1.How Peculiar

How peculiar

I am all of the above babe
Johnny long to the grave
saving all the stamps in
Spend it on a kettle

Rub me rub me up right lovely
If you lick it then lick it battery
Good and properly all night if you want

I haven't got a clue what to do with you
Need for you to love me so much
Jesus what am I going to do with this crush
So get the old fella and wack it up against the touch

How peculiar

Bend your long legs against the sofa and the Dorchester
You can eat your All Bran
I'm not into heart sports

Oh I haven't got a clue what to do with you
Jesus all the things my head is going through
God what am I going to do with this crush
Just wack the old man out and get it up against the touch

How peculiar

Jesus what am I to do man
I am a depressed man
Not sure what I'm doing
All of the day

How peculiar

I am all of the above man
I am what you want man
If you want me here I am
Come and get it baby


2.Feel

Come on hold my hand,
I wanna contact the living.
not sure I understand,
this role I've been given.

I sit and talk to god
and he just laughs at my plans,
my head speaks a language, I don't understand.

(Chorus)
I just wanna feel real love,
feel the home that I live in.
'Cause I got too much life,
running through my veins, going to waste.

I dont wanna die,
but I aint keen on living either.
Before I fall in love,
I'm preparing to leave her.
I scare myself to death,
that's why I keep on running.
Before I've arrived, I can see myself coming.

(Chorus)
I just wanna feel real love,
feel the home that I live in.
'Cause I got too much life,
running through my veins, going to waste.

and I need to feel, real love
and a life ever after.
I cannot get enough.

(Instrumental)

(Chorus)
I just wanna feel real love,
feel the home that I live in,
I got too much love,
running through my veins, going to waste.

I just wanna feel real love,
in a life ever after
There's a hole in my soul,
you can see it in my face, its a real big place.

(Instrumental)

Come and hold my hand,
I wanna contact the living,
not sure I understand,
this role I've been given

not sure I understand.
not sure I understand.
not sure I understand.
not sure I understand.


3.Something Beautiful

You can't manufacture a miracle
The silence was pitiful. Bad day
And love is gettin' to cynical
Passion's just physical these days

You analyze everyone you meet
But get no sign, loving kind
Every night you admit defeat
And cry yourself blind

If you can't wake up in the morning
'Cause your bed lies vacant at night
If you're lost, hurt, tired or lonely
Can't control it, try as you might

May have found that love that won't leave you
May have found it by the end of the day
You won't be lost, hurt, tired and lonely
Something beautiful will come your way

The DJ said on the radio
Life should be stereo each day
And the pastor cast the unsuitable
'Stead of some kind of beautiful
You just couldn't wait

All your friends think you're satisfied
But they can't see your soul
No, no, no
Forgot the time feelin' petrified
When they lived alone

If you can't wake up in the morning
'Cause your bed lies vacant at night
If you're lost, hurt, tired and lonely
Can't control it, try as you might

May have found that love that won't leave you
May have found it by the end of the day
You won't be lost, hurt, tired and lonely
Something beautiful will come your way

Some kind of beautiful
Some kind of beautiful
Some kind of beautiful

All your friends think you're satisfied
But they can't see your soul
No, no, no
Forgot the time feelin' petrified
When they lived alone

If you can't wake up in the morning
'Cause your bed lies vacant at night
If you're lost, hurt, tired and lonely
Can't control it, try as you might

May have found that love that won't leave you
May have found it by the end of the day
You won't be lost, hurt, tired and lonely
Something beautiful will come your way

You won't be lost, hurt, tired and lonely
Something beautiful will come your way


4.Monsoon

I've sung some Songs that were lame
I've slept with girls on the game.
I've got my Catholic shame
Lord I'm in purgatory
Basically it's all come-on top for me

I wasn't me when we met
You haven't lost my respect
I'm here to serve and protect
What shape of insanity
Keeps leading you back to me?

So put your hands across the water
Oh Mushroom
Monsoon
Come soon

Don't wanna piss on your parade
I'm here to make money and get laid
Yeah I'm a star but I'll fade
If you ain't stickin your knives in me
You will be eventually

To all you Sharons and Michelles
With all your tales to sell
Save your meat money well
I'm glad that spending a night with me
Guaranteed you celebrity.

And I can't talk in a crowd
When I'm alone I'm too loud
You've done your daddy's proud
Thank you for keeping me company
You've all been so nice to me

So put your hands across the water
Oh mushroom
Monsoon
Come soon

Oh Lord
I feel
Nothing
I know much smarter men
Never got this far

I got too many regrets
I've smoked too many cigarrettes
I've had more blondes than brunettes
I'm not expecting your symphathy
But it's all been too much for me

So put your hands across the water
Oh mushroom
Monsoon
Come soon

repeat


5.Sexed Up

Loose lips sunk ships
I'm getting to grips
With what you said
No it's not in my head
I can't awaken the dead
Day after day

Why don't we talk about it ?
Why do you always doubt that there can be a better way?
It doesn't make me wanna stay

(Chorus)
Why don't we break up ?
There's nothing left to say
I've got my eyes shut, praying they won't stray
And When I'm sexed up
That's what makes the difference today
I hope you blow away

You say we're fatally flawed
Well I'm easily bored, Is that okay?
Write me off your list
Make this the last kiss
I'll walk away

Why don't we talk about it?
I'm only here
Don't shout it
Given time we'll forget
Let's pretend we never met

(Chorus)

Screw you, I didn't like your taste
Anyway, I chose you
and that's all gone to waste
It's Saturday, I'll go out and find another you

Chorus:

Why don't we
Why don't we break up
There's nothing left to say
I've got my eyes shut
Praying they won't stray
And when I'm sexed up
That's what makes the difference today
I hope you blow away
I hope you blow away
I hope you blow away
I hope you blow away.
blow away
blow away
just blow away


6.Love Somebody

Always and forever is forever young
Your shadow on the pavement
The dark side of the sun
Gotta dream the dream all over
And sleep here tight
You don't wanna sing the blues
In black and white

And it's hope that spring's eternal for everyone
If it ain't broken break it or the damage done

Trying to love somebody
Just wanna love somebody right now
There's just no pleasing me
Trying to love somebody
Just want to love somebody right now
Baby lay your love on me

Violet in the rainbow just melt away
There's not enough minutes in the hour
Or hours in the day
The song played in a circle that never skips a beat
The stranger in a country that I have yet to meet

And it's hope that springs eternal for everyone
Got a lifetime in a second oh the damage done

Trying to love somebody
Just wanna love somebody right now
Guess there's just no pleasing me
I want to love somebody
Just want to love somebody right now
Baby lay your love on me

It'll come in your sweet time, Lord
I just gotta let you in
The blind leading the blind, Lord
Getting underneath your skin
I can feel you in the silence
Saying let forever be
Love, only love, will set you free

I wanna love somebody
Wanna love somebody right now
There's just no pleasing me
I wanna love somebody
Just wanna love somebody right now
Lay lay, lay your love on me

It'll come in your sweet time, Lord
I just gotta let you in
The blind leading the blind, Lord
Getting underneath your skin
I can feel you in the silence
Saying let forever be
Love, only love, will set you free


7.Revolution

Don't fight the feelin', relax
Oh child, the knots in your back
'Cause you've been holdin' on
I feel you when you're reachin' out

I'll talk you through memories
Just keep breathin' with me
It's time to hold my hand
And walk into the revolution

And there's no one to touch
And you've been thinkin' too much
You only hurt yourself
When it's all about retribution

I see the pain in your face
I'm payin' rent for this space
It's time to lead you on
Come on, it's a revolution

When you can't keep on keepin' on
And everything you lean upon it open, gone
Everybody falls sometimes, but love shines on
And on, and on, and

With love in your eyes
And a flame in your heart
You're gonna find yourself some resolution

A million miles with one step
And you'll find yourself yet
Walkin' with the revolution

Get it on, get it on, get it on, get it on
With the revolution (Talkin' 'bout a revolution)

Get it on, get it on, get it on, get it on
With the revolution (Walkin' with the revolution)

Get it on, get it on, get it on, get it on
With the revolution (Takin' you higher)

Oh, a love lingers on
You're just feelin' let down
I know you're tired
But when it's time to sleep, you're gone forever

Make friends with your past
Then you can leave it at last
It's time to find yourself
Walkin' with the revolution

When you can't keep on keepin' on
And everything you lean upon it open, gone (open,
gone)
Everybody hurts sometimes, but love shines on
And on, and on, and

Time and time's on your side
There's no need to hide
I feel your pain
Don't talk to me about evolution

A million miles with one step
And you'll find yourself yet
When you're walkin' with the revolution

Walkin' with the revolution

A million miles with one step
And you'll find yourself yet
When you're walkin' with the revolution

Get it on, get it on, get it on, get it on
With the revolution (Walkin' with a revolution)

Get it on, get it on, get it on, get it on
With the revolution (Keep walkin' with the revolution)

Get it on, get it on, get it on, get it on (get it on)

With the revolution (It's all about resolution)

Talkin' 'bout the revolution

Get it on, get it on, get it on, get it on
With the revolution (Revolution)

Get it on, get it on, get it on, get it on
With the revolution (Talkin' 'bout the revolution)

Get it on, get it on, get it on, get it on
With the revolution (Here's your own, to the
revolution)

Revolution
Get it on, get it on, get it on, get it on
With the revolution (Talkin' 'bout a revolution, baby)

Get it on, get it on, get it on, get it on
With the revolution (Here's your own, to the
revolution)

Get it on, get it on, get it on, get it on
With the revolution (With the Revolution)

Revolution yeah, revolution yeah

Get it on, get it on, get it on, get it on

Get it on, get it on, get it on, get it on
With the revolution

Get it on, get it on, get it on, get it on
With the revolution (Get it on, get it on, get it on)


8.Handsome Man

Hello. Did you miss me?
I know I'm hard to resist
Y'all can come and help me pick the sweetcorn out of this.
It's hard to be humble
When you're so fucking big
Did you ever meet a sexier male chauvinist pig

I'm gonna milk it till I turn it into cheese
Tell your babes in arms and OAP's
Come take a piece of me

If you drop me I'll fall to pieces on you
If you don't see me I don't exist
It's nice to meet you
Now let me go and wash my hands
Cause you just met the world's most handsome man
The world's most handsome man

Y'all know who I am
I'm still the boy next door
That's if you're Lord Litchfield and Roger Moore
If I've gone up in the world
Or is the world gone down on me
I'm the one who put the Brits in celebrity

Give in and love it
What's the point in hating me
You can't argue with popularity
Well you could
But you'd be wrong

If you drop me I'll fall to pieces on you
If you don't need me I don't exist
You voted for me
Now let me see a show of hands
Keeping for your stands

Can you make me laugh and sign this autograph
Though it's not for me
Flip a grin, shake a thing, name a shame
Then I'm out of here
It's not very complicated
I'm just young and overrated

Please don't drop me I'll fall to pieces on you
If you don't see me I don't exist
It's nice to meet you
Now let me go and wash my hands
Cause you just met the world's most handsome man
Keeping for your stands
Please don't drop me I'll fall to pieces on you
If you don't need me I don't exist
It's nice to meet you
Now let me go and wash my hands
Cause you just met the world's most handsome man
The world's most handsome man
The world's most handsome man
The world's most handsome man


9.Come Undone

So unimpressed but so in awe
Such a saint but such a whore
So self aware so full of shit
So indecisive so adamant
I'm contemplating thinking about thinking
It's so frustrating just get another drink in
Watch me come undone

They're selling razor blades and mirrors in the street
Pray that when I'm coming down you'll be asleep
If I ever hurt you your revenge will be so sweet
Because I'm scum
And I'm your son
I come undone
I come undone

So rock and roll so corporate suit
So damn ugly, so damn cute
So well trained, so animal
So need your love, so fuck you all
I'm not scared of dying I just don't want to
If I stopped lying I'd just disappoint you
I come undone

They're selling razor blades and mirrors in the street
I pray that when I'm coming down you'll be asleep
If I ever hurt you your revenge will be so sweet
Because I'm scum
And I'm your son
I've come undone

So write another ballad
Mix it on a Wednesday
Sell it on a Thursday
Buy a yacht by Saturday
It's a love song
A love song
Do another interview
Sing a bunch of lies
Tell about celebrities that I despise
And sing love Songs
We sing love Songs
So sincere
So sincere

They're selling razor blades and mirrors in the street
Pray that when I'm coming down you'll be asleep
If I ever hurt you your revenge will be so sweet
Because I'm scum
I'm your son
I've come undone
I've come undone
I've come undone
I've come undone
I am scum
Love your son
I am scum
Love your son
You've gotta love my sad song, my love song
My sad song, my love song, my sad song, my love song


10.Me and My Monkey

It was me and my monkey
And with his dungarees and roller blades
Smokin' filtered tips,
Reclining in the passenger seat of my super-charged
Jet-black Chevrolet
He had the soft top down
He liked the wind in his face
He said, 'Son, you ever been to Vegas.'
I said, 'No.'
He said, 'That's where we're gonna go.
You need a change of pace.'

And when we hit the strip
With all the wedding chapels and the neon signs
He said, 'I left my wallet in El Segundo.'
And proceeded to take two grand of mine

We made tracks to the Mandalay Bay Hotel
Asked the bellboy if he'd take me and my monkey as
well
He looked into the passenger seat of my car
And with a smile he said,
'If your monkey's got that kind of money, sir
Then we've got a monkey bed'

Me and my monkey
With a dream and a gun
I'm helpin' my monkey
Don't point that gun at anyone
Me and my monkey, like Butch and the Sundance Kid
Tryin' to understand why he did what he did
Why he did what he did

And at the elevator
I hit the 33rd floor
He had a room up top with the panoramic views
Like nothing you've ever seen before

He went asleep in the bidet
And when he awoke
He ran his little monkey fingers through the yellow
pages
Called up escort services and ordered some
Okie Doke

Forty minutes later,
There came a knock at the door
In walked this big, bad-ass baboon into my bedroom
With three monkey whores

'Hi, my name is Sunshine
These are my girls
Lace my palm with silver, baby
Oh yeah, and then I'll rock your world'

So, I watched pay-per-view
And polished my shoes and my gun
Was diggin' on Kurt Cobain sing about Lithium
There came a knock at the door and in walked Sunshine

'What's up?'
'You'd better get you ass in here, boy
Your monkey's havin' too much of a good time'

Me and my monkey
Drove in search of the sun
Me and my monkey
Don't point that gun at anyone
Me and my monkey
Like Billy the Kid
Tryin' to understand
Why he did what he did
Why he did what he did

Got tickets to see Sheena Easton
The monkey was high
Said it was a burnin' ambition to see her
Before he died
We left before encores
He couldn't sit still
Sheena was a blast, baby
But my monkey was ill

When I played blackjack
Kept hittin' 23
Couldn't help but notice
This Mexican just starin' at me
Now was it my monkey
I couldn't be sure
It's not like he'd ever seen a monkey in roller blades

And dungarees before

Now don't test my patience
'Cause we're not about to run
That's a bad ass monkey, baby
And he's packin' a gun
'My name is Rodriguez,' he says
With death in his eye
'I've been chasin' you for a long time amigos
And now your monkey's gonna die'

Me and my monkey
Drove in search of the sun
Me and my monkey
We don't wanna kill no Mexican
But we've got
Ten antsy fingers and walked into the kill
When the monkey is high
You do not stare,
You do not stare

You do not stare

Looks like we got ourselves a Mexican stand-off here,
boy
And I ain't about to run
Put your gun down boy
How did I get mixed up with this fuckin' monkey anyhow


11.Song 3

Come join the band
Come shag the damned
God I blow them away
A heart of chrome
A broken home
I got plenty to say

Who are you doing?
Don't spoil my day
A bigger better offer baby
He's on his way
You gotta love LA

I feel gigantic
Gonna burst a vein
I'm stopping traffic
'Cause they dig the fame
And I'm just the same

So Ebay baby
Haven't seen you lately
Do you still give it away
So get my peeps
To call your peeps
'Cause we've got nothing to say

Don't feed the models
Don't look at police
Don't go to Crenshaw boule
'Cause whitey can get fleeced
God I love LA

I feel gigantic
Gonna burst a vein
I'm stopping traffic
'Cause I dig the fame
I'm hearing voices, voices
Like a jumbo jay
Too many choices, choices
Gotta love LA
Californi-a .. USA baby

Who you doing baby?
Don't spoil my day
You've been gloating lately baby
And I dig LA
I'd have to say

I feel gigantic
Gonna burst a vein
I'm stopping traffic
I kinda dig the fame
I'm hearing voices voices
I've gotta jumbo jay
Too many choices, choices
Gotta love LA
Californi-a
USA
USA
USA


12.Hot Fudge

Queen Bitch eat the rich
I'm on the second course today
I'm not the first and I won't be the worst
She's done most of L.A.
Can't find a virgin, I can get you a surgeon
24 Hours a day.
Collagen Jeanie you big lip meanie
I'm about to be blown away
Come on sing it

Take me to the place where the sunshine flows
Oh my Sunset Rodeo

Hot Fudge, here comes the judge
Theres a green card in the way
The Holy Ghost and the whole East Coast
Are moving to L.A.
Coz we've been dreaming of this feeling since 1988
Mother, things have got to change,
I'm moving to L.A.

Take the piss always English
God Bless you Uncle Sam
You got a cool gene pool and our winter is cruel
And God knows I love to tan
Making cents and dead Presidents
Before I could count to ten
With a nation behind me can't stop the limey
She's on her back again
Come on sing it

Take me to the place where the sunshine flows
Oh my Sunset Rodeo

Hot Fudge, here comes the judge
Theres a green card in the way

13.Cursed

Dig your polished nails into the dirt
Rip your skirt off, wipe the hurt off
You know it tears my heart out when you
Flirt with danger and any stranger

You're not as stupid as I look
Before I could read, you wrote the book

Cursed, since your birth dear
And your worst fears have all come true

Held my hand when I got my first tattoo
I was naked when it penetrated
Told everyone I'd slept with you
Thought you'd like it, knew you wouldn't deny it

St Peter's gonna be unfaithful
Tell God he's got a dirty angel

Cursed, since your birth dear
And your worst fears have all come true
Babe you're not the first here on earth dear
'Cause I'm still here and I'm cursed too,
cursed like you

Hush, baby sleep now
We all love you we always did

Cursed, since your birth dear
And your worst fears have all come true
Babe you're not the first here on earth dear
'Cause I'm still here
And I'm cursed too, cursed like you

Hush, baby sleep now
We all miss you, we always will


14.Nan's Song

You said when you'd die that you'd walk with me every day
And I'd start to cry and say please don't talk that way
With the blink of an eye the Lord came and asked you to meet
You went to a better place but He stole you away from me

And now she lives in heaven
But I know they let her out
To take care of me

There's a strange kind of light
Caressing me tonight
Pray silence my fear she is near
Bringing heaven down here

I miss your love I miss your touch
But I'm feeling you every day
And I can almost hear you say
'You've come a long way baby'

And now you live in heaven
But I know they let you out
To take care of me

There's a strange kind of light
In my bedroom tonight
Pray silence my fear she is near
Bring your heaven down here

You taught me kings and queens
While stroking my hair
In my darkest hour I know you are there
Kneeling down beside me
Whispering my prayer

Yes there's a strange kind of light
Caressing me tonight
Pray silence my fear
She is near
Bringing heaven down here

The next time that we meet
I will bow at her feet
And say wasn't life sweet
Then we'll prepare
To take heaven down there
