Fishing For More Luckies Lyrics
1. Inglorious
someone out there really likes me, you'll never be this side of ninety
you'll never feel the strength of wonder to get out of the shit I'm under
do I sense some depravation? I've got a toothache and an itching
the face to face and loser zeros, and I'm a-shouting and illegal
(slow as) ( -me), stop me, stop me, stop me
we could be anywhere, but you choose a (mere)
all the drinks, ((oh)) for (fast) (so), you act like you never take a
sip ((..)) 'til I (say) get down (so), you're feeling deep
in need,
CHORUS:
inglorious, well take a back stance
shake your face and buckle your pants
wake and see, you're young and free and boring us
inglorious - 20 month leaders, anger fuel of a justice appears
don't cry pain, you'll (break your chains/make no change), it's obvious
inglorious
when you believe your class of bitching, someone been your pointless listening
and make (..) when you love your (..), and then they're just as weak as you are
so unhappy 'bout your vision, and come inside your blank tradition
a week of never beat the heroes, a week of generation follows
(..), afraid, stop, afraid, stop, afraid, stop, afraid
we could be anywhere where the future shares
something fast, (so) be good, (so) be better, (and) be eighties am I
set (back), to cash?, (back) you'll come when the work is done
in (dream),
CHORUS:
inglorious, well take a back stance
shake your face and buckle your pants
wake and see, you're young and free and boring us
inglorious, so make a few stabs,
sail the wind and obey 'em or else
sex and sin with something's been in all of us
inglorious
(go!)
sailing all in a (million)/(sail it all in a meeting?)
(cue empty/ endlessly)
all the girls want a mother
(give to ..)
still, well I can hear y'all bullshit
still, I can hear it all, raaaaa, aaaaa
well why can't you, where d'ya fall? (pull)
stop me, stop me, stop me, stop me
you could be anywhere, but you choose a mere
so you quit ((..)), but first ((..)), they laugh ((..)), the loser's in the
bath ((..)), insist ((..)), an ever growing (list) of debt
in (?)
CHORUS:
inglorious, well take a back stance
take your place and buckle your pants
wake and see, you're young and free and boring us
inglorious, well maybe it's you, music's all that'll ever get through
people tire so quickly of the glamourous
inglorious, inglorious
2. If Life Is Like A Love Bank
on and on you wait so long
it only takes a word if you found where it went wrong
fists, gists and communists
I feel like a log, it's a dog in onyx
take it awhile and adjust a-myself
ooh, it was something else
well, it was something else...
CHORUS:
if life (x8)
if love is like a love bank I want an overdraft (x4)
yeah!
in, in, invest to gain
you go get out and you find there's nothing
take, take, the whole world rakes
you don't get it back - that's a-economics
gets to my head, is it good for my health?
and it was something else
well it was something else...
CHORUS
everyone will take it till there's nothing left to give
(shit/ cheers/ fuck knows!)...
CHORUS:
love is like a love bank, I want am overdraft
if love is like a love bank I want an overdraft (x10)
if love is like a love bank
3. Schizophonic
and once upon a time, so pure and crystalline
the sounds would change to what the mood defined
it didn't play a role, it just said bare the soul
and then we left it up to crowd control
without a code of dress within the fold
then I heard somebody shout: "hair is in, now it's out
there is no exception to the rule"
showbiz personalities have become authorities, so...
take a trip, shake it home, make a slip and the time it gets atone
get it in, get it out, do it right and there ain't no doubt, well there ain't no doubt being
CHORUS:
there's a (heartache)
schizophonic (x3)
schizo...
if there's a sound you play that doesn't fit today
why not just play the bastard anyway?
ignore those journalists, we're just one mind you miss
the only voice is what you say is yours
so don't get lost in corporate corridors
those that wait to twist the knife from the other side of life
trying to gain some access into yours
oh, but would you be in theirs, shouting orders from your chair, well?
(east (to) west, even burn)
get a life from the things you've seen not heard
mix the colours, watch the smoke
if they don't get it then it ain't no joke, no it ain't no joke being
CHORUS:
there's a (heart there)
schizophonic (x5)
well you're never alone with a schizophone (x2)
take your time, speak your mind
believe their politics that push you on under
feel it all with open eyes
you know it's hard to fit (if) you're something unusual
be inspired, a freak with pride
it's what they'll never be
and they will come running
look at them running
so,
plug it in, let it out
look around and there's a lot to shout about
(say) nothing and you are nothing
don't be a dead man sucking on teats while the world competes, be
CHORUS:
there's a (heartache)
schizophonic (x5)
well you're never alone with a schizophone (x4)
take a risk from your lone time, use it all, like a mainline
feeling restless, supersonic, got a ticket, getting on it
schizophonic (x36+)
4. Do The Channel Bop
shut your mouth, can't you see that I'm ignoring you?
your lips are moving up and down, you're trying to get a message through
but here and now I'm absolutely miles away
I'm thinking of a million things and none (are/of) what you're trying to say
you've got to put me out (of) your misery (misery)
you're talking and you're talking and you
ne-ver shut - up and you're fucking up
you're wearing on my patience, on my sanity (sanity)
(here's 50p, go and phone someone that gives a shit)
'cos I'm not alone, but by myself (aa-aa), so go and talk to someone else
CHORUS:
I've got conversation (o-oh) constipation (o-oh), just took a small vacation
in silence (o-oh) and thunder (o-oh), and your mouth just put me under, stall the rage
'cos all of the good boys and girls in the world do the channel bop (x3)
late at night I lock myself inside my private room
until the fighting die(s) and normal service was resumed
and now I'm back, I guess I never really went away
it's kinda cold in here but it's a welcome stay
So when I choke on the silage that you're puking out (puking out)
d'ya mind if I see you as vibrato potato (ta-ta)
shit out of things that we can talk about (talk about)
so let's try 'goodbye', see y'round mind if I
(au revoir), closing down, I tried to warn you but you're in blab town
CHORUS
cold patootie tango(x4)
'cos I'm not alone, by myself, so go and talk to someone else
CHORUS
all of the good boys and girls in the world do the channel bop (x3)
all of the good boys and girls in the world do the channel bop
5. Geordie In Wonderland
now that I've changed and the rest have all stayed
well, why do I feel so confused?
some of the best of me plans have been laid
and some of me best moments used
I've been out for the count in a Mexican bar-o
stranded in nowhere with a-nothing but me
ah, lads, I did(n't) understand - I'm a Geordie in Wonderland
some of the shit has sprouted in roses
and some of the roses have died
forced by meself to follow conviction
and ignore what I'm missing inside
I've been loved by the sweetest and hated by heroes
life's still (a) surprise and the friends come and go
ah, lads, I did(n't) understand - I'm a Geordie in Wonderland
(whoop-whoop, whoop-whoop)
I've had praise I've had ridicule, either meant nothing
faced with the task of tomorrow's demands
oh, lads, I didn't understand - I'm a Geordie in Wonderland
oh, lads, I didn't understand - I'm a Geordie in Wonderland
(whoop-whoop)
oh, lads, I didn't understand - I'm a Geordie in Wonderland
6. Sky Babies
back on my planet, they laugh at my jokes, and everyone drinks and everyone smokes
no-one speaks 'less there's something to say, there's no posh words just telecommunique
back on my planet you cannot tell lies, 'cos everyone would see it by the look in your eye
parties that last for a couple of days, no one sleeps cos beds are prohibited
back on my planet, silence is granted
we're laughing at the earthlings
back on my planet, back on my planet
(and meanwhile)
back on my planet where dinosaurs roam, and uncut TV beaming into your home
as Mother Nature being eager and free, money don't talk just givin' ability
back on my planet, rules are all slanted
we're tokin' to be broken
back on my planet, back on my planet, back on my planet...
take a trip down an open road, all the eyes on an evening star
gets to move a bit closer to the ground, like night at play
wanna know what I need to know, wanna see that we ain't in charge
where the superpowers will try to run it down
all alone, you're not alone
'cos it's a meeting time for a different neighbour,small and slight and grey
something going on, something going on, something going on...
look into those eyes, it comes as no surprise
it's little more than science fiction the government replies
they could be taking our daughters, they could be taking our ladies, making
sky babies, sky babies, sky babies
I, I'm looking at the sky tonight, everything clear defined, just like the last time
all ideas inside my head, anything like a real one?
I'm looking from the floor tonight, weary of humankind
tired of the chains that bind, wasting time on diatribe
and all the time the walls are closing in, I'm feeling stuck inside again
with something more divine than suicide, more generous than faith
cos when I get to see a new sun arive, I'll be myself, blame it on the other side
I'll slip away, I'll do it with ease, I'll take a cheap seat, please...
CHORUS:
'cos you're the only one thing I wanna know
so won't you take me with you when you go?
and there's a million feelings I wanna show
if you take me with you when you go
yesterdays dreams don't mean nothing it seems, 'cos the big life keeps them waiting
and the people we find with a polythene mind, they just don't care at all
and the (halcyon) days of innocence stays as a memory plays it one more
time, here today, gone tomorrow
this is it in layman's terms, phenomenon of UFOs
is well acknowledged by the state but secret to the president
employed to be a public face and keep the public feeling safe
but higher powers in the government hide something a million times
the size of the killing of JFK, the CIA are aware that higher
powers exist with untold knowledge of life and death dimension, it could
alter public awareness of religion, which is the only faith
that keeps us all in true control, and that's why we can never know...
they're shaking, and they're fucking us again
'cos you're the on-ly one thing I-wanna... know
CHORUS:
so won't you take me with you when you go?
and there's a million feelings I wanna show
if you take me with you when you go
'cos you're the only one thing I wanna know
if you take me with you when you go
and there's a million feelings I wanna show
if you take me with you when you go
'cos you're the only one thing I wanna know...
7. Underkill
eureka, eureka, eureka, the cheaper alternative
let's steal now, let's steal now, let's steal from the fashions with a (not to kill)
a (dealing, a dealing), a blow job for every corporate executive
a-when the lights go out it's you and (palace seats at home )and turns around
you'll be there in your dressing-gown and sowing all the seams
be a (summer toth bath) 'cos you've gotta go free, you've got a backstage pass so you're V.I.P.
I bet you're happy right now but where will you be
when they ask you to beg for the cash you demand and you wake at a song 'cos it's all second-hand
so bleed it, so bleed it, so bleed like you need it, your free 60 seconds of fame
(they've seen it, they've seen it, they've seen all of bleed on the back of) again
but if you miss something don't look around there ain't no time you're losing ground
they own your flesh by pound by pound those cunts you chose to leave
CHORUS:
(it's) the cheapest thrill, and it's the quickest meal, try underkill
it's the cheapest thrill, it's the quickest meal
try underkill (x4)
(x2)
it's the cheapest thrill, and it's the quickest meal, try underkill
((a-when you don't keep still) try underkill) (x12)
I'll do anything, a-just as long as I feel
(we'll be big, tall, Nelson, live to fame)
be a rock'n'roll star (but a formula laid)
(we'll be big, tall, Nelson, live to fame)
and let's split, with the cash
(we only did it 'cos we're broke...)
