Drivel head wears her glad rags
She's got her keys money and fags
I know that her mind is made up
To get rocked

Drivel head needs a new man
As only a drivel head can
He's a hormonal nightmare
So beware

Another victim of line up in line
Line up in line is all I remember
Oh how their favors change
You could have been kinder
Yes, yes, line up in line
Line up in line is all I remember
Oh how their favors change
You could have been mine

Drivel head knows all the stars
Loves to suck their shining guitars
They've all been right up her stairs
Do you care?
(no...)

Drivel head knows all the bands
Knows them like the back of her hands
You can't see the wood for the trees
On your knees

Another victim of line up in line
Line up in line is all I remember
Oh how your favors change
You could have been kinder
Yes, yes, line up in line
Line up in line is all I remember
Oh how your favors change
You could have been mine

Annie, told me,
Get out of here, head for the sea,
The sun is hot and the air is clean
The best things in the world are free
And Mister Murphy
Likes his Jackanory
Holsten Export times three
Jimi Hendrix and Thin Lizzy

Annie, Annie, Annie

Met a mate in the afternoon
Holsten shore line pub crawl
Looking for some cold beer
Missed the stone punch drunk Judy
Tony, brandy, M.G., Andy
Vodka, scotch and loads of beer
It's so great we want to stay here

Annie, Annie, Annie

Riding on any wave,
That is the luck you crave,
They don't believe it now,
They just think it's stupid,
So got anything?
Anyone could have done,
Who would've cared at all,
not you.

Another heart has made the trade,
Forget it, forget it, forget it,
I don't understand how a heart is a spade,
But somehow the vital connection is made.

Riding on anything,
Anything's good enough,
Who would've thought it of
Someone like you,
Just as they brought me round,
Now that they brought you down,
Roundabout and roundabout
Who wants a life anyway?

Another heart has made the grade,
Forget it, forget it, forget it,
I don't understand how the last card is played,
But somehow the vital connection is made.

You could call me a car lover
'Cause I love it in a motor
And the way it feels
To ride around on new wheels
I hardly know you
But I think I'm going to
Let's go siesta
In your Ford Fiesta

Here we go again
I'm riding in your car
Let me count to ten
'Cause it's gone way too far
Up my street to nowhere
You know what detours are
Here we go again
And it's gone way too far

Sometimes I just can't function
My heart's spaghetti junction
Every shining bonnet
Makes me think of my back on it
I just can't escape the feeling
That I'd rather be free-wheeling
In every little Honda
There may lurk a Peter Fonda...ooh..

Here we go again
I'm riding in your car
Let me count to ten
'Cause it's gone way too far
Up my street to nowhere
You know what detours are
Here we go again
And it's gone way too far

1, 2, 3, 4
Peaches and cream, where have you been?
Did you know I've been waiting all night
Who's bed where you in? Who's head were you turning?
Don't you know I've been out of my mind

Cos I know what you fear you will find
Oh why...

Sweetness and light
I don't wanna fight you
But I don't wanna listen to lies
Your face is a mess
You know you should drink less
And I don't wanna hear how the time flies

And I know by the look in your eyes
You were talking to some girl who's seen you, I heard what she said
She said she thought that she knew you although you had only just met
Oh yeah.. Oh!

Don't stop talking sharp
I'll see you down the time swap
I've been tested and tried
Lost on the tide
So cold inside
Do you know I've been out of my mind?
Cuz you know what you fear that you'll find
I was talking to some girl that you said you'd seen her before
Oh my head's such a mess 'Till I hear your key in the door
Oh yeah... oh yeah!

Don't stop shaking it's my head
That makes me want to second guess at a distance
Hoping there's a method to your madness baby
I might just understand if you obey me
Hold me now I need assistance
I'd take somebody else if I could

Walking down tree-lined place so pensive in the country
I can't take the voodoo that you do
Just lust easier sussed real love makes me untrue
It's hard to make a stew when the meat keeps looking up at you
And hold me now I need assistance
Follow down the path of least resistance
Hold me now don't keep your distance
I'd take somebody else if I could

Hold me now I need assistance
Why don't you take the path of least resistance
Hold me now do I need a license to hold you?

Hold me now I need assistance
Follow down the path of least resistance
Hold me now will it take a lifetime to hold you?

And now we find
Looking back at your state of mind,
Was it all just a cover up?
Woke your mother up
You were on TV

Did the devil say to you
You can make it through
I'll take you to the top
And now that you're heaven bent
And it pays the rent
Is it hard to stop?

Chorus:

S.O.F.T Thought you knew the score
S.O.F.T Always wanted more
S.O.F.T Are you sure you're sure
S.O.F.T

And now we find
Looking back at your state of mind
Was it all just a cover up?
Broke your mother up
On my TV

Did the devil say to you
You can make it through
I'll take you up the shop
And in a dress too small
To be a dress at all
Is it hard to stop?

Rpt. Chorus

If you want to
Then you've got to
Let it show
It is waiting
It is waiting
Yeah..

If you want to
Then you've got to
Let it go
It is waiting
It is waiting
(It is waiting) oohh..

Here we go.. here we go

John's gone his senses loaded over by your house,
You know, it's so basic

One two three four

John's gone his senses loaded
Over by your house
It's so basic
I think you're faking
Have a good time
But don't get into my head
Do you recommend I wait a while
Direct and live or keep it
Constant
And selective blue

I can read your mind
If you want to
I will let you blue
I can read your mind
If you want to
I will let you

John's gone he needs attention
Do you understand
His inclination?
I've seen you shaking
Come down here
And I'll show you the wrong way
Try to rearrange this tired old line
Connect this smile and keep it
Standard
And reflective blue

I can read your mind
If you want to
I will let you blue
I can read your mind
I will let you
If you want to

"What'd you mean tig goes while I'm out?"

It's nearly eleven, Do you think we'll stand the test of time
You're a cloud short of heaven, But you know I want you to be mine
And I'm sitting here, And it is getting frustrating

Got to go to the garage,
Got to get some fags and make some tea
Can you lend me enough wedge
Do you want to walk up there with me?
And i'm sitting here waiting, yeah and its getting frustating

Oh we've been here all night
I can feel a strange attraction
And It's getting light
Yeah I can't spur you into action
Do you know?
That someone.. Oh.. Oh!

It's a quarter to seven
Don't you think we've stayed up long enough
You're a cloud short of heaven
But I'd love to see you strut your stuff
And I'm sitting here waiting
Yeah, and it could be X-rated

We could be oh so happy
We could be oh so happy!

I'd work very hard, but I'm lazy
I can't take the pressure and it's starting to show
In my heart, you know how it pains me
A life of leisure is no life you know

Chorus:
Waking up and getting up has never been easy
Oh, I think you should know
Waking up and getting up has never been easy
Oh, I think you should know
Oh, I think you should go
Make a cup of tea, put a record on

I'd work very hard, but I'm lazy
I've got a lot of songs but they're all in my head
I'll get a guitar, and a lover who pays me
If I can't be a star I won't get out of bed

(Chorus x 2)

Keeping a brave face
In circumstances is impossible
Cannot describe
So many
Decisions
It's impossible
To know which is
The proper order
The best position
To be in
take advantage
or so it seems
the way it goes

Sandman comes (it's tragic)
Two to one (laid down on your side)
In the dark (Too easy)
Dark reflections (you know that you know)
In my head (You're soaking wet)
In my bed (You talk too much)
Again (It's not necessary)

Sandman goes (Before the ice melts)
Two in tow (I just want to say)
Wet and dumb (this packet's yours)
Three's the number (Don't ask for more)
Coming down (Cos somewhere along the line)
Coming down again (I've forgotten already)

See that animal get some heavy metal
Watch the world go singing sha-la-la-la
White stick happiness, will we ever know how it feels, how it feels?
I feel your tatoo on mine, but I can't wash it off this time
Oh it's time, oh it's time, oh it's time, oh it's time.

See that drug act, that AC/DC drag act on the wires in the sky tonight
Fifteen new cities, but will we ever know how it feels, how it feels.
I feel my tatoo on you, it's a sweet thing Terry, but it's not true
It's not true, It's not true, It's not true, It's not true.

No need to whine boy
Like a wind up toy you stutter at my feet
And it's never the time boy
You've had too much wine to stumble up my street
Well it isn't a problem
Nothing we can't keep between the sheets
Tell me you're mine love
And I will not wait for other bedtime treats

Is there something you lack
When I'm flat on my back
Is there something that I can do for you?
It's always something you hate
Or it's something you ate
Tell me is it the way that I touch you?
Have you found a new mate
And is she really great
Is it just that I'm much too much for you?

Don't feed me a line boy
I can hear that voice you use upon the phone
And there's no need to be coy
That is something you can do upon your own
Well it isn't a problem
Nothing we can't solve so just relax
Am I on the wrong train love
And will I have to tie you to the tracks

Is there something you lack
When I'm flat on my back
Is there something that I can do for you?
It's always something you hate
Or it's something you ate
Tell me is it the way that I touch you?
Have you found a new mate
And is she really great
Is it just that I'm much too much for you?

I really want you to
I really want you to

It's a sign of devotion
You made everybody else seem insane
You filled my head with your notions
You made everybody else seem so tame
In your bed I lay reeling
You made everybody else seem a shame
I knew from the way I was feeling
Nothing could ever be quite the same

I moved straight into your shoes
I took up your cause and answered your phone
I couldn't really imagine
What life was like when I was alone
Then I started to worry (then I started to worry)
I thought of our lives left on the shelf
Too much TV and curry
Too much time spent on ourselves

We were sitting in, waiting
And I told you my plan
You were far too busy writing
Rhymes that didn't scan
And you leant me your records
And I leant you an ear
Funny how it seems to me now
That you were never here
Never really here

In our bed I lay reeling
You made everybody else seem a shame
I knew from the way I was feeling
Nothing could ever be quite the same
It's a sign of devotion
You made everybody else seem so plain
Then it felt like going through the motions
First impressions never remain

We were sitting in, waiting
And you told me your plan
I was far too busy writing
Rhymes that'll never scan
Now I've sold all your records
Cause they give me the fear
Funny how it seems to me now
That you were never here
Never really here
Never really here

When you're stuck like glue, Vaseline
When you need some goo

When you're stuck like glue, Vaseline
When you're black and blue, Vaseline

La La La La La La La La La La

When you're stuck like glue
Give me some

When you're stuck like glue

If you'd like to woo, Vaseline

La La La La La La La La La La

If it's hot like you,
Give me some

Do you need a clue,
I want some Vaseline, Vaseline, Vaseline, Vaseline, Vaseline, Vaseline.
