Win Your Love

I'm gonna stomp underneath your bridge like an angry troll
I'm gonna chase after my tail like some mixed up dog
Then maybe I'll win your love
Maybe I'll win your love
Do, do, do, do, do ...
I'm gonna buzz around your head like a honey bee
I'm gonna sacrifice the beast inside of me
Then maybe I'll win your love
Maybe I'll win your love
Do, do, do, do, do ...

Hey smilin' boy why you wearin' that frown
Hey smilin' boy why you feeling down?
Ain't it strange, strange, strange
Ain't it strange, strange, strange
Ain't it strange, strange, strange
our aching hearts ... hearts, hearts
Hey listen you saints, groovin' on your clouds
We would be most obliged if you'd send some happiness down
Ain't it strange, strange, strange
Ain't it strange, strange, strange
Ain't it strange, strange, strange
our aching hearts ... hearts, hearts
If I had a cup, I'd fill it to the brim
with joy and love, and we could dive right in
Ain't it strange, strange, strange
Ain't it strange, strange, strange
Ain't it strange, strange, strange
our aching hearts
Ain't it strange, strange, strange
Ain't it strange, strange, strange
Ain't it strange, strange, strange
our aching hearts

Happy Head
02:12
|
|||
|
Wears baby shoes, dig Bolan blue
Cries in the sunshine, curses the Happy Head, head
The sacred cow steps out and frowns
With big bloated ego, hiding the Happy Head, head
Bad news, bad luck, bad debt, bad blood
Won't you please, please my Happy Head, head?
Ooh, la, la, la ...
Bah, bah, bah, bah
The sailors sing, hold hands and swing
Then fall over sideways, land on their Happy Head, head
Bad news, bad luck, bad debt, bad blood
Won't you please, please my happy head, head?
The cosmic eye floats down from high
Through the eye of the needle
Crushing the Happy Head, yeah!

Why, whenever I look into your eyes do I see Pet Hates, all your Pet Hates?
I know that I have empathised with your Pet Hates, all you Pet Hates
Try as I may I can't always turn away from your Pet Hates, all your Pet Hates
When you don't feel no love inside
I, I will love you until I die despite your Pet Hates, all you Pet Hates
Try as I may I can't leave you I'll always stay despite your Pet Hates, all you Pet Hates
When you don't feel no love inside
Yeah, yeah, yeah ...

Slow Parade
03:01
|

|
Absolutely grey, slow parade, from Newbury to North Way
Pretty boys, pretty girls, watching the traffic lights change
Hurry up and change, hurry up and change
Down into the square, she combs her hair in the window of a bus café
Old man frowns at the ground, thinks one day his luck will change
Hurry up and change, hurry up and change
Angel or devil? We don't know
Too scared to let it show
Drift into some stupid haze, like fools, and fade away
Ordinary day, slow parade, pale shadows in the rain
Scarves wrapped 'round, coats buttoned down
We wait for the season to change
Hurry up and change, hurry up and change
Angel or devil? We don't know
Too scared to let it show
Drift into some stupid haze, like fools, and fade away

Do, do, do, do, do ... oh, oh, oh
Try to forget it, now your dreams are all smashed
Try to forget it, put those things in the past
Why don't you realise?
Why don't you open up your eyes?
Your heavy dream won't fly
Your heavy dream won't fly
Do, do, do, do, do ... oh, oh, oh
Once was happy, I once had a good idea
Thought you would like it but now you just don't care
Suppose that I should realise
That it's time to open up my eyes
This heavy dream won't fly
This heavy dream won't fly

Run
02:40
|
|||
|
Shiny shoes, tight and new, run away
Running faster, going further, every day
I watch you runaway from me
The sun shines brighter, everything lights up before your eyes
Everything's new, you want to touch that glistening jewel
You laugh with someone else and not with me
The stars shine brightly, the night breathes quietly inside your mind
Telling you to leave, to be free — I'll fall behind
And so you runaway from me
I watch you runaway from me

Fifty million Elvis fans can't be wrong
I guess they knew it all along
If you want to be a star
Go today, buy a suit of Gold Lamé
Listening to 'Mama Weer All Crazee Now' and 'Cum on Feel the Noize'
makes me want to be a star
So come today, buy a suit of Gold Lamé
Gold Lamé, do, do, do, do ...
Gold Lamé, do, do, do, do ...
Do you really want to make it and have lots of fun
Money, drugs, girls and cars?
Do you really want to be a star?
Go today, buy a suit of Gold Lamé
Do, do, do, do ... go today, buy a suit of Gold Lamé!
Gold L–a–m–é

We all feel it, everybody shares in the sadness of love
love, love, love
You cannot hide, you can't deny the sadness of love
love, love, love
We can't live without it, we all give our lives to the sadness of love
love
When you're not near and I feel no-one cares
it's the sadness of love
There's nowhere to run, you must give in to the sadness of love
love, love, love
People take care, everyone, everywhere
from the sadness of love
love, love, love
love, love

So what? So what?
No taxi to Hoboken

No taxi to Hoboken
All my dreams are broken
So what? So what?
No taxi to Hoboken
No taxi to Hoboken
All my dreams are broken
All my dreams are broken
All my dreams have been broken
All my dreams are broken
So what? So what? ...
All my dreams are broken

Happy Hound
04:09
|

I get fried like a pig in the sun
I can smile, I'm a fortunate one
Drive your car to the back of my brain
C'mon in the kitchen it's starting rain
I was once was a child, once wore a child's frown
Once was a child, now I'm a Happy Hound
Watch me run like a sinner from hell
I get up and I fall right down
Cast my smell on a chunk of your life
Baby shampoo won't hurt your eyes
I was once was a child, once wore a child's frown
Once was a child, now I'm a Happy Hound
I feel dumb and I don't have to try
I get sad and I wonder why
Take a bite from the apple of life
Beloved husband, beloved wife
I was once was a child, once wore a child's frown
Once was a child, now I'm a Happy Hound
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo ...

Friday In The Ground
03:28
|
|||
|
Please remember me while we are apart
Now that you have gone I'm right back to the start
It's strange without you 'round
Is it cold beneath the ground?
Hey, here on Sunday
Hey, here on Monday
Hey, gone on Tuesday
Friday in the ground
Sometimes when I sleep I still can see your face
Forget that you'll be gone tomorrow when I wake
I hope we'll meet again but I don't know if we can
Hey, here on Sunday
Hey, here on Monday
Hey, gone on Tuesday
Friday in the ground

Keep your seat
Train to Skaville
Hoo, hoo
Don't you want to go? (yeah)
Keep your seat (yeah)
Get on board
Train to Skaville
Hoo, hoo, Train to Skaville
Hoo, hoo, Train to Skaville

Drifting away in a sad dream, hiding your head in the sand
Passing your days in a lost haze, with no hopes ahead and no plans
I know I'm not the one to advise anyone
but I know, life it ain't easy when your dead
Don't want to think about tomorrow, can't seem to lift me heavy head
The world's spinning by outside my window
Close my eyes and stay right here
And although I'm not the one to advise anyone
Well I know, life ain't easy when your dead
Dead, dead, dead ...
Do, do, do, do ...

Damnit, I've bought this album twice. Gotta start checking my collection before I pay. Nevertheless, worth every cent.

Joe Sampson of Salad Boys pairs with frontman Andrew ‘Ox’ O’Connell to make sharp-edged trash rock with nihilistic lyrics.

Forthright indie rock free of trickery; just gravelly hooks, high energy, and heart-on-sleeve lyricism.

The Flying Nun debut from Recitals runs a dazzling spectrum, from gauzy folk to lurching, math-y rockers.
