Underbelly

Take a glimpse of the world

As your vision unfurls
In the words of Monty Burns
"Hello Cruel World"

This is a place
Once said was great
But make no mistake
It's only fear and hate
That makes the wheels go round
The Trapdoor Sound
That you hear as you hang
As it all goes bang

Life loves a winner
Join the losers and the sinners
In.... The Underbelly Town

The Underbelly Town.

The Underbelly Town

I can see the faces
Souls of non-sinners
Made unclean
By the rolling of the machine
I see the pressure
From the pages of the TV
They're out to get you
Out to get me

Fear shakes the hand of the man
As he does what he can
It's the 90's for the family plan
And the woman is led
By the crap she's fed
Convinced by the mirror
That her figure's getting bigger

The Underbelly Town

The Underbelly Town, yeah
The Underbelly Town

This stuff is never enough...
This stuff is never enough...
This stuff is never enough...
Enough, enough, enough
Is never enough

The Underbelly Town
The Underbelly Town, yeah
The Underbelly Town

This stuff is never enough...

This stuff is never enough...

This stuff is never enough...

Enough, enough, enough
Is never enough

When I’m With You

I never needed love
Like I need you
And I never lived for nobody
But I live for you
Ooh babe
Lost in love is what I feel
When I'm with you
Maybe it's the way you touch me
With the warmth of the sun
Maybe it's the way you smile
I come all undone
Ooh babe
Lost in love is what I feel
When I'm with you
Baby ooh I get chills when I'm with you oh
Oh baby my world stands still when I'm with you
When I'm with you
I never cared for nobody
Like I care for you
And I never wanted to share the things
I want to share to with you
Ooh babe
Lost in love is what I feel

When I’m With You
Baby ooh I get chills when I'm with you oh
O baby my world stands still when I'm with you oh oh
Baby ooh I get chills when I'm with you oh
O baby my world stands still when I'm with you
When I'm with you
When I'm with you

Home

Good to be back home in the pubs with the people that you love

And a crawl around the clubs getting high
GTBBH all alone when you're running up the phone bill
Trying to raise the cents for the rent
GTBBH with your kid and you ask him what he did
Well, he burned the house down to the ground
GTBBH with the wife and to have some kind of life
And to wake up and break up again
Good to be back home
Good to be back home

GTBBH on a love tip, gotta keep a grip
When the ship's going down, you can flip
GTBBH off the junk food, seen as a clean dude
And instill a clean bill of health
GTBBH hear the sounds of the city all around
And the music, the new licks you found
GTBBH at the Lane for a relegation game
As the boys get caned once again
Good to be back home
Good to be back home
Good to be back home
Good to be back home

I'm not homeless, I'm just restless
I get itchy feet and reckless
I've been traveling so long, cracking
I don't really know what is happening
Here is there is anywhere and home is my ass on a chair
Then I wish I was gone and then I wish I was home
Then I wish I was gone (AWOL) then I wish I was home (AWOL)
AWOL, AWOL
Then I wish I was gone (AWOL) then I wish I was home (AWOL)
Hello home

Psycho Killer

I can't seem to face up to the facts
I'm tense and nervous and I can't relax
I can't sleep 'cause my bed's on fire
Don't touch me, I'm a real live wire

Psycho Killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est?
Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa, better
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away, oh-oh-oh
Psycho Killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est?
Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa, better
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ay-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya, ooh

You start a conversation, you can't even finish it
You're talking a lot, but you're not saying anything
When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed
Say something once, why say it again?

Psycho Killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est?
Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa, better
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away, oh-oh-oh
Psycho Killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est?
Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa, better
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ay-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya

Ce que j'ai fait, ce soir-là
Ce qu'elle a dit, ce soir-là
Réalisant mon espoir
Je me lance vers la gloire, okay
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
We are vain and we are blind
I hate people when they're not polite

Psycho Killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est?
Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa, better
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away, oh-oh-oh
Psycho Killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est?
Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa, better
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ai-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya, ooh

Stray Cat Strut

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Black and orange stray cat sittin' on a fence
I ain't got enough dough to pay the rent
I'm flat broke but I don't care
I strut right by with my tail in the air
Stray cat strut, I'm a ladies cat
I'm a feline Casanova, hey man that's that
Get a shoe thrown at me from a mean old man
Get my dinner from a garbage can
Don't go crossing my path
I don't bother chasing mice around
I slink down the alleyway looking for a fight

Howling to the moonlight on a hot summer night
Singin' the blues while the lady cats cry
"Wild stray cat, you're a real gone guy"
I wish I could be as carefree and wild
But I got cat class and I got cat style
I don't bother chasing mice around
I slink down the alleyway looking for a fight
Howling to the moonlight on a hot summer night
Singin' the blues while the lady cats cry
"Wild stray cat, you're a real gone guy"
I wish I could be as carefree and wild
But I got cat class and I got cat style

The Game Is Over

Is the circle broken
Have we run our course
All the gestures token
Things are getting rough but
We don't care it's broken

One final parting shot
It's the one heard round the world
In all that we landed
We wind up for a (unknown) but
We don't care it's broken

Ten times, I hit you
Ten times you hit me back
Now the score is even
It's my turn for attack but
We don't care it's broken
We don't care it's broken

I don't understand what makes you act this way
Given my all
Think fast
About to pass
Is there any other way

At last it's finally over
That's what she would say
We may have disagreed
But then I'm always late
We don't care it's broken
We don't care it's broken

I don't understand what makes you act this way
Given my all
Think fast
About to pass
Is there any other way

Hit hard
Below the belt
Yes, make it hurt
Yes, make it felt
Dig fast, move out today
There is no other way

We don't care it's broken

I don't understand what makes her act this way
Given my all
Think fast
At last
Is there any other way

Think hard
But not today
The Game Is Over

St. Elmo’s Fire

Growin' up, you don't see the writing on the wall
Passin' by, movin' straight ahead, you knew it all
But maybe sometime if you feel the pain
You'll find you're all alone, everything has changed
Play the game, you know you can't quit until it's won
Soldier on, only you can do what must be done
You know in some way you're a lot like me
You're just a prisoner and you're tryin' to break free
I can see a new horizon underneath the blazin' sky
I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher
Gonna be your man in motion, all I need's this pair of wheels
Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's fire (Ooh, oooh, oooh)
Burning up, don't know just how far that I can go
(Just how far I go)
Soon be home, only just a few miles down the road
I can make it, I know, I can
You broke the boy in me but you won't break the man
I can see a new horizon underneath the blazin' sky
I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher
Gonna be your man in motion, all I need's this pair of wheels
Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's fire
I can climb the highest mountain, cross the wildest sea
I can feel St. Elmo's fire burnin' in me, burnin' in me
Just once in his life a man has his time
And my time is now, I'm coming alive

I can hear the music playin', I can see the banners fly
Feel like you're back again, and hope ridin' high
Gonna be your man in motion, all I need's this pair of wheels
Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's fire
I can see a new horizon underneath the blazin' sky
I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher
Gonna be your man in motion, all I need's this pair of wheels
Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's fire
I can climb the highest mountain, cross the wildest sea
I can feel St. Elmo's fire burnin' in me
Burnin', burnin' in me, I can feel it burnin'
St. Elmo's Fire, St. Elmo’s Fire
