01. Problem Child

Music & lyrics by Brian James, Rat Scabies
Stealin' cars lost in bars
Treating hard-to-be's like superstars
I wanna come home at 3AM
I love my records
Alright and I'm going to play 'em

Problem child, problem child
We think you live much too wild
Problem child, problem child
When you get home
Your daddy's gonna tan your hide

I gave a dose to my sister
Only need to be a teen-dream hipster
Don't care about my grades at school
Or my teacher
My Probation lady says, you ain't so cool

Problem child, problem child
We think you live much too wild
Problem child, problem child
When you get home
Your daddy's gonna tan your hide

Gave a dose to my sister
Only need to be a teen-dream hipster
Don't care about my grades at school
Or my teacher
My probation lady says, you ain't so cool

Problem child, problem child
We think you live much too wild
Problem child, problem child
When you get home
Your daddy's gonna tan your hide

Problem child, problem child
We think you live much too wild
Problem child, problem child
When you get home
Your daddy's gonna tan your hide

02. Don't Cry Wolf

Music & lyrics by Brian James
You don't have to listen
To what your parents say
They don't understand us
Their laws we don't obey
You can wear what you want
There ain't no uniform
Go where you want to go
Don't stay locked at home

Don't be a fool
Don't cry wolf
Don't be a fool
Don't cry wolf

You can't stand around now
Looking like fools
But there's a lot you could do
There ain't no rules
No point in getting bored
That won't help if you fall
So come and have some fun yeah
And help us smash it up

Don't be a fool
Don't cry wolf
Don't be a fool
Don't cry wolf

It's no good for you kids
Being told what to do
There's a lot of change for you
If you find something new

You don't have to listen
To what your parents say
They don't understand us
They're laws we don't obey
You can wear what you want
There ain't no uniform
Go where you want to go
Don't stay locked at home

Don't be a fool
Don't cry wolf
Don't be a fool
Don't cry wolf

Don't be a fool
Don't cry wolf
Don't be a fool
Don't cry wolf

03. One Way Love

Music & lyrics by Brian James
She don't care about your miseries
There ain't nothing you can do
She's afraid of all your injuries
Just makes you look a fool
I guess you better fall for another girl
Before you fall from above
Well I guess you better find yourself another girl
'Cause all you got is a one way

A one way a one way
A one way one way love
One way a one way
A one way one way love
One way a one way
A one way one way love
One way a one way
A one way one way love

She ain't the beauty that you used to know
She's the fastest girl in town
She ain't worried who's been shooting her
Bad boy shooters from around
I guess you better fall for another girl
Before you fall from above
Well I guess you better find yourself another girl
'Cause all you got is a one way

A one way a one way
A one way one way love
One way a one way
A one way one way love
One way a one way
A one way one way love
One way a one way
A one way one way love

She don't care about your miseries
There ain't nothing you can do
She's afraid of all your injuries
Just makes you look a fool
I guess you better fall for another girl
Before you fall from above
Well I guess you better find yourself another girl
'Cause all you got is a one way

A one way a one way
A one way one way love
One way a one way
A one way one way love
One way a one way
A one way one way love
One way a one way
A one way one way love

Hey you take a tip from me
You gotta change your one way love
Hey you take a tip from me
You gotta change your one way love
Hey you take a tip from me
You gotta change your one way love
Hey you take a tip from me
You gotta change your one way love

04. Politics

Music & lyrics by Brian James
I used to get real bored in class
I don't need no politics to make me dance
No rules no laws no regulations
No facist friends no race relations

I just wanna run around
I don't wanna settle down
Politically fashionable scene
Facist managers dreams

My politics don't sell clothes
And riots don't sell my soul
If I vote for something it's something I can see
Give me fun not anarchy

Just wanna run around
Don't wanna settle down
Politically fashionable scene
Facist managers dreams

I used to get real bored in class
I don't need no politics to make me dance
No rules no laws no regulations
No facist friends no race relations

I just wanna run around
Don't wanna settle down
Politically fashionable scene
Facist manager dreams
Dreams

05. Stretcher Case

Thought you were a problem
Thought you were a problem
Thought you were a problem
And you're a stretcher case baby

Say you could kiss like a dream
Say your kisses like peaches and cream
But while you're here
That don't mean a thing
'Cause you're a stretcher case baby

Thought you were a problem (problem)
Thought you were a problem (problem)
Thought you were a problem (problem)
You're a stretcher case baby

Make a little floor for the 30 year old whore
Soon you'll be let out
Not for your ecstacy but
It's your autopsy

Thought you were a problem (problem)
Thought you were a problem (problem)
Thought you were a problem (problem)
And you're a stretcher case baby

Sucker wanna pay so what do you say?
I'm gonna scream
You caught a brick in your face
That's why
You're a stretcher case baby

Thought you were a problem (problem)
Thought you were a problem (problem)
Thought you were a problem (problem)
And you're a stretcher case baby
Thought you were a problem (problem)
Thought you were a problem (problem)
Thought you were a problem (problem)
And you're a stretcher case baby
You

06. Idiot Box

I can turn you off
Well I just tried & left you off
Tumbling you made me art
But you sure ain't a rock'n'roll

People standing in the rain
Just to see that screen Verlaine
Supersonic I'll come back soon
'Cause all we got is unlucky moon

Billy singer don't waste my time
Just turning on to What's My Line
Preacher boy you're here this night
You should have road the golden stars

People standing in the rain
Just to see that screen Verlaine
Supersonic I'll come back soon
'Cause all we got is unlucky moon

Old friend Smith works for the box
Oh what a haggard face
Hope he gets a lot of shocks
From his Fender bass

People standing in the rain
Just to see that screen Verlaine
Supersonic I'll come back soon
'Cause all we got is unlucky moon

07. You Take My Money

Music & lyrics by Brian James
You take my money you slap my face
You take my money you take my place
You take my money just get up and go
You take my money and my f*ckin' sad show

You take my money
You take my money
You take my money

You take my money you mess me around
You take my money all seven pounds
You take my money for little kicks
You take my money make me feel real sick

You take my money honey
You take my money
You take my money

You take my money baby
But don't be funny baby
I can get hard if you make me fight
You suck my honey baby
Oh take my honey
I don't need you
You know I'm right alright

You take my money honey
You take my money

You take my money you slap my face
You take my money you take my place
You take my money just get up and go
You take my money and my f*ckin' sad show

You take my money
You take my money honey
You take my money

08. Alone

Music & lyrics by Brian James
Lying in the wiped out park
Where silver screams from the dark
There's no direction
A still erection to feel

Can you swallow the mist from the space
And suffer the dirt on your face
Well you can't imagine
The things that could happen this way

There's no reason to cry
Anyway you won't get no reply
'Cause you're alone
But not me not me

That painted face feels so sad
But it's the biggest thrill you're ever had
Well it's funny to think of the fun
That you link with this game

So why not be out of your mind?
Having a real good time
But don't bother to choose
Between calling this good or bad

There's no reason to cry
You won't get no reply
'Cause you're alone
But not me not me
I'm not alone

Lying in the wiped out park
Where silver screams from the dark
There's no direction
A still erection to feel

Can you swallow the mist from the space
And suffer the dirt on your face
Well you can't imagine
The things that could happen this way

There's no reason to cry
You won't get no reply
'Cause you're alone
But not me not me
I'm not alone
But you are

09. Your Eyes

It's your eyes
That confuse me
It's your eyes
Oh that use me

I miss your philly eyes
I miss your smooth white lies
Pass me a cigarette
Maybe I can forget

Your eyes
That confuse me
It's your eyes
Oh that use me

Give me another drink
That honey I can sink
All of these memories
That I can't get out of my mind

It's your eyes
That confuse me
Your eyes
Oh that use me

You won't have to look far
I'll be in the nearest bar
I feel so very cold and I'm feeling
So very old

Without your eyes
They confuse me
Your eyes
Oh that use me

I miss your philly eyes
I miss your smooth white lies
Pass me a cigarette
Maybe I can forget

Your eyes
That confuse me
Your eyes
Ah that use me

Your eyes
Your eyes
Your eyes
Your eyes

10. Creep (You Can't Fool Me)

Music & lyrics by Brian James
Think you're pretty mean
Acting James Dean
I look real tough
But it ain't good enough
With your heart on your clothes
You try and act with your pose
But if I look in your eyes
You just run and hide

You can't
You can't fool me
You can't
You can't fool me

Now the actions begun
You ain't scarin' no one
Just back him up quick
You only make me feel sick
Just going home
Leave us alone
Go and beat up your cat
I bet you're I bet you're good at that

You can't
You can't fool me
You can't
You can't fool me

Now the actions begun
You ain't scarin' no one
Just back him up quick
You only make me feel sick
Just going home
Leave us alone
Go and beat up your cat
I bet you're I bet you're good at that

You can't
You can't fool me
You can't
You can't fool me
You can't
You can't fool me
You can't
You can't fool me

11. You Know

Music & lyrics by Brian James
You've got your plastic cards
But you can't create
You've got your open bars
But you can't relate
Pretty as a mirror
Ugly as your smile
You won't fool anybody
Not even for a while

You know you know
You know honey you know
You know you know
You know you know

Can't stop thinkin' of you
All the ways you go on
Don't try to tell me baby
All your plastic has gone
You know we need your honey
Like I need a loan
Your time is running out now
Unless we're really on a go

Well you know you know
You know yes you know
You know you know
You know you know

You know you know
You know honey

You've got your plastic cards
But you can't create
You're got your open bars
But you can't relate
Pretty as a mirror
Ugly as your smile
You won't fool anybody
Not even for a while

You know why
You know you know
You know honey you know
You know you know
You know you know
You know you know

12. Help

Music & lyrics by Lennon-McCartney
Help, I need somebody,
Help, not just anybody,
Help, you know I need someone, help.

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody' s help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me.

And now my life has changed in oh so many ways,
My independence seems to vanish in the haze.
But every now and then I feel so insecure,
I know that I just need you like I've never done before.

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me.

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody' s help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me, help me, help me, oh.

13. Sick of Being Sick

Music & lyrics by Brian James
It's been long time since I stepped outside
Party's only just begun
Takes more than a dream to make me want to scream well
Gonna have me some fun
No way out of this city full of doubt it makes
Living seem like a sin
I'd better kick some ass
Get out real fast
I might as well give in
Sick of being sick
Sick of being sick
Sick of being sick
Sick of being sick
Been a long time since I stepped outside
Party's only just begun
Takes more than a dream to make me want to scream well
Gonna have me some fun
No way out of this city full of doubt it makes
Living seem like a sin
I'd better kick some ass
Get out real fast
I might as well give in
Sick of being sick
Sick of being sick
Sick of being sick
Sick of being sick
Sick of being sick
Sick of being sick
Sick of being sick (you wanna see me ill?)
Sick of being sick
