Friends

Friends don't let friends walk home in the dark
Friends don't let friends sleep alone in the park
Friends don't let friends break mirrors of glass
Friends don't let friends go too far for a laugh

Friends don't let friends get caught offside
Friends don't let friends get ruined by a line
Friends don't let friends get eaten alive
Friends always wave good friends goodbye

Goodbye to you my friend
I hope I see you again
I will have a candle burning
In my window for you

Goodbye to you my friend
I hope I see you again
I will have a candle burning
In my window for you
Because thats what good friends do.

Go on my son

You must be onto something - Go on my son
You got something from nothing - Go on my son
It's such a fuss they're making - Go on my son
About the time your taking lately - Go on my son

I think I want to go out - Go on my son
Because I'm left in no doubt - Go on my son
What this world is all about - Go on my son
At least I might make you proud if I go....

Out tonight
The moon is full and bright
Yes I wanna go out tonight
Cause the moon is full and bright

You must be high on something - Go on my son
Helps you get by on nothing - Go on my son
It's such a stink they're making - Go on my son
About the time you are taking lately

I think I wanna get high - Go on my son
If it'll help me get by - Go on my son
I think I'll give it a try - Go on my son
I'll make my poor mother cry if I go...

Out tonight
The moon is full and bright
Yes I wanna go out tonight
Cause the moon is full and bright

Sick Beauty of the Suburbs

He found another way
To crucify himself
He found it too hard
Getting the third nail in

The basement of
His detached house
In his detached street
In his detached town

They made a copy
Replaced him at work
Nobody noticed
The deception worked

All this time
They kept his mind in a jar
His wife sedated
She's out in the car

Now he's wearing more rubber
Then is usual
It's got more zips though
That makes it far more casual

And it must be convenient
On the commute to work
Packed in like rats
Deep down under the earth

Now he's a big cheese
With a big promotion
Another ageing hulk
Buying into tanning lotion

Calling virgin
For the pure reason
their automated voice
Is far more pleasing

They made a copy
Replaced him at work
Nobody noticed
The deception worked

All this time
They kept his mind in a jar
His wife sedated
She's out in the car

She drives it on the weekends
When she goes out
It gets good mileage
It's good round town

It's good for the transport
Of essential things
Tax deductions
The joy they bring

They singled him out
They singled him out
They built him up
Before they tore him down

They tore him down
Piece by piece
Took the bits to
Their masters feet

And made a copy
Replaced him at work
Nobody noticed
The deception worked

All this time
They kept his mind in a jar
His wife sedated
She's out in the car
