You Cant Do That

It's just not on.
I seen one, two, three Gards
Bang a chaps head against the pavement.
You can't do that,
Whatever he's done
Sure doesn't deserve that treatment.
No matter what you say
No matter what you do
They'll pay no mind to you
They'll pay no mind to you
As we stood on
And started shouting
At the ones doing damage
To the young man's head
Then they got scared
You could see it in their eyes
Until more of them arrived
And told us to move away from there
No matter what you say
No matter what you do
They'll pay no mind to you
They'll pay no mind to you

Serious

It's time for us to stop being so serious
It's time for us to stop being so serious
I said hey
It's not as bad as you think it is
I'm thinking it's ok
We got each other now, you know
So there's no way
We can fail
We can't fail as long as we stay in the positive way
It's time for us to stop being so serious
It's time to wake up, get up and live and all realise
It's time for us to stop being so serious

Your tongue can tell a mouthful of lies
Engage your brain before you criticise
It's not the way
That's why I say
Don't be giving it all that
Don't be giving it all that
Telling me what's what and what is not
Don't be giving it all that
Eeny meeny miny mo
Tell me something I don't already know
I ask you to go
But still you remain
That's why I say
Don't be giving it all that
Don't be giving it all that
Telling me what's what and what is not
Don't be giving it all that
They're saying things I don't wanna hear
That's why I stick my fingers in my ears
And go la la la la la la la la la la la la
And they're still talking shite
La la la la la la la la la la
Don't be giving it all that
Don't be giving it all that
Telling me what's what and what is not
Don't be giving it all that
You see they're saying
You see they're saying
You see they're saying
You see they're saying
They're saying
Nigga, Jackeen, Faggot, Paki. Knacker, Queer
That's why I stick my fingers in my ears
And go la la la la la la la
And they're still talking shite
La la la la la la la
Don't be giving it all that
Don't be giving it all that
Telling me what's what and what is not
Don't be giving it all that

So What If I Am
04:37
|

|
So what if I am?
I don't have to listen to no man or woman
I'm coming, coming on strong
So what if I do?
Now what the hell's it got to do with you?
Do you, be true, when you go
La la la la
So tell me I'm wrong
You can leave it now
But I know it won't be long
Be strong
Come on
Come on
Come on
I see you sitting there trying to be wise
And all you do is criticize
All's a game
All is lost
All is won
Nothing new under the burning sun
So what if I am?
I don't have to listen to no man or woman
I'm coming, coming on strong

Little Dollar Signs
04:17
|
|||
|
We've been waiting such a long time
For a change to come
It's just around the corner
I've heard for oh so long
And they say look there now
Can't you see it's on it's way?
But I beg to differ/
It's getting worse I say
I can see your eyes
I can see your eyes
Little dollar signs
You say that you are winning
What now the bubble's burst
How could that be living
Fearing for the worst
And they say look there now
Everything has crashed
The wise are all on solid ground
While fools sink in the sand
I can see your eyes
I can see your eyes
Little dollar signs
If this keeps up
I'm packing up I'm leaving
I'm gone
I'll be gone by dawn
I won't stay too long
I'm leaving
We never had it better
Is something I've heard said
The very people saying these things
Are not the ones in debt
I can see your eyes
I can see your eyes
Little dollar signs
We can fight it
We can fight it
We can fight it
But we're fighting a losing battle
We can fight it
We can fight it
We can fight it
But we're fighting a losing battle
I can see your eyes
I can see your eyes
Little dollar signs

Back Off
02:33
|

I'm alone in the jungle
Trying to make my way home
I take a walk across O' Connell St
And hear the animals roar
They're barking at everyone
Spoiling for a fight
I think I can take them on
But maybe not tonight
So I gotta back off, back off
Cause something inside of me
Is telling me
This is not where I am meant to be
Back off, back off
Cause something inside of me
Is telling me
This is not where I am meant to be
I'm alone it's past closing time
On a saturday night
And the girls who look more like boys
Are asking for a light
They're calling out to anyone
You got to be wide
They don't need provocation
Cause their boys all carry knives
So I gotta back off, back off
Cause something inside of me
Is telling me
This is not where I am meant to be
Back off, back off
Cause something inside of me
Is telling me
This is not where I am meant to be
Should I stay
Should I cross the street?
Should I stay
Should I cross the street?

I Cant Hear You
03:29

Sometimes I get it into my head
Usually when I'm pissed
To go out looking for a woman in a nightclub
Small head doing the thinking
I hardly know my own name
But I give it a go, and I say
Ah ah ah eh eh eh eh eh eh
You know, you know you know
I can't hear you,
It's loud in here
I can't hear you
I can hardly hear myself think
Oh yeah
I can't see you
It's dark in here
I can't see you
But you're looking good in this light
Oh yeah
And if I blag my way inside
It must be a dive to let me in
I'm straight in there looking for a ride
No subtly
Try to make my way up to the bar
Seeing two of everything
You stand beside me think I'll chance my arm
But you don't understand
I can't hear you,
It's loud in here
I can't hear you
I can hardly hear myself think
Oh yeah
I can't see you
It's dark in here
I can't see you
But you're looking good in this light
Oh yeah
I walk up to you and ask you for a dance
And you say not a chance
Oh girl you must have misheard me
I said your arse looks big in those pants
Ah ah ah eh eh eh eh eh eh/ ah ah ah eh eh eh eh eh eh
Some times I get it into my head
Usually when I'm pissed
To go out looking for a woman in a nightclub
The small head doing the thinking, yeah
I hardly know my own name
So I give it a go and I say
Ah ah ah eh eh eh eh eh eh
You know, you know you know
I can't hear you it's loud in here
I can't hear you
I can hardly hear myself think
Oh yeah
I can't see you,
I'm as drunk as fuck
I can't see you
But you're looking good in this light
I can't hear you
I can't see you
I can't hear you
I can hardly hear myself think
