1. _ Printhead
Hey badges tinkle
T-shirts mingle
Hey you horror-face!
I'm a printhead
I go to pieces
I'm a printhead
I go to pieces yeah
End of catch-line
End of hook-line
We had a two page
It's what we needed
I'm an ill head
My face increases
How my head increases
Real problems, biz
So how is it, yeah
That i've reached here
I thought this game
Would do me good
How could printed vinyl bring you out to here?
We laughed with them
When it was take-the-piss time
I'm no egghead
But i'm an ex-worker man
W.c.-hero friend - and not water closet!
There's a barrier between writer and singer
Uh-huh he's a good man
Although a lazy one
The singer is a neurotic drinker
The band little more than a big crashing beat.
Instruments collide and we all get drunk
The last two lines
Were a quote, yeah
When we read them
We went to pieces
We went to pieces, yeah
We went to pieces, yeah
Regularly
One day a week
I'm a printhead, yeah
Twenty pence a week
Dirty fingers
Printhead x 3
With print you substitute an ear
For an extra useless eye

2. _ Psykick Dance Hall [l]
Is there anybody there?
Yeah!
Rock rock rock rock rock
Rocky! rocky!
Is quester psykick dance-hall
Step forward for
Esp medium discord
My garden is made of stone
There's a computer center over the road
I saw a monster on the roof
Its colors glowed on the roof
Round the corner
Is quester psykick dancehall
Step forward for
Esp medium discord
Here they have no records
They know your questions about no words
Just bumble stumble to the waves
Twitching out to the waves
Clock it! clock it!
It's quester psykick dance-hall
Never bored with
Esp medium discord
When i'm dead and gone
My vibrations will live on
In vibes on vinyl through the years
People will dance to my waves
Rock it! rock it!
It's quester psykick dance-hall
Step aboard for
Esp medium discord
You gotta come
For a mental orgasm

3. _ Dice Man
I am the dice man
And i take a chance, huh
Do you take a chance, huh?
Where you two going?
Where you two going?
Is this a branch on the tree of showbusiness?
Do all these musicians
Have a social conscience?
Well, only in their front rooms
But i am the dice man
And i take a chance man
Do you take a chance, huh?
They stay with the masses
Don't take any chances
End up emptying ashtrays
But i push, push, push, push
Throw the bones and the poison dice
No time for small moralists
Cos i am the dice man
And i take a chance, huh
Do you take a chance, fan?
They say music should be fun
Like reading a story of love
But i wanna read a horror story
Where are you people going?
Where are you people going?
Is this a branch on the tree of showbusiness?
But i am the dice man
A balls-on-the-line man
Do you take a chance, baby?

4. _ Chock-stock
Pop-stock, mix my pop-stock
Pop-stock, mix my pop-stock
Pop-stock, mix my pop-stock
We like pop-stik stickers
We like weak tv
We like chocolate animals
We eat [porky] piggies
Pop stock, mix my pop-stock
Pop-stock, mix my pop-stock
Pop-stock, try my pop-stock
Pop-stock, buy my pop-stock
Now all the bourgeoisie
They hate our crazy scene
'cause we dig pop-stik stickers
We like weaker tea
But they're the product of the same systems
Beyond their control
They stayed on at school
And tolerate bad manners
Pop stock, mix my pop-stock
Pop-stock, mix my pop-stock
Pop-stock, try my pop-stock
Pop-stock, buy my pop-stock
Now come on kids
Lets get this thing together
Lets get this thing together
And make it bad
We don't need these three chords
And big boots or this cosmic crap..uh..
He's bust his guitar
Lets get this thing together
Forget lee cooper
Lets get this thing together
Why are you smiling
Why are you laughing
At or with this song
It's not like your scene, your scene
Pop stock, mix my pop-stock
Pop-stock, mix my pop-stock
Pop-stock, try my pop-stock
Pop-stock, buy my pop-stock

5. _ Flat Of Angles
Dragnet for gun-blast man
The papers had a father
Holding up a picture
His son-in-law killed her
Yes he killed his wife
She was wasting his life
His veins are full of evil serum
But what's done is done
Now he's trapped in flat of angles
Hiding in flat of angles
Right down to its gables
And sometimes bell bust under
The rings from many callers
Coupon and gas-board man
Dragnet for gun-blast man
Who's trapped in flat of angles
Rented cage is flat of angles
Right down to its gables
And first he started on the floorboards
120 degrees from window
Doors open to specification
And keeps out stupid neighbours
Very safe is flat of angles
Cheap rent too his flat of angles
Down to its gables
Here he fights to type
Story of murder in his life
Or soap operas all day
In rooms of dirty laundry
But i'm in flat of angles
Hiding in flat of angles
Right down to its gables
And the sun dragged him out one day
From his laundry
He saw mercenary eyes
The streets are full of mercenary eyes
Well stretched in flat of angles
Not long left in flat of angles
Down to the gables
There's a big reward for gun-blast man
A big reward for gun-blast man
A big reward for gun-blast man
Let us go up and [..] write stories
Dragnet
Phone in for the dragnet man

6. _ Before The Moon Falls
Shhhh
We are private detectives onward back from a musical pilgrimage
We work under the name of the fall.
Who would suspect this?
It is too obvious.
Our office is secluded.
Those there to suspect
Would not see the wood for the trees
We were six like dice but we're back to five
Up here in the north there are no wage packet jobs for us
Thank christ
While young married couples discuss the poverties
Of their self-built traps
And the junior clergy demand more cash
We spit in their plate and wait for the ice to melt
I must create a new regime
Or live by another man's
Before the moon falls
I must create a new scheme
And get out of others' hands
Before the moon falls
I could use some pure criminals
And get my hands on some royalties
Before the moon falls
A problem of this new scheme
Is answering obscene phone calls
Before the moon falls
Gotta stop drifting around
Kill this ugly duckling
We've got the power
And must not misuse it
Cos life is short and full of thought
I use the power
And will forever end this reign of terror
Before the moon falls
Before the tide subsides
Before the moon falls for the fifth time
Before the fall swoons

8. _ A Figure Walks
A figure walks behind you
A figure walks behind you
A shadow walks behind you
A figure walks behind you
Days of booze and roses
Shine on us, free us all
Who is not irascible
He is no genius
A figure walks behind you
A figure walks behind you
A shadow walks behind you
A figure walks behind you
The old golden savages
Killed their philosophers
Thought brought the drought about
Something followed me out
Goes out again
A figure walks behind you
A shadow walks behind you
A figure walks behind you
A shadow walks behind you
And if it grabs my coat tail
I will turn and hit it
It may remove the pegs
Keeping my eyes open
A figure walks behind you
A shadow walks behind you
A figure walks behind you
A shadow walks behind you
It's got eyes of brown, watery
Nails of pointed yellow
Hands of black carpet
It's a quick trip to the ice house
A quick trip to the ice house x 3
A figure walks behind you
A shadow walks behind you
A figure walks behind you
A shadow walks behind you
You x 7
A figure walks behind you
A shadow walks behind you
A figure walks behind you
A shadow walks behind you
You x 3
And tales of terror
Which my father told me
They never scared me
But not only is it the blind
Who cannot see
That figure behind you
Behind you x 2
You x 2
That figure kept on walking
Behind you
There's a man on my trail x 4
He's also behind you
Behind you x 4
That figure kept on walking x 4
Behind you x3
A figure walks 3

9. _ Spectre Vs. Rector
Mr james be born be born
Yog sothoth rape me lord
Sludge hai choi [blah blah]
Mr james be born be born
Yog sothoth rape me lord
Van greenway [blah blah]
Sludge hai choi [blah blah]
Part one: spectre versus rector
The rector lived in hampshire
The spectre was from chorazina
Inevil dust in the air
The rector locked his doors
Part two: detective drives through hampshire
Stops because of the fog there
And thinks a visit to the rector
And meanwhile and meanwhile
Spectre possesses rector
Rector becomes spectre
Sludge hai choi [blah blah]
Sludge hai choi [blah blah]
Enter inspector
Even as he spoke a dust devil suddenly arose and struck him
Part four: detective versus rector
Detective versus rector possessed by spectre
Spectre blows him against the wall
Says "die latin this is your fall
I've waited since caesar for this
Damn latin my hate is crisp
I'll rip your fat body to pieces
Mr james be born be born
Yog sothoth rape me lord
Van greenway [blah blab]
Scene five, scene five
Comes a hero
Soul possessed a thousand times
Only he could rescue rector
Only he could save inspector
And this hero was a strange man
"those flowers, take them away" he said
"they're only funeral decorations
And oh this is a drudge nation
A nation of no imagination
A stupid man is their ideal
They shun me and think me unclean,
Unclean"
I have saved a thousand souls
They cannot even save their own
I'm soaked in blood but always good
It's like i drunk myself sober
I get better as i get older
Mr james be born be born
Yog sothoth rape me lord
Van greenway [blah blah]
Sludge hai choi [blah blah]
Sludge hai choi [blah blah]
Part six:
That was his kick from life
That's how he pads out his life
Selling his soul to the devil
And the spectre enters hero
But the possession is ineffectual
But the possession is ineffectual
And the possession is ineffectual
And mr james be born be born
Yog sothoth rape me lord
Van greenway [blah blah]
Sludge hai choi [blah blah]
Sludge hai choi [blah blah]
I said sludge hai choi [blah blah]
Last scene:
Hero and inspector walk from the scene
Is the spectre banished forever?
The inspector is half insane
The hero runs back into the mountains
The hero goes back into the mountains
He was an exorcist but he was exhausted
An exorcist but he was exhausted
He racked on his bed all night long
Mr james be born be born
Yog sothoth rape me lord
Van greenway [blah blah]
Sludge hai choi [blah blah]
Sludge hai choi [blah blah]
[chorus ad lib]

10. _ Your Heart Out
Just take for instance
A time of great depression
Fade out of reason
Bad time's in season
Don't shut your heart out
Don't cry your eyes out
Don't cry for me, mexico
Or savage pencil
I'm nearly healthy
And they try to take my eyes out
Friends try to work my soul out
But i don't sing, i just shout
Heavy clout, heart out
Now here's a joke
To cheer you up:
Old times no surgeon
Just magicians and dungeons
There they take your heart out
With a sharp knife
It wasn't fake
They had no anesthetic.
That joke's pathetic.
Just look at me
Too much speed
But very plain
You're lucky, friend.
You've got one to take out
You know what i'm talking about!
I don't sing i just shout
All on one note.
Sing, sing, sing, sing
Look at me, i just ding
Heart is out, out, it's out
