1. _ My Selfish Gene
Verse
You, me, and destiny
Guess that it was never meant to be
All you did was give me allergy
I'm not looking for your sympathy
Chorus
My selfish gene fills up my spleen with bile
And all the while i thought you gave a damn

2. _ I Am The Mob
I put horses' heads in people's beds 'cos i am the mob
When duty calls gonna bust some balls 'cos i am the mob
Don't try to tell me it's not one for the money
Two for the money, three for the money
Am i your easter bunny? come on
I try my level best, my best to please
But i'm gonna put a bullet between your knees
Baby come on, oh just tell them
Stop blowing the don, put his kecks back on 'cos i am the mob d
Stop mucking around with a brand new sound 'cos i am the mob
Don't try to tell me it's not one for the money
Two for the money, three for the money

I'll try my level best, my best to please
But i'm gonna put a bullet between your knees
Baby come on, just please tell them

Luca brasi ah he sleeps with the fishes, missus

Ah luca brasi ah he sleeps with the fishes
Luca brasi ah he sleeps with the fishes
Luca brasi ah he sleeps with the fishes

3. _ Mulder And Scully
Intro
I'd rather be liberated, i find myself captivated
Stop doing what you . . . keep doing it too . . .
I'd rather stay bold and lonely, i dream i'm your one and only
Stop doing what you . . . keep doing it too . . .
Things are getting strange, i'm starting to worry
This could be a case for mulder and scully
Things are getting strange, now i can't sleep alone
I'd rather be jumping ship, i find myself jumping straight in
Stop doing what you . . . keep doing it too . . .
Forever be dozy and dim, i wake myself thinking of him
Stop doing what you . . . keep doing it too . . .
My bed is made for two and there's nothing i can do
So tell me something i don't know
If my head is full of you is there nothing i can do?
Must we all march in two by two by two?
Things are getting strange, i'm starting to worry
This could be a case for mulder and scully
Things are getting strange, now i can't sleep alone
And as for some happy ending, i'd rather stay single and thin
Stop doing what you . . . keep doing to me
Things are getting strange, i'm starting to worry
This could be a case for mulder and scully
Things are getting strange, now i can't sleep alone here
Things are getting strange, i'm starting to worry
This could be a case for mulder and scully
Things are getting strange, now i can't sleep alone
So what have you got to say about that?
And what does someone do without love?
And what does someone do with love?
And what have you got to say about that?

4. _ Road Rage
If all you've got to do today is find peace of mind
Come round you can take a piece of mine
And if all you've got to do today is hesitate,
Come here, you can leave it late with me.
You could be taking it easy on yourself
You should be making it easy on yourself
Cause you and i know,
It's all over the front page, you give me road rage,
Racing through the best days,
It's up to you boy you're driving me crazy,
Thinking you may be losing your mind.
If all you've got to prove today is your innocence,
Calm down, you're as guilty as can be,
If all you've got to lose alludes to yesterday,
Yesterday's through, now do anything you please.
You could be taking it easy on yourself
You should be making it easy on yourself
Cause you and i know,
It's all over the front page, you give me road rage,
Racing through the best days,
It's up to you boy you're driving me crazy,
Thinking you may be losing your mind.
You're losing your mind.
You, you've been racing through the best days
You, you've been racing through the best days.
Space age, road rage, fast lane,
And if all you've got to do today is find peace of mind
Come here, you can take a piece of mine.
You could be taking it easy on yourself
You should be making it easy on yourself
Cause you and i know,
It's all over the front page, you give me road rage,
Racing through the best days,
It's up to you boy you're driving me crazy,
Thinking you may be losing your mind.
But you and i know,
We all live in the space age, coming down with road rage,
Racing through the best days
It's up to you boy you're driving me crazy,
Thinking you may be losing your mind.
It's not over, it's not over, it's not over,
It's not over, it's not over, it's not over, you and i know
We all live in the space age, you give me road rage,
Racing to the best days
It's up to you boy you're driving me crazy,
Thinking you may be losing your mind.
Losing your mind

5. _ Goldfish And Paracetamol
A dead loss,
No fun, just glum
Lying next to someone
So don't mention the war
Don't question where we stand
Or where we fall
North, south, east where's best?
If i head left
It turns out directionless
And needle point aside
I always find
Embroidery leaves me blind
Cos i'm too weary to rest
Since i noticed
Coming second best is close to ideal
What fools boredom breeds
So much to do
So many goldfish to feed
And paracetamol
I take them all
They line my stomach wall
With customary thirst
I search a water glass
But gin hits first
Oh don't believe the hype
Expectancy will always spoil a party
It's tourniquet by crochet
My waters break
Don't drive for pity's sake
Cos i'm too weary to rest
Since i noticed
Coming second best
Is close to ideal

6. _ Game On
You know the time to act is now do-da-do
Before the sands of time run out do-da-do
I know that i could never
Fall from grace, i'm far too clever
I will achieve my destiny do-da-do
My stars assent a certainty do-da-do
I know that i could never
Fall from grace, i'm far too clever do-do
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Boy sees, boy takes, boy hooked
And the subject's closed
Worst case scenario becomes real
It don't show
No clever clevers can dissuade do-da-do
From tougher substance i was made do-da-do
I know that i could never
Fall from grace, i'm far too clever do-do
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Boy sees, boy takes, boy hooked
And the subject's closed
Worst case scenario becomes real
It don't show
You know the time to act is now do-da-do

7. _ International Velvet
A big thanks to eifion for the translation!
Wake up sleepy welsh, land of song.
Deep is the weakness,
Small is the flame,
The harvest is cruel, but the tune is beautious
With the song of the lonely swan in my chest.
(this bit in english)
Every day, when i wake up
I thank the lord i'm welsh.
I discovered the true paradise of rhyl.
A feast of graves excited a shy welsh woman

8. _ Don't Need The Sunshine
Well it's a most peculiar feeling, like sunburn in the evening
With dark clouds on their way
And you think it's most unlikely life could ever shine as brightly
Once the sun has gone and the pressure's on
And the rain is here again
But you don't need the sunshine
You don't need the good times
Don't need anything anyone's giving (anyone's giving)
And i don't mind your lies so keep on talking
But do you find the change in the seasons affects you without reason?
You've greetings but nothing more to say
And you swear you'd feel much better if only summer'd last foreverbut the sky is clear and you're nowhere near
And the rain is here again
But you don't need the sunshine (i don't mind the rain)
You don't need the good times (you could feel the same)
Lean on me maybe you could see it through
If you would only believe a single word is true
You don't need the sunshine
Don't need the good times
Don't need anything anyone's giving (anyone's giving)
And i don't mind your lies so keep on talking
Well i throw away my sunshines, my so-called little lifelines
Do you know what i mean?
When i decided that the answer could not be bought across the countermy sista dista has left for good
Now the rain has gone away
And you don't need the sunshine
Don't need the good times
Don't need anything anyone's giving (anyone's giving)
And i don't mind your lies so keep on talking
Don't need the sunshine
(the rain has gone away)
Don't need the good times
Don't need anything anyone's giving
Don't need the sunshine
(the rain has gone away)
Don't need the good times
Don't need anything anyone's giving
Don't need the sunshine
(the rain has gone away)
Don't need the good times
Don't need anything anyone's giving
Don't need the sunshine
(the rain has gone away)
Don't need the good times
Don't need anything anyone's giving
And i don't mind your lies so keep on talking

9. _ Johnny Come Lately
I'm sorry you couldn't make it
You could have seen him, so weathered and dated
He was a johnny come lately
And i know that you would hate him
If you'd seen his botanical leanings
First prize exhibit and all down to good spirit
He was a johnny come lately
And i know that you would hate me
If i envied the things that he spoke of
How i envied the things that he thought of
He was a johnny come lately
And i know that you would hate me
If i told you that i made some time and stayed behind
To find out how to make a garden grow
Where the sun no longer shines
If i asked too many questions and i stayed behind
To find out how to make a garden grow
But he never ever gave away the secret of this godforsaken soil
He didn't need us, just tempted and teased us
You could have been here, wishing you were here
This was a johnny come lately
And i know that you would hate me
He was a johnny come lately
And i know that you would hate me
If i told you that i made some time and stayed behind
To find out how to make a garden grow
Where the sun no longer shines
He assured me that the seeds you sold were sound
But i must have cast them all on stony ground
And now the sun won't shine
I must have asked too many questions d
And stayed behind to find out how to make a garden grow
But he never ever gave away the secret of this godforsaken soil.

10. _ Strange Glue
It was strange glue that held us together
While we both came apart at the seams
She said, 'your place or mine
While we've still got the time'
So i played along with her schemes
But i don't have the right to be with you tonight
So please leave me alone with no saviour in sight
I will sleep safe and sound with nobody around me
When faced with my demons
I clothe them and feed them
And i smile, yes i smile
As they're taking me over
And if i cannot sleep for the secrets i keep
It's the price i'm willing to meet
The end of the night never comes too quickly for me
But i don't have the right to be with you tonight
So please leave me alone with no saviour
I will sleep safe and sound with nobody around me
When faced with my demons
I clothe them and feed them
And i'll smile, yes i'll smile
As they're taking me over
And if i cannot sleep for the secrets i keep
It's the prize i'm willing to steal
Oh the end of the night never comes too quickly for me
And i smile . . .
The end of the night never comes too quickly for me
I smile, smile, i smile as they're taking me over
I smile a
The end of the night never comes too quickly for me
Never comes too quickly for me

11. _ Why I Can't Stand One Night Stands
You're adamant
So loose limbed i give in
Although your bed is warm
The worn springs they creak of regret
And lust is the thief who steals away
While we were sleeping
Now you're doing my head in
The lines, the blinds are drawn
We are intimate strangers
I'm reborn, it's a false dawn
Where we've been, i forget
And saturday's fuss is just small town lust
It's me i'm cheating
Now you're doing my head in
Now you're doing my head in

12. _ Part Of The Furniture
Thanks to james peach for this.
I'll be your baba papa
I'll be your baba papa
If you'll be a baba papa to me
I'd be your table and chair
Philippe starck or bill amberg
If you'd be a baba papa to me
And i'd be your angel
Ride you until you're warmer
Be your cradle
Swing you until you fall
I'd be your son and your heir
Destitute but debonair
Though ill advised and ill in debt
I'd never be drained or misled
I saw your dreams and infatuated
With this freedom
You say the words and i could be them
And i'd be your angel
Ride you until you're warmer
Be your cradle
Swing you until you're tired out
[chorus is the same as the first time but at the end (high pitched
Bit) it goes:]
Swing you until your tired ouuuuuuuuuuutttttttttt.
