Street's like a jungle
So call the police Following the herd Down to Greece On holiday Love in the 90's Is paranoid On sunny beaches Take your chances looking for Girls who are boys Who like boys to be girls Who do boys like they're girls Who do girls like they're boys Always should be someone you really love Avoiding all work Because there's none available Like battery thinkers Count your thoughts on 1 2 3 4 5 fingers Nothing is wasted Only reproduced You get nasty blisters Du bist sehr schön But we haven't been introduced Girls who are boys Who like boys to be girls Who do boys like they're girls Who do girls like they're boys Always should be someone you really love |

Bank holiday comes six times a year Days of enjoyment to which everyone cheers Bank holiday comes with six pack a beer ...Then it's back to work A, G, A, I, N. Bank Holiday |

And into the sea
Goes pretty England and me Around the bay of Biscay And back for tea Hit traffic on the dogger bank Up the Thames to find a taxi rank Sail on by with the tide And go to sleep And the radio says: This is a low But it won't hurt you When you're alone It will be there with you Finding ways to stay solo Up the Tyne, Forth and Cramity There's a low in the high forties Saturday's locked away on the pier Not fast enough, dear And on the malin head Blackpool looks blue and red And the queen, she's gone round the bend Jumped off Land's End And the radio says: This is a low But it won't hurt you When you're alone It will be there with you Finding ways to stay solo This is a low But it won't hurt you When you're alone It will be there with you Finding ways to stay solo This is a low But it won't hurt you When you're alone It will be there with you Finding ways to stay solo |
