1. FUNTIME (IGGY POP COVER)

hey baby we like your lips
Fun,
hey baby we like your pants
all aboard for funtime
Fun,
Hey, I feel lucky tonight
Fun,
I'm gonna get stoned and run around
All aboard for funtime
Fun,
Last night I was down in the lab
Fun,
Talkin' to Dracula and his crew
All aboard for funtime
Fun,
I don't need no heavy trips
Fun,
I just do what I want to do
All aboard for funtime
Fun,
Baby baby we like your lips
Fun,
Baby baby we like your pants
All aboard for funtime
Fun,
Everybody we want in
Fun,
We want some we want some
All aboard for funtime
Fun,
Baby baby we like your lips
Fun,
Baby baby we like your pants
All aboard for funtime.


2. KUNG FU GIRLS

1 2 3 !
Down in Chinatown (the year of the Cock)
He sold the silver belt, put it in hock
Fistful of money, mouth full of gold
Soon to be free of all armful of holes

She was a kung fu girl, kung fu girl
Uh eow!

He got the address symbolised in Cantonese
Then asked a native, "Some assistance, please"
She took him to the secret door, he was kissing the floor
Don't know much more.

She was a kung fu girl, kung fu girl
Heng lu Cindy Sue
Difo difong hacking hu.

In a flash of recollection of oriental pride
She threw him to the side
Got the address, gave the door a knock
What happened next caused quite a shock
She was standing, looking out the door
He was kicked to the floor
Don't know much more.

She was a kung fu girl, kung fu girl
Uh eow
Kung fu
Cindy Sue
Oh, I wanna get close to you.

You're my kung fu girl
You're my kung fu girl
Oh my oriental pearl
Kung fu
Cindy Sue
Oh, I wanna get close to you
You're my kung fu girl
You're my kung fu girl, get down.


3. IN THE SUN

In the sun, I'm waiting for the day
Having fun, in warm far away
Moonlight nights, water seems so clear
Ooh city lights while I'm still waiting here.

In the sun, it's for everyone
In the sun, were gonna have some fun
In the sun, were gonna shoot the tube
I'll do it for you, my paka lola luau love.

New York isle is covered by grey
Concrete piles, blues play my way
Tropic haze, pineapple sky
Perfect wave, hurricane eye.

In the sun, it's for everyone
In the sun, were gonna have some fun
In the sun, were gonna shoot the tube
I'll do it for you, my paka lola luau love.

In the sun, it's for everyone
In the sun, were gonna have some fun
In the sun, were gonna shoot the tube
I'll do it for you, my paka lola luau love.

Where is my wave?
Where is my wave?


4. CONTACT IN RED SQUARE

Although I'm young I got a job to do
Hid the microfilm in the lining of my shoe
Call it a business trip
Got to hide inside my trench coat and be clever
I got my papers and a cyanide pill
My Polaroid's a taser in disguise
There's a base in the hills
And the wheat fields looks like Kansas in November.

Astrovia, sweet comrade, your nation is your gun
Your love reads like the broken code you sent me
One last contact in red square, unless I have to run
And the long arms of the KGB detect me.

Can't trust a soul, secret messenger
Just the rules that lie like circuits in your brain
And a cool .45. The wind is ice and foreign air tastes Strange.

I.C.B.M. Bang! Bang! You're dead!
No one left to worry
Kiss me quick, now I have to hurry
Our last contact in red square, unless I have to run
And the long arms of the CIA detect me.

Hey! Hey! Hey!


5. LOOK GOOD IN BLUE

You look good in blue
It matches your skin, your eyes dripping with pain
Someone like you
Getting off on the lies 'cause it dulls your surprise again
If it's alright with you
I could give you some head and shoulders to lie on
You look good in blue
I know what you mean when you say you've seen the end
Someone like you
Been at it again, you knew what was up in the end
If it's alright with you
I could give you some head and shoulders to lie on.

Throw your weight on me baby
Don't complain on me baby
Escape in me, next to me
I'm tired, always tired and I got not place to sleep
Don't mind dividing down the line
Can't say that I'm complaining 'cause I got no place to Play, yeah
Don't mind dividing down the line.

You look good in blue
It matches your skin, your eyes dripping with pain
If it's alright with you
I could give you some head and shoulders to lie on
Yes, I could give you some head and shoulders to lie on.


6. MAN OVERBOARD

Man overboard, sinking in a sea of love
Man overboard, he jumped, didn't need a shove
Oh, I've been sailing the sea of love, experiencing romance
With what I know (with what I know) he never stood a chance
He gave it all for love
He gave it all for love.

Said, lower the boats, he's sinking in a sea of love
Lower the boats, he's sinking in a sea of love
Yeah, I've been sailing the sea of love, experiencing Romance
With what I know (with what I know) he never stood a chance.

No! Man overboard
Man overboard
Man overboard
Man overboard
Throw him a line
Man overboard.

He gave it all for love
He gave it all for love
He gave it, he gave it all for love
Man overboard
(He gave it).


7. CAUTIOUS LIP

Another way down
Why, yeah. What do you know, huh?)
I seen you skip
That cautious lip
Now tell me this
Through that cautious lip
You can be bit
As I make you it
I seen you skip
That cautious lip
A chance you'll fit
That cautious lip
It's just these things
Not really gifts
It's just these things
Not really gifts
I seen you skip
That cautious lip.

I seen you skip
That cautious lip
But never miss
My bouncing hips
A girl so sweet
A love so strong
I seen you skip
I see you tip
You can be bit
As I make you it
I seen you skip
That cautious lip
Ah, I seen you skip
That cautious lip
Ah, cautious lip
Cautious lip
You can be bit
I'll make you it
I seen you skip
Cautious lip
Change your fit
Skip of the lip
Oh, oh, not really get
Skip lip.

What's going on?
No way.


8. I DIDN'T HAVE THE NERVE TO SAY NO

You're a viper and love's a fever
You said something profane and went for a vein but in spite Of your delicate touch
I should have known as much. I'm a bleeder
I didn't have the nerve to say no
I didn't have the nerve to say no.

You caught me surprised and my will resigned. Torture the Minds of them all
You're a brain drain, you'd better beat it
I'm following lines, the blind leads the blind, so hang me Or grant me a stay
You better cut me loose or hand me a noose.

I didn't have the nerve to say no
I didn't have the nerve to say no.

There's no end to the problem
Of a bad situation. Complication
No, no, no, no, ah
There's no end to the problem
And frustration. I need a vacation
No, no, no, no, ah
And I know I couldn't
And I know that I couldn't say no.


9. A SHARK IN JETS CLOSING

I had to make good time to see you but you had to pay the Fine
All the boys on my side knew that you were the shark
If you were found on the borderline you'd be shot in the Dark
Don't wear those clothes again, they don't make it in this Crowd
Don't go out D.T.K., you'll wear your best suit in the Ground
We're meeting in a neutral zone: the last car on the train
The love you brought shaking up my bones and crawling Through our veins
We always met at the edge of a blade and we left at the end of the fight
Of all the girls you've played and you laid why did this One have to be white?
They're gonna get ya at 12 o'clock high, got their sights Set low on you
You better believe me, I wouldn't lie. We better quit Before you're through.

They're gonna get ya at 12 o'clock high, got their sights Set low on you
You better believe me, I wouldn't lie. We better quit Before you're through

10. DETROIT 442

You know he can't be tested, he can't be read or found
Urban grey takes breath away, he wants to push his pedal to The ground
And the night's what's right, puts him at the wheel
Well, I eat danger, any stranger is all right
Feel hot to go like Jimmy O, dodging flying objects at the show
And the lights make me fight
In Detroit 442, maybe, baby, I could ride with you.

This town's a concrete factory and Dad and Mum look just Like me
I'm on the plant assembly line. Too late now. Too far behind
You said you wanna hang around, no-one really cares where you go
Take your time. Things never change.

In Detroit 442, maybe, baby, I could ride with you
In Detroit 442, maybe, baby, I could ride with you
In Detroit 442, maybe, baby, I could ride with you
In Detroit 442, maybe, baby, I could ride with you.

One more to market, one more piggie, and they all, they all Look just like me, yeah.


11. YOUTH NABBED AS SNIPER

Don't look in here, yeah
Sundown finds him out of town on the overpass
His inner self glued to his point twenty-two
Dirty metal in the speed of night, lights and broken glass
My heart can destroy all I see
Moving streets all make me lonely
Come to me and be mine only
I can hide us far from sight, but you must wait and I must Fight this nothingness
Walls, I see my little room
I hear my parent's friends
I hope that my actions make amends
I would like to kill for love but I don't know how
Here I lie so high above the crowd
Busy streets all make me lonely
Come to me and be mine only.

I can move us through the night, but you must wait and I Must fight this emptiness
Black top burns with silent screams
Others stop my dreams
Lightning Crash! Crash! Crash!
Fear causes some to live, others die real cool
I died in the evening after school
Be mine only
Be my own
Be mine only
Be my own.


12. X.OFFENDER

I saw you standing on the corner, you looked so big and fine.
I really wanted to go out with you, so when you smiled,
I laid my heart on the line
You read me my rights and then you said "Let's go" and nothing more
I thought of my nights, and how they were
They were filled with.

I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in
I had to know so I asked
You just had to laugh.

We sat in the night with my hands cuffed at my side
I look at your life and your style
I wanted nothing more
I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in
I had to know so I asked
You just had to laugh.

Walking the line, you were a marksman
Told me that law, like wine, is ageless
Public defender.
You had to admit
You wanted the love of a sex offender.

I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in
I had to know so I asked
You just had to laugh.

My vision in blue, I call you from inside my cell
And in the trial, you were there
With your badge and rubber boots.

I think all the time how I'm going to perpetrate love with you
And when I get out, there's no doubt I'll be sex offensive To you.


13. RIP HER TO SHREDS

(Hey! pssst, pssst! Here she comes now.)
Oh, you know her, would you look at that hair
Yeah, you know her, check out those shoes
She looks like she stepped out of the middle of somebody's Blues.

She looks like the Sunday comics
She thinks she's Brenda Starr
Her nose job is real atomic
All she needs is an old knife scar.

Yeah, she's so dull, come on rip her to shreds
She's so dull, come on rip her to shreds.

Oh, you know her, "Miss Groupie Supreme"
Yeah, you know her, "Vera Vogue" on parade
Red eye shadow! Green mascara!
Yuck! She's too much.

She looks like she don't know better
A case of partial extreme
Dressed in a Robert Hall sweater
Acting like a soap opera queen.

Yeah, she's so dull, come on rip her to shreds
She's so dull, come on rip her to shreds.

She got the nerve to tell me she's not on it
But her expression is too serene
Yeah, she looks like she washes with Comet
Always looking to create a scene.

Yeah, she's so dull, come on rip her to shreds
She's so dull, come on rip her to shreds
She's so dull. Rip her to shreds.

Oh, you know her, "Miss Groupie Supreme"
Yeah, you know her, "Vera Vogue" on parade
Yeah, you know her, with the fish-eating grin
She's so dull.

Yeah, she got the nerve to tell me!
Huh, she's so dull
Yeah, there she goes now
She making out with King Kong
She take her boat to Hong Kong
Well, bye bye sugar
And not a minute too soon.
