This Is A Low
Tracy Jacks
 
  • (Tracy Jacks) works in civil service
  • (Tracy Jacks) it's steady employment
  • (Tracy Jacks) it's a golfing fanatic
  • (Tracy Jacks) but his put is erratic
  • (Tracy Jacks) saw a Harley Street doctor
  • (Tracy Jacks) who prescribed healthy living
  • (Tracy Jacks) but he's getting past forty
  • (Tracy Jacks) and all the seams are splitting
  • EVERYDAY HE GOT CLOSER
  • HE KNEW IN HIS HEART HE WAS OVER
  • I'D LOVE TO STAY HERE AND BE NORMAL
  • BUT IT'S JUST SO OVERRATED
  • (Tracy Jacks) left home without warning
  • (Tracy Jacks) at five in the morning
  • (Tracy Jacks) got on the first train to Walton
  • (Tracy Jacks) and stood on the seafront
  • (Tracy Jacks) threw his clothes in the water
  • (Tracy Jacks) and ran around naked
  • (Tracy Jacks) got stopped by the police
  • (Tracy Jacks) and escorted back home
  • EVERYDAY HE GOT CLOSER
  • HE KNEW IN HIS HEART HE WAS OVER
  • I'D LOVE TO STAY HERE AND BE NORMAL
  • BUT THEN IT'S JUST SO OVERRATED
  • Tracy Jacks
  • Tracy Jacks
  • Tracy Jacks
  • Tracy Jacks
  • And then it happened on a Tuesday morning
  • Tracy Jacks bulldozed down the house he lived in
  • Saying it's just so overrated
  • Tracy Jacks
  • Tracy Jacks
  • Tracy Jacks
  • Tracy Jacks
  • EVERYDAY HE GOT CLOSER
  • HE KNEW IN HIS HEART HE WAS OVER
  • I'D LOVE TO STAY HERE AND BE NORMAL
  • BUT IT WAS ALWAYS OVERRATED
Parklife
 
  • Confidence is a preference for the habitual voyeur of what is known as (parklife)
  • And morning soup can be avoided if you take a route straight through what is known as
  • (parklife)
  • John's got brewers droop he gets intimidated by the dirty pigeons
  • They love a bit of it (parklife)
  • Who's that gut lord marching... you should cut down on your porklife mate... get some
  • Exercise
  • [Chorus]
  • ALL THE PEOPLE
  • SO MANY PEOPLE
  • THEY ALL GO HAND IN HAND
  • HAND IN HAND THROUGH THEIR PARKLIFE
  • Know what I mean
  • I get up when I want except on Wednesdays when I get rudely awakened by the dustmen
  • (Parklife)
  • I put my trousers on, have a cup of tea and I think about leaving the house (parklife)
  • I feed the pigeons I sometimes feed the sparrows too it gives me a sense of enormous well
  • Being (parklife)
  • And then I'm happy for the rest of the day safe in the knowledge there will always be a bit
  • Of my heart devoted to it (parklife)
  • [Chorus]
  • Parklife (parklife)
  • Parklife (parklife)
  • It's got nothing to do with vorsprung durch technic you know
  • And it's not about you joggers who go round and round and round
  • Parklife (parklife)
  • [Chorus x 2]
Bank Holiday
 
  • Grandma has got new dentures
  • To eat the crust of pizza
  • Bee taken out by daughter
  • Because she thought she ought'a
  • The kids are eating snickers
  • Because they're so delicious
  • Then there's sticky fingers
  • And mother looses her knickers
  • [Chorus]
  • Bank holiday comes six times a year
  • Days of enjoyment to which everyone cheers
  • Bank holiday comes with six pack a beer
  • ...Then it's back to work A.G.A.I.N.
  • Bar-b-que is cooking
  • Sausages and chicken
  • The patio is Buzzing
  • The neighbours they are looking
  • John is down the fun pub
  • Drinking lots of larger
  • Girls and boys are on the game
  • All the high streets look the same
  • [Chorus]
  • Back to work A.G.A.I.N.
  • [chorus]
  • Bank holiday
Badhead
 
  • So far I've not really stayed in touch
  • Well you knew as much it's no surprise that today
  • I'll get up early too from a lack of anything to do
  • AND I MIGHT AS WELL JUST GRIN AND BEAR IT
  • BECAUSE IT'S NOT WORTH THE TROUBLE OF AN ARGUMENT
  • And you have not really stayed in touch
  • Well I knew as much it's no surprise that today
  • I get up for round two with nothing to do
  • Except get a touch of flu
  • AND I MIGHT AS WELL GRIN AND BEAR IT
  • BECAUSE IT'S NOT WORTH THE TROUBLE OF AN ARGUMENT
  • AND IN ANY CASE I'D RATHER WEAR IT
  • IT'S LIKE A BADHEAD IN THE MORNING
  • And I know
  • AND I MIGHT AS WELL GRIN AND BEAR IT
  • BECAUSE IT'S NOT WORTH THE TROUBLE OF AN ARGUMENT
  • AND IN ANY CASE I'D RATHER WEAR IT
  • IT'S LIKE A BADHEAD IN THE MORNING
  • [Repeat]
Far Out
 
  • I spy in the night sky don't I
  • Phoebe io e lara leda callisto sinope
  • Janus dione portia so many moons
  • Quiet in the sky at night hot in the milky way
  • Outside in
  • Vega capella hadar rigel barnard's star
  • Antares aldebaran altair wolf 359
  • Betelgeuse sun sun sun
To The End
 
  • All those dirty words
  • They make us look so dumb
  • Been drinking far too much
  • And neither of us mean what we say
  • [Chorus]
  • WELL YOU AND I
  • COLLAPSED IN LOVE
  • AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE MIGHT HAVE MADE IT, YES IT LOOKS LIKE WE'VE
  • MADE IT TO THE END
  • What happened to us
  • Soon it will be gone forever
  • Infatuated only with ourselves
  • And neither of us can think straight anymore
  • [Chorus x 2]
London Loves
 
  • A malady has taken him over
  • Coughing tar in his japanese motor
  • The lights are magic
  • And he feels lucky
  • And he's got money
  • Shoots like an arrow - oh
  • LONDON LOVES
  • THE MYSTERY OF A SPEEDING CAR
  • LONDON LOVES
  • THE MISERY OF A SPEEDING HEART
  • Its love u like, and everyone's at it
  • And words are cheap when the mind is elastic
  • He loves the violence
  • Keeps ticking over
  • So sleep together
  • Before today is sold forever
  • LONDON LOVES
  • THE WAY PEOPLE JUST FALL APART
  • LONDON LOVES
  • THE WAY YOU JUST DON'T STAND A CHANCE
  • LONDON LOVES
  • THE MYSTERY OF A SPEEDING CAR
  • O-OH O-OH O-OH O-OH
  • LONDON LOVES
  • THE MYSTERY OF A SPEEDING CAR
  • LONDON LOVES
  • THE MISERY OF A SPEEDING HEART
  • LONDON LOVES
  • THE MYSTERY
  • LONDON LOVES
  • THE WAY PEOPLE JUST FALL APART
  • LONDON LOVES
  • THE WAY WE JUST DON'T STAND A CHANCE
  • LONDON LOVES
  • A SPEEDING HEART
Clover Over Dover
 
  • I'm on the white cliffs of Dover
  • Thinking it over and over
  • But if I jump its all over
  • A cautionary tale for you
  • I'd like to roll in the clover
  • With you over and over
  • On the white cliffs of dover
  • And then I'd let you push me over
  • [Chorus]
  • AND IF THAT IS THE FACT THEN IN ACTUAL FACT IT'S NOT WHERE IT'S AT
  • AND IT'S OVER
  • AND IF THAT IS THE FACT THEN IN ACTUAL FACT IT'S NOT WHERE IT'S AT
  • AND IT'S OVER
  • YES IT IS
  • And now the bluebirds are over
  • Over the white cliffs of dover
  • So when you push me over
  • Don't bury me I'm not worth anything
  • [Chorus]
Magic America
 
  • Bill Barret has a simple dream
  • He calls it his plan B
  • Buildings in the sky and the air is sugar free
  • And everyone is very friendly
  • Plan B arrived on a holiday
  • Took a cab to the shopping malls
  • Bought and ate until he could do neither anymore
  • Then found love on channel 44
  • [Chorus]
  • LA LA LA LA LA HE WANTS TO GO TO MAGIC AMERICA
  • LA LA LA LA LA HE'D LIKE TO LIVE IN MAGIC AMERICA
  • WITH ALL THE MAGIC PEOPLE
  • Bill Barrett sent his postcards home
  • To everyone he'd ever known they read

  • From the people who care how you feel

  • With all the magic people[fade to end]

This Is A Low
 
  • And into the sea goes pretty England and me
  • Around the Bay of Biscay and back for tea
  • Hit traffic on the dogger bank
  • Up the Thames to find a taxi rank
  • Sail on by with the tide and go asleep
  • And the radio says
  • [Chorus]
  • THIS IS A LOW
  • BUT IT WON'T HURT YOU
  • WHEN YOU ARE ALONE IT WILL BE THERE WITH YOU
  • FINDING WAYS TO STAY SOLO
  • On the Tyne forth and Cramity
  • There's a low in the high forties
  • And Saturday's locked away on the pier
  • Not fast enough dear
  • On the Malin head, Blackpool looks blue and red
  • And the Queen, she's gone round the bend
  • Jumped off Land's End
  • And the radio says
  • [Chorus x 3]
