Can’t Stop
Hey there world it's another day
Tons to do, can't get lead astray
Well that's alright, that's ok
If I don't work then I don't get paid
But Game of Thrones is on the VOD
sitting there winking up at me
Well What do you think, what do you say
Should I watch or baby should I stay
can't stop
You can never stand still
Don't stop
Or you'll be sliding downhill
I won't stop
Can only eat what I kill
Can't stop
But then maybe I will
Working hard in the studio
Playing songs is the way to go
Well that's alright, that's ok
If I don't write there'll be no songs to play
But Mauro's putting on a show tonight
Everyone's going it'll be alright
Well What do you think, what do you say
Should I go or baby should I stay
Chorus
Oh, the party's in full swing
And life's for living
Don't fight it, just give in
no misgivings -please
Lead me into sin
Temptation's what I crave
Before I hit the grave
Montevideo
I'm leaving rehab till another day
There's too much fun going on around anyway
They never sleep as far as I can see
They're mixing cocktails and they're naming them after me
Don't need much money cos the drinks are free
Hey everybody they're on me
Clash City Rockers is the only place I wanna be
Hey Montevideo Oh oh oh o
Hey Montevideo Yeah yeah
Hey Montevideo
You'll be the end of me
I should've been in bed hours ago
where the time goes when your having fun I don't know
My head is dizzy and my knees are weak
Its getting light outside but its too early to sleep
They all go crazy when the sun goes down
Who needs the daylight anyway
There's only one thing on my mind and I've gotta say
And now I'm half a world away
Telling myself going back there one day
Yeah I'm half a world away.........
What can I say
Going one day
Going to stay

C’est La Vie
Shit happens, that’s the way it goes
Life’s a mother, everybody knows
Some you win and, some you know you’ll lose
No use complaining, no point in singing the blues
Ooh sha la la lee, C’est la vie
Ooh sha la la lee, C’est la vie
What will be will be, C’est la vie
Ooh sha la la lee, C’est la vie
Don’t worry, don’t feel let down
There’ll be another, any minute now
What’s it matter, if the world’s a bitch
When life’s in tatters, let’s all act rich
Ooh sha la la lee, ……
No point acting like Victor Meldrew on a bad day
No point looking like a bulldog chewing on a wasp
No point being like that all grumpy and uptight
Ahh Ahh You know I’m right

Baby Doll
Saw you on your way just the other day
Looked you in the eye you looked away
Caught you on my phone like a bird of prey
When I looked again you'd run away
And I said hey there baby doll
I'm your man
I can save your life
Yes I can
Hey there baby doll
I'm your man
I can take your life
Yes I can
Walking through the town searching high and low
Looking in the bars like a hooded black crow
Have you seen this girl I wanna know
Have you seen my latest Marylyn Monroe
And I said hey there baby doll….
It could be so nice
It could be so damn exciting
You can make your choice
And I'll go either which way you wanna go
Heaven here with me or hell down below

Let's Skip to the Good Bit
Sometimes there are days I can do no wrong
Everything is great and we get along
Then there are the days when I'm quite the opposite
All I do is selfish, vain and incompetent
Only trouble is I can't tell which is which
Baffled and bewildered I stumble and twitch
Never knowing whether I'll be good as gold
Or cast out in the dog house begging:
Let's skip to the good bit
Let's skip to the spot where you think I'm great
Let's skip to the good bit honey
Let's skip to the part where I'm just first rate
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Some days it's all cool and I'm good as gold
She tells me I'm an angel, dinner doesn't get cold
other days I'm hopeless and it's thrown to the dog
Who can't believe his luck, grabs my chop and runs off
So hungry and confused I retire to my den
To weather out the storm and live to breathe again
Try to make sense of all this Venus and Mars stuff
But all that comes into my mind is
Chorus
I need to buy a gizmo that reads the female mind
A special kind of Kindle designed to save mankind
A one eyed wizard able to lead all of us men
Away from here: the valley of the blind
Thinkin
Well I’ve been thinking
Thinkin that I’d better get better
Better at bein a bit better
Whenever, She needs me
And I’ve been thinking
Thinking bout writing her a letter
Writing her a letter just to let her
Know forever that I care
Thinkin bout all the times I wasn’t there
Thinkin bout all the times I didn’t care
Thinkin bout all the times I was unfair
Times I vanished in thin air
Disappeared to God knows where
And I’ve been thinking
Thinking bout maybe just quittin
Quitin my lying and drinkin
And thinking about her
Well I’ve been thinking
Thinking bout her and maybe whether
whether we’ll just talk about the weather
or whether she’ll keep me
And maybe whether I’ll be better than I’ve been
Oh yeah whether I’ll be better when she needs me

Just Because You’re Paranoid (Reid)
The man on the phone says, “How are you today?”
I don't reply but he goes on anyway
Says I need to let him fix a bug on my Mac
I ask him how he knows it's on the blink
He says, “Don't worry sir. No need to think”
Let him on and he'll make my box of tricks purr
Just because you're paranoid
It don't mean they won't get you
And just because you're crazy
It don't mean it's not true
Picked up an email that can't be right
A man in Leotho says my future's bright
£50 million pounds is mine today if I claim
He needs to verify my identity
Send him an admin fee, but do it quickly
“Really easy sir”, to miss it would be a shame
Just because you're paranoid
Don't mean you should tag along
And just because your schizoid
It don't mean you're both wrong

Rolling On
It was another age
Beatles on TV
Football in the street
All my friends and me
We Played there all day long
We were all in clover
Nothing could go wrong
Time just rolling on
Well a small town's cool
Till you reach 16
Till the sirens call
From a brighter scene
So I packed my bags
and I moved to London
For a bright new dawn
Time just rolling on
Well I found a job
In a factory
Where I made some friends
Played guitar like me
and we formed a band
We were all in clover
Nothing could go wrong
Time just rolling on
But life moves on
New things become important
New Horizons call
To spur you on
Busy making plans for the future
While time keeps rolling on
So I'm sitting here
looking back on life
my daughter's all grown up
Still got a lovely wife
And Everything’s just fine
Everything’s in Clover
When all is said and done
Time's just rolling on
When all is said and done
Time's just rolling on
Bombs Away
There's a thing we like to do
Every time there's trouble
Based upon the view
You can't have too much Rubble
So why can't we do it?
Everybody's doing it
Because it never works
Is no reason to eschew it
And we say
Oo oo Bombs away
Damn the consequences
Oo oo Bombs away
Let's go crazy
Well we tried it once before
With dublya in the White House
Now we're up for more
Dying to let the dogs out
So why can't we do it?
Everybody's doing it
let's light the fireworks
Stand back and enjoy it
Chorus
And yeah. Here we go again
itching to join in
Ready for the starters gun once more
Chorus
Oo oo Bombs away
No more mending fences
Oo oo Bombs away
And Don't forget the navy

Kelly’s Gone Insane
They just don’t know
Why she felt just so
She got to work at the record store
Like any other day
He said hello then she blew his head away
Kelly’s gone insane
Kelly’s gone insane
Kelly’s gone insane
There was no reason or rhyme
Why she committed that crime
Now she’s gotta do time
She just don’t know
Why they treat her so
Everyday at the record store
They all act the same
They say hello but don’t wanna know her name
She ain’t gonna say why
She had it in for that guy
She’ll just sit here all night

C’mon Josephine (Reid/Matheson)
Sorry baby
But I’ve got to dash
I’m doin’ this, I’m signing that
Tryin’ to make some cash
So don’t you cry babe
Ditch that violin
Friday night ‘bout twelve o’clock
I’ve got you penciled in
C’mon Josephine
C’mon Josephine
Girl you’re out of sight
Just not tonight
I’m sorry Josie
No need to wonder why
I got previous, it ain’t devious
But I’ve just got to fly
Gotta a thousand obligations
Gotta make them shekels shine
Gotta walk them halls, got conference calls
Gotta sign them dotted lines
Chorus
Now it’s after midnight
Underneath your balcony
I’m staring up my buttercup
Won’t you come see me
I’ll wait five more minutes
Smoke one more cigarette
Hey wait, am I getting you
Mixed up with Juliette
C’mon Josephine
C’mon Josephine
Girl you’re out of sight
How ‘bout tonight

Wasting Time
Saturday, lie in bed
Calm and peaceful, in my head
PA's on, the radio
No one's bugging me, take it slow
Feeling happy, so laid back
The weekend's here, and that's a fact
Feeling lucky, today’s all mine
I've even thought of, a word that rhymes
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
I'm just wasting time
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Always happy wasting time
Saturday, half past ten
Laugh and joking, with my friends
Vodka shots, roll a few
Watching both of you, look askew
Feeling happy, so laid back
If I was Irish, this'd be the craic
Feeling lucky, wild and free
Completely blasted, lucky me
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
I'm just wasting time
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Always happy wasting time
And I said, Oh the worlds all mine
Cracking jokes, drinking wine
Laugh out loud, all the time
And all my cares can hang and damn well wait outside

That’s Just The Way It Is
Jed's a dancing guy it's what he does
On the street and waiting for the bus
He's there
It's just the way it is
And when Jed goes dancing he's a happy guy
No one’s frowning as he skips by
A soft shoe shuffle makes the sun shine in the sky
That's just the way it is
Just the way it is
He says the people living in his town
Hurt a lot they're always feeling down
At heel
It's just the way it is
now that he goes dancing all he sees are smiles
people laughing mile after mile
It maybe foolish but for him it's all worthwhile
That's just the way it is
Just the way it is
Jed says he owes it to the Lord above
Who saved his mum so Jed could tell her of
his love
That's the the way it is
So he's binned the drugs, mended all his ways
Left prison behind, these are better days
Now he's dancing and that's what he'll do always
That's the way it is
Just the way it is
Yeah the way it is
Just the way it is
77
Wardour Street on Monday Night
He's walking quick and feeling alright
He's buzzing and hopes he might
Get lucky with you
The Marquee' s hotter than hell
Its rammed and just to speak you must yell
He doesn't want to break the spell
And so acts cool
Seventy Seven
Teenage Heaven
Seventy Seven
He’s there with You
Seventy Seven
Better than Ever
Seventy Seven
Its all he wants to do
Later and the Speakeasy's full
Everybody's looking real cool
He's hoping he won't be a fool
So he’ll get lucky with you
Lemmy's on the fruit machine
Speeding on more than caffeine
The boy’s trying to blend in the scene
and impress you too
Its 3 am the lights show up the grime
Its time to head out on the street
She turns to him his heart beats overtime
She says will you come back with me?

One Night in Rio
Rio de Janeiro is one hell of a sight
The hills start to sparkle as the day turns to night
And high up in the heavens
Jesus keeps a watchful eye
For all the good it does him
No one cares I wonder why
Copacabana where the rich people play
Everything's for sale if you've money to pay
But high in the favelas
Poor folk try to make ends meet
For all the good it does them
History’s got them already beat
Was there we took a taxi to the rough end of town
Had to pay the driver more to take us around
To a bar in a street where the buildings come tumbling down
So we're living it up in a bomb site city
Watching all the girls looking oh so pretty
Yeah, and we're feeling alright
So we'll all get drunk tonight
Sat with a cocktail at a table outside
Laughing and joking as the people arrived
But somewhere in the wreckage
Something opened up its eyes
Fifty teenagers looking for someone rich to fry
They lined up on the street across from where we were sat
Eyes glaring, arms folded primed to attack
Liz said lets leg it
Run for our lives
I said you're in your high heels
Let’s stay and prepare to die
Was then a bald guy headed over the street
Laughing and joking said it’s nice to meet
To the teenage zombies who got bored
And went elsewhere to eat
So we're living it up in a bomb site city
Watching all the girls looking oh so pretty
Yeah, and we're still alive
So lets all get drunk tonight
Well the speakers blew up before the band could play
But the people kept on partying any way
It didn't seem to matter
As the sun rose on another day
So we're living it up in a bomb site city
Watching all the girls looking oh so pretty
Yeah, we were so alive
And we all got drunk that night
Yeah we all got drunk alright
Yeah we’ll all get drunk tonight
