SEASON
Late summer you walked into my life
I remember the autumn, I remember that night
That smile on your face, the pale pale moon
All good times still left to come
I remember the autumn, I remember that night
That smile on your face, the pale pale moon
All good times still left to come
Awoke by a phone call one cold night
In my dream you had been going to die
I felt so scared that I was going to loose you
When I answered the phone I already knew
I cried bitter tears you had been taken your own life
Down the corridor to the bedroom
I sit there in silence all alone
Alone is all I'll ever be Except at night when you visit my dreams
It tears my mind I can't see you tomorrow.
JACK NAMES THE PLANETS
The next part is very important, like the name of your
song. We were very suprised that you called it...
Uhhh, "Jack Names The Planets", and not "Jack
Names The Planet New Phillip", 'Cause that's a good
name for a planet.
The center of the universe is planet "New Phillip".
We were walking, walking in two worlds
In the gardens of sunlight home
Bad children on the phone
Withheld me to withhold you
Said I'd kiss you if you want
You've got things back to front
I got a letter, I sent it back I didn't like It, what you had
Jack names the planets after you
When I turned you had gone away
So I didn't skip upon that day
Morose feeling, small mind
Don't touch it's face you might like its kind
Said I'd kiss you if you want
You've got things back to front
Don't mind your spelling, it ain't so bad
Things like that they never made me quite so mad as you
Jack names the planets after you
I wish you'd come back everythings ready for you
You are welcome if you plan to
You can come walking and you know where
You've got understand that you got to care
Said I'd kiss you if you want
You've got things back to front
My mother's dying I've got to go home
But there's more you wont be solely on your own
Jack names the planets after you
Don't Know
You said you were doing nothing
Call me up you're doing nothing
You never know what is happning
At all now
Pull the sofa over and watch the
Television glowing on into the night
All you said you were doing nothing
Phone me up you're doing nothing
You wanna go out and do something
You just don't know what is happning
Do you know
Walk into town and wonder about
And stop then wonder what you're doing
You're doing nothing nothing at all
You're just doing nothing
INTENSE THING
Now it's too late to be using my mind, yeah
To reason with you would be far too kind
It's all coming down like the dark on the town
The cold stings my tear stained face
So now it's all over,
It's much too late to say 'Oh no!'
I try not to echo everyone's dream, yeah
But they don't exist or so it seems, yeah
They just like inside of me, yeah
But it's too dark I can never ever see you
And now it's all over, it's much too late to say 'Oh no!'
Oh, she looked so lovely, standing on her own,
Oh, she looked so lovely, standing on her own,
She looked at me as she closed the door
A stare so cold, but what for?
I fell in love as she crossed the floor,
I need her now but she hated me more
And now it's all over, it's much too late to say 'Oh no!'
Oh, she looked so lovely, standing on her own,
Oh, she looked so lovely, standing on her own,
UNCLE PAT
I sent off this morning Down the road along the river
Which I take but once a year
My walk will take me by the shore Then inland for a
mile or more
From the cold sea spray
A small wood stands upon the hill An old house near it lies in ruins
Forgotten long ago
And here in a clearing, overgrown with moss and ivy
Is your lovely grave
At dusk I will make my way Along the lanes and through the fields
To where my cottage is
But before I step inside for bed I'll look up at the stars as we had
All those years ago
So here's for Uncle Pat
GET OUT
-Hey, you guys rock my world-
Get your money out for me,
If you get it all out you'll see,
You've got so much to give,
you've got so much to loose
It might seem a little unfair,
then you'll see that you cannot choose
Take a time out for me, Get it all out for me,
You've got so much to give,
you've got so much to loose
It might seem a little unfair,
so now you see you cannot choose
Get your money out for me,
If you get it all out you'll see,
You've got so much to give,
you've got so much to loose
It might seem a little unfair,
so then you'll see that you cannot choose
PETROL
The cars come up the drive, so many people inside,
Under the stars they smile, they want to invade my
home
I pace the darkened hall, try to consider it all
In the dull lamps glow and the truth is I don't know
The cars stop outside, they all stay inside
The house is drenched in light, but what have I done wrong
I quietly climb the stairs, I remember all the years,
I check everything is right I need to hurry-now
I've been preparing for days, I know exactly what to say
'No one will be around, no one will take me down'
They get back in the cars, and maybe they'll go home
But the things they'll never know, like where it is I go

DIFFERENT TODAY
He spent the week at his friend's house
It had been ages since they'd been in touch
The weekend passed in a drunken haze
It felt good, like the old days
I lied you're not so different today
Don't go so far away
And without you my life is boring Anyway
They went down to the station on Sunday
He felt sad as the train pulled away
He wished that it would never end
He knew he'd never see him again
Punk Boy
Who's that boy with the honey face,
Looks like he should be sedated
He's all smash and grab in his Adidas tags,
Wound up and agitated
and I bet he's not a real punk boy
Bet he's not a real punk boy,
Bet he's not a real punk boy!
Does your heart go boom when he walks in the room
Do rain clouds scatter and fall
Do you feel yourself sigh when he passes you by
Or do you grow a hundred feet tall
D'you go bang shang alang,
every time you see him
D'you go bang shang alang,
every time you're near him
D'you go bang shang alang,
every time you hear him
If you don't he's not a real punk boy
If you don't he's not a real punk boy
If you don't he's not a real punk boy at all!
Who's that boy with the ocean green eyes,
In Rough Trade every Saturday
Don't he look cute in his Eighties track suit
I wish I hadn't thrown mine away
And I bet he's not a real punk boy
Bet he's not a real punk boy,
Bet he's not a real punk boy at all
Do stars explode when he walks you home
On a cool and clear evening
D'you wanna put him on like your favourite song
Or never wanna hear him
D'you go bang shang alang,
every time you see him
D'you go bang shang alang,
every time you're near him
D'you go bang shang alang,
every time you hear him
If you don't he's not a real punk boy
If you don't he's not a real punk boy
If you don't he's not a real punk boy at all!
DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS
In the mid-day heat I gave a sigh
Cruisin' through the garden district,
I was out of my mind
The Star of India's in my hotel room
In a briefcase combination: 3, 2, 1 (which only I know)
And I've just seen my mentor, Dr. No
"California Sun" is on the radio, let's go
I just wanna reach the radio star
It's a satellite off Venus and it ain't too far
I was shooting up in my hotel room
When the phone started ringing - oh no
It was Dr. No,
he gave the password He said,
'Hey, man, haven't you heard?
and I said 'No'
'The world's been invaded by alien life forms
Meet me at the airport, we've got to get out
- let's go
I ran to the window and looked out,there were dead people lying all over the
streets man.Within two minutes I had all my stuff together. I jumped in my car and
was speeding down the highway past all the deserted cars. In five minutes I was at
the airport but there at the gates I saw what I suppose was one of these 'alien life
forms'. I pulled my bazooka out of its bag in the back of the car and blew it to hell.
As arrange Dr. No was waiting for me in the terminal. We got in his private jet
plane and took off, two hours later landing in Zaire, where we met up with Fu
Manchu, Hannibal Lecter, the Hooded Claw and all the rest of the gang. We
boarded the rocket and soon we were shooting off for the stars and as we
approached the space station I looked down and observed the earth, the US air
force being annihilated and swarms of nuclear weapons soaring through the
stratosphere destroying the earth - and I swear to God I laughed.
