From Ghost Town (1981): |
You've done too much, Much too young Now you're married with a kid When you could be having fun with me (Oh no, no gimme no more pickni) You've done too much, (We don't want, we don't want Ain't he cute? You've done too much, (No gimme, no gimme, |
Call me immature Call me a poser I'd love to spread manure in your bed of roses Don't want to be rich Don't want to be famous But I'd really hate to have the same name as you (You silly moo) You've done too much, (Gi we de birth control, we no want no pickni) You've done too much, (Oh no, no gimme no more pickni) Ain't you heard of the starving millions |
You're working at your leisure to learn the things you'll need Working for the rat race You plan your conversation to impress the college bar |
You'll be working for the rat race Working for the rat race Just working at your leisure to learn the things you don't need Working for the rat race |
|
Out of bed at eight am Out my head by half past ten Out with mates and dates and friends That's what I do at weekends I can't talk and I can't walk But I know where I'm going to go I'm going watch my money go At the Locarno, no When my feet go through the door I go out on Friday night
|
I like to venture into town I like to get a few drinks down The floor gets packed the bar gets full I don't like life when things get dull The hen party have saved the night And freed themselves from drunken stags Having fun and dancing in A circle round their leather bags I go out on Friday night But two o'clock has come again I go out on Friday night |
"Why?" (from Ghost Town, 1981) |
|
Why did you try to hurt me? I got to know Did you really want to kill me? Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why Why do we have to fight? I know I am black Why did you try to hurt me? We don't need no British Movement I just want to live in peace |
With a Nazi salute and a steel capped boot A Nazi salute and a steel capped boot You follow like sheep inna wolf clothes You follow like sheep inna wolf clothes We chase you out the dance hall, we chase you through the door We chase you out the dance hall, we chase you through the door Cos' we can't take no more of this at all Cos' we can't take no more of this at all With a Nazi salute and a steel capped boot Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why You follow like sheep inna wolf clothes Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why You're too scared to make a speech during the light Why did you try to hurt me? With a Nazi salute and a steel capped boot |
"Ghost Town" (from Ghost Town, 1981) |
|
This town, is coming like a ghost town All the clubs have been closed down This place, is coming like a ghost town Bands won't play no more too much fighting on the dance floor Do you remember the good old days before the ghost town? |
This town, is coming like a ghost town Why must the youth fight against themselves? Government leaving the youth on the shelf This place, is coming like a ghost town No job to be found in this country Can't go on no more The people getting angry This town, is coming like a ghost town |
