Title
- Mis-shapes, mistakes, misfits.
- Raised on a diet of broken biscuits, oh we don't look the same as you
- We don't do the things you do, but we live around here too.
- Oh really.
- Mis-shapes, mistakes, misfits, we'd like to go to town but we can't risk it
- Oh 'cause they just want to keep us out.
- You could end up with a smash in the mouth just for standing out.
- Oh really. Brothers, sisters, can't you see?
- The future's owned by you and me.
- There won't be fighting in the street.
- They think they've got us beat, but revenge is going to be so sweet.
- We're making a move, we're making it now, we're coming out of the side-lines.
- Just put your hands up - it's a raid yeah:
- We want your homes, we want your lives,
- we want the things you won't allow us.
- We won't use guns, we won't use bombs
- We'll use the one thing we've got more of - that's our minds.
- Check your lucky numbers, that much money could drag you under, oh.
- What's the point of being rich if you can't think what to do with it?
- 'Cause you're so very thick.
- Oh we weren't supposed to be, we learnt too much at school now
- we can't help but see.
- That the future that you've got mapped out is nothing much to shout about.
- We're making a move, we're making it now,
- We're coming out of the side-lines.
- Just put your hands up - it's a raid.
- We want your homes, we want your lives,
- we want the things you won't allow us.
- We won't use guns, we won't use bombs
- We'll use the one thing we've got more of - that's our minds.
- Brothers, sisters, can't you see?
- The future's owned by you and me.
- There won't be fighting in the street.
- They think they've got us beat but revenge is going to be so sweet.
- We're making a move. We're making it now.
- We're coming out of the sidelines.
- Just put your hands up - it's a raid.
- We want your homes, we want your lives,
- we want the things you won't allow us.
- We won't use guns, we won't use bombs
- We'll use the one thing we've got more of - that'sour minds.
- And that's our minds. Yeah.
- When you raise your pencil skirt like a veil before my eyes
- Like the look upon his face as he's zipping up his flies.
- Oh I know that you're engaged to him.
- Oh but I know that you want something to play with baby.
- I'll be around when he's not in town, I'll show you how you're doing it wrong
- I really love it when you tell me to stop.
- Oh it's turning me on.
- You can tell me some lies about the good times that you've had
- But I've kissed your mother twice and now I'm working on your Dad.
- Oh baby, I'll be around when he's not in town
- I'll show you how you're doing it wrong
- I really love it when you tell me to stop.
- Oh it's turning me on.
- If you look under the bed then I can see my house from here
- So just lie against the wall and watch my conscience disappear.
- Now baby I'll be around when he's not in town
- I'll show you how you're doing it wrong
- I really love it when you tell me to stop.
- Oh it's turning me on.
- I only come here cause I know it makes you sad yeah.
- I only do it cause I know you know it's bad.
- Oh yes I know that it's ugly and it shouldn't be like that.
- Oh but oh it's turning me on.
- [Thanks to kayleigh_coombes@hotmail.com for correcting these lyrics]
- She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge
- She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College, that's where I caught her eye.
- She told me that her Dad was loaded
- I said in that case I'll have a rum and coke-cola.
- She said fine and in thirty seconds time she said, I want to live like common people
- I want to do whatever common people do, I want to sleep with common people
- I want to sleep with common people like you.
- Well what else could I do - I said I'll see what I can do.
- I took her to a supermarket
- I don't know why but I had to start it somewhere, so it started there.
- I said pretend you've got no money, she just laughed and said oh you're so funny.
- I said yeah? Well I can't see anyone else smiling in here.
- Are you sure you want to live like common people
- You want to see whatever common people see
- You want to sleep with common people,
- you want to sleep with common people like me.
- But she didn't understand, she just smiled and held my hand.
- Rent a flat above a shop, cut your hair and get a job.
- Smoke some fags and play some pool, pretend you never went to school.
- But still you'll never get it right
- 'cos when you're laid in bed at night watching roaches climb the wall
- If you call your Dad he could stop it all.
- You'll never live like common people
- You'll never do what common people do
- You'll never fail like common people
- You'll never watch your life slide out of view, and dance and drink and screw
- Because there's nothing else to do.
- Sing along with the common people, sing along and it might just get you thru'
- Laugh along with the common people
- Laugh along even though they're laughing at you and the stupid things that you do.
- Because you think that poor is cool.
- I want to live with common people, I want to live with common people[etc..]
- I spy a boy, I spy a girl.
- I spy the worst place in the world, in the whole world.
- Oh you didn't do bad, you made it out, I'm still stuck here oh but I'll get out.
- Oh yeah I'll get out.
- Can't you see a walks among you seeing through your pretty lives.
- Do you think I do these things for real?
- I do these things just so I survive. And you know I will survive.
- It may look to the untrained eye
- I'm sitting on my arse all day
- And I'm biding my time until I take you all on my Lords and Ladies
- I will prevail, I cannot fail.
- Cause I spy.
- Oh I've got your numbers taken notes and all the ways your minds work out.
- I've studied and your mind's just the same as mine except that you're just clever swines
- You never let masks slip, you never admit to it, you're never hurried.
- Oh no no no.
- And every night I hold my plan how I'll get my satisfaction
- How I will blow your paradise away away away ooh.
- Cause I spy.
- It's just like in the old days - I used to compose my own critical notices in my head.
- The crowd gasps at Cocker's masterful control of the bicycle
- Skilfully avoiding the dog turd next to the corner shop.
- Imagining a blue plaque above the place I first ever felt a girl's breasts,
- the whole 'nana.
- You've got to wait for the best.
- You see you should take me seriously. Very seriously indeed.
- Cause I've been sleeping with your wife for the past sixteen weeks
- Smoking your cigarettes, drinking your brandy,
- messing up the bed you chose together.
- And in all that time I just wanted you to come home unexpectedly one afternoon
- And catch us at it in the front room.
- You see I spy for a living and I specialise in revenge
- On taking the things I know will cause you pain.
- I can't help it, I was dragged up.
- My favourite park's a car park, grass is something you smoke,
- birds is something you shag.
- Take your year in Provence and shove it right up your arse.
- Your Ladbroke Grove looks turn me on, yeah.
- With your frightened eyes and roach burns under your eyes and addresses
- And thousands of tiny dryna-slides running a path,
- running a path to the corner of your eyes.
- And every night I hatch my plan, it's not a case of woman v man.
- It's more a case of haves against haven'ts and I just
- happen to have got what you need, just exactly what you need yeah.
- La la la la la la la la la la, in the midnight hour.
- La la la la la la la la la la, I will come to you, I will come to you
- I will take you from this sickness, dinner parties and champagne
- I'll hold your body and make it sing again. come on - sing again, let's sing again.
- Oh yeah, cause I spy, yes, I spy, ssss.
- I spy a boy and I spy a girl.
- I spy the chance to change the world, to change your world.
- Well we were born within one hour of each other.
- Our mothers said we could be sister and brother.
- Your name is Deborah, Deborah.
- It never suited ya.
- Oh they thought that when we grew up,
- We'd get married, and never split up.
- We never did it, although often I thought of it.
- Oh Deborah, do you recall?
- Your house was very small,
- With wood chip on the wall.
- When I came around to call,
- You didn't notice me at all.
- I said let's all meet up in the year 2000.
- Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown.
- Be there at 2 o'clock by the fountain down the road.
- I never knew that you'd get married.
- I would be living down here on my own on
- That damp and lonely Thursday years ago.
- You were the first girl at school to get breasts.
- Martyn said that yours were the best.
- The boys all loved you but I was a mess.
- I had to watch them trying to get you undressed.
- We were friends but that was as far as it went.
- I used to walk you home sometimes but it meant,
- Oh it meant nothing to you,
- Cos you were so popular.
- Deborah do you recall?
- Your house was very small,
- With woodchip on the wall.
- When I came around to call,
- You didn't notice me at all.
- I said let's all meet up in the year 2000.
- Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown.
- Be there at 2 o'clock by the fountain down the road.
- I never knew that you'd get married.
- I would be living down here on my own
- On that damp and lonely Thursday years ago.
- Oh yeah,
- Oh yeah.
- Ah do you recall?
- Your house was very small,
- With wood chip on the wall.
- When I came around to call,
- You didn't notice me at all.
- I said let's all meet up in the year 2000.
- Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown.
- Be there at 2 o'clock by the fountain down the road.
- I never knew that you'd get married.
- I would be living down here on my own,
- On that damp and lonely Thursday years ago.
- Oh what are you doing Sunday baby.
- Would you like to come and meet me maybe?
- You can even bring your baby.
- Ohhh ooh ooh. Ooh ooh ooh ooh.
- What are you doing Sunday baby.
- Would you like to come and meet me maby?
- You can even bring your baby.
- Ooh ooh oh. Ooh ooh ooh ooh. Ooh ooh ooh ooh. Oh.
- She doesn't have to go to work but she doesn't want to stay in bed
- Cause it's changed from something comfortable to something else instead.
- This bed has seen it all from the first time to the last
- The silences of now and the good times of the past
- And it only cost ten pounds from a shop just down the road
- Mind you that was seven years ago and things were very different then.
- It didn't get much rest at first, the headboard banging in the night yeah.
- The neighbours didn't dare complain and everything was going right.
- Now there's no need to complain 'cos it never makes a sound.
- Something beautiful left town and she doesn't even know its name.
- Now every night she plays the sad game ooh ah ah
- Called pretending nothing's going wrong oh, oh
- But she knows if this show was televised no one would watch it
- Not tonight but 7 years ago.
- La la la la la la la[etc]
- Now there's no need to complain
- 'cos it never makes a sound
- Something beautiful left town and she never even knew its name.
- She doesn't have to go to work but doesn't want to stay in bed
- 'cause it's changed from something wonderful to something else instead.
- I wrote the song two hours before we met.
- I didn't know your name or what you looked like yet.
- Oh I could have stayed at home and gone to bed.
- I could have gone to see a film instead.
- You might have changed your mind and seen your friends
- Life could have been very different then but something changed.
- Do you believe that there's someone up above?
- Does he have a timetable directing acts of love?
- Why did I write this song on that day?
- Why did you touch my hand and softly say.
- Stop asking questions that don't matter anyway.
- Just give us a kiss to celebrate here today something changed.
- When we woke up that morning we had no way of knowing
- That in a matter of hours we'd change the way we were going.
- Where would I be now if we'd never met.
- Would I be singing this song to someone else instead I dunno
- But like you said something changed.
- The room is cold,
- And has been like this for several months.
- If I close my eyes,
- I can visualise everything in it,
- Right down, right down to the broken handle on the third drawer down
- Of the dressing table.
- And the world outside this room,
- Has also assumed a familiar shape,
- The same events shuffeled in a slightly different order each day.
- Just like a modern shopping centre.
- And it's so cold - yeah it's so cold.
- It's so cold yeah, it's so cold.
- What is this feeling called love.
- Why me, why you, why here, why now.
- It doesn't make no sense no.
- It's not convenient no.
- It doesn't fit my plans no.
- It's something I don't understand oh.
- F.E.E.L.I.N.G. C.A. double L.E.D. L.O.V.E.
- Oh what is this thing that is happening to me.
- And as I'm standing across this room,
- I feel as if my whole life has been leading to this one moment.
- And as I touch your shoulder tonight,
- This room has become the centre of the entire universe.
- So what do I do? I've got a slightly sick feeling in my stomach,
- Like I'm standing on top of a very high building, oh yeah.
- All the stuff they tell you about in the movies,
- But this isn't chocolate boxes and roses.
- It's dirtier than that,
- Like some small animal that only comes out at night.
- And I see flashes of the shape of your breasts,
- And the curve of your belly,
- And I may have to sit down and catch my breath.
- Oh. What is this feeling called love.
- Why me, why you, why here.
- And why now.
- It doesn't make no sense no.
- It's not convenient no.
- It doesn't fit my plans,
- But I got that taste in my mouth again oh.
- F.E.E.L.I.N.G. C.A. double L.E.D. L.O.V.E.
- What is this thing that is happening to me
- F.E.E.L.I.N.G. C.A.double L.E.D. L.O.V.E.
- What is this thing that is happening to me.
- Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah.
- Why don't you close the door and shut the curtains
- 'cos you're not going anywhere.
- He's coming up the stairs and in a moment he'll want to see your underwear.
- You couldn't stop it now. There's no way to get out.
- He's standing far too near. How the hell did you get here.
- Semi-naked in somebody else's room.
- I'd give my whole life to see it.
- Just you stood there only in your underwear.
- If fashion is your trade then when you're naked I guess you must be unemployed yeah.
- Cos once it's underway there's no escaping the fact that you're a girl and he's a boy.
- You couldn't stop it now. There's no way to get out.
- He's standing much too near. How the hell did you get here.
- Semi-naked in someone else's room. I'd give my whole life to see it.
- Just you stood there only in your underwear.
- If you close your eyes and just remember that this is what you wanted last night.
- So why is it so hard for you to touch him.
- For you to go and give yourself to him?
- I couldn't stop it now.
- There's no way to get out.
- He's standing much too near and how the hell did you get here
- Semi-naked in somebody else's room. I'd give my whole life to see it.
- Just you stood there only in your underwear.
- Do, do do do do. Do, do. Do, do. Do, do, do, do, do. Do, do. Do, do.
- Oh yeh I want to see you. Want to see you only in your underwear. Har.

- Now you're so grown up, yeah you're oh oh oh oh oh so mature oh.
- Going out late from Monday, chuck up in the street on Sunday
- You don't want to live till Monday and have to do it all again.
- And you go aah ah ah[etc]
- I want a refund, I want a light
- I want a reason for all this night after night after night after night.
- Oh I know that it's stupid but I just can't seem to spend a night at home
- 'cos my friends left town and I'm here all alone ow.
- Oh yeah they say the past must die for the future to be born,
- in that case die little me - ooh.
- Stomach in, chest out, on your marks, get set, go.
- Now, now that you're free, what are you going to be?
- And who are you going to see?
- And where, where will you go and how will you know you didn't get it all wrong.
- Is this the light of a new day dawning? A future bright that you can walk in?
- No it's just another Monday morning.
- Do it all over again oh baby.
- La la la la la la,[etc]
- Do do do do do do[etc]
- Now if you can stand I would like to take you by the hand, yeah
- And go for a walk past people as they go to work.
- Oh, let's get out of this place before they tell us that we've just died.
- Move, move quick, you've gotta move.
- Come on it's through, come on it's time.
- Oh look at you, you,you're looking so confused just what did you lose?
- If you can make an order could you get me one.
- Two sugars would be great 'cos I'm fading fast and it's nearly dawn.
- If they knocked down this place, this place, it'd still look much better than you.
- Move, move quick, you've gotta move.
- Come on it's through, come on it's time.
- Oh look at you, you, you're looking so confused, what did you lose?
- Oh, it's ok it's just your mind.
- If we get through this alive I'll meet you next week, same place, same time.
- Oh move, move quick you've gotta move.
- Come on it's through, come on it's time.
- Oh look at you, you, you're looking so confused, what did you lose?
- That's what you get from clubbing it.
- You can't go home and go to bed because it hasn't worn off yet
- And now it's morning there's only one place we can go.
- It's around the corner in Soho where other broken people go. Let's go.
