1.Last Rockers
作词:David John Bateman, Beki Bondage
Stumbling through the rubble
My head's in a spin
I hear them fighting
The war that no one can win
I'm too young to die
Too late to live
As politicians do the thing
No God can forgive
Time has come for us to die
Norma Ray is left to cry
No chance of a rebirth
All the last rockers
Hit and chant when they drop there bomb
Let us burn and smelter too
When we stir in the small radiation
They wanna ruin the whole recreation
Time for has come for us to die
Norma Ray is left to cry
No chance of a rebirth
All the last rockers
Wandering 'round without a key
All we ever wanted was to be free
Our music was our only joy
And the governments want to search and destroy
Stumbling through the rubble
My head's in a spin
I hear them fighting
No war, no one can win
I'm too young to die
Too late to live
As politicians do the thing
No God can forgive
On our statues still remind
Those who may come in future time
And we who fort on city streets
Have perished in atomic heat
Time for has come for us to die
Norma Ray is left to cry
No chance of a rebirth
All the last rockers
They cannot burn me from my kind
No dreams of power to control my mind
Last rockers rule the world now
There's no one left to fight now
2.Stand Strong Stand Proud
作词:David John Bateman, Rebecca Louise Bond
They'll tell you now you're old enough
You should settle down
They'll take away your dignity
So you'll always face the ground
Stand strong, stand proud
Chant your feelings loud
Stand strong, stand proud
Don't accept the crowd
Stand strong, stand proud
We'll rise and they shall fall
Stand strong, stand proud
One day we'll show them all
They'll offer an alternative
Promises that never end
But is it what you really want?
Their smiles are all pretense
Stand strong, stand proud
Chant your feelings loud
Stand strong, stand proud
Don't accept the crowd
Stand strong, stand proud
We'll rise and they shall fall
Stand strong, stand proud
One day we'll show them all
They think they'll get you on the cheap
But who are they to tell?
It's time for you to up your price
You've only got yourself
They'll say that all you lived for
Has deserted you and died
Within you it will always live
Your source of strength and pride
Stand strong, stand proud
Chant your feelings loud
Stand strong, stand proud
Don't accept the crowd
Stand strong, stand proud
We'll rise and they shall fall
Stand strong, stand proud
One day we'll show them all
3.We Came, We Saw
We got no security
But nothings certain anyway
Got to live from day to day - okay
Dedications absolute
Here we are the living proof
Face to face to tell the truth to you
We came, we saw
We're ready and we're back for more
Join hands and stand
Together one for all
They steal our creativity
Sentence us to poverty
It's legal daylight robbery you see
The page was written long ago
A script for life
A minor role
Still we got time to take control, I know...
4.Someone Else
I try to get my foot on the ladder
Try climbing up the greasy pole
One step forward, ten steps backwards
Retrograde rock 'n' roll
It's so hard living on the breadline
Harder still if you're stuck below
Lose your mind in the daily grind
Oh what a way to go
Someone else has all our money
Someone else is cashing in
Honesty's no policy
For hangers on and middle men
So keep your mouth shut and just listen
Everybody's standing still
You telephone your words of wisdom
But words won't pay my bills
You got where you are because of me
I'll get there inspite of you
'Though I have to work ten times harder
To be told I'm half as good
5.Superficial People
She cut her hair in the latest style
'Though it did not suit her face
It got her one condescending smile
Put her right back in her place
Why be a blank page in an open book
Come judgement day it won't matter how you look
We're superficial people
Modern and modified
We're superficial people
Gift wrapped garbage
Cut and dried
He got the cash and the arrogance
Yeah he even sold his soul
Can't measure up to what they want
'Cause they always move the goal
Why be a wage slave to factory or firm
Come dying day it won't matter what you earn
We're superficial people
Stunted and stupefied
We're superficial people
Blackmailed, bribed and beautified
It's all designed to keep you down
Though you think that you're content
Spend your life waiting in a queue
But you never reach the end...........
6.Fresh Air
They told us no future and that's what we've got
It don't seem so glamorous now
Our rags turned to rags, we never saw riches
We lost them somehow
Less than ordinary bargain baby
In second hand charity chic
Although they've got nothing still it's worth trying
To keep cheerful and cheap
Oh look at you and me
Misfit society
Is this all we were meant to be?
We need a breath of fresh air
Jump off the train to nowhere
The faceless and nameless wanna be famous
They've got to be out of their minds
To crawl on the treadmill all the way up hill
Right to the finishing line
Reach from the future, tell us we made it
None of it went to waste
Give us the years, the days and the minutes
Backdated and back paid
7.Lo-Fi Life
Life is complicated
Yours is underrated
The less you have, the less you get
There ain't no safety net
Pleasure never tasted
All the time you wasted
Got to pass the means test
Lowest of the lowest
Endless night money always tight
In the city limits
Lo-Fi life how can you survive
How're you gonna live it
Acid rain on concrete
Burning holes in your street
Ranting politician
Won't build a better Britain
The people at the bottom
Bound to be forgotten
Better try to have some fun
Ten seconds in the sun
Endless night money always tight
In the city limits
Lo-Fi life how can you survive
How're you gonna live it
Big high rise blocking out the light
In the city limits
Lo-Fi life how can you survive
How're you gonna live it
Oh oh this is a lo-fi life
Oh oh low lo-fi life
Oh oh you're in for life
8.Street Cred
Tell yourself you're special
Mr. Individual
Feed your little ego
Be a paper hero
Street Cred's long dead
Huge success for excess Max Factor man
Too safe, two faced
Corporate clone's monotone means nothing
New face on the cover
Think he's someone's brother
Catalogue of boredom
Telling us we want some
Same message
Re-packaged
Same message
Re-packaged
9.Where Are They All Now?
All boys together, I was odd girl out
Playing with fire, playing too loud
Living on nothing, surviving on dreams
My mind is a waste land of what should have been
Where are they all now
Does anybody know?
We had some good times
Going against the flow
He played out of time, he sang out of tune
Spent all his rent on a new tattoo
He got into drugs late, then got a new girl
Played mummies and daddies just for the thrill
I never believed we'd end up like this
As I lie on my bed and reminisce
The years go by, for better or worse
Has it been a blessing or a killer curse?
10.He Said, She Said
Do you ever stop to consider
All the damage that you do
When all your wicked whispers just ain't true
Can't turn my back incase you bite
Face to face you lose the fight
Your mind is closed - your mouth is open wide
He said, she said - He said, she said
Another lie to push us under
Your false witness takes the stand
He said, she said selling slander
Oh oh oh oh..
Does it ever make you wonder
If it's all just jealousy
Makes you sneer at what you'll never be
Got a bitter twisted tongue
You like to bad mouth everyone
Stirring trouble's your idea of fun
He said, she said - He said, she said
A love life of pure fabrication
Dine out on exaggeration
For dessert have someone's reputation
He said, she said - He said, she said
11.Submerge
You're average you're nothing much
They like you cold and untouched
Killers of dreams and self esteem
Human being or work machine?
There is an empty space
Right where your soul should be
There's only dark disgrace
Right where the sun should be
Close confined
Slaves to the grind
All defined
By narrow minds
Afraid to fall
Afraid of pain
Only born
To die again
There is an empty space
Right where your soul should be
There's only dark disgrace
Right where the sun should be
Left over lives still in their cages
Left over lives
Unwritten pages
There's only dark disgrace
Warn out and wasted.........
12.Back In The Cage
Tell me to compromise
And force my face to fit
Listen to the ones
Who only write about it
You make me feel like a caged animal
When I want to get away
You fuck me over when I fight for a future
Won't forget about yesterday
Back in the cage
I know you can't define
The indefinable
Stand still and I'll be
Commercially viable
You make me feel like a caged animal
When I want to get away
You fuck me over when I fight for a future
Won't forget about yesterday
I have to work so hard for survival
To keep my integrity
You make me part of another revival
No way forward, no sincerity
Cut- cut- cut me down
To the size I should be
While you live in the past
Looking for a parody
