Neat Neat Neat

(James)

Be a man, can a mystery man
Be a doll, be a baby doll
It can't be fun not any way
It can't be found no way at all
A distant man can't sympathise
He can't uphold his distant laws
Due to form on that today
I got a feeling that I hear the call

I said neat neat neat
She can't afford no cannon
Neat neat neat
She can't afford no gun at all
Neat neat neat
She can't afford no cannon
Neat neat neat
She ain't got no name to call
Neat neat neat

No crime, if there ain't no law
No more cops left to mess you around
No more dreams of mystery chords
No more sight to bring you down
I got a crazy, got a thought in my mind
My mind's on when she falls asleep
Feeling fine in her restless time
When these words upon me creep

I said neat neat neat
She can't afford no cannon
Neat neat neat
She can't afford no gun at all
Neat neat neat
She can't afford no cannon
Neat neat neat
She ain't got no name to call
Neat neat neat

Fan Club

(James)

Well I'm craving for a cigarette
Hey give me a light
Feeling kinda thirsty
Gimme something that bites
Sure been hanging around here
For much too long
All you crazy people waiting for my song
I said

Well here I am
I'm just another one night stand
Anyway I don't know why I'm sad
For my fan club

Waiting for my autograph
Well you must be mad
Standing in the pissing rain
Must be a drag
But if that's what you wanna do
I won't say no
And if you wanna see more of me
See me after the show, I said

Well here I am
I'm just another one night stand
Anyway I don't know why I'm sad
For my fan club

Solo

You send me pretty flowers
While I'm slashing my wrists
I'd read those little letters
Through my smashed out mists
The dream I shock you
Is my nightmare
I'm the freak that's on display
So stand and stare, I said

Well here I am
I'm just another one night stand
Anyway I don't know why I'm sad
For my fan club

I Fall

(James)

I gotta full moon
A small room that I need
A candy store, a sexy whore
Yes I bleed
A sifting sand, and an electronic hand
Yes I'm mine
A souped up truck, a gobbling suck
Yes I'm blind

But I fall, well I fall
Well I fall, yeah I fall

My mind's a raging blame
A crying shame, and I'm sad
A city of sin, a bottle of gin
So doggone bad
A cool reaction for the big attraction
That's fine
A messed up gut or a nacked cut
Yeah that's fine

But I fall, well I fall
Well I fall, yeah I fall

I'm a falling angel
Falling down
Be a falling angel
Won't you come on round
Don't be scared to follow
It's no crime
You're a falling angel
Before your time

Solo

And I fall, and I fall
And I fall, and I fall

Born To Kill

(James)

I get a calling time of day
Beat a lot, a lot of crime away
There's nothing baby I can't take
With that crime I'm gonna make your body ache

It's no kind of big deal
No carnegie steal
I feel like no heel
Well I'm born, said I'm born
Yeah I'm born, I'm born to kill
Said I'm born, yeah I'm born
No I'm born, I'm born to kill

Jet along and jive my back
Don't tread on my toes and don't skid on my back
Chedden bone chops are real fine fine fine
Well, take a chance honey, you can be mine

It's no kind of big deal
No carnegie steal
I don't feel like no heel
Said I'm born, no I'm born
I'm born, well I'm born to kill
Said I'm born, no I'm born
Yeah I'm born, I'm born to kill
Born to kill
Born to kill
Born to kill
Born to kill

Stab Your Back

(Scabies-James)

Stab your back (8 times)

Well, you used to hang around on the rails, yeah
You know they was your patch
But there's a brand new kid in town
Never gonna till you gonna live it down, he's gonna

Stab your back (8 times)

I'm gonna stab your back
You ain't nothin' but a dead hack
Now that you're twenty five
Never gonna live till you're twenty nine, I'm gonna

Stab your back (8 times)

Feel The Pain

(James)

I know you're cold but I've seen it before
I'd take a chance on the wine
Your starched white hips introvenus she drips
In fear of turning blind
Hair to gray and some guys say
Shows you're, shows you're growing old
Do it again, I can't explain
The light sure seems so cold

Feel the pain, it leaves no stain
Feel the pain, the name of the game

Drop some blues, time to choose
Why your heart is st-st-stabbing
Bloody eyes can't describe
The nature of your ha-ha-hacking
Back to front, the blade tastes blunt
In the safety of your bedroom
No desire to touch the fire
There's justa, justa sad obsession

Feel the pain, it leaves no stain, leave no stain
Feel the pain, the name of the game

Feel the pain, it leaves no stain -stain
Feel the pain, the name of the game

Feel the pain, feel the pain
Feel the pain, feel the pain
Feel the pain, feel the pain

New Rose

(James)

Is she really going out with him?

Ah

I got a feeling inside of me
This kind of strange like a stormy sea
I don't know why, I don't know why
I guess these things have got to be

I got a new rose, I got her good
Guess I knew that always would
I can't stop to mess around
I got a brand new rose in town

See the sun, see the sun it shines
Don't get too close or it will burn your eyes
Don't you run away that way
You can come back another day

I got a new rose, I got her good
Guess I knew that always would
I can't stop to mess around
I got a brand new rose in town

I never thought this could happen to me
I been strange, oh why should it be
I don't deserve somebody this great
Yeaaah, I better go or it'll be too late
Yeah

Ah

Aaaa, I got a feeling inside of me
This kind of strange like a stormy sea
I don't know why, I don't know why
I guess these things have got to be

I got a new rose, I got her good
Guess I knew that always would
I can't stop to mess around
Got a brand new rose in town

Fish

(James)

Well I've seen you hanging round and round
On the streets with something that's on your mind
Don't you think that I'm being fresh

Only want to lay with you
I promise you won't smell no fish
I said fish

Well I don't want you to think
I'm being obscene
When I say say say I wanna hold your hand
Feeling kinda cold, need something hot to hold

Only want to lay with you
I promise you won't smell no fish
I said fish

Solo

Fish, fish

Well I've seen you hanging round and round
On the streets with something that's on your mind
Don't you think that I'm being fresh

Only want to lay with you
I promise you won't smell no fish
I said fish
I said fish
I said fish

See Her Tonight

(James)

One, two, three, four

She's no so clear, she's got nothing to say
It don't happen at all, it's not her day
She don't like art and plastic's a con
She can't stand fools who think it's right to be wrong

She's so cool, see her tonite
She's no fool, I wanna see her tonite

She don't fit in any so called scene
She don't like going where she's already been
Afraid rock'n roll's gonna end up like art
She don't like ending what she can't even start

She's so cool, see her tonite
She's no fool, I wanna see her tonite
She's so cool, I wanna see her tonite
She's no fool, I wanna see her tonite

Solo

She's no so clear, she's got nothing to say
It don't happen at all, it's not her day

She can't stand fools who think it's right to be wrong

She's so cool, see her tonite
She's no fool, I wanna see her tonite
She's so cool, I wanna see her tonite
She's no fool, I wanna see her tonite
I wanna see her tonite

I wanna see her tonite
I wanna see her tonite
I wanna see her tonite
I wanna see her tonite
I wanna see her tonite

1 Of The 2

(James)

Oh yeah you're all cracked up fury
All get no jury to defend you
You tried but you couldn't cry
When they see you
You want me to hang around
With you always
But you lie and die
When all you ever give me is disgrace

That's the way down
That's the way down
That's sedation
That's sedation
Or one of the two
Or one of the two

With our saturation eyes
You think you can disguise all those meat things
But can you grovel in the dust
With masochistic lust and make the song sing
Oh yeah you're all cracked up fury
All get no jury to defend you
You tried but you couldn't cry
When they see you

That's the way down
That's the way down
That's sedation
That's sedation
Or one of the two
Or one of the two

Oh yeah you're all cracked up fury
All get no jury to defend you
You tried but you couldn't cry
When they see you
You want me to hang around
With you always
But you lie and die
When all you ever give me is disgrace

That's the way down
That's the way down
That's sedation
That's sedation
Or one of the two
Or one of the two
One of the two
Or one of the two
Or one of the two

So Messed Up

(James)

One, two, three, oh she's so,
Messed up, she won't even ball
Well she's so messed up, she has no fun at all
She's a sad case of hit and run
I think that I would rather fuck her mom

Oh well her face is such a mess
The best thing she can do is die
Oh well I'd save her the trouble
But I bet you'd still call it a crime

Oh would you know

So messed up, well she's so messed up
Yeah she's so messed up, so messed up

So messed up (9 times)

Oh she's so messed up, she don't feel the pain
Oh she's so messed up, she'll always feel the same
Oh she's so messed up, she don't feel the pain
I think ,no I ain't think, she ain't even got no brain

I Feel Alright

(The Stooges)

Out of my mind on Saturday night
Nineteen-seventy is rollin' in sight
Radio burnin' up above
Beautiful baby, be my love
Alrnight till I blow away
Alrnight till I blow away
I feel alright
I feel alright
Feel alright

Baby oh baby, burn my heart
Baby oh baby, burn my heart
Fall apart babe, fall apart
Baby oh baby, burn my heart
Alright till I blow away
Alright till I blow away
I feel alright
I feel alright
Feel alright

Solo

Out of my mind on Saturday night
Nineteen-seventy is rollin' in sight

I feel alright

Feel alright
