Run! The Kings have flown The castle's been burned The fools have grown The rascal's returned Eden's now a desert Where the rattlesnake's run With battle crazed camera's Gunning everything down They're gunning us down They're gunning us down They're gunning us, they're gunning us, they're gunning us down They're gunning us down with technology's gun They're running us, they're running us right out of this town Bureaucracy's come Democracy's gone Hypocrisy's sitting on, Philosophy's throne They're gunning us down with the robot gun And now we're running around With nowhere to run They're gunning us down They're gunning us down They're gunning us, they're gunning us, they're gunning us down They're gunning us down with technology's gun They're running us, they're running us right out of this town Headless chickens Legless lemmings You can't get ahead When it's locked in prison Who's got freedom Who's got wisdom When they just won't listen to the bells of reason They're gunning us down They're gunning us down They're gunning us, they're gunning us, they're gunning us down They're gunning us down with technology's gun They're running us, they're running us right out of this town Run!

I came into your World with a heart full of love I got a raw deal, I was never enough The more I gave out, the less I got Like a slave enslaved in a labour of love (cold love, cold love) When love is hiding, it can't be found When no body's smiling cause no body's around The rainbow always reigns, over and below It may sooth your pain, when your lover is slow (so slow, so slow) Wake up my heart, break through my mask Make a new start, lets break away from the past Wake up my heart, break through my mask Make a new start, lets break away from the past Then outta the blue, you gave me a smile When some truth in you, set fire to denial, My love for you is sleeping, like a pearl in disguise, A jewel that's so cruel, that it burns me inside (inside, inside) Wake up my heart, break through my mask Make a new start, lets break away from the past Wake up my heart, break through my mask Make a new start, lets break away from the past Love is so fragile, yet strong in a lie, Always on trial because inside is so shy, A head on the outside is so hard to love, When a heart on the inside has run outta luck Wake up my heart, break through my mask Make a new start, lets break away from the past Wake up my heart, break through my mask Make a new start, lets break away from the past

Top Shelf Lily have you lost yourself? On the top shelf with your low self worth? What about your father, your mother and brother? And all the little children that see you on the cover? Top Shelf Lily I see you everywhere In a low class World that is souless and bare Yesterdays edition broke my heart When I thought I saw my sister in your photograph You don't turn me on, when you've got nothing on You don't turn me on, you don't turn me on You don't turn me on when you've got nothing on You don't turn me on, you don't turn me on You don't turn me on, when you've got nothing on Top Shelf Lily you gotta love yourself Get off that shelf, rediscover yourself You could be my baby or somebody's mother You could be my lady if you wanna be my lover Well? But you don't turn me on, when you've got nothing on You don't turn me on, you don't turn me on You don't turn me on when you've got nothing on You don't turn me on, you don't turn me on You don't turn me on, when you've got nothing on Then you'll turn me on Cos that's where you belong Displaying your spirit like a magic wand Cos that's the magic that turns me on But you don't turn me on, when you've got nothing on You don't turn me on, you don't turn me on You don't turn me on when you've got nothing on You don't turn me on, you don't turn me on You don't turn me on when you've got nothing on No you don't turn me on when you've got nothing on No you don't turn me on when you've got nothing on When you've got nothing on When you've got nothing on

Everyone's An Addict by The Munroes Addicted to wars, addicted to bombs Addicted to laws, that cheat everyone Addicted to drink, addicted to drugs Addicted to shrinks, to give me some love Addicted to crack, addicted to pain Addicted to crack pots, on crack cocaine Addicted to cars and flying on planes, Addicted to the credit cards, to buy the champagne Is everyone an addict of some description? Looking for the magic in the wrong direction Is everyone an addict of some description? Thinking that their habit is not an addiction Addicted to music, without any tunes Addicted to lyrics, where nothing is new Addicted to mirrors, addicted to figures She thinks she's getting fatter, when in fact she's getting thinner Addicted to films, addicted to news Addicted to papers, of nonsense and nudes Addicted to plastic all over the place You look fantastic with that mask on your face Is everyone an addict of some description? Looking for the magic in the wrong direction Is everyone an addict of some description? Thinking that their habit is not an addiction A.D.D.I.C.T I feel free, when I can't feel me A.D.D.I.C.T I'm looking for the magic that's hiding in me A.D.D.I.C.T I'm not an addict, that's a tragic disease So give it to me now, give it to me now Give it to me, give it to me Give it to me now, to me now, to me now

about

'Out Of The Trap' was influenced musically by British Punk and lyrically by Ray Davies of The Kinks and Bob Dylan. It was recorded in a studio somewhere near London Bridge in South London and was produced by Ben Jones.

The star of the cover photo is 'Mo', sitting outside of Tommy Flynns in Camden Town, London, scene of the first ever Munroes gig. The photo was taken by Dan Entwistle, a student living in the flat next door.
