1: Beetlebum
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beetlebum, what you done
She's a gun, now what you've done
Beetlebum, get nothing done
You beetlebum, just get numb
Now what you've done, beetlebum
And when she lets me slip away
She turns me on and all my violence's gone
Nothing is wrong, I just slip away and I am gone
Nothing is wrong, she turns me on
I just slip away and I am gone
Beetlebum, because you're young
She's a gun, now what you've done
Beetlebum, she'll suck your thumb
She'll make you come, cause she's your gun
Now what you've done, beetlebum
And when she lets me slip away
She turns me on and all my violence's gone
Nothing is wrong, I just slip away and I am gone
Nothing is wrong, she turns me on
I just slip away and I am gone
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it

2: Song 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I got my head checked by a jumbo jet
It wasn't easy, but nothing is, no
When I feel heavy metal
And I'm pins and I'm needles
Well I lie and I'm easy
All of the time but I'm never sure when I need you
Please, I need ya
I got my head done
When I was young
It's not my problem
It's not my problem
When I feel heavy metal
And I'm pins and I'm needles
Well I lie and I'm easy
All of the time but I'm never sure when I need you
Please, I need ya
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah

3: Country Sad Ballad Man
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, I found nowhere
It got to know me
Let me sleep all day
Spend the money
I haven't felt my legs
Since the summer
And I don't call my friends
Forgot their numbers
VIP 223
I had my chances
Or did they have me
Now stay up nights, watch TV
I'm country sad
I'm a ballad man
I'm on a comeback roll
Yeah, I'm a blizzard
And in my motor home
Sweat on my pillow all night
VIP 223
I've had my chances
And they had me
Now stay up nights, watch TV
I'm country sad
I'm a ballad man
VIP 223
I've had my chances
And they had me
Now stay up nights
Watch TV
I'm country sad
I'm a ballad man
I feel nothing cause I'm a ballad man
I don't have money cause I'm a ballad man
I will never give in cause I'm a ballad man
I make a perfect cause I'm a

4: M.O.R.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's automatic it's automatic
I need to unload need to unload
Under the pressure under the pressure
Gone middle of the road middle of the road
Fall into fashion fall into fashion
Fall out again fall out again
We stick together we stick together
Cause it never ends it never ends
Here comes a low I'm a boy and you're a girl
Here comes a high the only ones in the world
Here comes everything you and me we'll work it out
Here it comes, you, me, we'll work it out
Here comes tomorrow here comes tomorrow
One, two, three episodes three episodes
We stick together we stick together
Gone middle of the road middle of the road
Cause that's entertainment that's entertainment
It's the sound of the wheel sound of the wheel
It rolls on forever roll, roll forever
Yeah you know how it feels know how it feels
Here comes a low I'm a boy and you're a girl
Here comes a high the only ones in the world
Here comes everything like monkeys out in space
Here it comes we are members of the human race
Here comes a low I'm a boy and you're a girl
Here comes a high the only ones in the world
Here comes everything you and me we'll work it out
Here it comes, you, me, we'll work it out
It's automatic it's automatic
I need to unload need to unload
Under the pressure under the pressure
Gone middle of the road middle of the road
Here comes a low I'm a boy and you're a girl
Here comes a high the only ones in the world
Here comes everything like monkeys in outer space
Here it comes we are members of the human race
Here comes a low I'm a boy and you're a girl
Here comes a high the only ones in the world
Here comes everything you and me we'll work it out
Here it comes, you, me, we'll work it out

5: On Your Own
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Holy man tiptoed his way across the Ganges
The sound of magic music in his ears
Videoed by a bus load of tourists
Shiny shellsuits on and drinking lemonade
Now, I've got a funny feeling which I bought mail order
From a man in a tee-pee, California
He said he once was the great game show performer
Then he blew all his money away
Blew it all away
So take me home, don't leave me alone
I'm not that good, but I'm not that bad
No psycho killer, hooligan guerilla
I dream to riot, oh you should try it
R. E. Perot, get gold card soul
My joy of life is on a roll
And we'll all be the same in the end
Cause then you're on your own
Then you're on your own
Well, we all go happy day glow in the disc
The sound of magic music in our brains
Someone stumbles to the bathroom with the horrors
Says Lord, give me time, for I've jumped into space
I'm in outer space
So take me home, don't leave me alone
I'm not that good, but I'm not that bad
No psycho killer, hooligan guerilla
I dream to riot, oh you should try it
R. E. Perot, get gold card soul
My joy of life is on a roll
And we'll all be the same in the end
Cause then you're on your own
So take me home, don't leave me alone
I'm not that good, but I'm not that bad
No psycho killer, hooligan guerilla
I dream to riot, oh you should try it
R. E. Perot, get gold card soul
My joy of life is on a roll
And we'll all be the same in the end
Cause then you're on your own
Then you're on your own
Then you're on your own
Then you're on your own

6: Theme From Retro
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Instrumental
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7: You're So Great
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sad, drunk and poorly
Sleeping really late
Sad, drunk and poorly
Not feeling so great
Wandering lost in a town full of frowns
Sad, drunk and poorly
Dogs digging up the ground
And I feel the light in the night and in the day
And I feel the light when the sky's just mud and grey
And I feel the light when you tell me it's OK
Cause you're so great, and I love you
Tea, tea and coffee helps to start the day
Tea, tea and coffee shaking all the way
City's alive and, surprise, so am I
Tea, tea and coffee get no sleep today
And I feel the light in the night and in the day
And I feel the light when the sky's just mud and grey
And I feel the light when you tell me it's OK
Cause you're so great and I love you
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8: Death Of A Party
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The death of the party
Came as no surprise
Why did we bother?
Should have stayed away
Another night and I thought well, well
Go to another party and hang myself
Gently on the shelf
The death of the teenager
Standing on his own
Why did he bother?
Should have slept alone
Another night and I thought well, well
Go to another party and hang myself
Gently on the shelf
Another night and I thought well, well
Go to another party and hang myself
Gently on the shelf
------------------------------------------------------------------------
9: Chinese Bombs
------------------------------------------------------------------------
He makes an inner arm block then kicks from behind
The lights, they go off but he can fight blind
Cause he got the touch and he will live long
He comes from Hong Kong where justice is done
Chinese bombs, millions jump
Chairman's junk, USA
Won't somebody, won't somebody
Sink the place
Got a call to go to Soho, the dragon said go
Let everyone know that you got the touch
You come from Hong Kong where justice is done
Where people are strong and you will live long
Chinese bombs, millions jump
Chairman's junk, USA
Bruce Lee come, save the day
Bruce Lee come, the Chinese way

10: I'm Just A Killer For Your Love
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I heard a man who had no lungs
He took me in and made me lunch
Told me how I'd lost a friend
He smiled at me, that was the end
And I said:
I'm just a killer for your love
I'm just a killer for your love
I'm just a killer for your love
I'm just a killer for your love
Cut my hair off in the road
I tear my coat off, drop my load
Wipe my hands off the grass
Cos now I know nothing will last
And I said
I'm just a killer for your love
I'm just a killer for your love
I'm just a killer for your love
I'm just a killer for your love

11: Look Inside America
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Good morning, lethargy
Drink Pepsi, it's good for energy
The bath's on, smoke in the bedroom
Sore throat and on my neck a nasty bruise
And where it came from, well I don't know
But we played last night, it was a good show
Got the play-out on a second rate chat show
A nationwide deal, so we gotta go
Jeff from the Company says it'll be alright
Got an ad on KROQ and there's an in-store tonight
Well I build things up then I let them go
Got to get time share on the radio
Look inside America
She's alright, she's alright
Sitting out in the distance
But I'm not trying to make her mine
Looking for America with its kookie nights and suicides
TV says its alright cause everybody's hung up on something or other
Stepping off in twenty so the driver says
I should sleep tonight but I think I'll watch videos instead
Annie Hall leaves New York in the end
Press rewind and Woody gets her back again
And the whole world could have passed through me
But I don't know that it means much to me
Look inside America
She's alright, she's alright
Sitting out in the distance
But I'm not trying to make her mine
I'm looking for America with its kookie nights and suicides
TV says its alright cause everybody's strung out on something or other
And the whole world could have passed through me
But I don't know that it means much to me

12: Strange News from Another Star
------------------------------------------------------------------------
All I wanna be is washed out by the sea
A Death Star over me won't give me any peace
All I want is light relief, put the crazies on the street
Give them guns and feed them meat, they'll shoot the Death Star down
Dig a hole and put it down, a thousand miles underground
They say it's no game, there's strange news from another star
I'm lost, I'm lost, there's strange news from another star
Give me all your stuff until I'll get up
Watch the whole world freeze, counting tin cans in our sleep
Submarines are diving deep and don't believe in me
And don't believe in me
All I've ever done is tame, will you love me all the same
Will you love me though it's always the same
They say it's no game, there's strange news from another star
I'm lost, I'm lost, there's strange news from another star
From another star, from another star, from another star
------------------------------------------------------------------------
13: Movin' On
------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the music heist, I met the gourmet man
With aluminum lungs sucks out all he can
He sees the whole world go flip, in a stunt bug style
Cos he's a parasite with a cellulite pile
Well he can smile cause this is the music
Movin' on, we're movin' on
Hey, this is the music
Movin' on, we're movin' on
Sticky eyes and sticky bones
You get no time on your own
You get a dose and a ghost
You get it coast to coast
Now you dye your hair black
Get Satan tattooed on your back
You pierce yourself with a Coke can
And rub yourself with fake tan
Now you're in the band
Cause this is the music
Movin' on, we're movin' on
Hey, this is the music
Movin' on, we're movin' on
No matter how low there's always further to go
When you're movin' on, you're movin' on
No matter how low there's always somewhere to go
Movin on, we're movin' on, won't be long before we're gone
Hey, this is the music
Movin' on, we're movin' on
Yeah, this is the music
Movin' on, we're movin' on
No matter how low there's always further to go
Movin' on, you're movin' on
No matter how low there's always somewhere to go
Movin' on, you're movin' on

14: Essex Dogs
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I remember thinking murder in the car
Watching dogs somersault through sprinklers on tiny lawns
I remember the graffiti
When are your children coming in with spray cans of paint
I remember the sunsets and the plains of cement
And the way the night just seemed to turn the colour of orangeade
In this town, cellular phones are hot with teens
In this town, we all go to terminal pubs
It helps us sweat out those angry bits of life
From this town, the English army grind their teeth into glass
You know you'll get a kicking tonight
The smell of puke and piss
The smell of puke and piss on your stilettos
Here comes that panic attack
My heart stops and then it starts
Give me a drink
I'll drink your round
I take you round the pole
It's cold up here I see the universe waiting by a minibus
You'll catch the flu or you'll catch the city
Either way, you'll catch the flu or you'll catch the city
