[Intro]
Oi!

[Verse 1]
I fucked up
I'm not the first to do it
Must forgo now, your smile
Off the wall, beige
I'm fixtures and fittings now
Call me out, but call me

[Chorus]
'Cause there's something down here
And it's livin' under the floorboards (Ah)
It's grabbed me 'round the neck
With its long and slender claws
Ooh, don't leave me here, baby
Don't leave me completely
'Cause I might not get back to myself at all

[Post-Chorus]
Ah, oh, ah-ooh
Ah

[Verse 2]
St. Charles Square
This year's migration
Basement flat with window bars
Pauli's outside
Spare me the gloaters and the pain
I don't want it anymore

[Chorus]
'Cause there's something down here
And it's living under the floorboards
It's up and down the clock
Of the town hall back in time
Oh, I'll ride with you, baby
I'll ride with you forever
But we might not get back to ourselves at all, no

[Bridge]
Tesco disco
The room is shrinking fast around me
It grabbed me by the ankle and pulled me under
Loneliness, I've been here before
'Cause every generation has its gilded posers

[Outro]
Weird vibrations in the basement
I don't like this scene
Pauli's ghost come back to haunt me
Think I'm gonna

[Verse 1]
You're taking the fun out of everything
You're making me run when I don't want to think
You're taking the fun out of everything
I don't want to think at all

[Chorus]
There's no other way, there's no other way
All that you can do is watch them play

[Verse 2]
You're taking the fun out of everything
You're making it clear when I don't want to think
You're taking me up when I don't want to go up anymore
I'm just watching it all

[Chorus]
There's no other way, there's no other way
All that you can do is watch them play
There's no other way, there's no other way
All that you can do is watch them play

[Bridge]
I'll watch you play
I'll watch you play

[Chorus]
There's no other way, there's no other way
All that you can do is watch them play
There's no other way, there's no other way
All that you can do is watch them play
There's no other way, there's no other way
All that you can do is watch them play
There's no other way, there's no other way
All that you can do is watch them play

[Verse 1]
A fervid image of another world
Is nothing in particular now
And imitation comes naturally
But I never really stopped to think how
And everyone is a clever clone
A chrome-covered clone am I
So in the absence of a way of life
Just repeat this again and again and again

[Chorus]
Hey, hey, come out tonight
Hey, hey, come out tonight
Popscene!
Alright

[Verse 2]
I'm leaving town to run away
Run into your twisted arms
No queues and there's no panic there
Just dangle your feet in the grass
My lack of natural lustre now
Seems to be losing me friends
So in the absence of a way of life
I'll repeat this again and again and again

[Chorus]
Hey, hey, come out tonight
Hey, hey, come out tonight
Popscene!

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
Hey, hey, come out tonight
Hey, hey, come out tonight
Popscene!
Alright
Hey, hey, come out tonight
Hey, hey, come out tonight
Popscene!

[Verse 1]
(Tracy Jacks) Works in civil service
(Tracy Jacks) It's steady employment
(Tracy Jacks) Is a golfing fanatic
(Tracy Jacks) But his putt is erratic
(Tracy Jacks) Saw a Harley Street doctor
(Tracy Jacks) Who prescribed healthy living
(Tracy Jacks) But he's getting past forty
(Tracy Jacks) And all the seams are splitting

[Chorus]
Every day he got closer
He knew in his heart he was over
"I'd love to stay here and be normal
But it's just so overrated"

[Verse 2]
(Tracy Jacks) Left home without warning
(Tracy Jacks) At five in the morning
(Tracy Jacks) Got on the first train to Walton
(Tracy Jacks) And stood on the seafront laughing
(Tracy Jacks) Threw his clothes in the water
(Tracy Jacks) And ran around naked
(Tracy Jacks) Got stopped by the police
(Tracy Jacks) And escorted back home

[Chorus]
Well, every day he got closer
He knew in his heart he was over
"I'd love to stay here and be normal
But that is just so overrated"

[Refrain]
(Tracy Jacks) Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
(Tracy Jacks) Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
(Tracy Jacks) Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
(Tracy Jacks) Woo-ooh, woo-ooh

[Bridge]
And then it happened on a Tuesday morning
Tracy Jacks bulldozed down the house he lived in
Saying it's just so overrated

[Refrain]
(Tracy Jacks) Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
(Tracy Jacks) Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
(Tracy Jacks) Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
(Tracy Jacks) Woo-ooh, woo-ooh

[Chorus]
Every day he got closer
He knew in his heart he was over
"I'd love to stay here and be normal
But it was always overrated"

[Outro]
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
And when she lets me slip away
She turns me on and all my violence 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

[Verse 2]
Beetlebum
Because you're young
She's a gun
Now what you done, beetlebum
She'll suck your thumb
She'll make you cum
'Cause she's your gun
Now what you done, beetlebum

[Chorus]
And when she lets me slip away
She turns me on and all my violence gone
Nothing is wrong
I just slip away and I am gone
There's nothing wrong
She turns me on
I just slip away and I am gone

[Outro]
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it

[Verse 1]
I got no style
I take my time
All those losers on the piss again
I doze, doze away
That's just the way it is
That's just the way it is

[Chorus]
I've got trimm trabb
Like the flash boys have
And I can't go back
Let it flow, let it flow
I sleep alone
I sleep alone

[Verse 2]
That's just the way it is
Just the way it is
Just the way it is
Just the way it is
Just the way it is
That's just the way it is

[Chorus]
I've got trimm trabb
Like the flash boys have
And I can't go back
Let it flow, let it flow
I'll sleep alone
I'll sleep alone
I'll sleep alone
I'll sleep alone

[Bridge]
I've got no style
I'll take my time
All those losers on the piss again
I doze, doze away
That's just the way it is
That's just the way it is

[Chorus]
I've got trimm trabb
Like the flash boys have
And I can't go back
Let it flow, let it flow
I'll sleep alone
I'll sleep alone
I'll sleep alone
I'll sleep alone

[Verse 1]
Practice doesn't make perfect when you're interbreeding
Speaking drivel, can it get confused with heavy breathing
Mixing drinks at water holes get snarled up in the suburbs
Meandering through this and that, you're suspected of vagueness

[Chorus]
When work is done, go to Villa Rosie every night
So tasty
Go form a queue at Villa Rosie every night
So tasty

[Verse 2]
Across the common every day, you come across the fine line
But wearing boots can prevent the leeches in the long grass
Eating between meals stifles the appetite, is it healthy
Coming home, that nagging doubt there in your belly

[Chorus]
And all the while at Villa Rosie every night
You're tasty
A sweeter life at Villa Rosie every night
So taste

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
All losers come to Villa Rosie every night
They're waiting
So form a queue at Villa Rosie every night
So tasty
Don't break your own back at Villa Rosie every night
We're tasting
A sweeter life at Villa Rosie every night
So tasty

[Verse 1]
The suburbs, they are dreaming, they're a twinkle in her eye
She’s been feeling frisky since her husband said goodbye
She wears a low cut T-shirt, runs a little B&B
She's most accommodating when she's in her lingerie

[Pre-Chorus]
Wife-swapping is your future
You know that it would suit ya

[Chorus]
Yes, they’re stereotypes, there must be more to life
All your life you're dreaming and then you stop dreaming
From time to time, you know
You should be going on another bender

[Verse 2]
The suburbs, they are sleeping, but he's dressing up tonight
She likes a man in uniform, he likes to wear it tight
They're on the lovers' sofa, they're on the patio
And when the fun is over, watch themselves on video

[Pre-Chorus]
The neighbours may be staring
But they are just past caring

[Chorus]
Yes, they're stereotypes, there must be more to life
All your life you're dreaming and then you stop dreaming
From time to time, you know
You’re going on another bender
Yes, there must be more to life than stereotypes

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
Wife-swapping is your future
You know that it would suit ya

[Chorus]
Yes, they’re stereotypes, there must be more to life
All your life you're dreaming and then you stop dreaming
From time to time, you know
You should be going on another bender
Yes, there must be more to life than stereotypes
All your life you’re dreaming and then you stop dreaming
From time to time, you know
You should go on another bender
Before you come to offend her

[Verse 1]
Where's the love song to set us free
Too many people down
Everything turning the wrong way 'round
And I don't know what love would be
But if we stop dreaming now
Lord knows we'd never clear the clouds

[Chorus]
And you've been so busy lately
That you haven't found the time
To open up your mind
And watch the world spinning
Gently out of time

[Verse 2]
Feel the sunshine on your face
It's in a computer now
Gone to the future way out in space

[Chorus]
And you've been so busy lately
That you haven't found the time
To open up your mind
And watch the world spinning
Gently out of time

[Instrumental bridge]

[Chorus]
And you've been so busy lately
That you haven't found the time
To open up your mind
And watch the world spinning
Gently out of time
Tell me I'm not dreaming
But are we out of time

[Outro]
We're out of time
Out of time
Out of time
Out of time
Out of time
