[Arksided]

You better make your face up with your favorite disguise
With your button down lips and your roller blind eyes
With your empty smile and your hungry heart
Feel the bile rising from your guilty past
With your nerves in tatters as the cockleshell shatters
And the hammers batter down your door
You better run

Run, run, run, run

[mushroom25]

Runaway boys

Your hair's all greasy and you feel like a slob
You're only fifteen and you can't get a job
Run into the lunchette and shoot a few games
Who's the lonely boy, man it's always the same
Steal a couple of bucks to buy a new toy
Slip into the alley with the runaway boys

Runaway boys

Running faster, faster all the time
You're under age and God knows that's a crime

Get kicked out for coming home at dawn
Your Mum and Dad cursed the day you were born
Throw your clothes into a duffel bag
Shouting and slam the door
At home it's a drag.....

Well, little Judy's trying to watch 'Top of the Pops'

But mum and dad are fighting, don't they ever stop

She takes up her coat and walks down to the street

It's cold on that road but it's got that home beat

Deep down in her pocket she finds 50p

Hey, is that any way for a young girl to be?

I'm gonna get out of school, work in some factory

Work all the hours God gave me, get myself a little easy money

Judy Teen, the queen of the scene, she's rag doll amore
Verbal slang, American twang, you dare not ignore
In from New York, prompted her to talk of superballs
Judy Teen grew sick of the scene, just bragging to fools

She took us on a carousel
She made us smile and oh, how we laughed
Together riding on a crest it was swell
We stole her face and oh, how we laughed
She made us happy

Cockney Rebel

[Arksided]

Are teenage dreams so hard to beat?
Everytime she walks down the street
Another girl in the neighbourhood
Wish she was mine, she looks so good

I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night

Who lives in a house like this?
Who lives in a house like this?

In number 18 there lives a big butch queen
He's bigger than Tyson
And he's twice as mean
In 666 there lives a Mr Miller
He's our local vicar
And a serial killer

Oh if you find the time
Please come and stay a while
In my beautiful neighbourhood
My neighbourhood
My-my-my beautiful neighbourhood
My neighbourhood
My-my-my beautiful neighbourhood

Who lives in a house like this?
Who lives here man?
Who lives in a house like this?

Space

[maggiebee]

Father wears his Sunday best
Mother's tired, she needs a rest
The kids are playing up downstairs
Sister's sighing in her sleep (ah)
Brother's got a date to keep, he can't hang around

Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our

Our house, it has a crowd
There's always something happening
And it's usually quite loud
Our mum she's so house-proud
Nothing ever slows her down and a mess is not allowed

Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our (something tells you that you've got to move away from it)

Madness

(Who's in the house?) (Hip-house)
(Who-who-who's in the house?) (Hip-house)
(Who's in the house?) (Hip-house)
(Who-who-who's in the house?) (Hip-house) (Who's in the house?)

Get up and move, don't answer
I'm the rapper, now you're the dancer
Got to show y'all how it's done
Get on the freak, you wanna have fun?

Wait, I gotta tell you something
Without Merlin, Britney, nothing
Beatmasters stand to attention
Hip-house is your invention

Who's in the house? (Who-who-who's in the house?) (Hip-house)

The Beatmasters

(the rapper on this track - Merlin - was a convicted burglar..... 🤣

[Arksided]

Neighbours
everybody needs good neighbours

Just a friendly wave each morning
helps to make a better day

Neighbours need to get to know each other
Next door is only a footstep away

 

Sorry... 😏

[Arksided]

the rapper on this track - Merlin - was a convicted burglar.

So He wasn't any good at that either.

[mushroom25]

In my mind I know you're gone
But my heart keeps holding on
To the memories of those happy times
To the love that once was mine
Though we're far apart

You're always in my heart
There's a ghost in my house
I can't hide
(Ghost in my house)
From the ghost of your love that's inside

You're still such a part of me
(Ghost in my house)
Still so deep in the heart of me
(Ghost in my house)

I just keep hearing your footsteps on the stairs
When I know there's no-one there
Every day I love you more
So much more than the day before....

Holland/Dozier/Holland, performed by R Dean Taylor

[Arksided]

When you hear a sound
That you just can't place
Feel something move
That you just can't trace
When something sits
On the end of your bed
Don't turn around
When you hear me tread

I'm the invisible man, I'm the invisible man
Incredible how you can
See right through me
I'm the invisible man, I'm the invisible man
It's criminal how I can
See right through you

👑

[mushroom25]

You've got me so confused
And there's words I could use
But I'm afraid to say them
I feel I've been had and I'm boiling mad
Still I can't live without you
You don't have the time
And you won't spend a dime
Not even to call me
Oh, you don't know I exist
And I wouldn't be missed
If I had the nerve to quit you

Invisible
I feel like I'm invisible
You treat me like I'm not really there
And you don't really care
I know this romance
It ain't going nowhere
 

Dozier, performed by Alison Moyet

[Arksided]

It's dark all day and it glows all night
Factory smoke and acetylene light
I face the day with my head caved in
Looking like something that the cat brought in

There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
That gives us hope when the whole day's done

🚓

[mushroom25]

Another industrial ugly morning
The factory belches filth into the sky
He walks unhindered through the picket lines today

He doesn't think to wonder why
The secretaries pout and preen like cheap tarts in a red light street
But all he ever thinks to do is watch

And every single meeting with his so called superior
Is a humiliating kick in the crotch
Many miles away
Something crawls to the surface
Of a dark Scottish loch.....

Also the 👮

[maggiebee]

I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall

Dirty old town
Dirty old town

Clouds are drifting across the moon
Cats are prowling on their beat
Spring's a girl from the streets at night

Dirty old town
Dirty old town

I heard a siren from the docks
Saw a train set the night on fire
I smelled the spring on the smoky wind

Dirty old town
Dirty old town

The Pogues

[mushroom25]

Grandad takes me fishin’ on a Saturday,
Me and Grandad’s mates.
Grandad brings me maggots, pink and yellow ones,
And me hooks and weights.
We fish all day come rain or shine
On the banks of the old canal;
Sometimes we say nowt,
Other days we chat away,
‘Cos me and Grandad’s pals.

Grandad takes me walking with his little dog,
He calls her Gyp.
We go to the pub and Grandad has a pint of grog,
Gives me a sip.
He says he drinks beer ‘cos his legs are stiff
And it oils them and makes them supple;
Sometimes I think it works too well
‘Cos it doesn’t half make him wobble......

The plane touched down in Dublin-town
Straight to the pub, and I knocked one down
Fell into the Liffey and I almost drowned
Had to go back to the pub

Well it's two more whiskeys, one more jar!
Somebody call for a taxi car
Well left me passport on the bar
Had to go back to the pub

So here's to the malt and here's to the hop
Here's to the dram and here's to the drop
Here's to knowing when not to stop
When we're in the pub

Gaelic Storm

[mushroom25]

Come on come on
Hurry up Harry come on
Come on come on
Hurry up Harry come on
We're going down the pub
We're going down the pub

Now listen here Harry
If we're going down the pub
You'd better tell your mum and dad
And finish up your grub
I wish you'd listen to me
No, I don't want a cup of tea

Come on come on
Hurry up Harry come on.....

[Hazlinny]

I'm just wild about Harry
And Harry's wild about me!
The heav'nly blisses of his kisses
Fills me with ecstasy!

He's sweet just like chocolate candy
Or like the honey from the bee
Oh, I'm just wild about Harry
And he's just wild about me
