1. TOMMY GUN




Tommy gun – you ain’t happy ‘less you got one
Tommy gun – ain’t gonna shoot the place up just for fun
Maybe he wants to die for his country
Maybe he wants to kill for his country
Whatever he wants, he’s gonna get it

Tommy gun – you better strip IT down for a customs run
Tommy gun – waiting at the airport ‘till Kingdom Come
An’ we can watch you make it on the nine o’clock news
Standing there in Palestine lighting the fuse
Whatever you want, you’re gonna get it

Tommy gun
Tommy gun

Tommy gun – a-you’ll be dead when your war is won
Tommy gun – but did you have to gun down everyone?
I can see its kill or be killed
A nation of destiny has got to be fulfilled
Whatever you want, you’re gonna get it

Tommy gun – a-you can be hero in an age of none
Tommy gun – I’m cutting out your picture from page one
I’m gonna a get a jacket just like yours
An’ give my false support to your cause
Whatever you want, you’re gonna get it
All right!

Okay, so let’s agree about the price
An’ make it one jet airliner for ten prisoners

Boats and tanks and planes, it's your game
Kings and Queens and Generals, LEARNING your name
I'VE see all the innocents, the human sacrifice
And if death comes so cheap, then the same goes for life



2. 1-2 CRUSH ON YOU



Standing in a queue of a school canteen
Guys on the corner they were laughin' at me
But I don't mind if they see it all
You know I gotta come clean
I gotta come clean
I got a crush on you


My mind don't need it but my body do
A little bit of loving and attention for you
Although we're only strangers
They don't need to know
I gotta cum clean, I gotta cum clean
Ooh, I got a crush on you


I wanna get serious right away
1-2, I got a crush on you
what you doin' today or any other day?
1-2, I got a crush on you
Just one look and I go insane
1-2, I got a crush on you


Your Daddy never comes to get you
'Cos he lives so far away
But his I-talian chauffeur shows up every day
But I'll get you in the corner, I'll get you all alone
I gotta cum clean, I gotta cum clean
Ooh, I got a crush on you


1-2, I got a crush on you - one
2, I got a crush on you - one
2, I got a crush on you
I said 1-2
I got a crush on you


Why should I get a crush on you
