Lyrics


1. SOMETHING BETTER CHANGE

Don't you like the way I move when you see me?
Don't you like the things that I say?
Don't you like the way I seem to enjoy it?
When you shout things but I don't care

Something's happening and it's happening right now
You're too blind to see it
Something's happening and it's happening right now
Ain't got time to wait

I said something better change
I said something better change
I said something better change
I said something better change

Don't you like the way I dance?
Does it bug you?
Don't you like the cut of my clothes?
Don't you like the way I seem to enjoy it?
Stick my fingers right up your nose

Change!


2. STRAIGHTEN OUT

And The First Commandment Reads
That Human Flesh And Blood
Is Sacred
Until There Is No More Food

The Break Of Day Has Come
I See The Cracks Have Just Begun
To Line The Walls
Line The Walls
I Want To See The Little Girls And Boys
Destroy Their Toys
And Line The Walls
Line The Walls

(Chorus)
What A Fate For Little Girls
British Boys' Minds In A Whirl
Tell You Things That'll Make Your Curls
Straighten Out
Straighten Out
Straighten Out
Straighten Out

For Twenty Years Or More
Just Tell Me What You're Living For
So Tell Me Now
Tell Me Now
Frustrated Intellect
That Government Capitulation
Follows Now
Follows Now

(Chorus)

The Break Of Day Has Come
I See The Cracks Have Just Begun
To Line The Walls
Line The Walls
I Want To See The Little Girls And Boys
Destroy Their Toys
And Line The Walls
Line The Walls

(Chorus)

Straighten Out...


3. GER A GRIP ON YOURSELF

Didn't have the money round to buy a Morry Thou
Been around and seen a lot to shake me anyhow
Begged and borrowed sometimes I admit I even stole
The worse crime that I ever did was play some rock 'n roll.

(Chorus)
But the money's no good
Just get a grip on yourself
But the money's no good
Just get a grip on yourself

Suffering convictions on a two-way stretch inside
The air in here is pretty thin, I think I'll go outside
Committed for insanity and crimes against the soul
The worst crime that I ever did was play some rock 'n roll.

(Chorus)

And you should know
Now I find from week to week the sentence sticking fast
Turn the corner, rub my eyes and hope the world will last
Stranger from another planet welcome to our hole
Just strap on your guitar and we'll play some rock 'n roll

(Chorus)

And you should know


4. HANGING AROUND

Big girl in the red dress
She's just trying to impress us
And she's got the barley fever
But she doesn't make a sound
She's just hanging around
She's just hanging around

Down the court road early
With the Hustlers big and burly
There's a million of 'em selling
And the buyers can be found
They're just hanging around
They're just hanging around

(Chorus)
Christ he told his mother
Christ he told her not to bother
Cos he's alright in the city
Cos he's high above the ground
He's just hanging around (hanging around)
He's just hanging around (hanging around)
He's just hanging around (hanging around)
He's just hanging around (hanging around)

One of 'em comes over
Got a monkey on his shoulder
And the monkey's getting grinner
But his eyes are on the ground
He's just hanging around
He's just hanging around

I'm moving to a coleheme
With the leather all around me
And the sweat is getting steamy
But their eyes are on the ground
They're just hanging around
They're just hanging around

(Chorus 2x)

He's just hanging around (hanging around)
He's just hanging around
