You Make Me Melt
05:35
|
|||
|
You make me melt, my legs go weak and it's hard to speak. And if you, if you knew how I felt, would you be there too, like I want you to. Should I make the decision? Or do I play it cool? Cos if I caused a division, it might upset us all...
You make me melt, like a candle's flame, do you feel the same?....

This is a tale of moths, and how they can be stopped, from eating all the cloths. There was a man they say, who killed them mothly with his spray, killing them mothly, with his spray, killing them, mothly, with his spray, killing them... bring down Doom, upon their souls, fill their wings, full of holes... the taste in my mouth is bitter, but the good thing is they can no longer flitter...

Don't Speak Too Soon

|
Don't speak too soon, or a little pin might burst your balloon, too soon, you can change your mind and change your tune, and when you were flying high, you now drop from the sky. It's all going so well, the weather's warm and you're acting cool, you're on top of the world, can't drop down no way to stop...

Hands Of The Brewery
05:47
|
|||
|
I work hard every day, to get my full week's pay, it may go straight into the hands of The Brewery. At weekends I go out, and I push the jug about, push it straight back into the hands of The Brewery. And with the exercise I get, I put weight on my chin and belly, and it's massaged by the hands of The Brewery. I have so many different friends, I need to go out each night of the week, all my my money goes into the hands, of The Brewery. I need to be seen in all the best places, drinking beer with whisky chasers, chased straight into the hands, of The Brewery. And with the wages that I get, I haven't bought my freedom yet, my freedom from the hands, of The Brewery. I'll always be a slave, to The Brewery...

Sometimes you do drive me crazy, like an aeroplane. Sometimes you go up, and then you go down again... sometimes I read you better, than I do the signs... but I need a glove, I need a glove, for my real hot love...

Back In Blighty
04:53
|
|||
|
II have landed with a bump, my songs all dropped out in a clump, I pick them up from off the ground, and hope that no-one sees I'm down, it was 'last in, first out', my memory board has received a clout, I'm typical English, can't speak a word, trying desperately de comprehendre que j'ai entendu. I'm back in Blighty, back in Blighty, I'm back in Blighty with a bump...

It's a dog's life, yeah yeah yeah, it's not fair. It's a dog's life, yeah yeah yeah, I feel so square. It's a dog's life, it's almost a god's life, but I've lost the hare...
