[Tenement Funster]

My new purple shoes
They've been amazing the people next door
And my rock n' roll forty fives
Been enraging the folks on the lower floor

I got away with the girls on my block
Try my best to be a real individual
And when when we go to smokies and rock
They line up like it's some kind of ritual

Oh, give me a good guitar
And you can say that my hair's a disgrace
Or just find me an open car
I'll make the speed of light outta this place

I like the good things in life
But most of the best things ain't free
It's the same situation just cuts like a knife
When you're young and you're poor and you're crazy
Young and you're crazy....

Oh, give me a good guitar
And you can say that my hair's a disgrace
Or just find me an open car
I'll make the speed of light outta this place

[Flick of the Wrist]

Dislocate your spine, If you don't sign he says
I'll have you seeing double

Mesmerize you when he's tongue tied
Simply with those eyes, ohohoh
Synchronize your mind and see
The beast within him rise

Don't look back, don't look back
It's a rip off

Flick of the wrist and you're dead, baby
Blow him a kiss and you're mad
Flick of the wrist he'll eat your heart out
A dig in the ribs and then a kick in the head
He's taken an arm and taken a leg
All this time, honey
Baby you've been had

Intoxicate your brain with what I'm saying
If not you'll lie in knee deep trouble

Prostitute yourself he says
Castrate your human pride, ohohoh
Sacrifice your leisure days
Let me squeeze you 'till you've dried

Don't look back, don't look back
It's a rip off

Work my fingers to my bones
I scream with pain, I still make no impression

Seduce you with his money make machine
Cross collateralise big time money, money
Reduce you to a muzak fake machine
Then the last goodbye

Flick of the wrist and you're dead, baby
Blow him a kiss and you're mad
Flick of the wrist he'll eat your heart out
A dig in the ribs and then a kick in the head
He's taken an arm and taken a leg
All this time, honey
Baby you've been had

[Lily of the Valley]

I am forever searching high and low
But why does everybody tell me no?
Neptune of the seas an answer for me please
The lily of the valley doesn't know

I lie and wait with open eyes
I carry on through stormy skies
I follow every course my kingdom for a horse
But each time I grow old
Serpent of the nile relieve me for a while
And cast me from your spell and let me go

Messenger from seven seas has flown
To tell the king of Rhye he's lost his throne
Wars will never cease
Is there time enough for peace?
The lily of the valley doesn't know
