The Beat |
Were all going on a summer holiday |
Vigilantes coming out to follow me. |
Heard somebody say theyre out to collar me. |
Anybody wanna swallow me? |
It takes two to tumble. |
it takes two to tango. |
Speak up; |
dont mumble if youre in the combo. |
On the beat, on the beat. |
Till a man comes along and he says, |
have you been a good boy, never played with your toy? |
Though you never enjoy, such pleasure to employ. |
See your friends in the state their in. |
See your friends getting under their skin. |
See your friends getting taken in. |
Well, if you only knew the things you do to me. |
Id do anything to confuse the enemy. |
Theres only one thing wrong with you befriending me. |
Take it easy. |
I think youre bending me. |
Ive been a bad boy with the standard leader. |
My neighbors revving up his vauxhall viva. |
On the beat, on the upbeat. |
Till a man comes along and he says, |
have you been a good boy, never played with your toy? |
Though you never enjoy, such pleasure to employ. |
See your friends walking down the street. |
See your friends never quite complete. |
See your friends getting under their feet. |
Oh, I dont want to disease you, |
But Im no good with machinery. |
Oh, I dont wanna freeze you. |
Stop looking at the scenry. |
I keep thinking about your mother. |
Oh, I dont wanna lick them. |
I dont wanna be a lover. |
I just wanna be your victim. |
I dont go out much at night. |
I dont go out much at all. |
Did you think you were the only one |
Who was waiting for a call |
On the beat, on the upbeat. |
Till a man comes along and he says, |
have you been a good boy, never played with your toy? |
Though you never enjoy, such pleasure to employ. |
See your friends treat me like a stranger. |
See your friends despite all the arrangements. |
See your friends nothing here has changed. |
Just the beat. |
