Cruel Britannia (album)

Paint you a picture

Of how it can be

But I'm not sure we'd all agree

Such a strange mixture

Of uncertainty

I'm wondering now what it means to me

I can't let go

Of what I see

How you changed your history

The party's over

For you and me .........Goodbye

Cruel Britannia x3

The bed was so rosy

The talk was all cheap

Life was so cosy that first week

All fun and sushi

Dressed up so sweet

Catching a dose of reality

So lets pretend

To trip on Zen

On your bike

Once again

You can't deny

It's all a lie.........Goodbye

Cruel Britannia x3

Feeling so low

But I can't let go

Goodbye love

Goodbye happiness

The smell of the street

Is funkier now

Better watch out it may explode

The people you meet

Are feeling their power

Want to get back some life control

Can't cut loose

From what I know

Got no choice

Can't sink that low

I may get bruised

But what the hell........goodbye

Cruel Britannia.......

How Can I Win (Pauline Black & Nick Welsh)

Happiness isn't everything

It takes a cynic to know

Tell me this isn't happening

I've got a long way to go

A long way to go

To cause a disturbance

I'd drive through the snow -you know- oh you know

Talked to you on the telephone

You didn't hear what I said

Is it me or is it you

Maybe it's all in my head

All in my head

To cause a disturbance

I'd drive through the snow -you know- oh you know

How can I win

No, I'm not joking

How can I win

I'm just devoted

How can I win

You know I'm choking

How can I win

I'm just devoted

Got no axe to grind with you

I'm too tired to fight

Got to do what I want to do

I want to blow out the night

Blow out the night

To start a disturbance

I'd drive through the snow -you know- oh you know

How can I win

No, I'm not joking

How can I win

I'm just devoted

How can I win

You know I'm choking

How can I win

I'm just devoted

How can I win

How can I win

I'm just floating etc.

Never Said I Love You (Pauline Black & Nick Welsh)

Paradise is really hard to find

Satellites are working overtime

Free me, come on and free me

Believe me....don't let it go

Appetite is driving me insane

Socialize know how to play the game

Free me, come on and free me

Believe me.....don't let it go

I never said I loved you

And I never said I don't

I don't deny I sometimes lie

But I never said I won't

I never said I loved you

And I never said I don't

Sometimes I can lie

Parasites are crawling over me

Butterflies is all they want to be

Free me, come on and free me

Believe me....Don't let it go

I never said I loved you

And I never said I don't

I don't deny

I sometimes lie

But I never said I won't

And I never said I don't

Sometimes I can lie

Suicide can be so uninspired

You had the last laugh on me

Something's can never ever be denied

You're ruining my life

You're ruining my life

Paradise is really hard to find

Satellites keep working overtime

Free me, come on and free me

Believe me...Don't let it go

I never said I loved you

And I never said I don't

I don't deny I sometimes lie

But I never said I won't

I never said I loved you etc.

Bad dog

Don't get no biscuit

Sad dog

Don't get no more money x2

Every time I look into those brown eyes

I get a jolt

Don't criticise

Can't you see I'm on a really high wire

I have to stop

To my surprise

Oh oh nothing really matters now

Oh oh you're too slow

Oh oh don't make me mad again

Oh oh, cos you're not God

Bad Dog

Don't get no biscuit

Sad Dog

Don't get no money x2

Maybe I'm looking for a hole in the jar

I'm cracking up

Don't tell lies

But by and large I know it's espionage

I have to stop

To my surprise

Oh oh nothing really matters now

Oh oh you're too slow

Oh oh don't make me mad again

Oh oh cos' you're not God

Oh oh nothing really matters now

Oh oh, you're too slow

Oh oh, don't make me mad again

Oh , oh cos you're not God x2

Bad dog

Don't get no biscuit

Sad dog

Don't make no money x2

Bad Dog

Sad Dog

Bad Dog Sad Dog

Bad Dog

Blind Leading The Blind (Pauline Black & Nick Welsh)

The story's never been told

The secret almost went cold

Some words are better left unsaid

The fantasy had grown old

No more room in the fold

Don't quote me more lies you read

Looks kinda cloudy

Maybe I won't make it

I can see rain in the sky

Impossible questions can never be answered

No matter how hard you try

Foolishly talking

We keep on walking

The blind always leading the blind

Can't find no pot of gold

Somebody sold the rainbow

Then told us we are all free

Looked for the yellow-brick road

It was paved over in stones

Sharpened to cut up my feet

Looks kinda cloudy

Maybe I won't make it

I can see rain in the sky

Impossible questions can never be answered

No matter how hard you try

Foolishly talking

We keep on walking

The blind always leading the blind

Take the idea of Foucault

Watch the pendulum swing low

Measuring days passing by

Shifting it's weight as it goes

Pushing back all your hopes

Time after time after time

Looks kinda cloudy

Maybe I won't make it

I can see rain in the sky

Impossible questions can never be answered

No matter how hard you try

Foolishly talking, we keep on walking

The blind always leading the blind.
