feelings
for anybody else
(Except for myself
my beautiful self dear)

There ain't no moonlight f
after midnight
I see you stupid people
out looking for delight
well I'm so happy
I'm feeling so tine
I'm watching all the rubbish
you're wasting my time
I look around your house
and there's nothing to steal
I kick you in the brains
when you get down to kneel and pray
You pray to your God

A-no feelings
for anybody else

except for myself
your daddy's gone away
be back anotfher day
See his picture hanging on your wall

Liar! (Back to top)

God Save The Queen (Back to top)

God save the Queen
the fascist regime,
they made you a moron
a potential H-bomb.

God save the Queen
she ain't no human being.
There is no future
in England's dreaming

Don't be told what you want
Don't be told what you need.
There's no future
there's no future
there's no future for you

God save the Queen
we mean it man
we love our queen
God saves

God save the Queen
'cos tourists are money
and our figurehead
is not what she seems

Oh God save history
God save your mad parade
Oh Lord God have mercy
all crimes are paid.

When there's no future
how can there be sin
we're the flowers
in the dustbin
we're the poison
in your human machine
we're the future
you're future

God save the Queen
we mean it man
we love our queen
God saves

God save the Queen
we mean it man
there is no future
in England's dreaming

No future
no future for you
no future for me

Problems (Back to top)

Too many problems oh why am I here
I don't need to be me
'cos you're all too clear
well and I can see
there's something wrong with you
but what do you expect me to do?.

At least I gotta know what I wanna be
don't come to me if you need pity

Are you lonely you got no-one
you get your body in suspension

That's no problem
problems, problems
the problem is you
what you gonna do with your problem
(what you gonna do problem)

Eat your heart out on plastic tray
you don't do what you want
then you'll fade away
You won't find me working nine to five
it's too mush fun a-being alive

I'm using my feet for my human machine
you won't find me living for the screen

Are you lonely all needs catered
you got your brains dehydrated

In a death trip I ain't automatic
You won't find me just staying static
Don't you give me any orders
for people like me there is no order.

Set you thought you had it all worked out
Bet you thought you knew what I was about
Set you thought
you'd solved all your problems
but you are the problem

Oh what you gonna do with your problem I'll
leave it to you problem the problem is you.
You got a problem Oh what you gonna do
they know a doctor gonna fake you away
they take you away and throw away the key
they don't want you and they don't want me
you got a problem the problem is you
problems what you gonna do... (etc.)
problem... (etc.)

Seventeen (Back to top)

You're only twenty nine
gotta lot to learn,
but when your mummy dies
she will not return

We like noise it's our choice
if's what we wanna do,
we don't care about long hair
I don't wear flares

See my face not a trace
no reality,
I don't work I just speed
that's all I need

I'm a lazy sod...
that's what we say you're
I'm a lazy sod...
I'm so lazy
I can't even be bothered
Lazy Lazy

Anarchy In The UK (Back to top)

Right! now ha, ha

I am an anti-Christ

don't know what I want
but I know how to get it.
I wanna destroy the passer by
'cos I wanna be anarchy,
Ho dogs body

Anarchy for the UK
It's coming sometime and maybe
I give a wrong time stop a traffic line.
Your future dream is a shopping scheme
cause I wanna be anarchy,
It's in the city

How many ways to get what you want
I use the best I use the rest
I use the enemy.
I use anarchy
'cause I wanna be anarchy,

Its the only way to be

Is this the MPLA
or is this the UDA
or is this the IRA
I thought it was the UK
or just another country
another council tenancy.

I wanna be an anarchist

And l wanna be an anarchist
(I get pissed destroy)

Submission (Back to top)

I'm on a submarine mission for you baby
I feel the way you were going
I picked you up on my TV screen
I feel your undercurrent flowing
Submission going down down
dragging me down
Submission I can't tell ya what I've found

You've pot me pretty deep baby
I can't figure out your watery love.
I gotta solve your mystery.
You're sitfing if out in heaven above.

Submission going... (etc.)

For there's a mystery.
Under the sea... Under a water come

Submission going... (etc.)

Cos it's a secret
Under the water... Under the sea

Submission going... (etc.)

I wanna drown drown under the water
Going down down under the sea.
