MACHINE GUN ETIQUETTE

LOVE SONG

Ladies and gentlemen...how do.

Hey man, what's happening?

I'll be the ticket if you're my collector
I've charge the fare if you're my inspector
I'll be the luggage if you'll be the porter
I'll be the parcel if you'll be my sorter

Just for you here's a love song
Just for you here's a love song
And it makes me glad to say
It's been a lovely day
And it's okay

I'll be the mail you'll be the guard
I'll be the ink on your season ticket card
I'll be the rubbish you'll be the bin
I'll be the paint on the sign if you'll be the tin

Just for you here's a love song
Just for you here's a love song
And it makes me glad to say
It's been a lovely day
And it's okay

SECOND TIME AROUND

I remember what you said (second time around)
Don't you wish that we were dead (second time around)

No more getting pushed around (second time around)
Not that we've gone underground (second time around)

Now its time for you to see (second time around)
What the Love Song did for me (second time around)

Really famous stinking rich (second time around)
Straight up there without a hitch (second time around)

I remember what you said (second time around)
Don't you wish that we were dead (second time around)

No more getting pushed around (second time around)
Back to haunt you with our sound (second time around)

I JUST CAN'T BE HAPPY TODAY

I Just Can't Be Happy Today
I Just Can't Be Happy Today

A lot of you know there's nothing to smile
There's no feeling fine without being fined
It's a price on your head
No point being sad when justice is red

I Just Can't Be Happy Today
I Just Can't Be Happy Today

They're closing the schools
They're burning the books
The church is in ruins
The priests hang on hooks
The radios on ice
The telly's been banned
The army's in power
The devil commands

Illegal to dance Forbidden to cry
You do what you're told and never ask why
Ignore all those fools
They don't understand we make our own rules

I Just Can't Be Happy Today
I Just Can't Be Happy Today
I Just Can't Be Happy, Just Can't Be Happy, Just Can't Be Happy Today
I Just Can't Be Happy, Just Can't Be Happy, Just Can't Be Happy Today

MELODY LEE

Melody lee, a broken man and a broken dream
It must have been a change of heart
Your life was cruel they called it art

Melody lee, you need a nuke to set you free
You know you can't cheat tomorrow
If you hide any sorrow

Melody lee, you gotta find your secret enemy
You're on the run with nowhere to go
If you die someone to know

Forget your heart, you need not stay
A second longer than today

Melody lee, a broken man and a broken dream
It must have been a change of heart
Your life was cruel they called it art

ANTIPOPE

I'm going back to church tonight
Take me back when I was eight
But I don't mean to pray
I'm gonna nick the collection plate

I've got nothing against church
Or the people who go there and show there
Plain ignorant they don't understand
At congregation at weekends will change their behaviour
So many people are weak enough
To have to seek answers from pedlars of hope
I should know I used to go there myself
That's the day I became antipope

Theres gonna be some fun tonight
Spending it around the town
The vicars are transvestites
With a fetish for erotic gowns

Religion doesn't mean a thing
Its just another way of being right wing
I think sex films are okay
I don't dig that poko way

THESE HANDS

These are the hands of a demented circus clown
Outside I'm laughing but inside I'm really wearing a frown
I see you laughing at me
But baby in my dreams
Its quite a different scene

Chasing you through the night with my hands around your neck
Funny how everything seems to make me colliette
I find I'm laughing at you
And you are turning blue
Ha ha ha ha ha Ha ha ha ha ha Ho ho ho

Stop laughing

PLAN 9 CHANNEL 7

She plays her mouth into a smile
And offers that he stay a while
Two hearts that beat as one
And eyes that hardly ever saw the sun
Hollywood babbles on
She lays a wreath of lilies on his grave
His flame gone along with the love he never gave
Not to be seduced by those red lips
Two dimensional comic clips
Hollywood babbles on
on and on and on and on and...

Channel 7, with shades of grey
Too close but two worlds away
Plan 9, hello may
Too close but two worlds away
They say

Step into the night

Channel 7, with shades of grey
Too close but two worlds away
Plan 9, hello may
Too close but two worlds away
They say

NOISE NOISE NOISE

It's 7am on a brand new day
I'm gonna start it in the perfect way
Put the greatest record on

I kick the dog and kick the cat
Insult my mum insult my dad
Scream out loud and sing along

We say noise is for heroes (heroes)
Leave the music for zeroes (zeroes)
Noise Noise Noise is for heroes (heroes)
Oh yeah

I'm down the pub the time is one
Hit the jukebox for my favourite song
Gonna turn it up too loud

Have a couple of games of pool
Argue with a drunken fool
Have a beer with the usual crowd

We say noise is for heroes (heroes)
Leave the music for zeroes (zeroes)
Noise Noise Noise is for heroes (heroes)
Oh yeah

Its noise that makes the world go round
I can't survive without that sound
The sound torments me

Its 8 o'clock down the church hall
Enourmous amplifiers 6 feet tall
Gonna turn them up full blast
The vicar waves his arms and looks absurd
The noise drowns out his godly words
And he can't get out too fast

We say noise is for heroes (heroes)
Leave the music for zeroes (zeroes)
Noise Noise Noise is for heroes (heroes)
Oh yeah

Noise Noise Noise
Noise Noise Noise
Noise Noise Noise

LOOKING AT YOU

When it happened
Something Snapped inside me
Made me wanna hide
All alone on my own, all alone on my own
I stood up on the stand my eyes shut tight
Didn't wanna see anybody
Feeling alright, having a good time
Doing alright, doing alright
Doing alright, doing alright

I saw into the dancing crowd
Felt like screaming out loud
I saw you standing there
Saw your long, your long hair

Opened up my eyes baby
You made me realise what I wanna do now
All I wanna do now babe is look at you
Looking at you babe, looking at you
Looking at you, looking at you baby
You baby
You baby
You baby
You baby
You baby
You baby
Yeah yeah

I saw into the dancing crowd
Felt like screaming out loud
I saw you standing there
Saw your long, your long hair

LIAR

Theres not a word of truth in anything that I say
I don't really want to listen till they go away
I haven't finished and I never try
If you ask me reasons I just lie

I'm a liar, liar, I never tell the truth
I'm a liar, liar, I never tell the truth

I tell you how I feel and why it is
And what you are if you don't start to give
I love spending hours watching television
I saw a dance, lights, room and a fall and your crepid polititions

I'm a liar, liar, I never tell the truth
I'm a liar, liar, I never tell the truth

I smoked your last cigarette I say that someone else did
I send your mum to the vet and find out your sisters brilliant
You ask me why, I just lie
I'm a liar, liar

I'm gonna be the biggest liar in the world
I'll be so good you'll believe every word
I could even make you believe Adolf Hitler
Send him to Russia for the winter

I'm a liar, liar, I never tell the truth
I'm a liar, liar, I never tell the truth

SMASH IT UP

We've been crying now for much too long
And now we're gonna dance to a different song
I'm gonna sream and shout til my dying breath
I'm gonna smash it up til theres nothing left

Oooh ooh smash it up, smash it up, smash it up
Oooh ooh smash it up, smash it up, smash it up

People call me villain oh its such a shame
Maybe its my clothes must be to blame
I don't even care if I look a mess
Don't wanna be a sucker like all the rest

Oooh ooh smash it up, smash it up, smash it up
Oooh ooh smash it up, smash it up, smash it up

Smash it up
Smash it up
Smash it up
Smash it up
Smash it up

(Instrumental Break)

Smash it up, you can keep your krishna burgers
Smash it up, and your Glastonbury hippies
Smash it up, you can stick your frothy lager
Smash it up, and your blow wave hairstyles

And everybody's smashing things down
I said everybody's smashing things down yeah
