01 Girl Singing In The Wreckage

It's my primary instinct to protect the child
Girl singing in the wreckage
My dress is torn, my hair is wild
Girl singing in the wreckage

My first kiss, my early boyfriend
Girl singing in the wreckage
Wet weekends, new years eve parties
Girl singing in the wreckage

Chorus:
Hour after hour after hour (x2)

My 18th birthday, I'll die of boredom
Girl singing in the wreckage
My private world is smashed right open
Girl singing in the wreckage

My 1st trip, my expectations
I had a dream that it would end like this
No destiny, No destination
You hit the ground and then it stops

CHORUS

I miss my hometown, it's nothing special
Call my parents let them know I've arrived
My primary instinct is to protect the child
Send the postcard from the airport

02 England Made Me

I trapped a spider underneath the glass
I kept it for a week to see how long he lasted
He stared right back of me
He thought that he could win
We played the waiting game
He thought that I give in

England made me
England made me

I had a dream last night, that I was drunk
I killed the stranger, and left him in a trunk
In Brighton railway station
It was an unsolved case
A famous murder mystery
People love mystery

England made me
England made me
England made me
England made me

I need my privacy, I lead a secret life
Sleep with the enemy, and betray both sides
I travelled all my life, but never got away
From the killing jar, and it got me sick

England made me
England made me
England made me
England made me
England made me
England made me
England made me

03 New Baby Boom

New baby boom, starts today
I've got everything you need
Baby boom, take you home
I've been waiting so long

New baby boom slipping through your magic fingers
(New...) I'll meet a man

Chorus:
1st love song for our brand new son
1st love song
The kid is gone, he's not my son

England made me (x2)

New baby boom, your father is a famous man
(New...) He'll be here soon, I know he loves me
Now I've got the proof

Chorus 2:
I knew the first time that I saw his face
He'd be the one
The kid is gone, he's not my son

Bridge

CHORUS

New baby boom, congratulations
I've got everything I need
New baby boom, starts today

04 It's Only The End Of The World

It's only the end of the world
Not a death in the family
We've seen all the best sights, been on all the best rides
At the amusement park-on Saturday
We got tongue-tied, after all the best fights
Stuff that's too boring to trash, it's classless and crass
It's only the end of the world

Since the circus left town
We've been seen kicking round
And now every caress, is some cul-de-sac
We've already been down
We're just moving our lips, making the sound
The ground is still spinning, but it's slowing down
It's only the end of the world

Where is the love?

Satellites break up in the atmosphere
Our ashes are scattered in space
All of the answers fall into place
It's only the end of the world

Since the circus left town
The world just stopped spinning round
We've seen all the prize fires the Sunday gun-fighters
With their heads hanging down
We just go were the money goes
Your hands turn to dust, the magic is lost
It's only the end of the world

Where is the love?

It's only the end of the world
It's only the end of the world
The end of the world
The end of the world
The end of the world
The end of the world

05 Ideal Home

I was brought up in an ideal home
Bay windows let the sun shine through
Natural light chased the shadows
I was brought up in an ideal home

In an ideal home nothing you do can go wrong
In an ideal home everything's safe and you can
Sit by the fire, read a good book or watch TV

Miserable songs from the house next door
Perhaps they're planning to end it all
They should come around to our house
Like the sunshine, in our ideal home

In an ideal home nothing you do can go wrong
In an ideal home there's never an awkward silence
Turn out the lights, sit in the dark and watch the stars
Everything's safe in an ideal home

In an ideal home
In an ideal home
In an ideal home

06 Child Psychology

I stopped talking when I was six years old
I didn't want anything more to do with the outside world
I was happy being quiet
But of course they wouldn't leave me alone
My parents tried every trick in the book
From speech therapists to child psychologists
They even tried bribery
I could have anything, as long as I said it out loud

Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it
Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it

Of course this episode didn't last forever
I'd made my point and it was time to move on
To peel away the next layer of deceit
And see what new surprises lay in store
My school report said I showed no interest
'A disruptive influence' I felt sorry for them in a way
And when they finally expelled me
It didn't mean a thing

Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it
Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it

("At that time she stopped what she was doing, she stopped playing... she stared, she had the
facial grimicing... and then the psychiatrist was saying, "Julie, Julie, can you hear me? Can you
open your eyes? Can you stick out your tongue?" And all of a sudden, Julie struck out")

The November when I came home the Christmas decorations were already up
Spray on snow, coloured flashing lights
And an artificial tree that played Silent Night
Over and over again
My parents welcomed me with loving arms
But within an hour were back at each others throats
Normal, happy childhood back on course
Batteries not included

Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it
Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it
Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it
Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it

07 I. C. One Female

I.C. one female turn the sirens on
Just a small domestic situation

I.C. one female under surveillance
Heading Northwards as the crow flies

But I still love you, I bloody well love you

I.C. one female not making any sense
Don't think she realises the trouble that she's in

But I still love you, I bloody well love you
I still love you, I bloody well love you
I still love you, I bloody well love you
To death

But I still love you, I bloody well love you
I still love you, I bloody well love you

National hysteria, a final warning
She's heading Northwards as the crow flies

But I still love you, I bloody well love you
I still love you, I bloody well love you
I still love you, I bloody well love you
To death

I.C. one female
I.C. one female
I.C. one female
I.C. one female

09 Swinging

If you let me join your gang
I'll show you things you've never dreamed of
After school we'll steal a car
Drive until the feeling changes

All the people have to say "we're swinging"
"We don't like you, go away - we're swinging"
Feeling rotten to the core
And I don't need you anymore

Are you a hardcore hooligan?
Did you really burn the old school down?
If I set fire to you now
Will you even make a sound?

All the people have to say "we're swinging"
"We don't like you, go away - we're swinging"
Feeling rotten to the core
And I don't need you anymore

It's the end of the affair
Bet you never thought you'd even get this far
And I dare you to look down
See how brave you really are

Monmouth, Cardiff to the South Downs - "we're swinging"
From the coast to the cathedral towns - "we're swinging"
Feeling rotten to the core
And I don't need you anymore
And I don't need you anymore

10 Kidnapping An Heiress

Born into money it's not a crime
You can fool the people all the time
Nine hundred dead in Jonestown
Rescued from a shopping mall
Heiress with a little girls soul
Do you think we'll make the papers?

And we're searching for your daughter
And we're searching for your daughter

On Saturday the childhood ends
Strange way to make new friends
She's lying in the basement
Black boy, white girl
Black girl with a blindfold
Which one will be your lover

And we're searching for your daughter
And we're searching for your daughter
(Kidnapping an heiress)
(Kidnapping an heiress)
(Kidnapping an heiress)
(Kidnapping an heiress)

Lock her up for sixty days
Change her hair, change her name
Smile for the camera
Friendships about trust
If we trust you then you're one of us
Live together, die for each other

And we're searching for your daughter
(Kidnapping an heiress)
(Kidnapping an heiress)
And we're searching for your daughter
(Kidnapping an heiress)
(Kidnapping an heiress)
(Kidnapping an heiress)
(Kidnapping an heiress)

Born into money it's not a crime
You can fool the people all the time
Nine hundred dead in Jonestown
Get down, stay down
(Put a bullet in your head)
It's only money
Smile for the camera

How could you not defend your honour?
(Kidnapping an heiress)
(Kidnapping an heiress)
And we think we've found your daughter
(Kidnapping an heiress)
(Kidnapping an heiress)
And we think we've found your daughter
(Kidnapping an heiress)
(Kidnapping an heiress)
(Kidnapping an heiress)

11 Wonderful Life（UK）/ 12 Wonderful Life（US）

"It's a wonderful life"

Well you can bite the bullet
Breath in, breath out
Or be a victim all your life
Go window shopping
Save your money
Riches to rags overnight
It's a wonderful life

It's a wonderful life

You can join the family business
Serve behind the counter
Even have your name above the door
Join the order
Learn the handshake
You won't need protection anymore
It's a wonderful life

When you think it's over
You can look through your photos
Taken for prosperity and you'll find

Have an affair, get a new interest
Go into debt, go on the sick lists
Study at your leisure in your home
Get into shape, try to lose weight
Regain your confidence, control you fate
Victim of circumstance, look on the bright side
It's a wonderful life

It's a wonderful life
It's a wonderful life
It's a wonderful life

12 Hated Sunday（UK）/ 11 Hated Sunday（US）

Close the windows, draw the blinds
I can't stand it if the sun shines
On Sunday
Hated Sunday

Disturbing pictures on the news
Distant wars but they won't touch you
On Sunday
Hated Sunday

Your mother calls, she's alright
Your sister calls, she's in hospital

Honouring politician dead
Car found parked on Beachy Head
On Sunday
Hated Sunday

Oh to be in England on a Sunday
Dear old dismal England an a Sunday-ay

Hated Sunday

Sunday night, time stands still
One last drag, it still feels like school
Tomorrow
Hated Sunday

Your mother calls, she's alright
Your brother calls, he wants money

Oh to be in England on a Sunday
Dear old dismal England an a Sunday
Oh to be in England on a Sunday
Dear old dismal England an a Sunday-ay

13 Seasons In The Sun（US）

Good bye to you my trusted friend, we've known each other since we were
Nine or ten; together we climbed hills and trees,
Learned of love A B C;
Skinned our harts and skinned our knees.
Good bye my friend it's hard to die, when all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere, think of me and I'll be there

We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun,
but the hills that we climb were just seasons out of time.

Goodbye papa please pray for me, I was the black sheep of the family,
you tried to teach me right from wrong, too much wine and too much song,
wonder how I got along.
Goodbye papa it's hard to die, when all the birds are singing in the sky,
now that the spring is in the air,
little children everywhere ,
when you see them I'll be there.

We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun,
but the wine and the song like the seasons out of time.

Goodbye Michelle my little one,
you gave me love and helped me find the sun,
and every time that I was down,
you always come around and
get my feet back on the ground,
Goodbye Michelle it's hard to die,
when all the birds are singing in the sky,
now that the spring is in the air,
whit the flowers everywhere,
I wish that we could both be there.

We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
but the stars we could reach were just starfish on the beach
"Every thing was better in the good old days,
when everybody was in pain"

14 Factory Radio（US）

This is the soundtrack of my life
This is the song that keeps me breathing
Under the water a distant light
From Monday morning to Friday night

Factory radio
Factory radio

This is no ordinary life
This is the place where I belong
This is the song I've learned to sing
Familiar words a million times

15 Lord Lucan Is Missing（US）

It seems like years ago
That the headlines read:
Lord Lucan is missing (x2)

Lord Lucan is missing (x4)

Fleet Street looked everywhere
And the police did too
Lord Lucan is missing (x2)

Repeat Chorus

Miss him at the Clearmont Club
Or in The South of France
Playing on the roulette wheel
In another game of chance

Lord Lucan is missing (x2)

Repeat Chorus
