I'm talkin' about disco soul
It's the sound that really pounds my brain
Not enough to satisfy me
Just enough to drive me insane

Ooh that funky beat just drives me wild
Ooh that funky beat just drives me wild

I'm talkin' about disco soul
It's the noise that really annoys me
I'm talkin' about disco soul
It's the worst that there ever could be

Ooh that funky beat just drives me wild
Ooh that funky beat it just drives me wild ...oh

Hear the beat ..beat .. beat from your head to your feet
Get up and dance from your seat ..seat ..seat
I'm singing
Ooh that funky beat just drives me wild
Ooh that funky beat it just drives me wild

I'm talkin' about disco soul
It's the sound
That really pounds my brain
Not enough to satisfy me
Just enough to drive me insane

Ooh that funky beat just drives me wild
Ooh that funky beat just drives me wild

I'm sick and tired of that disco soul
It's the noise that really annoys me
I said I'm sick and tired of disco soul
It's the worst that there ever could be

Ooh that funky beat just drives me wild
Ooh that funky beat just drives me wild

Ooh that funky beat
Ooh that funky beat
Ooh that funky beat
Ooh that funky beat

A ee bi gum finished of t'mill
Here I come running up the hill
I du' some work fer mi Uncle Bill
I got to go even tho' I'm ill

Red bricked houses go on fer miles
Aunty Elsie's just got piles
The red bricked houses with black roof tiles
Aunty Elsie's still got piles

I've bin t'cobblers and picked up mi clogs
Dust a kno' Elsie's scared of frogs
And I've just 'erd in t'howd Black Dog
Aunty Elsie's run off wi' a nice coloured gentleman

I ran into young Garry Pickles t'other day an' he were tellin' me sum a' things he'd bin up to
Sez he went t'pub
Supped fourty pints an' he were still sober aftwerwards
Ee like that is Gary
He's a reyt 'un ...aye
He sups millions of pints a day an' he dun't feel anythin'
He's a real rum bugger
His a guddun fer his peynts

Dusta kno' wot I've just heard
Uncle Bill went an' slipped on a turd
Everyone agreed it was quite absurd
No-one even dared say a word ...ah

My mate Tommy works down pit
He comes home nights an he's covered in shit
We learn how to swear an' we learn how to spit
King said we've all got to do our bit

Hilda Ogden's long since died
Fer King and country we've lost our pride
An' those black puddings make me rotten inside
And the Rochdale Cowboy's forgotten how to ride

I'm lying on the sofa with nothing to do
'Cos lying on the sofa's nothing to do with you
I can't be bothered to go upstairs
'Cos I'm not going anywhere

Oh oh oh oh
Lying on the sofa
Oh oh oh oh
Lying on the sofa

Too tired to get up
Walk across the floor
I'm lying on a sofa
You've heard it bit all before
Too tired to get up
Walk across the floor
I'm lying on the sofa
You've heard it all before ...oh oh

I can't be bothered to make a brew
'Cos I'm lying on the sofa with nothing to do
What a silly set up
Who could ask for more
Lying on the sofa
Terribly ....bored

Oh oh oh oh
Lying on the sofa
Oh oh oh oh
Lying on the sofa
Oh oh oh oh
Piccadilly Circus
Oh oh oh oh
Blackpool Tower

Too tired to get up
Walk across the floor
I'm lying on the sofa
You've heard it all before
Too tired to get up
Walk across the floor
I'm lying on the sofa
And you've heard it all before ...oh

Right, stand up ...Sit down
Stand up ...Sit down
Stand up
Clap, start clapping ...
1 - 2 - a - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4
Lying on the sofa X12
Lying, lying, oh yea, I'm lying on a sofa
Oh yea ...can't you hear me
I'm a lying on the sofa

I thought I was dreaming
Last night I couldn't sleep
And when they told me
I could hardly speak
They said we would be famous
A fortune we would reap
They want to do a feature
In the paper, next week

Singing ...
Garry Bushell's Band of the Week
Garry Bushell's Band of the Week
Garry Bushell's Band of the Week
Garry Bushell's Band of the Week

John Peel played our record
He thought it was out of sight (out of sight)
He said he would feature the B side tomorrow night
He said he really liked it
I though he was a freak
Just watch our appearance
On Top of the Pops next week

Garry Bushell's Band of the Week
Garry Bushell's Band of the Week
Garry Bushell's Band of the Week
Garry Bushell's Band of the Week

So you think you can rip me off
That's fine, well it's not good enough
So you think you can steal my mind
That's fine, but you're wasting your time
I'll never be held in your arms
I'll never be subject to your charms
I'll never be what you want me to be

Why? Because I'm mine
Because I'm mine
Mine all mine
Because I'm mine

So you think you can take me away to your land
So you think you can make me hold your hand
But I'll never be the one you love
Nor the one you're thinking of
I'll never be what you want me to be

Why? Because I'm mine
Because I'm mine
Mine all mine
Because I'm mine

Let's go ...

Because I'm mine
Because I'm mine
Mine all mine
Because I'm mine

Love is easy
Love is kind
I can't see it
I am blind
Go away
You're not my kind
Whatever you want
I don't mind

Love is silly
Love is fun
Easy when you're the only one
Please stay with me you're refined
Whatever you want
I don't mind

I can't seem to tell you at all
It's like banging my head against a brick wall
It's like banging my head against a brick wall
I can't seem to tell you at all
It's like banging my head against a brick wall ...

They came from another town
Left their beer cans lying around
Oh ...what's the world coming to?
A breach of peace on a Sunday afternoon

They spoil our scenery
With behaviour so filthy
For this there's no excuse
Who the hell let the animals loose?

They shout obscenities
Songs without melodies
Now they're itching for a fight
Looks like were in for a hell of a night

But I'm so disgusted
Call the police right away
Disgusted
I'm gonna have my say
Disgusted
Call the local press
To complain about the mess

They don’t leave while 1 a.m
I thought we'd seen the last of them
Oh no! this is going too far
One of them is asleep in my car

They came from another town
Left their beer cans lying around
Oh whats the world coming to?
A breach of peace on a Sunday afternoon

When I was young they didn’t have fun
Punk bands weren’t invented
I'm sad to say that I missed out but still I need attention
I can't join in so I’ll go out get a petition from the neighbours
Express my views, and blow a fuse
Get my picture in the papers
I'm so disssssssss
We're so disssssssss

So disgusted
Call the police right away
Disgusted
I'm gonna have my say
Disgusted
Call the local press
To complain about the mess
To complain about the mess
To complain about the mess
To complain about the mess
To complain about the mess

Right from the start
I was born with no heart
And I never thought that anything
Could tear us apart
You proved me so wrong
I thought I was so strong
But I could never understand

You tear me away
Spare me today
I sit around just watching you
Wear me away
I take what I can
And you can't understand
That it's suicide

You left me alone without a house or a home
And your presence is destruction
And you've practically shown
That no thanks to me
You've lost your sanity
And you became an unknown

Now you live by the sea
And the tranquility
Is an easy way to stop you feeling
Lifeless and free
But with a wave of your hand
You are the pride of the land
So you forget about me

Then the telephone rings again
Then the telephone rings again
It's a call from a long lost friend
Who called some time ago
Then the telephone rings again
Then the telephone rings again
It's a call from a long lost friend
Who called some time ago

Right from the start
I was born with no heart
And I never thought that anything
Could tear us apart
You proved me so wrong
I thought I was so strong
But I could never understand

You tear me away
Spare me today
I sit around just watching you
Wear me away
I take what I can
And you can't understand
That it's suicide

Then the telephone rings again
Then the telephone rings again
It's a call from a long lost friend
Who called some time ago
Then the telephone rings again
Then the telephone rings again
It's a call from a long lost friend
Who died some time ago

Then the telephone rings again
Then the telephone rings again
Then the telephone rings again
Then the telephone rings aaa ...gain

The telephone rings again
Then the telephone rings again
It's a call from a long lost friend
Who called some time ago

I've just had enough brother
Brother can you help me 'cos I'm right up to here man
I've just had enough brother
Brother can you tell me where I go from here man

That night they told me
The image would really be cracked one day

You'd be straying off the track one day

Well I've just had enough brother
Brother can you help me while I'm living in fear man
Now I've just had enough brother
Christ send them away ... yeah

Like it or love it or sort it away man
Who can I trust brother
Brother it's a means of a waste of day man

That night they told me
The image would really be cracked one day
That night they told me
Maybe you would get the sack one day

Well I've just had enough brother
Brother can you help me while they crucify me
Man I've just had enough brother
Christ send them away ... yeah

Sometimes I get the feeling that somethings going wrong
Sometimes I can't help believing two million's mighty strong ... yeah

I've just had enough brother
Brother can you help me 'cos I'm right up to here man
Who can I trust brother

That night they told me
You'd be living off their back one day
I've just had enough brother
Brother can you tell me where I go from here man
I've just had enough brother
Christ send them away

Sometimes I get the feeling that somethings going wrong
Sometimes I can't help believing three million's mighty strong
It's so strong ... yeah

Brother can you tell me where I go from here man

Got up this morning it was nearly time to go
I couldn’t see so clearly 'coz the day drags by so slow
Boss is there and he’s a waiting at the gate
Wants to know why I’m a half an hour late
He says to me it’s my final warning
But it’ll happen again next morning
I can’t carry on I think I’m gonna crack
The weight of my head is breaking my back
I’ve said it all before
But not anymore

I don’t wanna work anymore
I don’t wanna work anymore

All I wanna do is laze around
Get right back down to the ground
Put my feet up and stay in bed
Only trouble is I won’t get no bread
Like I used to!
Oh this has got to stop
Think I’m gonna drop
Gotta get out before I’m over the top
I’ve said it all before but not anymore

I don’t wanna work anymore
I don’t wanna work anymore

I don’t wanna work anymore
I don’t wanna work anymore

Right, some people think that I’m a lazy swine
Doesn’t really matter they’re all wasting my time
All I wanna be is one of the chosen few
I wanna be a rich man, nothing to do
But this has gotta stop I think I’m gonna drop
I gotta get out before I’m over the top
I’ve said it all before but not anymore

I’m not gonna work anymore
I’m not gonna work anymore!

You wanna talk business well don’t talk to me
You think we’re all prisoners as far as you can see
And when you ask a question I don’t know what to say
When you look towards me I’ll turn the other way

I need you more than you need me
I also need my freedom I wanna be free
I also need my freedom I wanna be free

Well things may look disastrous but that don’t bother me
It’s time we got things worked out we can’t seem to agree
And even though there’s freedom nothing is free
I’m gonna breakout so give me the key

I need you more than you need me
I also need my freedom I wanna be free
I also need my freedom I wanna be free

It’ll cost a lot of money but that’s not what I’ve got
Even if its what I’d got it would not stop the rot
'Coz what the rot has got causes too much pain
‘Cided to leave me d'ya think I’m insane?

I need you more than you need me
I also need my freedom I wanna be free
I also need my freedom I wanna be free

You wanna talk business well listen to me
I’m no longer a prisoner 'coz I’ve broken free
And when you ask a question now I’ll know what to say
When I look towards you you’ll turn the other way

I need you and you don’t want me
You don’t want your freedom don’t wanna be free
You don’t want your freedom you don’t wanna be free

I need my freedom, you need your freedom, they need my freedom, I want my freedom
You want your freedom, they need their freedom, we all need our freedom now!

I am invincible
Part man I'm part machine
Technological breakthrough
A scientist’s dream
I have no father
It doesn’t bother me
I don’t need no help now
And I don’t need no means

Create a perfect image like the one you see
In someone else’s body who has just borrowed me
Some kind of superhuman just been set free
But I’m not the only one
There’s a team of me

Oh I am a clone I am a clone
I’m not the only one
Not the only one

Oh I could be ligger a beggar or a thief
It doesn’t really matter 'coz it’s not really me
Some kind of superhuman just been set free
But something’s going wrong
They can’t control me

Oh I am a clone I am a clone
I’m not the only one
Not the only one

I am The Bishop
I wear a Bishop’s gown

You worship the very ground

No medals on my chest
I make the orders
And you follow like the rest

They tell me I’m efficient
The leader of the sect
They tell me I’m sufficient
To be looked upon with zest
And if you see me coming
Bow down like you’re possessed
For I am The Bishop
And I will do the rest

They tell me I’m The Bishop baby
Tell me you’re The Bishop’s baby
OoOoOoh I’m The Bishop

Tell me you’re The Bishop’s baby

Maybe one day I’ll get something right
Maybe one day I’ll put up a decent fight
Somehow that day seems oh so far away
Too far for my failing sight

Fortunes may change I don’t know
Years and time just pass me by so slow
One day I’ll break out... be leader of the world
Just one thing stops that being true

I make a balls of everything I do
A balls of everything I do
I’ve even tried to shoot myself but I just can’t get it right
A balls of everything I do

Fortunes may change well I don’t know
Years and time just pass me by so slow
One day I’ll break out I’ll be leader of the world
Just one thing stops that being true

I make a balls of everything I do

I’ve even tried to drown myself but I just can’t get it right
A balls of everything I do

Balls of everything I do
I make a balls of everything I do
I’ve even tried to hang myself but I just can’t get it right
A balls of everything I do

I’ve even tried to gas myself but I just can’t get it right
A balls of everything I do

You got no money, you got no class
You got no prospects
So you’ll never last!

I met a girl of sixteen that I really loved
Daddy was a high class man who thought I was no good
He said:
You got no money, you got no class
You got no prospects
So you’ll never last!

I couldn’t see why that was bad what difference it made
Just 'coz I’m a workin' lad a workin' at my trade

He can’t feel the way I feel when I think of you
He tries to put a stop to most everything I do

Rodney, Charles and Cedric all want to take your hand
They made all their money in another blokes land

Rodney owns a Rolls Royce and Charles an MGB
But darling if you had the choice, would you rather marry me?

Because I got no money, plenty of class
Not many prospects
But I’m sure we’ll last!

Oh! drive up to the tennis club backgammon with the Pies
I’m sure if that was my life it would drive me to suicide

Oh darling if you love me so, come off with me tonight
We’ll walk it to the airport and we'll jump the evening flight!

Because I got no money, plenty of class
Not many prospects
Forever we will last!
