Текст песни:

Down in Albion
They′re black and blue
But we don′t talk about that
Are you from ′round here?
How do you do?
I′d like to talk about that

Talk over
Gin in teacups
And leaves on the lawn
Violence in bus stops
And the pale thin girl with eyes forlorn

More gin in teacups
And leaves on the lawn
Violence in dole queues
And the pale thin girl
Behind the checkout

If you′re looking for a cheap sort
Set in false anticipation
I′ll be waiting in the photo booth
At the underground station

So come away, won′t you come away
We could go to...
Deptford, Catford, Watford, Digberth, Mansfield
Ahh anywhere in Albion

Anywhere in Albion
Anywhere in Albion

Yellowing classics
And canons at dawn
Coffee wallahs and pith helmets
And an English song

Mmm... Reebok classics
And canons at dawn
Terrible warlords, good Warlords
And an English song

Oo if you′re looking for a cheap sort
All glint with perspiration
There′s a four-mile queue
Outside the disused power station

Now come away, oh say you′ll come away
We′ll go to...
Satsworth, Senford, Weovil, Woomoyle, NEW-CAST-LE

If you are looking for a cheap tart
Don′t glint with perspiration
There′s a five-mile queue
Outside the disused power station
Now come away (away), won′t you come away

We′ll go to...
Bedtown, Oldham, Nunthorpe, Rowlam, Bristol
Aaa-nywhere in Albion

Anywhere in Albion
Anywhere in Albion
Anywhere in Albion
Anywhere in Albion...

Down in Albion
Ah, they′re black and blue
But we don′t talk about that
Are you from ′round here?
How do you do?
I′d like to talk about that

Talk over
Gin in teacups
And leaves on the lawn
Violence in bus stops
And the pale thin girl with eyes forlorn

Aah, gin in teacups
And leaves on the lawn
Violence in dole queues
And the pale thin girl behind the checkout

But if you′re looking for a cheap talk
Glint with perspiration
There′s a four-mile queue
Outside the disused power station
Now come away, won′t you come away
We′ll go to
Deptford, Digby...
Anywhere in Albion

Yellowing classics
And canons at dawn
...
Reebok classics
And canons at dawn
...

But if you′re looking for a cheap sort
That′s in false anticipation
It′ll be waiting in the photo booth
At the railway station

Ah come away, won′t you come away
We′re going to...
Watford, London Fields
Anywhere oh

If you′re looking for a cheap sort
That′s in false anticipation
It′ll be waiting in the photo booth
At the underground station

Oh come away, won′t you come away
We′re going to...

Текст песни:

I heard it said
You had come back from the dead
You were playing so fine
Scooping up the soul of the wine
Now courage my boy
When they look you in the eye
Try not to look too scummy
If you need some money
And you want their money

Now I know...
This ain′t no happy place to be
You know they′re nice around me
You know they′re nice about me
And everyone agrees

About what′s won in a year from here, my friend
Promises, promises...
You′ve heard it all before

But nobody ever
Ever get me more...

Oh yes courage my boy
When you look them in the eye
That they laugh if they try to be funny

All along...
Belong
You′re still my son
And coin my words
Oh it′s absurd how you get so
Very old, man
Typical tan
Took me in hand
To ...

... hour
Banged or bruised

Текст песни:

In the morning where does all the pain go
The same place the fame goes straight to your head
Ah, its not easy getting it out my head
It wasn′t easy gettin outta bed
So much shame on the workman who blames his tools
Then so the saying goes so its said
The way you tease me, tease me outta my head
Ah, its not easy forgettin what you said

I know you used to be into me
Now you′ve got it in for me

In the morning where does all the pain go
The same place the fame goes straight to your head
It wasn′t easy gettin you outta my head
Ah, its to easy gettin out my head
Given up trying to explain I′ll just put it in a song
instead
Ah, it′s not easy gettin outta bed
Ah, its too easy gettin outta my head

I know where to find, where to find you my love

At the same old place by the river, the only way in is
through the window, through the window

Текст песни:

Sit right down cause you′re a friend
You know there ain′t too many left of them
You said I want love, I want it all

You look better now than last time
But you still look better from afar
The life that you wanted wasn′t in store
You′re being the dark horse again

Hello, Hello
Hello, My Love (x3)

Stop your moaning and I′ll give you a taster
Give you a line, oh what a waster
So don′t!
You say you will or you won′t
Do or you don′t (x3)

Cause you look better now than the last time
But you′re still no better than before
The life that you wanted wasn′t in store
You′re being the dark horse again

Hello, Hello
Hello, My Love (x3)

When it suits you, you′re a friend of mine (x15)

Cause you look better now than the last time
But you′re still no better than before
The life that you wanted wasn′t in store
You′re being the dark horse again

Cause you look better now than the last time
But you′re still no better than before
The life that you wanted wasn′t in store
You′re being the dark horse again

Текст песни:

It′s all and the same
It′s all and the same, oh

So what′s the use between death and glory?
I can′t tell between death and glory
Happy endings, no, they never bore me
Happy endings, they still don′t bore me
They, they have a way
A way to make you pay
And to make you toe the line
Sever the ties
Because I′m so clever
But clever ain′t wise

And fuck forever
If you don′t mind
Fuck forever
If you don′t mind (don′t mind)

What′s the use between death and glory?
I can′t tell between death and glory
New Labour and Tory
Pergatory and happy families

All and the same
All and the same
No, it′s not the same
It′s not suppose to be the same

Know about that way
The way they′ll make you pay
And the way they make you toe the line
Sever the ties
Oh, you′re so clever
You′re so clever but not very nice
So fuck forever
If you don′t mind
I′m stuck forever
(I′m stuck) in your mind

Go ahead and know about that way
To make you feel/realise to make you pay
And...
To make you toe the line
Sever the ties
I′ll never...
Sever the ties
And fuck forever
If you don′t mind
See I′m stuck forever
I′m stuck in your mind, your mind, your mind, your mind


Demo Version

How d′you choose between death and glory?
How d′you choose between death and glory?
Happy endings don′t bore me
Happy endings, they never bored me

They, they have a way
They have a way to make you pay
And to make you toe the line
Sever the ties
Oh I′m so clever
But I′m not very wise
Fuck forever
If you don′t mind
I′m stuck forever
Stuck in your mind

How d′you choose between death and glory?
But I musta choose between death and glory?
Between Labour and Tory
Pergatory and happy families

Oh, we won′t have a say
We won′t have a say, no
We won′t have a say
Won′t have a say
Oh they′ll have a way
They′ll find a way to make you pay
And to make you toe the line
Sever the ties
Oh, you′re so clever
But you′re not very nice
So fuck forever
If you don′t mind
Fuck forever
If you don′t mind

They, they′ll find a way
Find a way to make you pay
And to make you toe the line
Sever the ties
I′m stuck forever
And that is your mind
Fuck forever
I′m out of your mind
Fuck forever
I′m out of your mind

Текст песни:

Ah, tell me
What did I dream?
Cause nothing′s as it seems
On the way back down, for me

What did I dream?
Cause nothing′s as it seems
On the way back round, for me

Nothing′s gonna keep me from my
What did I dream?
No one′s gonna keep me from my
What did I dream?

We′re on the one road
Maybe the wrong road
It′s the road to fuck knows where
We′re on the one road
Maybe the wrong road
But we′re together now so I don′t care

Nothing′s gonna keep me from my
What did I dream?
No one′s gonna keep me from my
No one′ll fucking keep me from my
No one′s gonna keep me from my
What did I dream?

And if I confide in you today
I know you don′t believe a single word I say
I found solace in the flood
And everybody knew that I would
Cause I′m alright
And there′s a slight crack in my chimney

So tell me
What did I dream? (x3)
Nothing′s as it seems
On the way back round for me

What did I? (x3)
What did I dream?

Текст песни:

You have always thinking of her
You′re in love and you don′t know what to say
But I saw her at the fair and she feels the same way
She was married by the merry-go-round

The merry-go-round
How merrily we go round
How merrily we go round
The merry-go-round

He was the first one of the day
He was the last one of the night
Oh hold me tight, hold me tight
They said you were wrongened
But I can see in your eyes
How you are gentle and wise
And you had the good stuff
Oh there′s a parade of girls outside
That boy′s so shy
Why′d you punch out his lights?

He was the first one of the day
He was the last one of the night
Oh mop it up, she′ll be alright
Mop it up, she′ll be alright
There′s a parade on the hall outside
Come on and feel the air outside

Текст песни:

Oh Paddy put the pipe down
If you got the right sound
If it′s not the right sound
Neither am I, oh my oh my

Do your songs
Work out a fairer way
If it comes undone
Just paper over the cracks
And there ain′t no turning back

Oh on The Sun
They make you out to be a tearaway
Comes undone
Ahh I just smoked a matt
And they want the money back

Ah put the pipe down
If you got the right sound
If it′s the right sound
Oh my, oh my

Do your songs
Work out a fairer way
Can you play no fun
Oh what you think of that
Cause they wanted but...

You better pipe down
You got the right sound
Put the pipe down
Oh my, oh my, oh my

Na na-na na-na...

Oh Paddy put the pipe down
If you got the right sound
If it′s not the right sound
Neither am I, oh my oh my

Oh Paddy put the pipe down
If you got the right sound
If it′s the right sound
Oh my, oh my, oh my

Текст песни:

Paddy put the Pipe Down
If you′ve got the right sound
And if you′re not alright now (that′s ok)
Neither am I, oh my, oh my

Do your songs, without a peer my friend
If it comes undone, paper over all the cracks
And there ain′t no turning back
Oh The Sun, they make you out to be a tearaway
They got it all wrong
But you′ve gotta give up crack
Or else they′ll want their money back

Oh put your Pipe Down
If you′ve got the right sound
And if you′re not alright now (that′s ok)
Neither am I, oh my, oh my

Oh, you are not a tearaway
Can you play your songs?
Cause if you can′t do that
Then they′ll never cut you slack

Put the Pipe Down
Oh put your Pipe Down
If you′ve got the right sound
And if you′re not alright now (that′s ok)
Neither am I, oh my, oh my

Do your sums,
Work out a fairer way
Cause if you give up smack
Then we will all follow you back

Paddy put the Pipe Down
Oh put your Pipe Down
If you′ve got the right sound
And if you′re not alright now (that′s ok)
Neither am I, oh my, oh my

Paddy put your Pipe Down
If you′ve got the right sounds
And if you′re not alright now (that′s ok)
Neither am I, oh my, oh my
