Love Song (02:22)

The Damned • Machine Gun Etiquette

(lyrics Scabies, music Captain)

I'll be the ticket if you're my collector

I've got the fare if you're my inspector

I'll be the luggage, if you'll be the porter

I'll be the parcel if you'll be my sorter

(chorus)

Just for you here's a love song

Just for you here's a love song

And it makes me glad to say

It's been a lovely day

And it's okay

I'll be the mail, you'll be the guard

I'll be the ink on your season ticket card

I'll be the rubbish, you'll be the bin

I'll be the paint on the sign if you'll be the tin

(chorus)

(chorus)

Its Okay

Its Okay

I Just Can't Be Happy Today

I Just Can't Be Happy Today

A lot of you know

theres not a smile

thers no feeling bad

without feeling fine

thers a price on your head

nobody sighed when justice is read

I Just Can't Be Happy Today

I Just Can't Be Happy Today

They're closing the schools

They're burning the books

The church is in ruins

The priests hang on hooks

The radios been banned

The army's in power

The devil commands

Illegal to dance

Forbidden to cry

You do what you're toldYou never ask why

Ignore all those fools

They don't understand

We make our own rules

I Just Can't Be Happy Today

I Just Can't Be Happy Today

I Just Can't Be Happy

Just Can't Be Happy

Just Can't Be Happy Today

I Just Can't Be Happy

Just Can't Be Happy

Just Can't Be Happy Today

Melody Lee, a broken mind and a broken dream

I bust the speed to change your heart

Your life was cruel they called it art

Melody Lee, you need a mirror to set you free

It won't be kinda cheap tomorrow

If you hide any sorrow

Melody Lee, you gotta find your secret enemy

You're on the road with nowhere to go

If you die someone to know

Forget your heart, you need not stay

A second longer than today

Anti-Pope (03:20)

The Damned • Machine Gun Etiquette

I'm going down to church tonight

Take me back to when I was eight

But I don't mean to pray

I'm gonna nick the collection plate

(chorus)

I'v got nothing against church

Or any people that go there and show that

They're ignorant, I don't understand

A congregation at weekends can change their behaviour

So many people are weak in their lives

And seek guidance from the pedlars of hope

As you know I used to go there myself

Until the day I became antipope

We're gonna have some fun tonight

Let's spread the news around the town

That the vicar's a transvestite

With a fetish for ropes and gowns

(chorus)

Religion doesn't mean a thing

Its just another way of being right wing

I think sex films are okay

I don't dig that all the way

(chorus)

These Hands (02:02)

Più info

The Damned • Machine Gun Etiquette

These are the hands of a demented circus clown
outside I'm laughing but inside I'm really wearing a frown
I see you laughing at me
but baby in my dreams
it's quite a different scene

Chasing you through the night with my hands around your neck
funny how everything seems in technicolour, yet
I find I'm laughing at you
and you are turning blue
Ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha
Ho ho ho

The Damned • Machine Gun Etiquette

She plays her mouth into a smile
And offers that he stay a while
Two hearts that beat as one
And eyes that hardly ever saw the sun
Hollywood babbles on
She lays a wreath of lilies on his grave
His flame gone along with the love he never gave
Not to be seduced by those red lips
Two dimensional comic clips
Hollywood babbles on
on and on and on and on and...

Channel 7, with shades of grey
Too close but two worlds away
Plan 9, hello may
Too close but two worlds away
They say

Step into the night

She plays her mouth into a smile
And offers that he stay a while
Two hearts that beat as one
And eyes that hardly ever saw the sun
Hollywood babbles on
She lays a wreath of lilies on his grave
His flame gone along with the love he never gave
Not to be seduced by those red lips
Two dimensional comic clips
Hollywood babbles on
on and on and on and on and...

The Damned • Machine Gun Etiquette

At 7am on a brand new day

I'm gonna start it in the perfect way

Put the greatest record on

I kick the dog, I kick the cat

Insult my mum insult my dad

Sing out loud and sing along

(chorus)

We say noise is for heroes (heroes)

Leave the music for zeroes (zeroes)

Noise Noise Noise is for heroes (heroes)

Oh yeah

I'm down the pub and the time is one

Hit the jukebox for my favourite song

Gonna turn it up too loud

Have a couple of games of pool

Argue with a drunken fool

Have a beer with the usual crowd

(chorus)

Its noise that makes the world go round

I can't survive without that sound

The sound torments me

Its 8 o'clock down the church hall

I've enough amplifiers 6 feet tall

Gonna turn them up full blast

The vicar waves his arms and looks absurd

The noise drowns out his godly words

And he can't get out too fast

(chorus)

Looking at You (05:06)

The Damned • Machine Gun Etiquette

When it happened, Something Snapped inside me

Made me wanna hide

All on my own, all on my own

I stood up on the stand my eyes shut tight

Didn't wanna see anybody

Feeling alright, having a good time heh

Doing alright, doing alright

Doing alright, doing alright

I saw into the dancing crowd

Felt like screaming out loud

I saw you standing there

Saw your long, your long hair yeah

Opened up my eyes baby

You made me realise what I wanna do now

I wanna do now babe, looking at you

Looking at you babe, looking at you

Looking at you, looking at you baby

You baby (x6)

Yeah yeah

(repeat verse 2) (with 9 extra "you baby" s)

Liar (02:44)

The Damned • Machine Gun Etiquette

Theres not a word of truth in anything that I say

I don't really want to listen till they go away

I haven't finished and I never cry

If you ask me why, I just lie

(chorus)

I'm a liar, liar, I never tell the truth (x2)

I tell you how to feel and why it is

And when and or if you don't want to give

I love spending hours watching television

I saw a dance, lights, room and a fall and your bright red politician

(chorus)

I smoked your last cigarette I say that someone else did

I send your mum to the vet and find out your sisters brilliant

You ask me why, I just lie

I'm a liar, liar

I'm gonna be the biggest liar in the world

I'll be so good you'll believe every word

I could even make you believe Adolf Hitler

Send him to Azurre for the winter

(chorus)
