The Enemy Album

Call the police,
cos things are getting ugly
get on your feet,
I want you running with me
do what you like,
say what you mean
do what you please

ahhhhh we`ll set the streets on fire
and when it comes on top
we`ll give it lots of aggro
were giving it lots of aggro

ahhhhh we`ll set the streets on fire
and when it comes on top
we`ll give it lots of aggro
were giving it lots of aggro

blood on the streets,
you see the trouble happening
get on your feet,
you see the crowds are gathering
do what you like,
say what you mean
do what you please

ahhhhh we`ll set the streets on fire
and when it comes on top
we`ll give it lots of aggro
were giving it lots of aggro

ahhhhh we`ll set the streets on fire
and when it comes on top
we`ll give it lots of aggro
were giving it lots of aggro

ahhhhh we`ll set the streets on fire
and when it comes on top
we`ll give it lots of aggro
were giving it lots of aggro

ahhhhh we`ll set the streets on fire
and when it comes on top
we`ll give it lots of aggro
were giving it lots of aggro

I'm so sick, sick, sick and tired
Of working just to be retired
I don't want to get that far
I don't want your company car
Promotions aint my thing
Name badges are not interesting
It's much easier for me see
To stay at home with Richard and Judy

Awayaway oh oh oh away from here...
Awayaway oh oh oh away from here
Awayaway oh oh oh away from here
Awayaway oh oh oh away from here

I'm fed up of early mornings
Wake up calls are getting boring round here
Feet dragging on the pavement
The same people with the same arrangement
Irony can be quite funny
You making other people money
My working day has just begun
its not exactly what i would call fun

I want to wake up in the afternoon
With daytime TV and my favourite tune
Cos it is much easier for me see
To stay at home with Richard and Judy

Awayaway oh oh oh away from here.....
Away away away away from

Saturday is your only highlight
When you go out and live the highlife
meeting up with other people
your interaction with the weak and feable
Atleast when all is said and done
You wouldn't be the only one
To be a slave to the modern wage
Your crappy weekend is your only escape

I want to wake up in the afternoon
With daytime TV and my favourite tune
Cos it is much easier for me
To stay at home with Richard and Judy

Awayaway oh oh oh away from here.....
Away away away away from here

Give me a, good enough, reason why I should not cut you down.
You've been taking too much, ever since you started hanging round, this crowd.
And I've had enough, had enough.
Yes you've let me down, let me down
Now I'm giving up, giving up.
Yes I'll see you round, see you round
naaa naaa naaa naa

Heeey heeey, whats the matter with your face, face?
When you have it your way, way?
Won't you give me some time to understand your mind?
(ohhhh it's alright, ohhh it's alright)

Let me say what i want
Don't you know, it was on, the tip of, my tongue
If you opened your eyes
Took a look outside, you would see your wrong.
And I've had enough, had enough
Yes you let me down, let me down,
Now I'm giving up, giving up
Yes I'll see you round, see you round
naa naa naa naa

Heeey heeey, whats the matter with your face, face?
When you have it your way, way?
Won't you give me some time to understand your mind?
(ohhhh it's alright, ohhh it's alright)

Had enough, had enough
Had enough, had enough
Had enough, had enough. Let me down.
Had enough, had enough. See you round.
Had enough, had enough. Let me down.
Had enough, had enough. I'll see you around.

Heeey heeey, whats the matter with your face, face?
When you have it your way, way?
Won't you give me some time to understand your mind?

You spend your time in smokey rooms
where haggled old women with cheap perfume say
"it never happens for people like us you know"
well nothing ever happened on it`s own
and well the toilets smell of desperation
the streets all echo of aggregation
and you wonder
why you cant get no sleep
when you`ve got nothing to do,
and you`ve had nothing to eat
your life`s slipping
and sliding right out of view
and there`s absolutely nothing
that you can do, well

We`ll live and die,
We`ll live and die in these towns
Don`t let it drag you down
Don`t let it drag you down now

We`ll live and die,
We`ll live and die in these towns
Don`t let it drag you down
Don`t let it drag you down now

Dirty dishes from a tv meal
that went cold from the wind
throuh a smashed up window
You cant go out if anybody calls ya
cos you cant have a bath
when there`s no hot water
and your friends are out
on the town again
and you ask yourself if it will ever end
and it`s all too much for your head to take
just a matter of time before you break, well

We`ll live and die,
We`ll live and die in these towns
Don`t let it drag you down
Don`t let it drag you down now

We`ll live and die,
We`ll live and die in these towns
Don`t let it drag you down
Don`t let it drag you down now

Now...
Now...

We`ll live and die,
We`ll live and die in these towns
Don`t let it drag you down
Don`t let it drag you down now

We`ll live and die,
We`ll live and die in these towns
Don`t let it drag you down
Don`t let it drag you down now

Don’t let the sun go down
on our empire
It’s too much to waste
and don’t let the walls
Come down round our empire
It’s too much to wave goodbye
We’ve been working for a long time
We’ve been fighting for a way
Now in the streets men stand in lines
They’re all wasted anyway
You live in an incestuous world
Where your conscience holds no weight
You sold us down the river like rats
then you drowned and beat the brave

You’re not alone, you know (2x)
you’re not alone at all
you’re not alone, you know (2x)
you’re not alone at all

Don’t let the sun go down
on our empire
It’s too much to waste
And don’t let the rains come down,
on our empire
It’s too much to wash away
We’ve been working for a long time
We’ve been fighting for a way
Now in the streets men stand in lines
They’re all wasted anyway
You live in an incestuous world
Where your conscience holds no weight
You sold us down the river like rats
Then you drowned and beat the brave

You’re not alone, you know (2x)
you’re not alone at all
you’re not alone, you know (2x)
you’re not alone at all
yeah…

Not alone .. not alone

There’s just too many dreams
in this wasteland for you to leave us all behind
There’s just too many dreams
in this wasteland for you to leave us all behind

You’re not alone, you know (2x)
you’re not alone at all
you’re not alone, you know (2x)
you’re not alone at all

Stop living your life for the alarm
that wakes you up every day at eight
leave your Peugeot on the forecourt
it's all too much for you to take
your girlfriend don't love you but still she slaves
to make a home for you to stay
the people above you they keep you held down
the boys, the boys you'd love to make

leaning on your fence when you told me
you were gonna make lots of money
be a princess, diamonds and cigarettes
rolling out the carpet to regrets
now you're not so young it's too easy
to be a dreamer, wake up and be free
your clock is ticking fast friend, believe me
you only get one chance, can you hear me

it's not OK to be this way
it's not OK to be a slave

stop living your life for a man in a tie
he's just a fool the same as you
his daughter don't love him but still he slaves
to make a way for her to choose
her teenage dreams are here today
but in the morning they'll be gone
washed away by the minimum wage
the same, the same as everyone

leaning on your fence when you told me
you were gonna make lots of money
be a princess, diamonds and cigarettes
rolling out the carpet to regrets
now you're not so young it's too easy
to be a dreamer, wake up and be free
your clock is ticking fast friend, believe me
you only get one chance, can you hear me

it's not OK to be this way
it's not OK to be a slave

leaning on your fence when you told me
you were gonna make lots of money
be a princess, diamonds and cigarettes
rolling out the carpet to regrets
now you're not so young it's too easy
to be a dreamer, wake up and be free
your clock is ticking fast friend, believe me
you only get one chance, can you hear me

it's not OK to be this way
not OK to be this way
not OK to be this way
not OK to be a slave
to be a slave
to be a slave

Shelly was a good girl,
she never left her daddys side,
she was a technodanceaphobic,
and every night inside she cried
Becky was a bad girl,
she never knew no right from wrong,
oh that night on her own,
her daddy left her alone,
her looked round and she was gone

Cos they were bangin' on the backstreet
all night long
Yer they were bangin' on the backstreet
all night long
Yer they were bangin' on the backstreet
Yer on the backstreet
Bangin' on the backstreet all night long

Sammy was a good boy,
he never left his mummys side,
he was an alcoholaphobic,
every night inside he cried
Danny was a bad boy,
he liked to kick and scream and shout,
and on a saturday night,
he got that feeling alright,
he'd throw his weight about

Cos they were bangin' on the backstreet
all night long
Yer they were bangin' on the backstreet
all night long
Yer they were bangin' on the backstreet
Yer on the backstreet
Bangin' on the backstreet all night long

So they were bangin' on the backstreet
all night long
Yer they were bangin' on the backstreet
all night long
Yer they were bangin' on the backstreet
Yer on the backstreet
Bangin' on the backstreet all night long

Half the kids who you grew up with,
Were pushin prams by the time that they were just sixteen,
If love is a drug then where is the cure,
For the girl who used to talk to you about her dream.
And all the boys with all their toys,
Couldnt see the signs as we scortched out eyes with nicotine,
And the grown ups said, listen to your head,
But our hearts were crying out for heroes on TV screens.

Now this song is about you,
Now this song is about...

Changes in your mind,
Changes in your life,
Changes in the times,
And the reason you can't sleep at night,
Changes in your mind,
Changes in your life,
Changes in the times,
And the reason you gave up the fight.

Half the kids that arnt pushing prams,
Are pushing pills to boys and girls who are half their age

And the pubs and clubs are full of drunks,
They dont remember the day the were born or even their mum or the names.

An old man sings a tune but hes drowned out by a fight next to a fruit machine.

And all of this, our hearts, our nation,
A total lack of civilization,
Will it ever be the same?

Now this song is about you,
Now this song is about...

Changes in your mind,
Changes in our lives,
Changes in the times,
And the reason you we cant sleep at night,
Changes in our mind,
Changes in our lives,
Changes in the times,
And the reason we gave up the fight.

Now this song....is about, is about, is about you,
Now this song....is about, is about, is about you,
Now this song....is about, is about, is about you,
Now this song....is about, is about, is about you,

Good Mornin Jane,
Happy Birthday, Once Again,
What Would We Do,
What Would We Do Without You
Without You

Wake Up The Sun Is Shining,
Shining For You,
To Take All Your Troubles Away,
Just For A Day,
To Take All Your Troubles Away,
Just For A Day,
For A Day,

So Good Night Jane,
Happy Birthday Once Again,
Now What Will We Do,
What Will We Do Without You,
Without You,

Wake Up The Sun Is Shining,
Shining For You,
To Take All Your Troubles Away,
Just For A Day,
To Take All Your Troubles Away,
Just For A Day,
For A Day,

Happy Birthday,
Happy Birthday,
Happy Birthday,
Happy Birthday Jane

Happy Birthday,
Happy Birthday,

Happy Birthday Jane

Pushing thru the market square, so many mothers sighing
News had just come over, we had five years left to cry in
News guy wept and told us, earth was really dying
Cried so much his face was wet, then I knew he was not lying
I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies
I saw boys, toys electric irons and t.v.s
My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
And all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people
And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people
I never thought Id need so many people

A girl my age went off her head, hit some tiny children
If the black hadnt a-pulled her off, I think she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm, fixed his stare to the wheels of a cadillac
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest, and a queer threw up at the sight of that

I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour, drinking milk shakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine, dont think
You knew you were in this song
And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
And I thought of ma and I wanted to get back there
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
I kiss you, youre beautiful, I want you to walk

Weve got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
Weve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, thats all weve got
Weve got five years, what a surprise
Five years, stuck on my eyes
Weve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, thats all weve got
Weve got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
Weve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, thats all weve got
Weve got five years, what a surprise
Weve got five years, stuck on my eyes
Weve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, thats all weve got
Five years
Five years
Five years
Five years
