Groovy Times

THE HIGH STREET SHOPS ARE BOARDED UP
AN’ THE TERRACE IT IS FENCED IN
SEE-THROUGH SHIELDS ARE WALLED ACROSS
THE WAY THAT YOU CAME IN
BUT THERE’S NO NEED TO GET EXCITED

AS THE LORRIES BRING THE BACON IN
‘COS THE HOUSEWIVES ARE ALL SINGING
GROOVY TIMES ARE HERE AGAIN

THEY DISCOVERED ONE BLACK SATURDAY
THAT MOBS DON’T MARCH THEY RUN
SO YOU CAN EXCUSE THE NERVOUS TRIGGERMAN
JUST THIS ONCE FOR JUMPING THE GUN
AS THEY WERE PICKING UP THE DEAD
OUT OF THE BROKEN GLASS
YES IT’S NUMBER ONE, THE RADIO SAID
GROOVY TIMES HAVE COME TO PASS!

GROOVY TIMES GROOVY TIMES GROOVY TIMES

THE INTAKE IS ON THE UPTAKE
THE ACCELERATION’S PRETTY GRIM
I CAN REMEMBER HIS FIRST APPEARANCE
NOW LOOK WHAT’S HAPPENED TO HIM
SO THEY PUT HIM IN A DOG SUIT
LIKE FROM 1964
THE KING OF EARLY EVENING TV
GROOVY TIMES FOREVER MORE

GROOVY TIMES

Gates of the West

 would love to be the lucky one on chill
avenue
Who could keep your heart warm when ice has turned it blue
But with the beggin’ sleeping losers as they turn in for the night
I’m looking back for home and I can see the lights

I should be jumpin’ shoutin’ that I made it all this way
From Camden town station to 44th and 8th
Not many make it this far and many say we’re great
But just like them we walk on an’ we can’t escape our fate
Can’t you hear the sighing
Eastside Jimmy and Southside Sue
Both say they needed something new

So I’m standing at the gates of the west
I burn money at the lights of the sign
The city casts a shadow of the perfect crime
I’m standing at the gates of the east
I take my pulse and the pulse of my friend
The city casts a shadow, will I see you again?

The immigrants an’ remnants of all the glory years
Are clustered around the bar again for another round of beers
Little Richard’s in the kitchen playing spoons and plates
He’s telling the waitress he’s great

Ah say i know somewhere back’n’forth in time
Out on the dustbowls, deep in the roulette mine
Or in a ghetto cellar only yesterday
There’s a move into the future for the USA.

I hear them crying
Eastside Jimmy and Southside Sue
Both said they needed something new

Standing at the gates of the west
In the shadow again
I’m standing at the gates of the west
In the shadow again

Four Horsemen

Well they were given the grapes that go ripe in
the sun
That loosen the screws at the back of the tongue
But they told no one where they had begun-four horsemen

They were given al lthe foods of vanity
And all the instant promises of immortality
Buyt they bit the dust screamin’ insanity!-four horsemen

One was over the edge, one was over the cliff
One was lickin’ em dry with a bloody great spliff
When they picked up the hiker he didn’t want the lift
From the horsemen

But you!
You’re not searching, are you now?
You’re not looking anyhow
You’re never gonna ride that lonely mile
Or put yourself up on trial
Oh, you told me how your life was so bad
An’ I agree that it does seem sad
But that’s the price that you gotta pay
If you’re lazing all around all day
Four horsement coming right through
Four horsemen and they’re pissing by you
They make you look like you’re wearing a truss
Four hosemen and it’s gonna be us

Well they gave useverything for bending the mind
ANd we cleaned out their pockets and we drank ‘em blind
IT’s a long way to the finish so don’t get left behind
By those horsemen

And they gave us the grapes that went ripe in the sun
That loosen the scews at the back of the tongue
But we still told nothing ‘bout what was to come
Four horsemen

Drug Stabbing Time

Drug stabbing time
Well I got working on the Ford line
A paying off the big fine
Drug stabbin’ time

Drug stabbin’ time
Is from nine to nine
Nobody wantsa user
Nobody needs a loser
So kick him out that door
An’ don’t answer it no more

Drug stabbin’ time
It’s a Greenwich Mean Time
Your friends all hate each other you think
You’ve got another
But who’s at the door?
Don’t answer it no more

Drug stabbin time
In a bedroom crime
There’s a tape recording on a telephone line
An’ it’s ringin from the floor
So don’t answer it no more

Now I was lying in my room
It was raining drugs all afternoon.
I hear this car pull up outside
Comes to a stop like, skreeee

Someone’s in a hurry
‘N someone better worry
‘Cos these four guys all had on their feet
A pair of black shoes shining and neat
I thinks

Blackshoes on
No that’s bad news
Here they come charging up the stairs alright
Sonny just tell us where

Drug stabbin time
Don’t ask me mate
Working on the Ford line
Paying off the big fine
Drug stabbin’ time
