CAMPER VAN BEETHOVEN - TAKE THE SKINHEADS BOWLING

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDB9oCgVHGw

Every day, I get up and pray to Jah
And he decreases the number of clocks by exactly one
Everybody's comin' home for lunch these days
Last night there were skinheads on my lawn

Take the skinheads bowling
Take them bowling
Take the skinheads bowling
Take them bowling

Some people say that bowling alleys got big lanes
Some people say that bowling alleys all look the same
There's not a line that goes here that rhymes with anything
I has a dream last night, but I forget what it was
I had a dream last night about you, my friend
I had a dream--I wanted to sleep next to plastic
I had a dream--I wanted to lick your knees
I had a dream--it was about nothing

Take the skinheads bowling
Take them bowling
Take the skinheads bowling
Take them bowling
 

THE DISTILLERS - CITY OF ANGELS

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFCNthfEVXM

It's going down tonight in this town
Cause they stare and growl
They all stare and growl
I take a scar every time I cry
Cause it ain't my style no it ain't my style
Going down to the gravel head to the barrel
Take this life and end this struggle
Los Angeles come scam me please
Emptiness never sleeps at Cliftons 6 am
With your bag lady friend and your mind descending
Stripped of the right to be a human in control
It's warmer in hell so down we go

They say this is the city
The city of angels
All I see is dead wings
[x2]

It's a ghost town rabid underworld
Dionysian night vitriolic twilight
A mirage comes up it never ends
Once you get burnt you're never the same
Left behind erased from time
Ain't no decency in being boxed up alive
Look around ain't no R.I.P. signs here
We don't rest in peace
We just disappear

So here we are Los Angeles
No angels singing in your valley of unease
I watch the sun roll down the pacific
Over hookered sunset strip

They say this is the city
The city of angels
All I see is dead wings
[x2]

There's a black moon tonight
Ain't shining down on the western neon lights
[x2]

They say this is the city
The city of angels
All I see is dead wings
[x4]

DICKIES - MANNY MOE AND JACK

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcOYYcWdeI8

When your on the road
And your car wont pull that load
And your wheels aren't feeling fine
Well I know of this joint
Where they'll check your plugs and points
I know these guys they're three good friends of mine

Manny Moe and Jack
They know what I'm after
Manny Moe and Jack
They know what I'm after
They're Many Moe and Jack

Once your inside
They wont take you for a ride
They got a good deal for you and your automobile
For the right price
They will sell you fuzzy dice
And leather hand grips for your steering wheel

Chorus

If its tires you want they got a lot for you
Dunlop, firestone, Pirelli too

(8x)Manny, Moe and Jack!
They know what I'm after
 

BILLY BRAGG - HANDYMAN BLUES

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YmHtISRcz0

I'll never gonna be the handyman around the house
My father warned,
So don't be asking me to hang the curtain
Right for you because
The screwdriver business just gets me confused
It takes me half an hour to change a fuse
And when I flick the switch, the lights all blew
I'm not your handyman!

Don't be expecting me to put up shelves
Or build the garden shed
But I can write a song that tells the world
How much I love you instead!
I'm not any good at pottery
So let's lose a "T", and shift back to "E"
And I'll find a way to make my poetry
Build a roof over our head.

I know it looks like I'm just reading the paper
But these ideas will turn to gold dust later
Cause I'm a writer, not a decorator,
I'm not your handyman!

TV PERSONALITIES - PART TIME PUNKS

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmbJdcsGl_Q

Walkin' down the kings road,
I see so many faces
They come from many places
They come down for the day
They walk around together
And try and look trendy
I think it's a shame
That they all look the same

 

(Chorus):

Here they come
la la la la la la
la la la la la la
The part time punks!

Here they come
la la la la la la
la la la la la la
The part time punks!

 

Then they go to Rough Trade
To buy Siouxsie and the Banshees
They heard John Peel play it
Just the other night
They'd like to buy the O Level single
or Read about Seymour
But they're not pressed in red
So they buy The Lurkers instead

 

Here they come
la la la la la la
la la la la la la
The part time punks!

Here they come
la la la la la la
la la la la la la
The part time punks!

They play their records very loud

 And pogo in the bedroom
In front of the mirror
But only when their mums gone out
They pay 5 pence fares on the buses
And they never use toothpaste
But they got two fifty to go and see The Clash.
Tonight!

 

Here they come
la la la la la la
la la la la la la
The part time punks!

Here they come
la la la la la la
la la la la la la

 The part time punks!

The part time punks!
The part time punks!
The part time punks!

STIFF LITTLE FINGERS - TIN SOLDIERS

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pl5V26oXHUI

He joined up to get a job
And show he wasn't scared
Swapped boy scout hat for army cap
He thought he'd be prepared
At the age of 17 he was forced to choose
Now at the age of 21 he's in Catch 22

He joined up for just three years
It seemed a small amount
But they didn't tell him
That the first two didn't count
At the age of 17 how was he to know
That at the age of 21 he'd still have one to go?

Tin soldier
He signed away his name
Tin soldier
No chance for cash or fame
Tin soldier
Now he knows the truth
Tin soldier
He signed away his youth

He joined up cos Dad knew best
To do right by his son
Now he hates and counts the dates
That mark time on square one
At the age of 17 he did as he was told
Now at the age of 21 tin still won't turn to gold

Tin soldier
He signed away his name
Tin soldier
No chance for cash or fame
Tin soldier
Now he knows the truth
Tin soldier
He signed away his youth

If at the age of 17 you're falling back too soon
And at the age of 21 you'll still march to the tune

Tin soldiers
You signed away your name
Tin soldiers
No chance for cash or fame
Tin soldiers
Now you now the truth
Tin soldiers
You signed away your youth
Tin soldiers
You go and join the queue
Tin soldiers
Do what they want you to
Tin soldiers
They take away your name
Tin soldiers
They treat you all the same

Sign away your life
Sign away your life

RAMONES - PET SEMATARY

RAMONES - PET SEMETARY

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3J0iwwsq-w

Under the arc of a weather stain boards,
Ancient goblins, and warlords,
Come out of the ground, not making a sound,
The smell of death is all around,
And the night when the cold wind blows,
No one cares, nobody knows.

[CHORUS]
I don't want to be buried in a Pet Sematary,
I don't want to live my life again,
I don't want to be buried in a Pet Sematary,
I don't want to live my life again.

Follow Victor to the sacred place,
This ain't a dream, I can't escape,
Molars and fangs, the clicking of bones,
Spirits moaning among the tombstones,
And the night, when the moon is bright,
Someone cries, something ain't right.

The moon is full, the air is still,
All of a sudden I feel a chill,
Victor is grinning, flesh rotting away,
Skeletons dance, I curse this day,
And the night when the wolves cry out,
Listen close and you can hear me shout.

JOHNNY THUNDERS - YOU CAN'T PUT YOUR ARMS AROUND A MEMORY

JOHHNY THUNDERS - YOU CAN'T PUT YOUR ARMS AROUND A MEMORY

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0_2aWbOmJc

It doesn't pay to try,
All the smart boys know why,
It doesn't mean i didn't try,
I just never know why.
Feel so cold and all alone,
Cause baby, you're not at home.
And when i'm home
Big deal, i'm still alone.

Feel so restless, i am,
Beat my head against a pole
Try to knock some sense,
Down in my bones.
And even though they don't show,
The scars aren't so old
And when they go,
They let you know

You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
Don't try, don't try

You're just a bastard kid,
And you got no name
Cause you're living with me,
We're one and the same

And even though they dont show,
They scars aren't so old
And when they go,
They let you know

You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
Don't try, don't try

You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
Don't try, don't try

PIXIES - BONE MACHINE

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TX2_wZc-MU4

You're into Japanese fast food
And I drop you off with your Japanese lover
And you go to the beach all day
You're so pretty when you're unfaithful to me
You're so pretty when you're unfaithful to me

You're looking like
You've got some sun
Your blistered lips
Have got a kiss
They taste a bit like everyone
Uh-oh, Uh-oh, Uh-oh, Uh-oh

Your bones got a little machine
You're the bone machine

I was talking to preachy-preach about kissy-kiss
Buy me a soda
Buy me a soda and try to molest me in the parking lot
Eh, eh

I make you break
You make me hard
Your Irish skin
Looks Mexican
Our love is rice and beans and horse's lard
Your bones got a little machine
You're the bone machine

Uh-oh, Uh-oh, Uh-oh, Uh-oh [3x]
Uh-oh, Uh-oh, Uh-oh, Uh-oh

Watching the girls go by
Spending money on...

Sleep all day
It's the only way
I'm a parasite
I creep about at night

Nite Klub, is this the in place to be?
Nite Klub, what am I doing here?
Nite Klub, watching the girls go by
Spending money on...

Hey, hey, I don't work

There's no work to do

Nite Klub,

I won't dance in a club like this
All the girls are slags

NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS - INTO MY ARMS

I don't believe in an interventionist God

But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Not to touch a hair on your head
To leave you as you are
And if He felt He had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

And I don't believe in the existence of angels
But looking at you I wonder if that's true
But if I did I would summon them together
And ask them to watch over you
To each burn a candle for you
To make bright and clear your path
And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love
And guide you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

And I believe in Love
And I know that you do too
And I believe in some kind of path
That we can walk down, me and you
So keep your candles burning
And make her journey bright and pure
That she will keep returning
Always and evermore

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

Yeh you gotta treat me better, or it gotta be your funeral and my trial

MISFITS - SKULLS

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7B5PrIQYuRo

Corpses all hang headless and limp

Bodies with no surprises

And the blood drains down like devil's rain

We'll bathe tonight

I want your skull

I need your skull

I want your skull

I need your skull

Demon I am and face I peel

To see your skin turned inside out, 'cause,

Gotta have you on my wall

Gotta have you on my wall,

'Cause I want your skull

I need your skull

I want your skull

I need your skull

Collect the heads of little girls and put 'em on my wall

Hack the heads off little girls and put 'em on my wall

I want your skull

I need your skull

Whoa

I have seen you in your slums ,
I have known you as a junkie,
and I have seen you as a drunkard ,
and I heard you cry when you hurted,

Now you want reality,
and you don't need them to see ,
our lives belong to you and me ,
not some banker or some other top ranker

I , I liberate , I liberate , I liberate

I have seen you as the oppressed ,
and I have seen you as the oppressor ,
now you've come of age this century ,
I know now you want to be free

Now you want reality,
and you don't need them to see ,
our lives belong to you and me ,
not some banker or some other top ranker

I , I liberate , I liberate , I liberate

Been down , down , down
been angry , angry
been confused , like you....but now I liberate
