Cheat

I GET VIOLENT WHEN I’M FUCKED UP
I GET SILENT WHEN I’M DRUGGED UP
WANT EXCITEMENT, DON’T GET NONE, I GO WILD

I DON’T KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT
IF YOU PLAY THE GAME YOU GET NOTHING OUT OF IT
FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF TRY BEIN’ A GOODY GOODY

YOU BETTER CHEAT CHEAT
NO REASON TO PLAY FAIR
CHEAT CHEAT OR DON’T GET ANYWHERE
CHEAT CHEAT IF YOU CAN’T WIN

NOBODY KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING
IT’S BEYOND YOUR CONTROL, AN’ FRIDAY NIGHT’S A RUIN
IF YOU WANNA SURVIVE YOU BETTER LEARN HOW TO LIE

DON’T USE THE RULES
THEY’RE NOT FOR YOU, THEY’RE FOR THE FOOLS
AND YOU’RE A FOOL IF YOU DON’T KNOW THAT
SO USE THE RULE YOU STUPID FOOL

Cheapskates

I have been a washer up
An’ he has been a scrubber up
An’ I seen him a picking up
Dog ends in the rain
An’ he has never read a book
Though I told him to take a look
He lifted his poolhall cue
For another game
But it ain’t no modern miracle
That we found the golden rule
What you can’t buy you gotta steal
An’ what you say can’t steal you better leave

I don’t like to hang about
In this lonely room
‘Cos london is for going out
And trying to hear a tune
But people come pouncing up to me
And say what are you doing here
You’re supposed to be a star
Not a cheapskate bleeding queer

Like a load of rats from a sinking ship
You slag us down to save your hip
But you don’t give me the benfit
Of your doubt
‘Cos I’ll bite it off and spit it out

We’re cheapskates anything’ll do
We’re cheapskates what are we supposed to do?
An’ we can rock
Hey hey let’s roll
An’ we can walk
An’ do the stroll

Just because we’re in a group
You think we’re stinking rich
‘N we all got model girls
Shedding every stitch
‘N You think the cocaine’s flowing
Like a river up our noses
‘N every sea will part for us
Like the red one did for Moses

Well I hope you make it one day
Just like you always said you would some day
And I’ll get out my money and make a bet
That I’ll be seein’ you down the launderette

Capital Radio (One/Two)

YES, IT’S TIME FOR THE DR. GOEBBELS
SHOW!

THERE’S A TOWER IN THE HEART OF LONDON
WITH A RADIO STATION RIGHT AT THE TOP
THEY DON’T MAKE THE CITY BEAT
THEY’RE MAKING ALL THE ACTION STOP

A LONG TIME AGO THERE WERE PIRATES
BEAMING WAVES FROM THE SEA
BUT NOW ALL THE STATIONS ARE SILENCED
‘COS THEY AIN’T GOT A GOVERNMENT LICENSE

WANNA TELL YOUR PROBLEMS
PHONE IN FROM YOUR BEDSIT ROOM
HAVING TROUBLE WITH YOUR PARTNER
LET US ALL IN ON THE NEWS

IF YOU WANNA HEAR A RECORD
GET THE WORD FROM AIDEN DAY
HE PICKS ALL THE HITS TO PLAY
TO KEEP YOU IN YOUR PLACE ALL DAY

CAPITAL RADIO
IN TUNE WITH NOTHING
DON’T TOUCH THAT DIAL
