BEAT GIRL
Version: MCA Singles CD
Original Date: January 1986
Original Release: Eloise - 12"
She's nearly always here
Digs all the modern gear
Cool, like a lager beer
Beat Girl
Tries anything for kicks
Lose you with her swinging hips
Mates with her pretty lips
Beat Girl
"That's the Beat girl feeding the coins into the Jukebox,
all white stockings and no make up
Big wheel setting up the coffee pot,
she makes like she's not over concerned
about this extraordinary attention,
keeps giving me the look,
like I'm not supposed to rate this chick high"
Ploughs on the chicken run
Goes but it ain't no fun
Not unless you do the ton
Beat Girl
Drives in an old Sedan
Drives all the way she can
Jives like a crazy man
Beat Girl
"I, I think I was stoned....in fact I was,hahaha"
BILLY BAD BREAKS
Version: Tales From The Damned
Original Date: November 1981
Original Release: Friday The 13th EP
Little by little, I've begun to see
Just why love don't come easily
One step forward and two behind
Waiting for the best chance, just takes time
And they call you
Billy Billy bad bad bad bad breaks
All you ever do is make mistakes
Billy Billy bad bad bad bad breaks
All you ever do is make mistakes
Beyond the realms of fantasy
He can see that it's not to be
We can not be like Howard Hughs
We don't have the choice to choose
And they call you
Billy Billy bad bad bad bad breaks
All you ever do is make mistakes
Billy Billy bad bad bad bad breaks
All you ever do is make mistakes
And they call you
Billy Billy bad bad bad bad breaks
All you ever do is make mistakes
Billy Billy bad bad bad bad breaks
All you ever do is make mistakes
What does the future hold in store
More bad luck at your front door
You take the silver and I'll take the gold
But who's the winner when all is told
And they call you
Billy Billy bad bad bad bad breaks
All you ever do is make mistakes
Billy Billy bad bad bad bad breaks
All you ever do is make mistakes
BURGLAR
Version: Tales From The Damned
Original Date: November 1978
Original Release: Love Song Dodgy Demo - 7"
Here we go now
I'm a villain, I'm a rogue
I'll nick your wallet or garden gnome
I'm a burglar, I'm a cad
An open window, I'm in your home
I'll have your tools or kiddies toys
And I'm not safe, a joy of joys
I'll be the gasman or a toad
I'll have your telly or garden hose
While I'm scoping, in the dark
I'll strap your dog, so he won't bark
I won't disturb, your only dreams
But if you wake up, there's no screams
I'll nick anything removable
From the QE2 to the toilet paper in the houses of parliament
I'll even have the milk off your doorstep
Or the skin off a baby seals back
'Cause I'm a real villain (played backwards)
I'll steal the paper or the milk
Or warn your neighbors or the bill
I'm a stealer, I'm a crook
Read about me in Mich's book
Burglary is a life for me
Burglary is a life for me
People say that crime don't pay
I drink champagne every day
And the good lord said thou shall not steal
There is only one path and that is the straight and narrow
It's a bit too bleeding straight and a bit too narrow for my liking
Ok gov It's a fair cop
Throw on the bracelets
Chink chink oh god I'm nicked
I sentence you to six months...
Take him away
CITADEL

Original Release: Friday The 13th EP
Band down, arms out, who goes there
We have journeyed far from here
I was a pigeon in Leicester Square
This is daddy, hope you both are well
Please come see me in the citadel
In the streets of many wars
Hear the panzers come and call
You can hear their numbers called
This is daddy, hope you both are well
Please come see me in the citadel
Screaming people fly so fast
You can drive in metal cars
In their worlds of steel and glass
This is daddy, hope you both are well
Please come see me in the citadel

Dead beat dance
Leave them severed
Dead beat dance
Leave them severed

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Life comes to a halt
Here we walk with the funeral box
But the dancing never stops
It never stops
Dead beat dance
Leave them severed
Dead beat dance
Leave them severed
Aahhhh
Out of my brains for the last time
I'm running free and I feel fine
The park shines, though the birds do try to
Take a soul as long as it's not mine
It's not mine
Who knows from whence he came
Who knows where he goes
Dead beat dance
Leave them severed
Dead beat dance
Leave them severed
We know from whence he came
And we know where he goes
He'll make you scream with pain
Unto your death throes
Unto your death throes
Who knows from whence he came
and who knows where he goes
Doctor death
Doctor death
(Who knows)
Dead beat dance
Doctor death heaven

Doctor death's in heaven

Get to the bathroom mirror can that sight really be my face

And so into the kitchen wondering, what I did last night
And open up the corn flakes that they says nutra sheds delight
Rummage in the sink to find a plate, it's almost clean
I think this is the worst state that the kitchen's ever been
And so the day breaks over motley cat and me
I read the Sunday paper and have a nice cup of tea

And it's OK
It's a lovely day

Original Release: White Rabbit - 7"
I read about a bug eyed monster
Taking London at a storm
I heard about a blue eyed heroine
Screaming out for help
I held my breath as tentacles
Came through the cabin door
And slimy forces slipped across
A trail of sticky gore
I was just a hero of the human race
But monsters keep on trying
To take control of space
I heard about a great new movie
That took the world by storm
People said the effects were groovy
The plot was much the norm
The goddess was whiter than white
The villains mostly dark
The hero was enlightened by light
Dogs began to bark
I was just a hero of the human race
But monsters keep on trying
To take control of space
You treat me like a dog
Give me a bone to chew
Frothing at the mouth
Frothing all over you
Yeah I've bitten over you
I'm kind of rabid over you
I'm kind of rabid over you
Your daddy's got a gun
He's gonna put me down
Compliments of public health

Her love is like a haunted house
Ghosts behind every door
Along it's corridors the shadows race
To embrace me and hold me ever more
Her body burns with ectoplasmic fire
Turning this house to a shrine of desire
Like a dream, again and again
Until everything is consumed by the flames
Out of control
Stealing my soul
Wanting nothing more than a burning kiss
Wanting nothing more than a burning kiss
A burning kiss
Her love is like a haunted house
Ghosts behind every door
Along it's corridors the shadows race
To embrace me and hold me ever more
Out of control
Stealing my soul
Wanting nothing more than a burning kiss
Never wanted more then one burning kiss
Can take you away like a river of sadness
It can be a path that leads to madness
It can be as sweet as you please
It can keep you on your knees
As it whispers in your ears
Soft and low
Let's go, let's go, let's go
Let's go

In a blood red sun's final rays
We laughed at that subtle shadow play
Into the world we started to run
Like bullets from a gun
With passion and desire
Like two burning balls of fire
And there is surely nothing else
The guys and girls that keep on laughing
Laughing (repeats)
If fools wanna dance let the music play
So much unsung, so much to say
Like velvet claws the night unfolds
Its secret bare, its story told
I had a friend, heaven and hell
His life was short, he lived it well
The limit's here, the time is now
A life to lead you bet and how
And there is surely nothing else
The guys and girls that keep on laughing
Laughing (repeats)
And I don't want no feeling blue
'Cause I've been laughing too
And I don't want no feeling blue
'Cause I've been laughing too
And so could you
THERE AIN'T NO SANITY CLAUSE
Version: Tales From The Damned
Original Date: November 1980
Original Release: There Ain't No Sanity Clause - 7"
Rabies got the scabies now he's down on all fours
Hasn't helped his drumming, changing hands for paws
Afraid he's quarantined, means no more foreign tours
Ah ha, there ain't no sanity clause
Oh no, there ain't no sanity clause
Oh no, there ain't no sanity clause
Oh no, there ain't no sanity clause
Oh no, there ain't no sanity clause
Vanian had a visit from a guy named Drac
Says he's from the blood bank wants his ten pints back
Singer's rather sickly, when it rains it pours
Oh no, there ain't no sanity clause
Oh no, there ain't no sanity clause
Oh no, there ain't no sanity clause
Oh no, there ain't no sanity clause
Oh no, there ain't no sanity clause
Did you expect that I would believe
The tale you told last Christmas Eve
About the man
That man is fat and round
Delivers gifts without a sound
Here comes uncle Nick
Let's give him some stick
Here comes uncle Nick
Let's give him some stick
Captain's out of order 'cause he thinks he's Jaws
Biting lady punters on the Norfolk Broads
Paul plays the bass he's just debased that's all
Oh no, there ain't no sanity clause
There ain't no sanity clause
THANKS FOR THE NIGHT
Version: The Light At The End Of The Tunnel
Original Date: May 1984
Original Release: Thanks For The Night - 7"
Well thanks for the night
The swag and a lovely affray
Thanks for the night
You give and we take it away
It was a smash and grab conflab
An all night show and we weren't nabbed
A thrill for one and all, a ball
Join us or be a fool
Thanks for the night
Well I know a place
Where we can have fun tonight
Yeah I know a place
Where we can be one tonight
Old Bill & Ben and all his friends will be there
Standing in a row
The News At Ten and ITN will be there
Don't be slow
The fires ignite
All down the road
The scene explodes and I say
It's been alright
Thanks for the night
A fine affair
The narks are there
And we don't care 'cause I say
It's been alright
Thanks for the night
The fires ignite
All down the road
The scene explodes and I say
It's been alright
Thanks for the night
A fine affair
The narks are there
And we don't care 'cause I say
It's been alright
Thanks for the night
The fires ignite
All down the road
The scene explodes and I say
It's been alright
Thanks for the night
A fine affair
The narks are there
And we don't care 'cause I say
It's been alright
Thanks for the night
TORTURE ME
Version: Damned But Not Forgotten
Original Date: September 1982
Original Release: Dozen Girls - 7"
Torture me
I'm just an animal you see
On the slap for your lap
Not upset
You know pets don't really feel
Torture me
Why don't you carve my body up
Throw me into a pot
Make it hot
And you'll have a lovely meal
Torture me
'Cause you're the beauty I'm the beast
For your feast
Weddings, barmitzvah and all
Torture me
Take my skin eat my flesh
'Cause it's fresh
Boil or roast it'll be a ball
And if I can suffer more
And if I can suffer more
I'll improve your life for sure
And if I can suffer more
And if I can suffer more
And if I whimper just ignore me

There's a turkey in your house, get him out
Get the turkey out
Get him out of the house

Get the turkey out
Get him out of the house

Get turkey out of the house
Get turkey out of the house, get him out
Get the turkey out, get him out
There's a rhino in the room, get him out
Get him out of the room
Get the rhino out
Get him out
There's a rhino in the room, get him out
Get him out of the room
Get the rhino out
Get him out
Get rhino out of the room
Get rhino out of the room, get him out
Get the rhino out get him out
Get turkey out of the house
Get turkey out of the house, get him out
Get the turkey out, get him out
Get that turkey out
WOULD YOU
Version: MCA Singles CD
Original Date: May 1985
Original Release: The Shadow of Love - 12"
Would you love me
If I had three eyes
If I had no hair
Would I need a disguise
Oh if we woke up
And I'd been sick in a bucket
Would you empty it
While I snored
If the answers yes
Then my prayers ain't been ignored
Would you love me
If I had a wooden leg
Would you care if the neighbors laughed
And called me Peggy
Would you put out the bar-b-que
If my teeth all came out too
If the answers yes
Then my prayers ain't been ignored
Darling where were you
When I lay on my sick bed
When I needed a doctor
You sent a vet instead
Well I know you're just a farmer-boy
But that's really no excuse
So pass me my spanner 'cause
My leg irons just came loose
