Cash
Machine
Go to a cash machine
To get a ticket home
A message on the screen
Says don't make plans, you're
broke
No, no this can't be right
I know that time is tight
I've only just been paid
Three weeks five days, till
I'm seen
Right...
No...
I scratch a living, it ain't
easy
You know it's a drag
I'm always paying, never
making
But you can't look back
I'll wonder if I'll ever
get
To where I want to be
Better believe it
I'm working for the cash
machine
I try to phone a friend
My credit's in the red
I try to skip the fare
Ticket inspector's there
No no, this can't be right
I live an honest life
It seems like sometimes
You don't cross the line
You don't get
By...
No...
I scratch a living, it ain't
easy
You know it's a drag
I'm always paying, never
make it
But you can't look back
I wonder if I'll ever get
To where I want to be
Better believe it
Yeah...
What am I gonna do
My girlfriend's test turned
blue
We tried to play it safe
That night we could not
wait
No no, this can't be right
She said it would be alright
I can't afford to be a daddy
So I leave tonight...
No...
I scratch a living, it ain't
easy
You know it's a drag
I'm always paying, never
make it
But you can't look back
I wonder if I'll ever get
To where I want to be
Better believe it
I'm working for the cash
machine
Cash machine
Cash machine ...
There's a hole in my pocket,
my pocket, my pocket
There's a hole in my pocket,
my pocket, my pocket
There's a hole in my pocket,
my pocket, my pocket
There's a hole in my pocket
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Tied Up Too Tight
Oh where I come from
I just don't conform
Get me out of here!
Leave the boredom behind
Wanna see those bright lights
Get this thing in gear
Yeah...
So we'll ride in my car
Follow the star
Drive on into town
With the stereo loud
take the Great West Road
out
Nothing can bring me down
You put your boots on...
You put your boots on...
And all boys and girls sing
(Na na na na na na)
Straight out of West London
(Na na na na na na)
Just like a loaded gun
(Na na na na na na)
The cognoscenti don't like
us
Don't like us!
(Na na na na na na)
We'll hit the strip tonight
(Na na na na na na)
Your eyes are burning so
bright
(Na na na na na na)
Can't you feel the blood
rush, baby
Tied up too tight!
Wa-ah-ah-ah-ahah
Tell me can you feel it
Feel the city breathing
Feel its beating heart
No superstition
Just cold ambition
It's time to make a mark
Oh...
You get your boots on...
You get your boots on...
And all boys and girls sing
(Na na na na na na)
Straight out of West London
(Na na na na na na)
Just like a loaded gun
(Na na na na na na)
The cognoscenti don't like
us
Don't like us!
(Na na na na na na)
We'll hit the strip tonight
(Na na na na na na)
Your eyes are burning so
bright
(Na na na na na na)
Can't you feel the blood
rush, baby
Tied up too tight!
Tied up too tight...
Tied up too tight...
And all boys and girls sing
(Na na na na na na)
Straight out of West London
(Na na na na na na)
Just like a loaded gun
(Na na na na na na)
The cognoscenti don't like
us
Don't like us!
(Na na na na na na)
We'll hit the strip tonight
(Na na na na na na)
Your eyes are burning so
bright
(Na na na na na na)
Can't you feel the blood
rush, baby
Tied up too tight!
Tied up too tight...
Tied up too tight...
hard To Beat
I've seen you darling, seen
you hanging round town
You in a short skirt, shining
eyes of deep brown
You had a dirty look, you
caught me on your hook
Turn up the thermostat,
I want to see you sweat
Oh yeah, girl, you've got
something I like..
I walked right over, said
hi, how ya doin'?
You smiled at me and girl
you tore right through me
I said come on let's dance,
we've got to take our chance
You whispered in my ear,
you wanna get out of here
Can you feel it? Rocking
the city
Ah yeah, straight out of
nowhere-ness
Like a fist, can't resist
you, oh no
I tell you something
You know I love ya, just
wanna touch ya
Stand up, knock me right
off my feet
Hard to beat (x3)
Let's spend the night, spend
the night together
Heart beating so fast, as
you take my shirt off
This girl I saw round town,
well now she's going down
Stuck on a losing streak,
I think you've turned it round
Oh yeah, girl, you've got
something I like...
Read all about it, have
you heard the latest?
Boy in a band dates a hollywood
actress
But baby, you and me, we
came up from the street
No time to hesitate, we've
got to push our weight
Can you feel it? Rocking
the city
Ah yeah, straight out of
nowhereness
Like a fist, can't resist
you, oh no
I tell you something
You know I love ya, just
wanna touch ya
Stand up, knock me right
off my feet
Hard to beat (x3)
Goodness
No, I've never known a night
like this
Can't believe it, you're
so hard to beat
Hard to beat
Drive me crazy, my beautiful
baby
Let's spend the whole day
right here together
You know I love ya, just
wanna touch ya
Stand up, knock me right
off my feet
Hard to beat (x3)
Oh yeah, girl, you've got
something I like...
Oh yeah, girl, you've got
something I like...

I Shall Overcome Lyrics
New day dawning, I wonder
what it holds for me,
Sun is shining, I Don't
think that it will shine on me
I look around, nothing seems
to have changed,
This dirty town, it hasn't
some how rearranged
And I stand up, but I get
knocked straight back down,
"Just give it up" they say,
"We just don't want you around
Not one of us, and we don't
like to share."
Mouthful of dust, but I'll
get even I swear...
I hear your voice, call my
name, but in my heart, It's still pouring rain,
And it ain't pretty, no
it ain't pretty...
But you say "Hold on, hold
on... believe me,
All the plans against you
one by one, will come undone."
I shall overcome.
Through my tears, I try to
see your face,
But doubt and fear come
calling, and crowd my head with words of hate,
I scream out please! Don't
leave me hear alone,
Down on my knees, without
you and without hope...
I hear your voice, call my
name, but in my heart, It's still pouring rain,
And it ain't pretty, no
it ain't pretty...
But you say "Hold on, hold
on... believe me,
Love is here and I won't
let you down, stand your ground.
Hold on, hold on... It's
easy,
All the plans against you
one by one, will come undone."
I know I shall overcome.
Just in time you call my
name, pull myself up, to fight again.
I'll never let you down...
"Hold on, hold on... believe
me,
Love is here and I won't
let you down, stand your ground.
Hold on, hold on... It's
easy,
All the plans against you
one by one, will come undone."
I know I shall overcome.
Middle Eastern Holiday
I've got to go, but what
a prize to give
Package deal to the sun,
everything is inclusive
where bullet holes scar
the minarets
smoke on the horizon a beautiful
sunset
Going on my Middle Eastern
holiday
Give me a gun, I hope I
see my mum again
Going on my middle eastern
holiday
Been gone so long, I hope
I'm coming home some day
We can fight, we can fight
I'm 21, meanwhile back at
home
My friends are out tonight
all drinking and dancing
I've got a girl, is she
missing me?
Watching out for me on the
news on TV
CHORUS
Back at home, politicians
sit
Over lunch discussing this
In the desert the fuse is
lit, I'm the one who has to deal with it
He's got a gun, bullets
meant for me
Time seems to stand still
I'm so scared I can't speak
I'm flying home, above everything
I don't understand why is
it my mothers crying?
Going on my Middle Eastern
holiday
Give me a gun, I hope I
see my mum again
Going on my Middle Eastern
holiday
Top up the tan, fight for
the man going far away
Far away...
Gotta Reason
Hung around here long enough
I've seen the smooth, but
only caught the rough
I've got no reason
Ooh no, I got no reason.
Disco on the radio
I ain't got no place to
go
I got no reason
Ooh no I got no reason
But wait,
See the new girl in town
Maybe I can show you round
Baby let's generate some
heat
Gotta reason
Ooh now I've gotta reason
Hey hey baby you knock me
out
Make me want to scream and
shout
I've gotta reason
Now, I've gotta reason
You can make it all worth
while
I like your face girl, I
like your style
You've gotta reason
Oh now I gotta reason
Yeah you look so good
I want to eat you up like
food
Oh,baby lets generate some
heat
I've gotta reason
Ooh now I've gotta reason.
(Alright, let's go, woooah,
check it out, check it out yeah)
Gotta get my head just right
Gotta make my move tonight
I've gotta reason
Now I've gotta reason
Ooh, I've gotta reason
Ooh now I've gotta reason
Ooh now I've gotta
Gotta reason, gotta (x8)
Unnecessary Trouble
You take it easy
You have your reasons
Sometimes it eats you inside
It feels like treason
You give it right back
Then they just can't take
it
You mind your business
Whats yours, they have to
wreck it
The hypocrits don't, don't
like the bed they lay in
Come out fighting, you know
you're always going to win
There's just no point in
cause unnecessary trouble
Just make sure you cause
trouble when it's necessary
There's just no point in
cause unnecessary trouble
Just make sure you cause
trouble when it's necessary
You make excuses
For their ruthlessness
You can't imagine yourself
being so careless
There is no reason why they
want to hurt you
Maybe it's envy they know
they just can't touch you
The hypocrits don't, don't
like the bed they lay in
So come out fighting, you
know you're always going to win
There's just no point in
cause unnecessary trouble
Just make sure you cause
trouble when it's necessary
There's just no point in
cause unnecessary trouble
Just make sure you cause
trouble when it's necessary
There's just no point in
cause unnecessary trouble
Just make sure you cause
trouble when it's necessary
There's just no point in
cause unnecessary trouble
Just make sure you cause
trouble when it's necessary
It's necessary |
