THE WILDHEARTS LYRICS

1. Junkenstein

White boy, white lie, two-faced dead guy
Too lust for life to die along with it
Take it, talk it, comb that carpet
Pull on the bone and chaser in secret
(Golden slumber Golden slumber)
We know where you've been and we know what you're buying
(Too weak to lift the rock that you're under)
You're pissing on friends and still you deny it

Fine, fine, Junkenstein
Keep it up son
Take a look at what you could have won

Low count, pissjoy, wet back, pin boy
Turn off the light and take the fake ticket
Ex-Pat, B-Plan, take the money sick man
No guts to face it let alone kick it
(Golden slumber Golden slumber)
Wanna try pain? Try pain as a real man
(Too weak to lift the rock that you're under)
Wanna try change? Try changing the program
You say you're so tired, not as tired as I am.

Fine, fine Junkenstein
You ain't so tough
Your eyes are never wide enough.

2. Nurse Maxim

I've had a drink and a smile in every port of heaven
And from a 5 on the dial I'm at 8, 9, 10 and 11

I've gotta find a way, I've gotta fix me a buzz
I've got a pain like a pain and I want it to stay
Could be yours, could be mine, could be there any time I want

Nurse! Make me well
I come here straight from hell so the ground is yours

I've been through anger, peace and honesty and all I got was patience, yes I did
But the good's getting better and the bad are merely minor frustrations

I've got to find a way to keep the way I find
Cos' the chances are good that it won't let you down
Like maybe drinking with Keef or seeing Dolly Parton's tits

Nurse! Make me well
De-louse me; clean me up 'til I'm free to go

Keep it maximum...

File under 'Lost in the truth somewhere' and you'll find me
I've got my hate and my fear and my hang-ups here to remind me
I gotta climb away, I gotta kick the crust
I've got to think like I do, like I always did
Keeping time for the kind that ain't out to waste time

Nurse! Make me fine
Remind me that there's never been a better time to be alive

To the better times
To the best times
To the bed times
The sheets are getting sticky.

Keep it maximum...

3. Anthem

The lights are on, the ships have gone
I'm fine and dry and much to my relief
I'm flying high, to beat the sky
And one by one my blues pass underneath
A time to live, a time to die
A time to open up your eyes and see

I'm in love with the rock 'n' roll world
I'm in love with the rock 'n' roll world
I'm in love with the rock 'n' roll world
I'm in love with the rock 'n' roll world

Why waste time to find the place
When all the time the world was mine to keep?
A time to live, a time to die
It's time to open up your eyes to see
Rocks and stones and breaking bones
The fits, the shakes, he tries to get some sleep

I'm in love with the rock 'n' roll world
I'm in love with the rock 'n' roll world
I'm in love with the rock 'n' roll world
I'm in love with the rock 'n' roll world
I'm in love with the rock 'n' roll world
Cos I'm in love with the rock 'n' roll world
I'm in love with the rock 'n' roll world
I'm in love with the rock 'n' roll world

Hold your breath and count to ten
So good to be so fucked up, oh yeah!

I'm in love with the rock 'n' roll world...

4. Urge

Okay, you were right,
I mean it's only fair, the up's gotta share with the down's
How's about we go out tonight? Let's just go walking around
Okay, so you piss me off just like everyone, only the ego is scarred
You're a little too soft and you think I'm a little too hard.

Well I, yes I can live those Saturdays
Yeah I, yes I can live those Saturdays
I keep rolling on a day at a time

Down, shake it off, beat the peak, got to keep the sucker down.
Shake it off, super freak, got to beat the fucker down
Down, shake it off, beat the peak, got to keep the sucker down.
Shake it off, super freak, got to beat the fucker down, down, down, down

Let's go away at the weekend,
Get blitzed and forget where we've been
Get some good sounds,
Get some friends around like Lee Harvey Oswald and Ween
Maybe a club, or a gig and we'll have it or get some good grass and relax.
No burning both ends of a candle, let's cover each other in wax.
And we can live those Saturdays
Yeah why? When we can live those Saturdays
We just roll along a week at a time.

Down, shake it off; beat the peak, got to keep the sucker down.
Shake it off, super freak, got to beat the fucker down
Down, shake it off, beat the peak, got to keep the sucker down.
Shake it off, super freak, got to beat the fucker down, down, down, down

Well I can live those Saturdays
Yeah I, well I can live those Saturdays

Down, shake it off, beat the peak, got to keep the sucker down.
Shake it off, superfreak, got to beat the fucker down
Down, shake it off, beat the peak, got to keep the sucker down.
Shake it off, superfreak, got to beat the fucker down
Down, shake it off, beat the peak, got to keep the sucker down.
Shake it off, superfreak, got to beat the fucker down
Down, shake it off, beat the peak, got to keep the sucker down.
Shake it off, superfreak, got to beat the fucker "Down"

5. Pissjoy

Everybody go, fetch the stereo
Take a ride in the car to a place I know
Monkeys in the park, shaking after dark
We'll be back in the morning with the scars to show
Feel a little sick, feel a little fine
And it all feels better by the second time
Home is where you are, welcome, it's supreme
Now relax... Take it easy, he's a friend of mine
Nobody round here wants your problems
Shut up and behave, you're giving pissjoy.

I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know
You're a real hair trigger but your lights are low
Steady on the one, easy Danny - o
For the headstrong lover it's the place to go
Dirty white and clean, social gasoline
It's a choice kids are making for they're seventeen
Needs to be addressed... culture to a tee
Where the rights ignore what the wrongs could mean.

Keep your gin and holy water
No-one even cares, you're giving pissjoy.

It's a viber, it's a viber,

And all the children sing
Piss-Joy, a-na-na-na-na
Piss-Joy, a-na-na-na-na
It's a viber, it's a viber,
And all the children sing
Piss-Joy, a-na-na-na-na
Piss-Joy, a-na-na-na-na

Everybody knows, everybody goes
To the dark for the high's and the light for low's
Basic is the need for freedom as a goal
Do it all in the name of Rock 'n' Roll
Feel a little sick, feel a little fine
And it all feels better by the second time
Home is where you are, proof is all you need
It's the time to connect with the life you lead.
No-one round here wants your problems
Shut up and behave, you're giving pissjoy.

It's a viber, it's a viber,

And all the children sing
Piss-Joy, a-na-na-na-na
Piss-Joy, a-na-na-na-na
It's a viber, it's a viber,
And all the children sing
Piss-Joy, a-na-na-na-na
Piss-Joy, a-na-na-na-na
It's a viber, it's a viber,
And all the children sing
Piss-Joy, a-na-na-na-na
Here to piss on my parade.
Piss-Joy, a-na-na-na-na
Here to piss on your parade...

6. Soundog Babylon

Something got me sinking in the bathtub
Thinking how to figure you out
Trying to figure out a way
How to open your mouth when the monologues cut
When the comfort of silence kind of scares it back shut

Something got me talking, (got me talk, talk, talking)
Something got me talking (got me talking about you, and)
Something got me talking, got me talk, talk, talking
Got me talking 'bout you, somebody like you

Honey you'd be mad to sit it out
Is it your silence making you lonely?
Or is your loneliness making you silent?
Sonny, are you thinking anything?
You might change your way of thinking
If we could only get you talking
Why don't you speak? Speak you fucker!

Soundog Babylon, keeping it on and on
Soundog Babylon, keeping it on and on

Something got me asking myself why you get so uptight
Why you bottle up the feelings you've been feeling 'till it doesn't feel right
Till it makes you feel small
Till your faith in mankind is inclined to be minimal

Something got me talking, (got me talk, talk, talking)
Something got me talking (got me talking about you, and)
Something got me talking, got me talk, talk, talking
Got me talking 'bout you, somebody like you

Honey you'd be mad to sit it out
Is it your silence making you lonely?
Or is your loneliness making you silent?
Sonny, are you thinking anything?
You might change your way of thinking
If we could only get you talking
Why don't you speak? Speak you fucker!

Soundog Babylon, keeping it on and on
Soundog Babylon, keeping it on and on

Soundog Babylon, keeping it on and on
Soundog Babylon, keeping it on and on...

7. Now Is The Colour

Check out the scene
The makers of taste are all peachy and keen
The pace is of summer the height is a climb
Now is the colour and blue is the time.

Throw in your keys
The party isn't over till you're down on your knees
Pick out your brother the choice is sublime
Now is the colour and blue is the time.

Sit yourself back while the enemy tire
We're choking down fuel just to piss on the fire
There's people brought down by the need to be beat
In a bid to be rid of the stench of defeat
There'll be a hundred dead kids in every block
A hundred blind pigs all sick from the shock
And what do ya know? The shit's all ready to blow

Feeling secure?
They need a disease 'cos they invented the cure
The city's asleep in the height of it's prime
Now is the colour and blue is the time

Cop a 'Class A'
You got to keep illegal while the kids are away
It tastes a lot better when you know it's a crime
Now is the colour and blue is the time

Feel the modern air, feel the tension above ya
Kiss your Mum and Dad 'cos you know that they love ya
Supply and demand for the culture at hand
He's a boy-girl 21st century man
There's a scream in your gut as you cry in your beer
Well that's all well and good but it can't happen here
And what do ya know? The shit's all ready to blow.

Sit yourself back while the enemy tire
We're choking down fuel just to piss on the fire
There's people brought down by the need to be beat
In a bid to be rid of the stench of defeat
There'll be a hundred dead kids in every block
A hundred blind pigs all sick from the shock
And what do ya know? The shit's all ready to blow.

8. Heroin

Na-na-na-ni-ni-ni-now
Na-na-na-ni-ni-ni-now
Na-na-na-ni-ni-ni-now
Na-na-na-ni-ni-ni-now
Na-na-na-ni-ni-ni-now
Na-na-na-ni-ni-ni-now
Na-na-na-ni-ni-ni-now
Na-na-na-ni-ni-ni-now
Na-na-na-ni-ni-ni-now

While you were walking round Powys Square
I was in Highgate, y'all know where
And you was wearing all my favourite clothes
Because they looked much better on you.

Your love brings me down like heroin
Be the hero in the end, in the end of the film
Your love brings me down like heroin
Be the hero in the end, in the end of the

Na-na-na-ni-ni-ni-now
Na-na-na-ni-ni-ni-now
Na-na-na-ni-ni-ni-now
Na-na-na-ni-ni-ni-now
Na-na-na-ni-ni-ni-now
Na-na-na-ni-ni-ni-now

When I come home you ask me why
I tell you the truth smacked up in a lie
All I said was all I'd say
It never got me anyway.

Your love brings me down like heroin
Be the hero in the end, in the end of the film
Your love brings me down like heroin
Be the hero in the end, in the end of the film...

9. Why You Lie

Regardez, this one's a whiner, this one's a wimp
Walks with a smile and talks with a limp
Lives by excuses, thinks we believe
Then gets more confused and in time more naive
Stays in the past cos' the future has gone
Into trying to remember which story to be on
Suffers the silence, harbours the guilt
Plays up the neighbour routine to the hilt
Don't show in the accent, don't show in the eyes
Don't know if suspicion is justified
No patience
No fun, no patience
No fun, no patience
No fun, no patience
In the mist of reaction are those who deny
That's why human beings lie

Why, why, why d'ya have to lie
Why d'ya have to lie to me? Huh!
Why, why, why d'ya have to lie
Why d'ya have to lie to me? Huh!
Why, why, why d'ya have to lie
Why d'ya have to lie to me? Huh!
Why, why, why d'ya have to lie
Why d'ya have to lie to me? Huh!

Takes your attention, makes you complete
No woman and no man can foresee this deceit
And extinction of what you believe in
The friendship, the trust and the way you was feeling
You bought it, framed it, claimed and became it
Bathed in the sunlight of something so tainted
You're stupid! (yeah) I'm stupid! (yeah)
And that's why we buy into co-operation.
With those afraid of fear, with those afraid of pain
With those afraid of fucking up and taking the blame
They're all fear no fun
They're all fear no fun
It's all fear no fun
It's all fear no fun
Maybe afraid of a smack in the eye?
That's why human beings lie

Why, why, why d'ya have to lie
Why d'ya have to lie to me? Huh?
Why, why, why d'ya have to lie
Why d'ya have to lie to me? Huh?
Why, why, why d'ya have to lie
Why d'ya have to lie to me? Huh!
Why, why, why d'ya have to lie
Why d'ya have to lie to me? Huh!
See huh? Do ya see? Do ya see?

Why, why, why d'ya have to lie
Why d'ya have to lie to me? Huh?
Why, why, why d'ya have to lie
Why d'ya have to lie to me? Huh?...

10. Thunderfuck

And this is all, relax
There is no time to relapse
Take it green, take it blue

And with the world in his hands
Where there were fields now there's land
We made it here, make it this time

Because I can't picture a day
When he was born with nothing to say
I guess I knew that he would freak out
Thinking about old times
Thinking about old times

And with the world in his ass
And with the world upperclass
