Get me out of this place Anywhere you wanna go Pack me in a suitcase And fly me to Mexico Running from the rat race On a long holiday Head into the heatwave You’ve got it, you’ve got it You’ve got it for sure But you won’t have for long Unless it’s nailed to the floor They’re gunning, they’re gunning They’re gunning for you Cos the rules don’t apply When you’re outside the law Get me out of this place Anywhere you wanna go Pack me in a suitcase And fly me to Mexico Running from the rat race On a long holiday Head into the heatwave If this world wasn’t so disjointed I could see I could stay with you there But the faces look so disappointed Oh the day will not come, when I don’t have to run You’ve got it, you’ve got it You’ve got it for sure But you won’t have for long Unless it’s nailed to the floor They’re gunning, they’re gunning They’re gunning for you Cos the rules don’t apply When you’re outside the law Get me out of this place Anywhere you wanna go Pack me in a suitcase And fly me to Mexico Running from the rat race On a long holiday Head into the heatwave

You Won't Find A Girlfriend On The Dancefloor 04:33
lyrics

Hot seat, the sweat is all around you (moving bodies) Can’t breathe, the atmosphere is suffocating (all the while) They seek, looking for the next arrival But you can’t do it, no. No, no, no. Hot feet, treading like true survivors (straight to it) On heat, looking for a small advantage (all the while) You peek, Feeling like the poor relation Cos you can’t do it, no. No, no, no. Oh I know you won’t find a girlfriend on the dancefloor You can’t do it, can’t do it, no. But every Friday night that’s what you are here for And you can’t do it, can’t do it, no. No more No more No more Those kids, they can’t question your commitment (can’t do it) Your hope, stamina and resilience (which undermine) Good sense, for all your best intentions…. You can’t do it, no No, no, no. Oh I know you won’t find a girlfriend on the dancefloor You can’t do it, can’t do it, no. But every Friday night that’s what you are here for And you can’t do it, can’t do it, no. No more No more No more Oh I know you won’t find a girlfriend on the dancefloor You can’t do it, can’t do it, no. But every Friday night that’s what you are here for And you can’t do it, can’t do it, no. No more No more No more Oh I know you won’t find your girl on the dancefloor

Meet Crazy Dave 03:27
lyrics
buy track
So you’re gonna meet crazy Dave He’ll be your friend from cradle to grave And he will drink you under the table Spin you ‘round ‘til you’re not stable So you wanna meet crazy Dave? Give your liver a wave You’re gonna walk from the Bell to the working man’s club To the Oddies then back again. Oh you know he’s just an ordinary guy And his children are the apple of his eye He’s just a sucker for the simple things in life And who’d complain or deny? Not I… So you’re gonna meet crazy Dave He knows not how to behave He’s a metrosexual lover of life With a tongue that’s like a knife So you wanna meet crazy Dave If he’s horny then you’re not safe So lock up your sons and daughters my friend And warn your wife to stay away Oh you know he’s just an ordinary guy And his children are the apple of his eye He’s just a sucker for the simple things in life And who’d complain or deny? Not I… So you’re gonna meet crazy Dave Then you’re gonna have to meet his mates They’re a mercenary vagabond bunch Of beggars and party slaves So you really wanna meet the man? Are you sure you wanna meet the man? So you really wanna meet the man? Are you brave enough to meet the man?

On a Sunday Morning 04:26
lyrics

Sunday morning Cold wind blowing outside All the new generation Get their fix of exercise The big kids are doing alright cos they still think it's Saturday night On a Sunday morning On a Sunday morning Superfood for breakfast Dried fruit cereal bars All the new generation are tying bikes to the roof of their cars While the big kids are feeling alright cos they're still living Saturday night On a Sunday morning On a Sunday morning Sunday morning big kids count up the bottles and cans In a well oiled ritual held in honour of the brother man The new generation they all think it's a little bit sad La la la la la la, la la la la la la. Look out. Twenty miles is painless Half is a piece of cake Celebrate with a cocktail Of low fat protein shakes The big kids are doing alright cos they still think it's Saturday night On a Sunday morning On a Sunday morning La la la la la la, la la la la la la. Look out.

Things that you said things that you said Stuck in my head Stuck in my head Brother I hope you find the peace that you yearn for Brother I hope you find the peace that you yearn for Brother I hope you find the peace that you yearn for Brother I hope you find the peace that you yearn for A man has not a friend Without a soul with which to share A house is not a home without a soul existing there This brother has no peace because he'll chase the rainbows end This brother has no peace Because he'll chase his only friend The warmth of your bed Warmth of your bed Your heart feels like lead heart feels like lead All you want's a bit of peace of mind Brother don't you know All the lost hours you put into it and there's nothing to show and boy right now it feels like it's starting to go Things that you said things that you said Stuck in my head Stuck in my head Brother I hope you find the peace that you yearn for Brother I hope you find the peace that you yearn for Brother I hope you find the peace that you yearn for Brother I hope you find the peace that you yearn for A man has not a friend Without a soul with which to share A house is not a home without a soul existing there This brother has no peace because he'll chase the rainbows end This brother has no peace Because he'll chase his only friend

If you see me looking at you And the devil is in my eye honey It’s not what it seems It’s not what it seems If you catch me checking you over Whenever you walk on by honey That’s not what I mean That’s not what I mean Because you lift me up And then you knock me out Oh I’m a slave to my feelings That’s what it’s all about And it’s driving me crazy So help me out Oh honey I’m a freakshow Oh honey I’m a freakshow If you find me playing the clown Whenever you’re around It’s not what it seems It’s not what it seems If it’s like I’m making you laugh By putting others down honey That’s not really me That’s not really me I can’t help myself You knock me out Oh I’m a slave to my feelings That’s what it’s all about And it’s driving me crazy So help me out Oh honey I’m a freakshow Oh honey I’m a freakshow If you find me hanging around When I should be somewhere else That’s not what it seems It’s not what it seems And one too many coincidences Make you doubt yourself honey That’s not what I mean That’s not what I mean It’s just you lift me up And then you knock me out Oh I’m a slave to my feelings That’s what it’s all about And it’s driving me crazy So help me out Oh honey I’m a freakshow Oh honey I’m a freakshow
