What's it like to play a part?
What's it like to have a wooden heart?
Every word you say is so rehearsed
You think your clothes and actions control the universe

Listen, what you'd better do
Listen, better change your head
Listen, or there's nothing we can do
Listen to the one who will change your world

You're the face upon a playing card
A coloured painted cold visage
[you're] just a pawn of somebody somewhere
Only trouble is you're gonna get no-where

Listen, what you'd better do
Listen, better change your head
Listen, or there's nothing we can do
Listen to the one who will change your world

What's it like to play a part?
[you] got a wooden heart
[you're] just a puppet on a string
A nothing, a no-one, no style
[you] just play a part
[you're] just a pawn of someone somewhere
And you'll get no-where

Listen what you'd better do
Listen, better change your head
Listen, or there's nothing we can do
Listen to the one who will change your world
Gonna change your world
Gonna change your world

It's the season of the dark horse
The ocean of night
It's the angel of mercy
Leaving you behind
In this moment
You ache for the cure
You're pleading
Save me
Give me some more

There's no shelter tonight
Escape from the pain
There is nothing
No end to this game

You're so wicked
Evil and cruel
It won't save you
Save me
From what i'm gonna do

You're just a number
You're just a victim
A dead man walking
Buried alive

Hold out for a better hand
Wait for better days
You can feel it coming
The fury of my rage
My vengeance
Will rain down on you
There's no mercy
Have mercy
In what i'm gonna do

All around the world
I said listen, listen what i say now
For every boy and girl
Wanna hear some happy baby talk

Everything is mine
And mine, mine because i choose you
I lose it everytime
Just to hear some of your baby talk

I once had a dream
A feeling inside
A yearning so bad you have to shout it out
Hey kid look at me
You can make it real
You can get it if you want

When i first started out
They shut all the doors
But i laughed at all the doors
And i kicked them down
Here's my energy for you
Step into the light while you still feel young

I look in your eyes
And i reach for your hands
Well i'll do anything
To make you understand
That i'm still the seeker
For your english dream
Don't you give up trying
And don't you let me down

The english dream - don't let me down
The english dream - don't let me down
The english dream - don't let me down
The english dream - don't let me down

I look in your eyes
And i reach for your hands
Well i'll do anything
To help you understand
That i'm still the seeker
For your english dream
Don't you
Don't you give up trying
And don't you let me down

The english dream - don't let me down
The english dream - don't let me down
The english dream - don't let me down
The english dream - don't let me down

Jailhouse rocker roots training down
In memphis
Liverpool johnny rocks out round paul's place
Seconds away as the rhythm comes down
King faces king in the ring for the crown
King rocker king rocker - rock rock rock
King kong

Elvis from the body shakes from the hipbone
Quarry st. kids in leather take hamburg
Creole was sharp but his guitar was acoustic
Go johnny go use your electric

King rocker king rocker - rock rock rock
King kong

Round three - ali buzzin like a bee,
Elvis in the corner and you won't catch me
Round four - johnny lookin' poor,
Gotta find a hit gotta even up the score
Round five - some jive, elvis took a dive
Waitin' for the towel more dead than alive
Round six, seven, eight, nine, -

Ref stops the fight with the men on forty two
For a rematch in heaven
If they ever come through

Of king rocker king rocker -rock rock rock
King kong

Never wanna be an adult
Always wanna be in revolt

Youth youth youth

Don't wanna spend my life saving up for things
Don't wanna have what a steady job brings
I don't want security
Don't want responsibility

Don't wanna stay at home not making any noise
I've always got to be out
I've always got to have a choice
I don't want security
Don't want responsibility

Youth youth youth

I don't want no uniform
I don't want no book of rules

You and me have a passion
Escaping the days that go by
Just our desire
Patronise a secret painted salon
Let us talk about the live
Where the skins aren't out

But it was o.k.
It was all right
We were, we were
The untouchables tonight
The untouchables tonight

You and me while we're waitin' on a corner
Share a packet of two
With all the fools to savour
We laughed and cried, split our sides
At what they told us

But it will be o.k.
It will be all right
We were, we were
The untouchables tonight
The untouchables tonight

I've coloured my life blue and
Ice diamonds are the line of my life
But time strikes against us
It takes some of us home
Will pick our souls, turn up in you
While it sets me free

All things young and blue, what'll i do
When you're gone too

(scat)

It'll be o.k.
It'll be all right
If i believe tonight
If i believe we're right
And then we'll be, we'll be
The untouchables tonight
The untouchables tonight
The untouchables tonight
The untouchables tonight
The untouchables tonight

The first[last?] lot make a few mistakes
They didn't die young, they got big waists
We got let down at the back of earls court
[+and?] we sware that night we'd never get caught
Cos we were smarter than they were (they were)

We started out with guitars and hate
With our rooms in the clouds we could hardly wait
Our legs apart, our amps up high
The stage caught fire (then?) the charts blew up
And we play more than they do (they do)

Promises promises
Do you remember the promises promises - i do-
Do you remember the promises promises - i do-

We made our shirts with sprays and knives
Then we saved up for weeks for malcolm's strides
Our hair was short we said what we thought
We'd never be scared [we'd] never be bought
Never sell out like they did - they did

Promises promises
Do you remember the promises promises - i do-
Do you remember the promises promises - i do-

Soon you'll get your gear form marks and sparks
Punk'll take over top of the pops
Think you're having a real cool time?
Watch out kid you're next in line - oh yeah

Do you remember the promises promises - i do-
Do you remember the promises promises - i do-

Where were you in '75
When there weren't no gigs and we were jive
(promises promises promises remember)
No one gave a shit for our rock'n'roll dream
R men laughed re-release the cream
(promises promises promises remember)
And they thought we were stupid
And they thought we were stupid
And we promised we'd get back get back
Do you remember the promises promises
Do you remember the promises promises
What i do, what i do, what i do, what
I do, i do, i do, what i do, what i do

Promises promises promises remember
Promises promises promises remember
Promises promises promises remember
Promises promises promises remember

Promises promises promises remember
Promises promises promises remember
Promises promises promises remember
Promises promises promises remember
Promises promises promises remember

Well i met her downtown
I think we'd spoken
I think we'd spoken once before
The sound was loud
I said yeah, i said yeah give me more
And something deep inside
Started engines of desire
And y'know there ain't a chance
Of stopping love, love like fire
Love like fire

She was great so great to be with
I felt so good when she was there
My time was coming at me
And i swore i'd never care
And i thought there ain't nothing else
All the poets here are liars
When you're chasing something real
You get burnt by love like fire
Love like fire

I thought she likes the rest
And i know i'm in control
I can take it or i can leave it
You can forget that lovers role
The world you thought you knew
Gets strangled by the wire
And you crash while running blind
Destroyed by love, love like fire
Love like fire
Love like fire

I know you've heard these things before
You get the same reply
But all these things are new to me
So i'm asking why?
Isn't it the truth you want to hear
Not lies and jealousy

From the heart
I can tell no lies
From the heart
I can tell no lies, lies, lies

I just want to give the feeling
Rock and roll gave to me
And to say what i believe in
In honesty
Isn't it the truth
You want to hear not lies and jealousy?

From the heart
I can tell no lies
From the heart
I can tell no lies, lies, lies

Like lennon said for me
I believed in ray and keef
Like townshend said for me
Rock and roll made me free
From the heart
From the heart
From the heart
Rock and roll made me free
From the heart
From the heart
From the heart
No lies

(part 1)
Kenny silvers the boy who disappeared
Kenny silvers the boy who disappeared

Kenny gets by on a fiddle almost every day
Chasing his childlike dream in an english town
Ambition like his street is paved in grey
Nothing made much sense anyway
Kenny silvers the boy who disappeared
Kenny silvers the boy who disappeared

Kenny working the local teenage underground
Searching his pent up emotions
Getting nowhere fast
His anger saved from days of hanging around
Explodes in some dark battleground
Kenny silvers the boy who disappeared
Kenny silvers the boy who disappeared

Kenny may think he's a king
But he wants a queen
Looking for real romance had it
With the backstreets
Tired of playing every game in the town
Waiting for the girl that he'd once seen
Kenny silvers the boy who disappeared
Kenny silvers the boy who disappeared
Kenny silvers the boy who disappeared
Kenny silvers the boy who disappeared

(part 2)
Then one day he found her
While out cruisin' the high street
Knew this love at first sight
As they ran for the first bus
He was thinking of diamonds
While she held his hand
And rain didn't seem to matter
As they reached their promised land

Kenny silvers
Kenny silvers
Kenny silvers
Kenny silvers

But his past would always find him
And he'd have to move again
Well he'd think may be just one more job
Would help to ease the pain
On the run in some cold room
As shelter from the dark
They swore some day together
They'd rip this world apart

Kenny silvers
Kenny silvers
Kenny silvers
Kenny silvers

And though i never knew him
I know how he feels
And though i never knew him
I know how he feels

Kenny silvers
Kenny silvers
Kenny silvers
Kenny silvers

Yesterday by the paperstand i felt the power
Of another religion
Rebels with a cause came out of the sun
And spoke the only language they'd been given
Creepers tapping out the beat as i felt the heat
Man they sure looked neat
Well tonight for sure
You could feel the same as me
We didn't have to fight
On the other side of town
Running with the boss sound
Running with the boss sound
Running with the boss sound

In the day we use machines or brains
Cos we need hard cash for living
And later between tracks & raps with friends
We'll find some time for loving
Stratocasters straff the sky
As disco johnny hustles by
Man those feet can fly, high
Well tonight let's dance and risk romance
Baby let's take a chance
We'll make it in a single bound
Running with the boss sound
Running with the boss sound
Running with the boss sound

I feel it in the air and i know that you're there
We won't let you down
The phantoms of the underground
Running with the boss sound
Running with the boss sound
Running with the boss sound

Racing wild with the radios blasting
Out ready steady go
As we rip through the charts
Crashing like angles
At the end of rocks rainbow
Electricity runs in my blood like gods
Man if you could see it
By tonight for sure you'd be the same as me
A junkie needing more
Our feet burning up the ground
Running with the boss sound
Running with the boss sound
Running with the boss sound

Yeah we're burning up the ground
Where the rockabilly beat pounds
With the ska rhythm pressing down
Where the skinhead moon stomp pounds
Where the heavy metal comes down
When the punk rockers are round
Yeah you and i are found
Yeah you and i are found
Running with the boss sound
Running with the boss sound
Running with the boss sound
