Too Much Pressure

Too Much Pressure (album)

Three Minute Hero

They ask if you're all right

You say yes

But all the time you know

It's just a mess

It's 5:00p.m. and you're on your way home

Just another day

With that endless grey drone

Three minute hero, I wanna be

A three minute hero

Drag yourself along the road

Sit on the bus

Switch on your transistor

Start causing a fuss

It's eleven p.m. and you're on your way home

Just another night

With that endless grey drone

Three minute hero, I wanna be

A three minute hero

I wanna be, I wanna b, I wanna be

A three minute hero

It's too early in the morning

Stupid job

Don't wanna eat, can't think straight

The same as yestereday

It's seven a.m. and you're leaving home

Just another day

With that endless grey drone

Three minute hero, I wanna be

A three minute hero

Everyday

Everyday things are getting worse

Time so hard, dog and all a look work

Everyday things are getting worse

I took him down to the market place

And them laugh at my dog

You never see smoke without fire

I said

Oh,

You gotta hold your head up high

Everyday things are getting worse

Time so hard, why oh why oh lord

Time so hard, look upon Maud and Gerard

They Make Me Mad

They used those fancy words to confuse your mind

But since I never did no elocution rhymes

Made me think that everything they said was fine

So I nod and wink and smile

I said I understood

I went all the way

Giving up myself to their philosophy

Now that things have changed

I make my mind up for myself

I look back on all those words

There’s little meaning in their sound

They make me mad

Mindless confusion makes me mad

Look beyond people

Untie your hands

You’re living in a time of shifting sands

Fights are happening in other lands

Now I shake my head and frown

I’m getting off my knees

I’m gonna teach myself

A new philosophy

Have things really changed?

Do I make my mind up for myself?

I look back on all those words

There's little meaning in their sound

They make me mad

Mindless confusion

Makes me mad

Missing Words

Last night when I told you all that stuff about the way things are

You didn't understand a word, but you said you did

Now I'm not the honest Joe I might seem, I can't take your lies

It's late, I'm tired, your words just crackle along the wire

You got a problem baby, it's all over now

You thought you had it made,

It's over, It's over, It's over

It just don't make sense, the way you did the things you did

You might have thought that I was dumb, but I'm all wised up

Game's up, move on, why don't you get out my hair

I wonder if you ever did really care

Missing words, Missing words

It's just missing words, missing words etc.

Danger

I was only having some fun

When they come and take me away

They cause disstress and terrible pain

That was in the month of May

Oh, danger, when the red light's shining bright

Oh danger

There's gonna be a terrible fight

City streets and city lights

Don't impress me not at all

And little boys who like to fight

Don't grow up to be very tall

I've paid the price, I'm not a fool

I don't live inside your rules

I got to pass the time away

Trouble walking right behind

Street Feeling

My friend is cut with pain

He's got to get it all out tonight

Like a flame so bright

His feelings running high

No time to sigh

He knows it's just make or break

There's no time to fake it

He's got to get a spark to his imagination

Before it's too late

Before the blue chinned nasty boys

Claim him as a hero

Street feeling that feeling oh oh yeah

His daytime safety's finished, he's in the night

It's dark and cold, but he's been told

You need to be so tough, shut your mouth, grit your teeth

Believe your bluff get rough

Sitting round with his friends talking 'bout the record machine

Thinks he's too tough too clean

Needs to be mean

Street feeling that feeling oh oh yeah.......

My Collie

This is a government health warning

Smoking can seriously damage your brain

I love my collie, it makes me feel so high

It gives me deep meditation

Oh my sweet collie

I love it I love it I love it so

But I don't want it to go

I need it I need it I need it so

I'll never let it go

Too Much Pressure

Too Much pressure, too much pressure, too much pressure, too much pressure

Too much pressure, this pressure got to stop

Too much pressure, it's getting to my head

Too much pressure, they're giving me hard times

Too much pressure, my man made me sad

Too much pressure, him try to make me look small

Too much pressure, end up with no money

Too much pressure, my car fail its MOT

Too much pressure, I said my car fail its MOT

Too much pressure, too much pressure, too much pressure, too much pressure

Too Much pressure, Him fumble up a woman

Too much pressure, my life's so hard

Too much pressure, and all them certain kind of people

Too much pressure, them having it easy

Too much pressure, them sail through life

Too much pressure, them have no joy

It's too much pressure, it's too much pressure

This pressure got to stop

It's got to stop, it's got to stop....

Too much pressure, oh lord oh lord

Too much pressure, oh what me a go do

Too much pressure, it's too much pressure

Too much pressure, oh lord oh lord

Too much pressure, somebody help me

Too much pressure, it's too much pressure

This pressure got to stop............

Murder

Murder Ooh Murder

I said murder, ooh murder

I said murder

That's what they want you to do

Please don't kill her, please don't kill her

Please don't kill her

That' what they want you to do

If I had a pair of wings

I would fly away

I would fly with the morning bird

No one would know me at all

Murder, ooh.........

Out On The Streets

Out on the streets again

Looking for something

It just don't matter now I don't wanna care

I want to have some fun

Make a connection

I feel like a roller coaster

I don't wanna stop

Let's go somewhere, I don't know where lets go

Somewhere exciting

White lies and amber lighting

Try to seduce me

I don't wanna go there again

Don't wanna go, don't wanna go

But it's the only place to go oh oh

There's gonna be trouble I know oh oh

Don't wanna know don't wanna know oh oh

Carry Go Bring come

All this carry go bring come my dear

Bring misery

All this carry go bring come my dear

It bring misery

Going from home to home

Making disturbances

It's time you stop fooling yourself

You old Jezebel

The strong shall inherit the earth

You old Jezebel

It needs no light to see

That you're making disturbances

It's better to speak the truth

And use a wise tongue

It's better than bringing oppression

Upon an innocent man

But time will tell on you

You old Jezebel

How long shall the wicked reign over the people

I said how long shall the wicked reign over the people

La la la la la la la la la la la............

Black & Blue

She never really had the chances

That some of the kids she saw showed her

She was rarely asked to dances

Or just afternoon at the pictures in the back row

She thought she had all the answers

Decided to go her own way

Alone in her room on a Friday night

Saw her face in a broken mirror

So black and blue life knocks you about

Black and Blue

So black and blue

Life knocks you about

Black and blue

Feeling so angry

All the minutes tick by

Stuck in one room

Just living a lie

Just another person

To sit in that chair

Someone to talk to

Show that they care

So Black and Blue........

Speaking on the telephone

To her friends she thought she knew so well

But they don't want to know you

When you're down and angry, no gossip to tell

Empty words lying on the table

Same response, just run out of fags

Start rolling up the dog ends

Sit waiting for someone to come round
