Dance
Of The Bourgeoisie (Kevin Coyne - 1974?) (PEEL
SESSIONS)
When
the bourgeoisie dance, they dance belly to belly or bottom to bottom and trip
over the television wire, pressing their chests against the double glazing
Oh how
they dance and dance and dance, little circles on the lawn
Slight
injections of ?? and Vicky Anderson senior and Glenn Miller
But wait!
I am bourgeoisie, I am bourgeoisie, I am bourgeoisie myself! I am bourgeoisie
myself!
And so,
so what must I do? I must wear a mask ??

Oh when

Goodnight

Goodnight
Dark
Dance Hall (Kevin Coyne/Brian
Godding - 1980) (BURSTING
BUBBLES )
Working,
talking to myself
Oh there's
nobody else
Oh see
the lights down below
Watch
them swirl as they go
D.J.
in leopard skin
Face
all drawn and face all thin
Walking
the line for you
What
am I gonna do?
Monkey
man on my back
I fell
my spirit crack crack crack
Working
and talking to myself
Sometimes
there's no-one else
There
was a little boy with cracked knees
Standing
by the waters edge and he started to cry
Fedding
swans Sundays, oh see the lovers they lay
Sweet
sweet sweet memories
Oh I
don't know what to say
All these
lights getting in my way
Turn
them down, don't let them shine
The darkness
is mine all mine (x3)
Day
and Night (Tom Liwa/Kevin Coyne - 1996) (KNOCKING
ON YOUR BRAIN)
Everytime
I look into your face, a little shadow seeps through
But most
of the time I can see that loving glow and that light and that glow is the
real you
Chorus:
Day and night (x3)
I want
to see the real you day and night, day and night
I wear
a mask in the morning, sometimes l'm very very very very down
But then
you smile and in a little while l'm dancing with fire, desire and love for
you, love for you
Chorus
(x2)
Fire
and love, all for you, take my heart, my soul, it's all for you, day and night
Chorus
There's
all of this love, it never goes away, I believe it'll last a lifetime (x2)
Chorus
(x4)
Day
to Day (Kevin Coyne/Brian Godding
- 1980) (BURSTING
BUBBLES )
There's
a mistery land I can't find
On the
borders of peace of mind
And the
mirrors kindly shine
And the
rivers they run with wine
Run with
wine (x4)
I know
you're happy
You're
all smiling now
I can
see you dancing how how
How you
shine, how you squeal
I realise
that's how you feel
That's
how you feel (x4)
Misery
man, that's not me
I may
one day be eternally happy
I may
raise up my little soul
I may
find my little goal
My little
goal (x3)
I'm just
living from day to day (x2)
I'm just a
diary, hear what I say
I'm truly
living from day to day (ad lib)
Dead
Dying Gone (Kevin Coyne - 1979) (BABBLE)
You
sleep, you wake, there's nothing more, you wake
I'm not
dead for heavens sake (x2)
Chorus:
I'm dead, I'm dying, I'm gone (x2), I can't carry on
You say,
you know
You rule
every show
I'm here,
I'm gonna stay
You'll
never change me anyway
Chorus
You cream
and you scream, you dare to see me
I'm not
like you, can't you see, I'm not you and you're not me
Chorus
Nightmares
I have none, I am the chosen one
Slippered
fools die in bed
I'm
the one that's got the head
Dead
and dying, I'm gone
I am
dead and dying, I'm gone
Can't
carry on (x2)
What's
the point of carrying on? (x2)
Debutante
(Kevin Coyne - 1979) (ELVIRA
)
I'm
a debutante, I wear pink and gold, I'm quite young though I feel quite old
With
my pinky smile, my tight golden hair, my big smile floats everywhere
I've
just met a duchess and my mother was proud, she laughed to herself but it
wasn't too loud
She said
"Good girl", and she took my hand, she said "Your father is a judge and judges
understand"
He doesn't
understand a fucking thing (I swore!), he doesn't understand a fucking thing
Oh but
l'm a debutante and the future looks bright, there'll be no mornings, just
perpetual light
And the
light will bum as long as I am good, I'm flesh and bone and I'm not wood
But my
father says and my Mummy agrees, I've got nice curly hair and nice plump knees
They
don't understand a fucking thing (x2)
But I'm
a debutante, I'm a debutante (repeat)
Deep
the Darkness (Kevin Coyne - 1995) (CRAZY FRANK)
Walking
down the street, I'm a stranger here
Looking
everywhere for your face so clear
Another
bad argument and I'm down again
Another
ragged and lonely man
Chorus:
How deep the darkness, how deep the pain (x2)
Rain
rain rain (x2).
How deep
the darkness, how deep the pain (x2)
I've
messed things up and I'm all alone
We used
to have such a perfect home
But now
I'm drifting on stormy seas
Not even
my dog recognises me
Chorus
How deep
the darkness, how deep the pain (x2)
Some
day some way, I'm going to find a perfect day
I'm going
to seek the clouds so pure, I'm going to open up squeaky heavens door
I'm going
to move on if I can
I'm going
to become a pearl of a man
And I
hope darling you understand in that lonely house back there cause
Chorus

CITY )
There's
nothing more delightful than you (2x)

You know

It burns
up my heart and sets my mind aflame (2x)
You know

This
is the devil calling from the pit of hell (x2)
Can't
you smell the fire Frankie, can't you smell, can't you smell the fires of
hell?
You're
in your hotel room and you're sinking down
I can

There's
only me and I maybe can help you

You're falling (x7) down (x3).
And you
know there'll be nobody there to help you (x3)

Pick
up that whisky, let's drink to the end
Chorus
You know
that I'll be with you till the time has come for you to go
On the

Disappointed
(poem) (Kevin Coyne - 1992) (BURNING
HEAD)
The
moon is a shrimp
The clouds
lettuce leaves
The garden
is the amazon
And the
gardener a head-hunter
I hear
mad grapes calling from the vineyard
The postman
has just called with a crocodile
I'm disappointed
I wanted a
girl friend

Coyne - 1969-71?) (THE SIREN YEARS)
Hello
babe, how are you doing?
I know
your face and style will be my ruin
You dress
in gold and you're very old
But I
know if I get to you, be bold
You'll
live in a house
On top
of the hill
It's

Does
Anybody Love Me (Kevin Coyne
- 1993) (DARBY 93)
Does
anybody love me, anybody cares, I don't think you do
darling
Does
anybody want me and leave me out in the cold, I don't
think you do darling
You've
got me standing up and prancing around like a baby in the middle of the street
on a Saturday night
Does
anybody love me, anybody cares, she says she loves me
but it's just not right
She's
threatening crazy things, things she's gonna do, I don't believe the
venum in you
Threatening
crazy things, things she's gonna do, I don't believe the venum
in you
Does
anybody love me, anybody cares, is there a voice that
says Hello out there
Does
anybody love me, anybody cares, self pity won't get
me anywhere
But I'll
try in my little way to find Mandalay, I'm there anyway, I'm there anyway
Does
anybody love me, anybody cares, she doesn't ??
Does
anybody need me, is anybody there, she says you're daft??
are you
Does
anybody love me in this whole wide world, it's just
self pity she says
But you
used to be my little girl, she says I'm a feminist but it doesn't matter anymore
Oh I
want to go oh to Mandalay but she won't let me come, she won't let me
What
a miserable song this is, but Kevin, women have changed since your days, you
must learn this, they do'nt take no shit they used to do, it's no good singing
the blues and feeling sorry for yourself, you brought this on yourself. Did
I? Who's that speaking? God! Oh ?? You brought all this on yourself son. Alright,
never mind.
Anybody
listens, anybody cares, poking fun at my trousers
Does
anybody listen, does anybody care, ??
Does
anybody listens, does anybody care, I smoke
too much ??
Does
anybody listen, does anybody care, are you
up there?
I could
be in Mandalay if I'd believed what my mother used to say but I just can't
be in Mandalay ??
Does
anybody listen, anybody care, I love you
son
There's
somebody up there, just you listen, you might hear him, somebody's up there
and they care
Dog
Latin (Kevin Coyne - 1973) (MARJORY
RAZORBLADE)
Painted
grottos all falling down
Prayer
books and hymnals all strewn around
Father
McCarthey cannot say his prayers
Locked
all the doors and taken away the chairs
Chorus:
And the cardinal still sits on his golden throne
Weeping
and praying out in the hot day sun
Little
white lamb of God trapped in the wires
Burning
a brand new flame, a brand new fire.
Rome
is empty, all the parishioners have gone
Everyone's
on the night life, they're out having fun
Nobody's
there, no nobody's home
A little
black monkey's on the Sits on the Papal throne
Chorus
Dominus
vobiscum et cum spiritu Gloria Gloria Kyrie eleison Christi eleison kyrie
eleison ???????????????????????????????????? Amen
Nobody
cares and why should they care
I don't
want to see it, no I don't want to share
Yes I
sing for free and nobody bothers me
No I'm
not a penitent, I'm blind but I can see
Chorus
Dominus
vobiscum et cum spiritu Gloria gloria Kyrie eleison, Christi eleison Kyrie
eleison Christie eleison ad nauseum ???????????????????????????????????? Amen
And the
cardinal still sits on his golden throne
Weeping
and moaning out in the hot day sun
Little
white lamb of God trapped in the wires
Burning
a brand new flame, a brand new fire
Do
not Shout at me Father (Kevin

Do
not shout at me Father, it is not my fault (x2)
I am
not to blame (x3) for all this trouble
Don't
shout at me Dad (x2)
Why do
you keep on shouting at me?
I must
agree, it's been a shame but I'm not to blame
Do

Or if
you shout once more I'll shout right back at you
And I've
got so much respect for you
So much
respect and you show nothing but disrespect
Don't
shout at me Dad (x3)
Stop
shouting at me Dad
Dad stop
it, don't you shout, don't you shout
And you're
getting much quieter now as the years go by it seems all the shouting you
did quite early on in your teens and shortly after you were married was really
a waste of time and if you think about it, if you keep on thinking about it,
you will find out that it's all a waste of time
So
So
Do not
shout at me Father, do not shout at me Dad (x2)
I haven't
been bad (x2)
I was
only born (x2)
And if
you shout at me, the shouting will carry on

Blame Mandy (Kevin Coyne - 1979) (MILLIONAIRES

Don't
blame Mandy
Leave
her alone
Don't

This

She's
flying on her own, flying on her own
Chorus:
Don't blame Mandy, don't blame Mandy, don't blame Mandy,
don't blame Mandy
Blame
me.
Don't
blame Mandy
You bully

Behind
her face you can see the pain
She has
a brain
She has
a mind
Something
of her own
Don't
be kind
Be true,
be right
Leave
her tonight
Let her
fly
Don't
make her cry
Chorus
Don't
blame Mandy
She's
going to another place
In another
time
Where's
she strong, where's she stronger
Arms
up raised
Fighting
on
Finding
freedom
She's
free as a bird (x2)
I can
see it in her eyes
Please
let her fly
Chorus
Oh Mandy,
oh Mandy, oh Mandy, oh Mandy
Chorus

Don't

Don't
Know what to Do (Kevin Coyne/Brian
Godding - 1980) (BURSTING
BUBBLES )
There's
a figure standing on a beach
Reaching
out for the sea that she can surely reach
Dancing
on islands, singing on coves
Within
her head the memory of a rogue
It's
not so funny, it's not so sad
But I'm
feeling, I'm feeling bad about heaven
And I
don't know what to do, I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do
I was
walking inside my head
Memories
of a darkened room, a little bed
Seething
one day, smiling the next
I realise
my problem's a little vexed
It's
not so funny, it's not so sad
But you
know I'm feeling, I'm feeling bad about heaven
And I
don't know what to do, I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do, no
It seems
like I'll always be the same
Not good
at anything, I can't play games
I will
try, though it's hard
You've
got my message and my calling card
It's
not so funny, it's not so sad
Oh but
I'm feeling, I'm feeling bad about heaven
And I
don't know what to do, I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do
What
am I gonna do?

Don't
Worry (Kevin Coyne - 1969-71?) (THE
SIREN YEARS)
??
are worries
Every
day ??
But we
need some consolation
When
our playtime comes around
We all
have the little secret
But we
keep it well down
No we
worry about our doorsteps
And we
worry about our kings
And we
worry about those midgets
And we
worry about fleas
Oh I
know we shouldn't worry
But we
do, I worry about my knees
Well
I worry in the morning
And I
worry late at night
I just
worry about my garden
And I
worry if the fence seems right
I worry
about my neigbours
And if
they're talking right
You can
worry about your children
You can
worry about your aunts
You can
worry about politicians
You can
worry ??
But don't
worry, remove that worry
??
Well
if I worry when I'm getting older
I may
worry when I'm dead
I don't
want to worry when I'm older
Cause
I want to have some things when I'm quietly dead
So don't
worry, don't worry, don't worry
Life's
a cabaret, it's a cabaret
Oh don't
worry (repeat)
We all
got worries, I've got my worries ??
Oh life's
a cabaret, oh it's a merrygoround
Oh it's
a zippyrider
Oh don't
worry
I told
that Norman not to worry about this

Hitler,

Hitler, he's really really my friend
That's why I'll never work for any German record company again
Now I like the sound of ?? I like the sound of ?? Lindenburg
I like the sound of pop stars everywhere all over the world
I like the sound of Boy George, he's a supernatural superstar

Hitler, he's my really good friend

Hitler, he's really my friend
Don't you Look (that way) (Kevin
Coyne - 1991) (WILD
TIGER LOVE)
Talked
to my neighbour today, said 'You look a disgrace', he pointed his finger,
grim look on his face, he said 'You can't sleep you ain't washed for a week,
if you don't stop this, you're going to be on trouble deep'
Chorus:
Everybody says, don't you look that way (x2)
Now I'm
ironing my shirt, I'm lifting tIhe dirt, there's not much joy for this little
schoolboy, you told me for years, I'm going to leave you dear but I wouldn't
listen to that good advice
Chorus
I'm
a solitary man and I understand you're not coming back but I'll keep on wishing,
hoping

Beryl's standing at my door, she's one of the helpless spoor, hasn't got no
money, nowhere to go, can't even wear good clothes, can't put on a show, the

Cyril's
walking round my garden, he keeps on saying I beg your pardon, his head's
in a dream, he wants to scream but he can hardly speak, it seems that everything
he does it seems to go wrong, he dreams of Rolls Royces cars, long queens
and kings and clouds of blue but there's nothing else for him to do
He's
drunk, he's got to get drunk, he's got to get drunk, got to get drunk again
He's
got to get drunk, drunk as a skunk, this little punk's got to get drunk again
Beer
and whiskey makes you frisky, it's the only thing to do
Beer
and whiskey makes you frisky, it's good for me and you

at the foot of his bed every night when he switches out his light but I think

going to go mad, what can we do, we've got to get drunk
