• 96 TEARS:

Too many teardrops for one heart to be crying
too many teardrops for one heart to carry on
You're way on top now since you lfet me
You're always laughing way down at me
But watch out now I'm gonna get down
We'll be together in just a little while
And then I'm gonna put you way down here
And you'll start crying 96 tears
You'll cry, cry, cry, cry
And when the sun comes up I'll be on top
You'll be right down there looking up
I'm gonna get you but I know now
I'll just cry
Cry I'll just cry
Too many teardrops
You're gonna cry 96 tears

• AINT NOTHING TO IT:

Back up boy forty five feet
Always looking for a freebie
Why don't you let up sometime
Hawks out here with his axe n' me with this lead sheet on
Trying to scuffle up those two's n' fews
For uncle so's I can bail out my full orchestration
Looks like he got me but this cat wouldn't feed
Grass to a horse in a concrete pasture
He's so tight he wouldn't buy a pair of shorts for a flea
Just look at him n' dig that vine
All off tome his strollers look like he's ready to
Jump he's playing ketchup n' I got to tighten his wig
Hold it down n' I'll come up with line two like I said
Ain't nothin' to it, just here
Ain't nothin' to it, just here
Ain't nothin' ain't nothin' to it just here
I saw that dinner up the street guzzlin' foam in
The drinkden and the sharks are droppin' the shucks
Like the yellow kid trying to tighten her and
Weaving the four f's all around her
I nixed her out long ago, man, she's too sometimey
She will and she won't
She do and she don't always on the fence and
Sleeps with her glasses on
Man
Man
Ain't nothin' ain't nothin' to it just here
She's faust to me, so skip it and forget it
She's faust to me, so skip it and forget it

• ALWAYS THE SUN:

How many times have you woken up and prayed for the rain?how many times have you seen the papers apportion the blame?who gets to say, who gets the work and gets to play?i was always told at school, everybody should get the samehow many times have you been told, if you don't ask you don't get?how many liars have taken your money, your mother said you shouldn'tbet?who has the fun, is it always the man with the gun?someone must have told him, if you work too hard you can sweatThere's always the sunthere's always the sunalways, always, always the sunHow many times have the weathermen told you stories that made you laugh?y'know it's not unlike the politician and the leaders when they dothings by halfwho gets the job, of pushing the knobthat sort of responsibility you draw straws for, if you're mad enoughThere's always the sunthere's always the sunalways, always, always the sun

• BITCHING:

Bitching 'bout the things we've seen
Bitching 'bout the things we've been
Bitching 'bout the loves we've had
My oh my it wasn't so bad
When we had that to loosen our minds
Hey little baby in the front row be kind
Bar bitching: telling you the gospel truth
Bar bitching: why don't you all go get screwed?
Bar bitching: why don't you tell me something new?
Bar bitching: Bar bitching
Bitching 'bout the Windsor C
Bitching 'bout the Western Sea
Why can't you all be like a Grainger man?
Or even a Pheland man?
I'll tell you what we'll meet in Amsterdam
Then you'll see what should be really can
Bar bitching: telling you the gospel truth
Bar bitching: why don't you all go get screwed?
Bar bitching: why don't you tell me something new?
Bar bitching: Bar bitching That's what I'm talking about
Got anything to say
No
Well shut up
I really don't know what to say
It's gonna happen to us all one day
And when it does you could have me too
But until then I really don't know what to do
I'm just gonna keep
Bar bitching: telling you the gospel truth
Bar bitching: why don't you all go get screwed?
Bar bitching: why don't you tell me something new?
There's a place with a lot of eyes
Strange smoke perfume around the peacock guys
And the girls they move their heat
To the impulsive compulsive beat
But that's another place another time
Maybe we'll meet there in quite a short while
Bar bitching etc.

• BRING ON THE NUBILES:

I want to love you like your dad
find be your superman
I'll show you things you've never had
And hold your little hand
Bring on the Nubiles
Bring on the Nubiles
I go crazy for ya
Crazy for ya
Crazy for ya
Crazy for ya
I'll kiss your zone erogenous
There's plenty to explore
I've got to lick your little puss
And nail it to the floor
Bring on the Nubiles
Bring on the Nubiles
I go crazy for ya
Crazy for ya
Crazy for ya
Crazy for ya
Lemme lemme fuck ya fuck ya
Bring on the Nubiles
Bring on the Nubiles
Lemme lemme lick your lucky smiles
There's a lot of games that wet can play
Just turn my tap I'll drip
And when the fever reaches you
I'm high beneath my zip
Bring on the Nubiles
Bring on the Nubiles
I go crazy for ya
Crazy for ya
Crazy for ya
Crazy for ya

• DAGENHAM DAVE:

Dave was from out of town
Manchester's likely too
Had read De Sade to Marx
More read than me and you
Scaffolding pays good bread
It pays for drugs and kicks
Dave only had one love
Had no real need for chicks
Dave was so far ahead
But now he's dead
I'm not going to cry
I bet he hit that water high
I guess he lost control
And welcomed in the night
It was too much for him
What were his thoughts that night?
The River Thames is cold
It keeps on flowing on
But it left Dave alone
It just kept flowing on
There's city sickness here
But now he's dead
Late night a street in the west of the city
There was a place there where he lost himself
Strange feelings did he feel there
Strange people did he meet there
Angry sounds did he hear there
Like the howling of bulls
