Gunning Us Down
03:24

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!

Wake Up My Heart
03:46
|

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

I'm gonna go to university
I'm gonna get a loan not a bursary
I'm gonna get a credit card for Glastonbury
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm gonna go to university
I'm gonna get a first in hypocrisy
To understand this curse in democracy
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah)
Borrow, borrow, there's no tomorrow
A system with no wisdom is a prison full of sorrow
Borrow, borrow, there's no tomorrow
A system that won't listen is the prison of tomorrow
I'm gonna go to university, borrow loads of dough for eternity
Cause tomorrow's on the dole that's a certainty
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm gonna go to university
I'm gonna sow a seed with some poetry
To show this greedy system is a mercenary
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah)
Borrow, borrow, there's no tomorrow
A system with no wisdom is a prison full of sorrow
Borrow, borrow, there's no tomorrow
A system that won't listen is the prison of tomorrow
I'm gonna go to university, gonna get a first in psychology
To get some loony bird to come and flirt with me
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm gonna go to university, I'm gonna study anthropology
To see if Charlie Darwin was a chimpanzee
(Yeah, yeah, yeah. oh yeah)
Borrow, borrow, there's no tomorrow
A system with no wisdom is a prison full of sorrow
Borrow, borrow, there's no tomorrow
A system that won't listen is the prison of tomorrow
I won't need to go to university
When I leave this crazy World of hypocrisy
Cause I'm gonna rock my soul for eternity
I'm gonna rock my soul for eternity
I'm gonna rock my soul for eternity
I'm gonna rock my soul for eternity

Top Shelf Lily

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
