1: Season ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Late september you walked into my life I remember the autumn, I remember that night That smile on your face, the pale pale moon All those 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 taken your own life Down the corridor to the bedroom I sit here 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2: Jack Names The Planets ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 Jack names the planets after you Jack names the planets after you, 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 Jack names the planets after you Jack names the planets after you, you Jack names the planets after you Jack names the planets after you Jack names the planets after you, you I wish you'd come back everything's 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 won't be solely on your own Jack names the planets after you Jack names the planets after you Jack names the planets after you, you ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3: Intense Thing ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Now it's too late to be using my mind To reason with you would be far too kind It's all coming down like the dark on the town The cold stings my tearstained face So now it's all over, it's much too late to say 'Oh no' I try not to echo everyone's dream But they don't exist or so it seems They just live inside of me 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 lonely, standing all alone 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 hates 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 lonely, standing all alone Oh, she left me lonely, standing on my own She takes her pass so quickly Gone for all so long ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4: 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 A 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5: Get Out ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get your money out, get your money out Get your money out for me If you get it out, get it all out Get it all out you'll see You've got so much to give, you've got so much to loose It might seem just a little unfair, then you'll see that you cannot choose Take a time out, take a time out Take a time out for me Get it out, get it all out Get it all out and you see You've got so much to give, you've got so much to loose It might seem just a little unfair, then you'll see that you cannot choose Get yourself out, get yourself out Get yourself out for me Get it out, get it all out Get it all out and you see You've got so much to give, you've got so much to loose It might seem just a little unfair, then you'll see that you cannot choose You've got so much to give, you've got so much to loose It might seem just a little unfair, then you'll see that you cannot choose ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6: 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'll all get back in the cars, and maybe they'll go home But the things they'll never know, like where it is I go ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7: Obscure Thing ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Instrumental (kind of) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 8: Hulk Hogan Bubblebath ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Instrumental (kind of) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 9: 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 I lied you're not so different today Don't go so far away And without you my life is boring anyway I lied you're not so different today Don't go so far away I lied you're not so different today Don't go so far away ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10: 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 I bet he's not a real punk boy I 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 I bet he's not a real punk boy I bet he's not a real punk boy 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 11: 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 I just wanna reach the radio star It's a satelite off venus and it ain't too far I just wanna reach the radio star 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 just wanna reach the radio star I just wanna reach the radio star It's a satelite off venus and it ain't too far I just wanna reach the radio star I just wanna reach the radio star I just wanna reach the radio star It's a satelite off venus and it ain't too far I just wanna reach the radio star 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 the 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 it's bay in the back of the car and blew it up to hell As arranged 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 he 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 observerd 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 Congratulations you guys I just wanna reach the radio star I just wanna reach the radio star It's a satelite off venus and it ain't too far I just wanna reach the radio star I just wanna reach the radio star I just wanna reach the radio star It's a satelite off venus and it ain't too far I just wanna reach the radio star
