01: Boy
You’re a boy, who needs love
Who needs love love love?
But nothing comes
There’s no sun
Only rain rain rain
Don’t lose heart
The universe is dark
You long to see a spark, boy
You’re just one of us
Silver screen, how it gleams
All those dream dream dreams
Don’t lose hope
Take up your telescope
Behold the cosmic joke, boy
You’re just one of us
Heroes cry as heroines wave bye-bye
Many times, they see them through their closed eyes
Far too many times
Who needs love, who needs love
Who needs love love love?
02: Stop Looking at the Moon
Oh, look at those girls, look at that blue sky
No love nor money could take them away from me
Oh, look at that view look at those palm trees
There’s Hollywood dust in the air of a bright blue sea
Everybody waits for the pistol
Looking down a dusty track
Winner gets a brand new mansion
No looking back
Please stop looking at the moon with such emotion
Please stop looking at the moon with such devotion
It bothers me…
Oh, this is my smile, this is my selfie
I’m young and dumb and my smart phone thinks for me
Everybody dreams of the big time
Dancing under New York lights
Don’t you know that everyone there
Is as blonde as the night?
Please stop looking at the moon with such emotion
Please stop looking at the moon with such devotion
It bothers me…
Oh, you’ll never be free
Running along that road
Don’t you know all the gold In the rainbow
Has been sold?
Please stop looking at the moon with such emotion
Please stop looking at the moon with such devotion
It bothers me…
03: Little Monsters
I am cleaning out the glass
In case a spaceship flies past
And takes me back to Earth
Back to real dirt…
And everybody else is wrapping presents
But Christmas is no fun with Vulcan parents
And I’ve lost Captain Kirk
And my phaser does not work
Just a feeling in the air
Of something else out there…
And everybody’s scared of little monsters
Especially when they look like giant lobsters
I am drinking all the gin
When the hostess wanders in
And declares that all is lost
Clutching a fake cross…
And everybody else is cracking eggshells
And making cakes the Vulcan’s say they can’t smell
And I’ve lost Captain Kirk
And my phaser does not work
And the moon is very still
Like the reading of a will…
And everybody’s scared of little monsters
Especially when they look like giant lobsters
Everybody’s scared of Little monsters
Especially when they look like giant lobsters
04: Someone Will Cry
One day we’ll surely die
And I hope that for all of us
Someone will cry
Imagine, just lying there
All withered on a bed
I’m praying that something else
Takes my life instead
Perhaps, deep down a carpark
I’ll meet a sudden end
Attached by a teenager
Determined to offend
One day we’ll surely die
Beneath the soggy undergrowth
Forever lie…
One day we’ll surely die
And I hope that for all of us
Someone will cry
Well maybe, off the coast of Spain
Where no-one could have known
A shark, so dark and deadly
A ripple and a moan
A bloody sea and bubbles
Where a bather used to be
Perhaps a little too much
But it still posses me…
Cos one day we’ll surely die
Beneath the sod and scrubby grass
Forever lie…
One day we’ll surely die
And I hope that for all of us
Someone will cry
Or trapped, inside an aeroplane
Where something has gone wrong
A stewardess is screaming
I know it won’t be long…
Then suddenly she turns around
Her eyes so full of tears
Her bossom, full to bursting
And whispers in my ear:
I love you like nobody ever will…
05: My Friends Can't Dance
Oh, I get a queasy feeling
When I see my brothers reeling
Don’t you think that eighteen pints is enough
To help you strut your funky stuff?
Yes, I get an uneasy feeling
When I see my brothers eating
Fitting in a curry on the way to a club
Well they just can’t get enough
My friends can’t dance
But if you want them to
They’ll make love to you…
Yes, I know you’re feeling groovy
Why else would you do what you do?
Talking to that girl who wouldn’t get off that stage
Well, she was half your age
My friends can’t dance
But if you want them to
They’ll make love to you
Oh, I love the way you shake it
No one doubts you’ll ever make it
But don’t you think that eighteen pints is enough
Is enough, is enough, is enough?
06: Roofs & Rafters
All through the day and the nights as I roam
Feel your heart in mine
Lost in the haze of a quick half and hour
In the arms of some strange girl
Green as the paint on the end of your toes
Greener than the sea
Mean as the words on the end of the phone
When you told me one more time:
You’re unkind
All around us
Roofs and Rafters
Oh, I know I belong
I know I belong here
All through the days and the nights as I walk
Down a sunlit street
Blue as the heat at the end of the day
Blue as my white feet
You’re unkind
All around us
Roofs and Rafters
Oh, I know I belong
I know I belong here
And all my days hereafter
Tears of joy and laughter
