Beetlebum
Beetlebum,
What you done,
She’s a gun,
Now what you done,
Beetlebum,
Get nothing done,
You beetlebum,
Just get numb,
Now what you done,
Beetlebum,

And when she lets me slips away,
She turns me on and all my violence is gone,
Nothing is wrong,
I just slip away and I am gone,
Nothing is wrong,
She turns me on,
I just slip away and I am gone,

Beetlebum,
Because you’re young,
She’s a gun,
Now what you done,
Beetlebum,
She’ll suck your thumb,
She’ll make you cum,
Coz, she’s your gun,
Now what you’ve done,
Beetlebum,

He’s on, he’s on, he’s on it.

Song 2
I got my head checked,
By a jumbo jet,
It wasn’t easy but nothing is,
No,

When I feel heavy metal,
And I’m pins and I’m needles,
Well, I lie and I’m easy,
All the time but I’m never sure why I need you,
Pleased to meet you,

I got my head done,
When I was young,
It’s not my problem,
It’s not my problem,

When I feel heavy metal,
And I’m pins and I’m needles,
Well I lie and I’m easy,
All the time but I’m never sure why I need you,
Pleased to meet you,

Yeah, Yeah,
Yeah, Yeah,
Yeah, Yeah, 
Oh Yeah.

Country Sad Ballad Man
Yeah I found no where,
It got to know me,
Let me sleep all day,
Spent the money,
I haven’t felt my legs,
Since the summer,
And I don’t call my friends,
Forgot their numbers,

VIP 223,
Had my chances,
Or did they have me,
Now stay up nights,
Watch T.V.

I’m country sad,
I’m a ballad man,

I’m on the come back road,
Yeah I’m on a blizzard,
And in my motor home,
Sweat on my pillow,

I’m a ballad man…

M.O.R.
It’s automatic,
I need to unload,
Under the pressure,
Go middle of the road,
Fall into fashion,
Fall out again,
We stick together,
Coz it never ends,

1st Chorus
Here comes a low,
I’m a boy and you’re a girl,
Here comes a high,
The only ones in the world,
You and me can work it out,
Here it comes,
You Me, we’ll work it out!

Here comes tomorrow,
123 episodes,
We stick together,
Go middle of the road,
Cause that’s entertainment,
It’s the sound of the wheel,
It rolls on forever,
You know how it feels,

2nd Chorus
Here comes a low,
I’m a boy and you’re a girl,
Here comes a high,
The only ones in the world,
Here comes everything,
We’re like monkeys out in space,
Here it comes,

Repeat 1st Chorus

It’s automatic,
I need to unload,
Under the pressure,
Gone middle of the road.

On Your Own
Holy man tiptoed his way across the Ganges,
The sound of magic music in his ears,
Videod by a bus load of tourists,
Shiny shellsuits on and drinking lemonade,
Now I got a funny feeling which I bought mail order,
From a man in a tepee in California,
Said he once was that great game show performer,
Then he blew all his money away,
Blew it all away,

So take me home,
Don’t leave me alone,
I’m not that good,
But I’m not that bad,
No psycho killer,
Hooligan gorilla,
I dream to riot,
Oh you should try it,
My joy of life is on the roll,
And we’ll all be the same in the end,

Then you’re on your own *2

Well we all go happy day glow in the discos,
The sound of magic music in our brains,
Someone stumbles to the bathroom with the horrors,
Says lord give me time for I’ve jumped into space,
I’m in outer space,

So take me home,
Don’t leave me alone,
I’m not that good,
But I’m not that bad,
No psycho killer,
Hooligan gorilla,
I dream to riot,
Oh you should try it,
I’ll eat parole get gold card soul,
My joy of life is on the roll,
And we’ll all be the same in the end,

Then you’re on your own *2

If anyone knows what Damon actually says in Theme from Retro please let me know.

You’re so Great
Sad drunk and poorly,
Sleeping really late,
Sad drunk and poorly,
Not feeling to great,
Wandering lost in a town full of frowns,
Sad drunk and poorly,
Dogs digging up the ground,

And I fee the light in the night and in the day,
And I feel the light when the sky’s just mud and grey,
And I feel the night when you tell me it’s okay,
Coz’ you’re so great and I love you,

Tea, tea and coffee,
Helps to start the day,
Tea, tea and coffee,
Shaking all the way,
Cities alive, a surprise so am I,
Tea, tea and coffee, get no sleep today,

And I feel the light in the night and in the day,
And I feel the light when the sky’s just mud and grey,
And I feel the night when you tell me it’s okay,
Coz’ you’re so great and I love you.

Death of a Party
The death of a party,
Came as no surprise,
Why did we bother,
Should have stayed away,

Another night,
And I thought well well,
Go to another party,
And hang myself,
Gently on the shelf,

The death of the teenager,
Standing on his own,
Why did he bother,
Should have slept alone,

Another night,
And I thought well well,
Go to another party,
And hang myself,
Gently on the shelf.
(repeat)

Chinese Bombs
He makes an inner arm block,
Then kicks from behind,
The lights they go off,
But he can fight blind,
Coz’ he got the touch,
But he won’t live long,
Coz’ he comes from Hong Kong,
Where justice is done,

Chinese Bombs, millions jump,
Chairman’s junk, USA,
Won’t somebody, won’t somebody,
Sink the place,

Got a cab to go to Soho,
The dragon says go,
Let everyone know,
You got the touch,
You come from Hong Kong,
Where people are strong,
And you won’t live long,

Chinese Bombs, millions jump,
Chairman’s junk to Hong Kong,
Bruce Lee comes to save the day,
Bruce Lee comes the Chinese way.

I’m Just a Killer For Your Love
I heard a man who had no lungs,
He took me in and made me lunch,
He told me how I’d lost a friend,
He smiled at me it was the end,
I said

I’m just a killer for your love *4

I cut my hair off in the road,
I take my coat off and dropped my load,
I wipe my hands on the grass,
Coz’ I know that nothing never lasts,
And I said

I’m just a killer for your love *4

Look Inside America
Good morning lethargy,
Drink Pepsi it’s good for energy,
The bath’s on smoke in the bedroom,
Sore throat and on my neck a nasty bruise,
Where it came from, well I don’t know,
We played last night, it was a good show,

Got the play-out on a second rate chat show,
It’s a nationwide deal, so we gotta go,
Chuck from the company says it’ll be alright,
Got an ad on K-ROQ and there’s an instore tonight,
Well I build things up,
Then I let them go,
Got to get time-share on the radio,

Chorus
Look inside America, she’s alright, she’s alright,
Sitting out the distance but I’m not trying to make her mine,
Looking for America,
With it’s kookie nights and suicide,
Where the T.V. says it’s alright,
Coz’ everybody’s hung up on something or other,

Steppin’ off in 20 so the driver says,
I should sleep tonight but I think I’ll watch videos instead,
Annie Hall leaves New York in the end,
Press rewind Woody gets her back again,
And the whole world could have passed through me,
But I don’t know if it means that much to me,

Chorus
Look inside America, she’s alright, she’s alright,
Sitting out the distance but I’m not trying to make her mine,
Looking for America,
With its kookie nights and suicide,
Where the T.V. says it’s alright,
Coz’ everybody’s strung out on something or other,

And the whole world could have passed through me,
But I don’t know if it means that much to me.

Strange News from Another Star
All I want to be is washed out by the sea,
No death star over me,
Won’t give me any piece,
All I want is light relief,
Put the crazies on the street,
Give them guns and feed them meat,
Now shoot the death star down,
Dig a h0ole and put it down,
Thousand miles underground,

Chorus
They say it’s no game,
There’s strange news from another star,
I’m lost, I’m lost,
There’s strange news from another star,

Give me all your stuff,
Until I can’t get up,
Watch the whole world freeze,
Counting tin cans in our sleep,
Submarines are diving deep,

I don’t believe in me,
I don’t believe in me,
All I’ve ever done is tame,
Will you love me all the same,
Will you love me though,
It’s always the same.

Repeat Chorus

Movin’ On
At the music heist,
I met the gourmet man,
With aluminium lungs,
Sucks out all he can,

Sees the whole world go flip,
In a stunt bug style,
Coz’ he’s a parasite,
With a cellulite pile,
But he can smile,

This is the music,
And we’re movin’ on, we’re movin’ on *2

We’re sticky eyes and sticky bones,
You get no time on your own,
You get a dose and a ghost,
You get coast to coast,
Dye your hair black,
Get Satan tattooed on your back,
Pierce yourself with a coke can,
Rub yourself in fake tan Now you’re in the band,

Chorus
Coz’ this is the music,
And we’re movin’ on, we’re movin’ on,
Hey this is the music,
And we’re movin’ on, we’re movin’ on,
No matter how low, There’s always further to go,
We’re movin’ on, we’re movin’ on,
No matter how low there’s always further to go,
We’re movin’ on, we’re movin’ on.

Repeat Chorus

Essex Dogs
I remember thinkin’ murder in the car,
Watching dogs somersault through sprinklers on tiny lawns,
I remember the graffiti, we are your children coming in with spray cans and paint,
I remember the sunset and the plains of cement,
And the way the night seems to turn the colour of orangeade,

In this town cellular phones are hot with Teens,
In this town we all go to terminal pubs,
It helps us sweat out those angry bits of life,
From this town the English Army grind their teeth into glass,
You’ll get a kick tonight,
Smell of puke and piss,
Smell of puke and piss on your stilettos,

Here comes that panic attack,
My heart stops, then it starts,
Give me a drink,
I’ll drink your round,
I’ll take you round the pole,
It’s cold up here,
You’ll catch the flu or you’ll catch the city,
Either way you’ll catch the flu,
Or you’ll catch the city.
