Rude boy's outta jail
Rude boy's outta jail
Rude boy's out on bail
Rude boy's outta jail
They mess around in every town
But now they've learned the rules
They used to be rough, they used to be tough
But now they're keeping cool
They don't fight, they look just right
In their tonics and button downs
If you see them around, don't put them down
They're the coolest guys in town
Rude boy's outta jail
Rude boy's outta jail
Rude boy's out on bail
Rude boy's outta jail
They mess around in every town
But now they've learned the rules
They used to be rough, they used to be tough
But now they're keeping their cool

This is the dawning of a new era
This is the dawning of a new era
I met a girl from area three
She told me that she worked in a chicken factory
This is the dawning of a new era
By two o'clock we were Brahms & Liszt
Had to walk her home through area six
This is the dawning of a new era
Sticks and stones may break my bones
In area six they throw bottles and bricks and kicks
This is the dawning of a new era
I climbed the stairs to the fourteenth floor
The key won't fit the door
This is the dawning of a new era
She said she had a beautiful flat
We had to sleep on the mat
This is the dawning of a new era
Woke up and thought "This ain't exactly heaven"
Oh shit, this is area seven
This is the dawning of a new era
This is the dawning of a new era
This is the dawning of a new era
This is so boring, it's a new era

Out of bed at eight am
Out my head by half past ten
Out with mates and dates and friends
That's what I do at weekends
I can't talk and I can't walk
But I know where I'm going to go
I'm going watch my money go
At the Locarno, no
When my feet go through the door
I know what my right arm is for
Buy a drink and pull a chair
Up to the edge of the dance floor
Bouncers bouncing through the night
Trying to stop or start a fight
I sit and watch the flashing lights
Moving legs in footless tights
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning
I like to venture into town
I like to get a few drinks down
The floor gets packed the bar gets full
I don't like life when things get dull
The hen party have saved the night
And freed themselves from drunken stags
Having fun and dancing in
A circle round their leather bags
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning
But two o'clock has come again
It's time to leave this paradise
Hope the chip shop isn't closed
Cos' their pies are really nice
I'll eat in the taxi queue
Standing in someone else's spew
Wish I had lipstick on my shirt
Instead of piss stains on my shoes
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning

One, two
One, two
If you ever hear a noise in the night
Your body starts to sweat
It shakes and shivers in fright
You go and sleep with your mother, she hates your guts
She knows that you love her so she holds you tight
All through the night, until the broad daylight
And when she doesn't come home you have to sleep alone
Then you wet your bed, and I think that's sad
For a girl of nineteen it's more than sad
It's obscene
One, two
And your girlfriend sweet little seventeen
She's got her layered hair, and her flared jeans
You know what that means?
She's just a little queen
She shares your London flat
She thinks that London's where it's at
Although it stinks and when it rains, you wear your hat
And your plum coloured PVC wet-look maxi-mac
You tie your ginger hair back in a bun
You're the ugliest creature
Under the sun
One, two, go
One, two
And you think it's about time that you died
And I agree, so you decide on suicide
You tried but you never quite carried it off
You only wanted to die in order to show off
And if you think you're gonna bleed all over me
You're even wronger than you'd normally be
And the only things you want to see are kitsch
The only thing you want to be is rich
Your little pink up-pointed nose begins to twitch
I know, you know, you're just a little bitch
One, two

J.B., and he's ready to sock it to ya one time
Sock it to 'em, sock it to 'em

Sock it to 'em, sock it to 'em
Sock it to 'em, sock it to 'em
Sock it to 'em, sock it to 'em
Dr. No, from Russia with love, gold finger
Thunder ball, Casino Royal
Soul jerk, shake your hips
Shake your body line to the ground, J.B. style
Soulful, oh mamma you doin' it good
You doin' it right, you doin' it J.B. style
Soulful
Sock it to 'em, sock it to 'em
Sock it to 'em, sock it to 'em
Sock it to 'em, sock it to 'em
Sock it to 'em, sock it to 'em

Diamonds are forever, Moon raker
Man with the golden gun
Live and let die
Spy who loved me, you only live twice
J.B's got you doin' the bossanova
J.B's got you doin' the scratch
So let me see you rock
And let me see you shake it to J.B's rock
Soulful
Sock it to 'em, sock it to 'em
Sock it to 'em, sock it to 'em
Sock it to 'em, sock it to 'em

You're wondering now
What to do, now you know this is the end
You're wondering how
You will pay, for the way you did behave
Curtain has fallen
Now you're on your own
I won't return
Forever you will wait
You're wondering now
What to do, now you know this is the end
Curtain has fallen, now you're on your own
I won't return, forever you will wait
You're wondering now, what to do
Now you know this is the end
You're wondering how, you will pay
For the way you did behave
You're wondering now, what to do
Now you know this is the end

Bernie Rhodes knows Don't Argue
Why must you record my phone calls?
Are you planning a bootleg LP?
Said you've been threatened by gangsters
Now it's you, that's threatening me
Can't fight corruption with con tricks
They use the law to commit crime
And I dread, dread to think what the future will bring
When we're living in gangster time
Don't call me scar face
Can't interrupt while I'm talking
Or they'll confiscate all your guitars
And Catch 22 says if I sing the truth
They won't make me an overnight star
Don't offer us legal protection
They use the law to commit crime
I dread to think what the future will bring
When we're living in real gangster time
Bernie Rhodes knows Don't Argue

Warning, warning, nuclear attack
Atomic sounds designed to blow your mind
World War Three.
Nuclear attack
Rocking atomically
This Third World War, atomic sounds.
The man in black he told me the latest Moscow news
About the storm across the red sea they drove their ball point views
I'm the man in grey, I'm just the man at C & A
And I don't have a say in the war games that they play.
Warning, warning, nuclear attack
Shark attack to hit you on your back.
World War Three.
The Mickey Mouse badge told, Ayatollah at his feet
You drink your oil you schmuck, we'll eat our heads of wheat
But I'm the man in grey, I'm just the man at C & A
And I don't have a say in the war games that they play.
Boom shakalaka boom
Nuclear nuclear, nuclear war.
Warning, warning, nuclear attack
The boom never ban

I'm going out tonight
I don't know if I'll be alright
Everyone wants to hurt me
Baby danger in the city
I have to carry a knife
Because there's people threatening my life
I can't dress just the way I want
I'm being chased by the national front
Concrete jungle, animals are after me
Concrete jungle, it ain't safe on the streets
Concrete jungle, glad I got my mates with me
I won't fight for a cause
Don't want to change the law
Leave me alone, just leave me alone
I want to get out on my own
I'm walking home tonight
I only walk where there's lots of lights
In the alleys and the doorways
Some throw a bottle right in your face
Concrete jungle, animals are after me
Concrete jungle, it ain't safe on the streets
Concrete jungle, glad I got my mates with me
I'm walking home tonight
I only walk where there's lots of lights
In the alleys and the doorways
Some throw a bottle right in your face
I won't fight for a cause
I don't want to change the law
Leave me alone, just leave me alone
I want to get out on my own
Concrete jungle, animals are after me
Concrete jungle, it ain't safe on the streets
Concrete jungle, glad I got my mates with me

Why did you try to hurt me?
I got to know
Did you really want to kill me
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Why do we have to fight?
Why must we fight?
I have to defend myself
From attack last night
I know I am black
You know you are white
I'm proud of my black skin
And you are proud of your white, so
Why did you try to hurt me?
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Did you really want to kill me
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
We don't need no British Movement
Nor the Ku Klux Klan
Nor the National Front
It makes me an angry man
I just want to live in peace
Why can't you be the same?
Why should I live in fear?
This fussing and fighting's insane
With a Nazi salute and a steel capped boot
A Nazi salute and a steel capped boot
You follow like sheep inna wolf clothes
You follow like sheep inna wolf clothes
We chase you out the dance hall, we chase you through the door
We chase you out the dance hall, we chase you through the door
Cos' we can't take no more of this at all
Cos' we can't take no more of this at all
With a Nazi salute and a steel capped boot
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
You follow like sheep inna wolf clothes
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
You're too scared to make a speech during the light
Without a thousand police protecting your rights
To threaten and abuse, incite or fight
But who will protect me from you in the night?
Why did you try to hurt me?
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Did you really want to kill me
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
With a Nazi salute and a steel capped boot
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
You follow like sheep inna wolf clothes
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why

Just because you're nobody
It doesn't mean that you're no good
Just because there's a reason
It doesn't mean it's understood
It doesn't make it alright
It doesn't make it alright
It's the worst excuse in the world
And it, it doesn't make it alright
Some people think they're really clever
To smash your head against the wall
Then they say "you got it my way"
They really think they know it all
It doesn't make it alright
It doesn't make it alright
It's the worst excuse in the world
And it, it doesn't make it alright
Just because you're a black boy
Just because you're a white
It doesn't mean you've got to hate him
It doesn't mean you've got to fight
It doesn't make it alright
It doesn't make it alright
It's the worst excuse in the world
And it, it doesn't make it alright
Just because you're nobody

Is this the in place to be?
What am I doing here?
Watching the girls go by, spending money on
Sleep all day
It's the only way
I'm a parasite
I creep about at night
is this the in place to be?
(Nite klub) what am I doing here?
(Nite klub) watching the girls go by, spending money on
Hey, hey, I don't work
'Cause I don't have to
I don't have to work
There's no work to do
I'm a member of the nite klub, oh, oh
(Nite klub) a fully paid-up member of the nite klub
I won't dance in a club like this
All the girls are slags
And the beer tastes just like piss
I'm a parasite (nite klub)
I creep about at night (nite klub)
Yes, I'm a member of the Nite Klub
A fully paid-up member of the Nite Klub
is this the in place to be?

Better think of your future,
Time to straighten right out,

When I woke up this morning alone in my bed
In a cold room with damp sheets, and a pain in my head
I saw you last night and you drove me insane
Why must you hurt me again and again
I've had enough, if I don't come back for more that's tough
Cause I can't stand it, the way you've planned it
No I can't stand it any longer
Sometimes I get so I tired I can't get no sleep
I'm so drunk I can't stand up on my own two feet
I'm feeling so hungry I don't want to eat
You make me so angry I can't even speak
I'll stay at home where I can be alone
Because I just can't stand it, the way you've planned it
No I can't stand it any longer
Try not to cry as I lie in the rain
Feel like walking through walls just to get back home again
I saw you last night and I'll see you again
Maybe you're trying to drive me insane
I've had enough, if I don't come back for more that's tough
Cause I can't take it any more
I'm going home where I can be alone
Because I just can't stand it, no I can't stand it
No I can't stand it any longer

It's plain to see
That is what they mean to me
Madness, madness, they call it gladness, ha-ha
Madness, madness, they call it madness
Madness, madness, they call it madness
I'm about to explain
A-That someone is losing their brain
Hey, madness, madness, I call it gladness, yee-ha-ha-ha
Propaganda ministers
Propaganda ministers
I've a-got a heavy due
I'm gonna walk all over you
'Cause
Madness, madness, they call it madness
Well if this is madness
Then I know I'm filled with gladness
It's gonna be rougher
It's gonna be tougher, pa-da-da, pa-da-da
But I won't be the one who's gonna suffer
Oh no, I won't be the one who's gonna suffer
You are gonna be the one, a-you...

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink
The years go by, as quickly as you wink
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself,
It's later than you think
Hello, I'm Terry,
And I'm going to enjoy myself first
It's good to be wise when you're young
'Cos you can only be young but the once
Enjoy yourself and have lots of fun
So glad and live life longer than you've ever done
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink
The years go by, as quickly as you wink
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself,
It's later than you think
Never right, yes I know
Get wisdom, knowledge and understanding
These three, were given free by the maker
Go to school, learn the rules, don't be no faker
It's not wise for you to be a foot stool
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink
The years go by, as quickly as you wink
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself,
It's later than you think
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink
The years go by, as quickly as you wink
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself,
It's later than you think

Too Hot
This town is too hot
Now they're calllin' for their guns
About to spoil the rude boys funs
But rude boys never give up their guns
It's too hot
No man, can tell them what to do
Pound for pound
They say, they're ruder than you
They are boss, and no back talk
You might have a coffin you like
Choose your burial site
Take insurance, make up your will
Come out and tell them
Fight them
The soldiers came back to you, without them
The police force are afraid
They can't even touch them
They say "You think you're bad?"
"Why don't you come out yourself?"
These boys are looking for a fight
Fighting tonight
They don't lie
It's too hot
Too hot, Too hot
Too hot, Too hot
Too hot, Too hot
Too hot, Too hot
Too hot, Too hot
Too hot, Too hot
Too hot, Too hot
Too hot, Too hot
Too hot.

Each day I walk along this lonely street
Trying to find, find a future
New pair of shoes are on my feet
Cause fashion is my only culture
Nothing ever change, oh no
Nothing ever change
People say to me just be yourself
It makes no sense to follow fashion
How could I be anybody else
I don't try, I've got no reason
Nothing ever change, oh no
Nothing ever change
I'm just living in a life without meaning
I walk and walk, do nothing
I'm just living in a life without feeling
I talk and talk, say nothing
Nothing ever change, oh no
Nothing ever change
I walk along this same old lonely street
Still trying to find, find a reason
Policeman comes and smacks me in the teeth
I don't complain, it's not my function
Nothing ever change, oh no
Nothing ever change
They're just living in a life without meaning
I walk and walk, do nothing
They're just playing in a life without thinking
They talk and talk, say nothing
I'm just living in a life without feeling
I walk and walk, I'm dreaming
I'm just living in a life without feeling
I talk and talk, say nothing
I'm just living in a life without meaning
I walk and walk, do nothing

You're working at your leisure to learn the things you'll need
The promises you make tomorrow will carry no guarantee
I've seen your qualifications, you've got a Ph.D.
I've got one art O level, it did nothing for me.
Working for the rat race
You know you're wasting your time
Working for the rat race
You're no friend of mine
You plan your conversation to impress the college bar
Just talking about your mother and daddy's Jaguar
Wear your political t-shirt and sacred college scarf
Discussing the world's situation but just for a laugh
You'll be working for the rat race
You know you're wasting your time
Working for the rat race
You're no friend of mine
Working for the rat race
You know you're wasting your time
Working for the rat race
You're no friend of mine
Just working at your leisure to learn the things you won't need
The promises you make tomorrow will carry no guarantee
I've seen your qualifications, you've got a Ph.D.
I've got an art O level, it did nothing for me.
Working for the rat race
You know you're wasting your time

'Cause he's a weedy-weedy-tweedy-weedy monkey man
Ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay
Never should you huggin' up the big monkey man

What you gonna do, when guests drop in on you?
We won't go away, 'cos we've come out to stay
Stand there like parked cars if you want to
We can't force you to enjoy this music
Take it or leave it we'll carry on regardless
If you don't like it you don't have to use it
It's up to you, up to you
It's up to you, up to you
It's up to you, up to you
It's up to you, up to you
Looks like a case of the blind leading the deaf to me
You must be bored out of your pants
Take it or leave it we'll carry on regardless
If you don't like it you don't have to dance
It's up to you, up to you, black
It's up to you, up to you, white
It's up to you, up to you, unite
It's up to you, up to you, or fight
In London town you can hear the youth them say "Take warning"
It's up to you what you really wanna do
For you were standing on the corner giving trouble
When the policeman come he say you have to move on the double, yeah
So, steppin' up the street with my little rude girl
With her 'stay-pressed' to her ankles
It's up to her what she really wants to do
It's up to you, you and strictly you and you
What you gonna do, when morons come for you?
They won't go away, they want the whole world painted grey
It's up to you, up to you
It's up to you, up to you
It's up to you, up to you
It's up to you, up to you

I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
No, I aint gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
Well, I wake up in the morning
Fold my hands and pray for rain
I got a head full of ideas
That are drivin' me insane
It's a shame the way she makes me scrub the floor
I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more.
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more
No, I aint gonna work for Maggie's brother no more
Well, he hands you a nickel
He hands you a dime
He asks you with a grin
If you're havin' a good time
Then he fines you every time you slam the door
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother more.
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa no more
No, I aint gonna work for Maggie's pa no more
Well, he puts his cigar
Out in your face just for kicks
His bedroom window
It is made out of bricks
The National Guard stands around his door
Ah, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa no more.
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more
No, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more
Well, when she talks to all the servants
About man and God and law
Everybody says
She's the brains behind pa
She's sixty-eight, but she says she's fifty-four
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more.
I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
I aint gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
Well, I try my best
To be just like I am
But everybody wants you
To be just like them
They say sing while you slave and I just get bored
I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more.

All you punks and all you teds
National Front and Natty dreads
Mods, rockers, hippies and skinheads
Keep on fighting 'till you're dead
Who am I to say?
Who am I to say?
Am I just a hypocrite, another piece of your bullshit?
Am I the dog that bit
The hand of the man that feeds it?
Do the dog (do the dog)
Do the dog (not the donkey)
Do the dog (don't be a jerk)
Do the dog (watch who you work for)
Do the-do the-do the-do the dog
Everybody's doing the dog
Take your F.A. aggravation
Fight it out on New Street Station
Master-racial masturbation
Causes National Front frustration
Who am I to say?
To the IRA
To the UDA
Soldier boy from the UK
Am I just a hypocrite, another piece of your bullshit
Am I the dog that bit
The hand of the man that feeds it?
Do the dog (do the dog)
Do the dog (not the donkey)
Do the dog (don't be a jerk)
Do the dog (watch who you work for)
Do the-do the-do the-do the dog
Do the-do the-do the-do the dog
Do the-do the-do the-do the dog
Everybody's doing the dog

Mum bought you a fur
Coat when you were fifteen
You wore it to the disco,
But everyone was in jeans
But you were a rich girl,
And only having fun
Your low cut dresses,
Brought stares from everyone
Hey, little rich girl where did you go wrong?
You left for London,
When you were nineteen
Had to pull off your nice clothes,
Just living on dreams
A man in the bright lights
Took all that you own
Now he's taken your freedom
For a fate unknown
But you were a rich girl,
Hardly having fun
Your worn out dresses,
Brought stares from everyone
Hey, little rich girl where did you go wrong?
Hey, little rich girl you've been away for so long
And now little rich girl,
My words are in this song
Hey, little rich girl my love for you is gone
And now little rich girl,
I know where you…

Snow is falling all around, seven o'clock and the roads are blocked
So I walk down town, there's no-one around
I walk in a bar and immediately I sense danger
You look at me girl as if I was some kind of a, a total stranger
Where did you get that blank expression on your face?
Where did you get that blank expression on your face?
The streets are dark, and there's no-one about
I wander home and all the, the lights are out, I keep wondering
Where did you get that blank expression on your face?
Where did you get that blank expression on your face?
Where did you get that blank expression on your face?
Where did you get that blank expression on your face?

raquel go to hell
raquel go to hell
raquel go to hell
raquel go to hell
you can do anything that you want to do
play the guitar if it pleases you
play your guitar or sing out of tune
but don't step on my blue suede shoes
you can play any game that you want to play
say anything that you want to say
work in the night, sleep in the day
just as long as you don't want to do it with me
just as long as you don't want to do it with me

You saw a woman in a cafe, lips of crimson, yellow grin
Her shoes were wrong and she looked extremely thin
Her jewels were faked, she'd had a rinse, her hair was greyish blue
She looked ashamed when she explained to you
It ain't easy when there's no-one to lean on
It ain't easy when there's nobody there
It ain't easy when your lovers are all gone
Nobody there, nobody cares
The pubs were closed she'd got nowhere to go when she'd spilled her tea
Have you never thought "One day that could be me"?
Her temper changed, she looked so deranged, her perfume turned to gin
You looked at her and she began to sing
It's all a load of bollocks
It's all a load of bollocks
It's all a load of bollocks
And bollocks to it all
You tell me you think that they should lock her away and scrape the make-up off her skin
Then we'd see the warts around her chin
She tried to keep her looks but lost her mind when she lost her youth and grace
Your words were just an insult to her face
It ain't easy when there's no-one to lean on
It ain't easy when there's nobody there
It ain't easy when your lovers are all gone
And bollocks to it all
When I first met you, I really thought you were a wet dream come true
Now I know that you don't care, about somebody else's nightmare

When I woke up this morning alone in my bed
In a cold room with damp sheets, and a pain in my head
I saw you last night and you drove me insane
Why must you hurt me again and again
I've had enough, if I don't come back for more that's tough
Cause I can't stand it, the way you've planned it
No I can't stand it any longer
Sometimes I get so I tired I can't get no sleep
I'm so drunk I can't stand up on my own two feet
I'm feeling so hungry I don't want to eat
You make me so angry I can't even speak
I'll stay at home where I can be alone
Because I just can't stand it, the way you've planned it
No I can't stand it any longer
Try not to cry as I lie in the rain
Feel like walking through walls just to get back home again
I saw you last night and I'll see you again
Maybe you're trying to drive me insane
I've had enough, if I don't come back for more that's tough
Cause I can't take it any more
I'm going home where I can be alone
Because I just can't stand it, no I can't stand it
No I can't stand it any longer

Just because you're nobody
It doesn't mean that you're no good
Just because there's a reason
It doesn't mean it's understood
It doesn't make it alright
It doesn't make it alright
It's the worst excuse in the world
And it, it doesn't make it alright
Some people think they're really clever
To smash your head against the wall
Then they say "you got it my way"
They really think they know it all
It doesn't make it alright
It doesn't make it alright
It's the worst excuse in the world
And it, it doesn't make it alright
Just because you're a black boy
Just because you're a white
It doesn't mean you've got to hate him
It doesn't mean you've got to fight
It doesn't make it alright
It doesn't make it alright
It's the worst excuse in the world
And it, it doesn't make it alright
Just because you're nobody

Sammy Buzz - Ghost Town

This town (town) is coming like a ghost town
All the clubs have been closed down
This place (town) is coming like a ghost town
Bands won't play no more
Too much fighting on the dance floor
Do you remember the good old days before the ghost town?
We danced and sang, and the music played in a de boomtown
This town (town) is coming like a ghost town
Why must the youth fight against themselves?
Government leaving the youth on the shelf
This place (town) is coming like a ghost town
No job to be found in this country
Can't go on no more
The people getting angry
This town is coming like a ghost town
This town is coming like a ghost town
This town is coming like a ghost town
This town is coming like a ghost town
