I'm bored, I'm so bored - and I have only just got up
take a cab down to the heart of town
looking for an answer or some love
see what I can see, acid babes and sunbed slaves
dream boys who see each other's dreams
the best of friends - they'll be your END
edenites rise when the sun goes down
edenites then take the car down town
edenites dance to the early hours
their love will send you to heaven
You weren't in the phone book
but I found you in the Book Of Revelations
a mean, preen scene teen
as groovy as a Garbo movie - no reservations
NOW - I can't get up
don't want to go
back to my school
I can't eat, or brush my teeth, or even BREATHE
the same air they do
edenites rise when the sun goes down
edenites then take the car down town
edenites dance to the early hours
their love will send you to heaven
edenites cry when the sunbeams rise
edenites lie when they say goodbye
edenites smile if you like their size
their kiss will send you to heaven
goodness gracious -
don't be scared of who you are
don't you worry 'bout your reputation
reputation won't go far
when you're looking for a NEW SENSATION
edenites rise when the sun goes down
edenites then take the car down town
edenites dance to the early hours
their love will send you to heaven
edenites cry when the sunbeams rise
edenites lie when they say goodbye
edenites smile if you like their size
their kiss will send you to heaven
CHEAP THRILLS & EXPENSIVE REGRETS
Nature was so generous
to you and now, you wear your clothes
to make it obvious
a boy who's
cute as the girl next door
having fun, well what else, son, could your life be for?
More cheap thrills & expensive regrets
More cheap thrills & expensive regrets
More cheap thrills & expensive regrets
More cheap thrills & expensive regrets
One sniff and you're not so stiff
is it true that if, you don't get off your head, you feel you can't fit in?
Nantwich
would flinch
at how you live
even I wonder if
you find the time for love
(am I too sensitive? )
More cheap thrills & expensive regrets
More cheap thrills & expensive regrets
More cheap thrills & expensive regrets
More cheap thrills & expensive regrets
Who needs education
when you draw such adoration
why bleach Ibiza-tanned skin white?
Just remember, don't make passes
at lovers of members of the criminal classes
and you should survive another night
He combs his hair in the slivers
of his many broken mirrors
then he's out to shame himself anew
(can I come, too?)
More cheap thrills & expensive regrets
More cheap thrills & expensive regrets
More cheap thrills & expensive regrets
More cheap thrills & expensive regrets
More cheap thrills & expensive regrets
More cheap thrills & expensive regrets
More cheap thrills & expensive regrets
More cheap thrills & expensive regrets
KING OF THE FAIRGROUND SWING
The fair pulled in
at 5am
I was drawn by the smell
and the sound - and the sheer vulgarity
he's by the swing
at ease in his tattooed skin
he pins down a girl with a grin
and she falls
spontaneously pregnant
He's the king of the fairground swing
gives free rides to the girls he fancies
he's the king of the fairground swing
A blissed-out, slack-jawed son
O Levels has he none
but he knows more than you or your dad ever will
about life and love
... and bodily fluids
the speaker on the House of Fun
grinds tunes that even the un-
hippest milkman can whistle with ease
and they blend
with the SCREAMS
He's the king of the fairground swing
gives free rides to the girls he fancies
see the king of the fairground swing
he's the king of the fairground swing
takes them back to his mobile chalet
he's the king of the fairground swing
but I was born out of joint with the world
and I feel
so desperate, so separate, from every single thing that breathes
so when your foul fairground
leaves this drowsy town
won't you
