When i go fishing with my rod
I often get that urge
To fall asleep a sleep so deep that
No-one notices me

Don't want anyone to know my name
Don't want to get a fax
Don't want to meet the royal family
Just 'cause i've paid my tax

Don't wanna be seen or heard
Don't want to shout out loud
I want to be part of the herd
One of the crowd

Dressing individually doesn't impress me
I think that it's pathetic
Following fashion, i just like it
Don't i?

Don't wanna be seen or heard
Don't want to shout out loud
I want to be part of the herd
One of the crowd

(one of the crowd)
(one of the crowd)

Fishing
Fishing

I never fight, but every night
I think it's gonna be alright
I think i might think in spite of
Every - thing

Don't wanna be seen or heard
Don't want to shout out loud
I want to be part of the herd
One of the crowd

One of the crowd
One of the crowd
One of the crowd
One of the crowd

[how dare you? do you know who i am?]
[you look fabulous! - mmwah!]

I know what you think
It's clear as mud in your eyes
We're the plastic poseurs and prostitutes
You've obviously come to despise

But you don't know nothing
You're not hot enough to matter
You don't understand it's the glamorous life
A dream that no one can shatter

We're shameless
We will do anything
To get our fifteen minutes of fame
We have no integrity
We're ready to crawl
To obtain celebrity
We'll do anything at all

I'm ambitious
Believe me, i'm going to be big
I'm a slave to glamour
Applause and clamour
My makeup, my wardrobe, my wigs

Don't call me pathetic
I'm harder than you'll ever guess
Relentlessly tough, for when the going gets rough
The tough get their picture in the press

We're shameless
We will do anything
To get our fifteen minutes of fame
We have no integrity
We're ready to crawl
To obtain celebrity
We'll do anything at all

[it's going perfectly alright]
[how dare you? do you know who i am?]
[it's an absolute disgrace]

Tell me you love me
Admit it, you're really impressed
Would it not amuse you
For me to seduce you
Have you ever seen me undressed?

We're shameless
We will do anything
To get our fifteen minutes of fame (give me fifteen minutes)
We have no integrity
We're ready to crawl
To obtain celebrity
We'll do anything at all

We're shameless
We will do anything
To get our fifteen minutes of fame (give me fifteen minutes)
We have no integrity
We're ready to crawl to obtain celebrity

Go absolutely anywhere

Hey, headmaster, what's the matter with you?
Why're you always so serious, why so blue?
All the kids in the school have seen you
Being patient with the boys who fool you
When you used to hit them with your ruler
So independent too
Hey, headmaster, what's the matter with you?

There's a crisis rumoured in the school
The boys have cut their hair short to look cool
Examination time is drawing near
Disintegration of the football team
No one seems to want to play for real
In classroom, club or pool
Hey, headmaster, what're you gonna do?

There's an invitation in the post
To a reading party on the coast
Pack your bags up, you old bibliophile
Get together with your friends, who will
Give you time to think and time to kill
With independent hosts
Hey, headmaster, aren't you gonna go?
Hey, headmaster, aren't you gonna go?

I went looking for someone i couldn't find
Staring at faces by the serpentine
Walking slowly, i realised
You'd been and gone - i know you lied
That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression

The wind was chilly and the sky was dull
I went for shelter to the temple
Once inside i couldn't believe my eyes
You'd been and gone - i know you lied
That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression

Go to a club - you think i'll be there
I don't go 'cause i'm not a member
You said you went to apologise
It's plain to me that's one more lie
That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression (impression)
That's my impression

I went looking for someone i couldn't find
Staring at faces by the serpentine
Walking slowly, i realised
You'd been and gone - i know you lied

It's an expression
And a suggestion
I learned my lesson

I went looking for someone i couldn't find
Staring at faces by the serpentine

Zazou, what you're gonna do?
There's a lot of people coming for you
Zazou, comment allez-vous?
A knock on the door in the night

That zazou, he don't care
Dark glasses, long hair
Takes his time, sneers at men
Some ugly people want revenge

Zazou, comment allez-vous?
A knock on the door in the night (in the night)

In the night (in the night)

That zazou, he sleeps all day
Then down to select or le collisee
Sips his drinks, orders more
Says what he thinks and it's a crazy war

Zazou, what you're gonna do?
A knock on the door in the night
(in the night in the night ...)

Zazou, comment allez-vous?
A knock on the door in the night (the night the night)

And when the soldiers strut, all he cares about
Is love
When the flags are out, all he cares about
Is love
Well, there's a thin line between love and crime
And in this situation
A thin line between love and crime and -
Collaboration (-ration)

In the night
(in the night in the night in the night in the night ...)

(crime crime crime crime crime crime crime crime crime crime
Crime crime crime crime crime crime crime crime crime crime

Zazou, what you're gonna do?
There's a lot of people coming for you
Zazou, comment allez-vous?
A knock on the door in the night

Now everybody's under somebody's spell
Unless they've already gone to hell
In the streets you can hear the people say
That, zazou, he should be locked away!

When the soldiers strut, all he cares about
Is love
Oh, when the flags are out, all he cares about
Is love
And there's a thin line between love and crime
And in this situation
A thin line between love and crime and
Collaboration

I sometimes think that i'm too many people
Too many people, too many people
I sometimes think that i'm too many people
Too many people, too many people at once

The husband or the hedonist
The businessman or the communist
The artist or the showbiz creep
The lover or the nervous geek
The question of identity is one that's always haunted me
Whoever i decide to be depends on who is with me

I sometimes think that i'm too many people
Too many people, too many people
I sometimes think that i'm too many people
Too many people, too many people at once

The tactless twit putting his foot in it
Or the sensitive soul who's a role model
The urban jet setter - never at home
Or the country recluse - just leave me alone
Extrovert or introvert
Love is kind, and love hurts
Rebellion or conformity
What is my identity?

I sometimes think that i'm too many people
Too many people, too many people
I sometimes think that i'm too many people
Too many people, too many people at once

The intellectual and bon-viveur
Or the naive simpleton, so immature
A devoted son and family man
Or the wicked uncle who doesn't give a damn
How often these have tempted me
The question of identity depends on what i'm meant to be

I sometimes think that i'm too many people
Too many people, too many people
I sometimes think that i'm too many people
Too many people, too many people at once

I sometimes think that i'm too many people
Too many people, too many people
I sometimes think that i'm too many people
Too many people, too many people at once

A windy day
The cars in slow formation
Not far away
A final destination
One mother's son
His father's distant gaze, regretting
Where they went wrong
He always found it too upsetting

Me and my friend
We lived our lives completely
From start to end
You and your friend, so sweetly
With strength and pride
In spite of everything, and swimming
Against the tide
To obstinately hope of winning

And at the end
Your funny uncle staring
At all your friends
With military bearing
And stopped to stand
To smile and speak of you directly
Goodbye, shake hands
Like you did everything correctly

To wipe away the tears
No more pain, no fear
No sorrow or dying
No waiting or crying
These former things have passed away
Another life begins today

Anything to give their lives some meaning
Busy with their guns and dreaming

Said they would act (said they would act)

Anything to give their lives some meaning
In the evening
Running around with guns and
Said they would act (said they would act)

You gentlemen who think you have a mission
To purge us of the seven deadly sins
Should first sort out the basic food position
Then start your preaching, that's where it begins

You lot, who preach restraint and watch your waist as well
Should learn for all time how the world is run
However much you twist, whatever lies you tell
Food is the first thing, morals follow on

So first make sure that those, who now are starving
Get proper helpings, when we all start carving

What keeps mankind alive, the fact that millions
Are daily tortured, stifled, punished, silenced, oppressed
Mankind can keep alive, thanks to its brilliance
At keeping its humanity repressed
For once, you must not try to shirk the facts:
Mankind is kept alive by bestial acts.

You say the girls may strip with your permission (whoa!)
You draw the line dividing art from sin
So first sort out the basic food position
Then start your preaching, that's where it begins

Should learn for all time how the world is run
Whatever lies you tell, however much you twist
Food is the first thing, morals follow on

So first make sure that those, who now are starving
Get proper helpings, when we all start carving

What keeps mankind alive, the fact that millions

I hate you
I hate you
Nothing will ever be the same
Oh really
Don't be silly
I told you it was all a game
Whenever i see you or your work
It makes me feel like spitting
What's that noise?
Oh that
We've been expecting it for ages
It's the sound of the atom splitting

He's a villain,
Him over there
With a stocking on his head
Look, there's another one
They call themselves pinheads
What's that noise over there?
Is it the corrogated iron they're hitting?
No, no, it's perfectly normal
It's just the sound of the atom splitting

Whose side are you on anyway?
Is that some kind of threat?
Well, i suppose it will have to do
As long as you don't make too much mess
And would the last person to leave
- once you all finish kissing -
Turn the video on to record
You never know what you're missing
Bread and circuses
And maybe later
The sound of the atom splitting

Quiet at the back, please!
No whistling
It's the sound
The sound
The sound of the atom splitting

I hate you
I hate you
Quiet at the back, please!
No whistling

It's the sound
The sound
The sound of the atom splitting

It's the sound

Oh really
