Tenement Funster / Flick of the Wrist / Lily of the Valley |
| My new purple shoes |
| Bin amazin' the people next door |
| And my rock’n’roll forty fives |
| Bin enragin' the folks on the lower floor |
| I got a way with the girls on my block |
| Try my best to be a real individual |
| And when we go down to smokies and rock |
| They line up like it’s some kind of ritual |
| Oh give me a good guitar |
| And you can say that my hair’s a disgrace |
| Or just find me an open car |
| I’ll make the speed of light outta this place |
| I like the good things in life |
| But most of the best things ain’t free |
| It’s the same situation just cuts like a knife |
| When you’re young and you’re poor and you’re crazy |
| Young and you’re crazy… |
| Oh give me a good guitar |
| And you can say that my hair’s a disgrace |
| Or just find me an open car |
| I’ll make the speed of light outta this place |
| Flick Of The Wrist |
| Dislocate your spine if you don’t sign |
| He says I’ll have you seeing double |
| Mesmerize you when he’s tongue tied |
| Simply with those eyes ooh |
| Synchronize your minds and see |
| The beast within him rise |
| Don’t look back don’t look back |
| It’s a rip off |
| Flick of the wrist and you’re dead baby |
| Blow him a kiss and you’re mad |
| Flick of the wrist he’ll eat your heart out |
| A dig in the ribs and then a kick in the head |
| He’s taken an arm and taken a leg |
| All this time honey baby you’ve been had |
| Intoxicate your brain with what I’m sayin' |
| If not you’ll lie in knee deep trouble |
| Prostitute yourself he says |
| Castrate your human pride ooh |
| Sacrifice your leisure days |
| Let me squeeze you 'till you’ve dried |
| Don’t look back don’t look back |
| It’s a rip off |
| Work my fingers to my bones |
| I scream with pain I still make no impression |
| Seduce you with his money make machine |
| Cross collateralise big time money money |
| Reduce you to a muzak fake machine |
| Then the last goodbye |
| Flick of the wrist and you’re dead baby |
| Blow him a kiss and you’re mad |
| Flick of the wrist he’ll eat your heart out |
| A dig in the ribs and then a kick in the head |
| He’s taken an arm and taken a leg |
| All this time honey |
| baby you’ve been had |
| (Lily Of The Valley starts where Flick Of The Wrist Ends) |
| I am forever searching high and low |
| But why does everybody tell me no |
| Neptune of the seas an answer for me please |
| The lily of the valley doesn’t know |
| I lie and wait with open eyes |
| I carry on thru' stormy skies |
| I follow ev’ry course my kingdom for a horse |
| But each time I grow old |
| Serpent of the Nile relieve me for a while |
| And cast me from your spell and let me go |
| Messenger from seven seas has flown |
| To tell the king of Rhye he’s lost his throne |
| Wars will never cease |
| Is there time enough for peace? |
| The lily of the valley doesn’t know |
