 Dear Sir |
1. Mat's Prozac No Belle, no ball ; the violet is ultra-small and still shrinking But back at Dr. Mat's flat, they say they need a new white rat And I'm thinking about it And I don't need to feel wonderful, just ok But can you take a wallflower and turn her into... A nuclear power-plant ? 'cause they can't Imagining a new me, 3D, Super 8, (can't wait), Full-colour stereo dayglo Could your cosmetic pharmacology rescue my neurology, maybe ? And I don't need to feel wonderful, just ok Remember to remind me To bring my disguise... Some of my friends won't recognise me... Recognise me ! Don't give me away. All I need's a panacea But what I need just isn't here |
2. Star Don't think I want to be a star (It might look glamourous from where you are) Outside a limousine The curtains twitch, my neighbour's seen I drive away in someone else's dream I can't shine Like the beautiful people Who live in my mind do No I can't shine Don't think I want to be a star Don't think I want to be a star Don't think I want to be a star It might look pretty good From where you are But in my swimming pool I know I'd sink on drugs and drinks And not before I'd written off the car No I don't think I want to be a star She is lost who hesitates It may already be too late What's the time...? |

3. Dear Sir Dear Sir, I want to catch the evening post Hope you don't find this in bad taste or a waste of your precious time But I have watched you for a while, and what I see just suits me fine Frankly I say, may I hope ? May I join you on a rollercoaster ride ? (I'm yours, sincerely, I am) Maybe we can make the most of the summer-enchantment evening Dear Sir, I find the telephone so cold I'm much too shy to dial the dial ; you know it's simply not my style They're all saying it with flowers, Tie mimosa to your gate, while I await your reply Join me on a rollercoaster ride Join me on a two-way trip to the sky |
4. Bang Bang It's so exciting how come you say Everything's humdrum ? We've got the zeitgeist And the fabulous four Knocking at the door We'll entertain them In our seedy bohemian love-nest And if you wanted to You could get into it But you feign disinterest Why take your life so, so seriously It's something I've never done Just give me the gun 'Cause Honey you're no fun Look at the joy you've killed There it goes bang bang - it's dead Instead of life on the run Life should be wonderful Just give me the gun Surrender is so much more mellow than yellow I don't see your white flag And you're becoming a drag of a fellow Accolades for acting your age Are something you've never won Just give me the gun |
5. The Milkman Hey isn't this fun Isn't it Isn't it Hunky Dory Couldn't ask for morey Well isn't this, isn't this, isn't this fun I say hey Hey isn't this neat But we've got to be discreet 'Cause something this supercalifragilistic Can get sado-masochistic so quickly So if you want to know me Well you'd just better take things slowly I said hey yeah yeah yeah Well I've been rearranged You might think that I've changed I used to be a little kitty purring sicking up a bowl of fur In luxury's lap with an eye on the cat-flap (Uuuurgh!) But... then the milk turned sour (You're the milkman of human kindness) But if you want to know me Well you'd just better take things slowly I can choose a wedding ring I can choose where to buy the ring White lace and red roses We got the picture Have a whole bunch of rosy-cheeked children Are You sure ? Really sure ? No thanks If you want to know me Well you'd just better take things slowly |

6. Blue Sonic Boy He's like an ice cream man with no bell in his van Though he'd like to he can't even serve you If you're deserving of his fine wares. He's terribly ambitious and he's occasionally vicious And if wishes were little fishes He'd be every fisherman's friend I found him ; Looking in a mirror, Then looking in my shoes, Looking in my pocket for a razor ; He's my blue sonic boy I believed in his watery lies And his half-arsed scheme to rule the world But you know it isn't easy hanging out with the timelords When you're a Dalek and can't even climb up the stairs So when you wake tomorrow, stick a bell in your van Be a "99" man, it will help you in your endeavours To greatly succeed. We were having such a lovely holiday Until we blew our minds away. |

8. Miss World She's an ordinary girl Her family moved to Liverpool, she hates the school Burns the books and works in the supermarket 'Cause her class-mates teased when she said she'd be famous You don't need CSE's when you're going to be Miss World - And if they mispronounce your name Miss World - You'll just be happy that you came, Miss World Well the man on the phone said "Glamour work's a stepping stone towards the throne." And he was right 'cause she's televised tonight Her new career begins and ends in tears As last year's quits and the crown just fits... And hey you've made the grade Don't be afraid of this world It's a hollow victory You've been doing things for charity But not for free... Cutting ribbons, open a supermarket You see how dark it is when the sash and the flashbulbs fade When they stop the cheques and you're only an ex-Miss World |
9. Trumpet Song Too much time, too many mirrors here to inspire us Fat pigs fishing for pearls, too many admirers You know those yes-men adore you But they can't do everything for you So blow your own trumpet What a flick of the wrist in one so young And you get everything that you need With a twist of your tongue "Together, together Together we could inherit the earth !" But you know that isn't good enough He needs to inherit the stars ! While he needs desperately to succeed He just doesn't have the time To blow any minds So blow your own He runs rings around your confidence, He undermines you , but undefines you When he reminds you he's fantastic, thinks he's brilliant (Hmm, three weeks ago he was listening to marillion !) But he's turning over a new leaf, a clover So few people noticed, so few Only a few people noticed This just undermines him This just undermines his confidence |
10. Battersea Patrician militia They're all Latin and fringe Sugar daddies care with the jobs for the boys and their old school ties Can't beat or join them Very nice, honey and sugar and spice It never fails, an innocent wag of a puppy-dog's tail You're killing me Don't do this, don't do this, don't do it To a woman of uncertain age Ryvita Lolita She walks like a piece of mascara'd Piccadilly trade And no-one will tell her Very nice, honey and sugar and spice It never fails, an innocent wag of a puppy-dog's tail You're killing me Don't do this, don't do this, don't do it To a woman of uncertainty Don't do this, don't do this, don't do it To a woman of uncertain age Should be taking the kids to school In her husband's German car Should be taking the kids to school But no, no I don't need a doctor I need you to take me seriously |

11. Messed Up She's working at the launderette There's not much time for the novellete She's been writing for several years or more But she's happier, happier, happier than When she fell in love at seventeen She's happier, happier, happier than then But not quite the happiest she's ever been The grass was ever so green He washed the car last Saturday Couldn't have picked a nicer day And if they ask, say yeah, say yeah He's happier, happier, happier then When they fell in love at seventeen He's happier, happier, happier than then But not quite the happiest he's ever been The grass was ever so green Their love waits for the sun to rise Their love waits where their hearts lie bleeding Two holes in the skyline with nowhere to go Nowhere to go I hope they're happier, happier, happier then When they fell in love at seventeen |
