HELL HOLE
(Tufnel / St. Hubbins)
The window's dirty, the mattress stinks
This ain't no place to be a man
Ain't got no future, ain't got no past
And I don't think I ever can
The floor is filthy the walls are thin
The wind is howling in my face
The rats are peeling, I'm losing ground
Can't seem to join the human race
Yeah, I'm living in a hell hole
Don't want to stay in this hell hole
Don't want to die in this hell hole
Girl, get me out of this hell hole
I rode the jetstream, I hit the top
I'm eating steak and lobster tails
The sauna's drafty, the pool's too hot
The kitchen stinks of boiling snails
The taxman's coming, the butler quit
This ain't no way to be a man
I'm going back to where I started
I'm flashing back into my pan
It's better in a hell hole
You know where you stand in a hell hole
Folks lend a hand in a hell hole
Girl get me back to my hell hole.
SEX FARM
(Tufnel / St. Hubbins)
Working on a sex farm
Trying to raise some hard love
Getting out my pitch fork
Poking your hay
Scratching in your henhouse
Sniffing at your feedbag
Slipping out your back door
Leaving my spray
Sex farm woman, I'm gonna mow you down
Sex farm woman, I'll rake and hoe you down
Sex farm woman, don't you see my silo rising
high?
Working on a sex farm
Hosing down your barn door
Bothering you livestock
They know what I need
Working up a hot sweat
Crouching in your pea patch
Plowing through your beanfield
Planting my seed
Sex farm woman, I'll be your hired hand
Sex farm woman, I'll let my offer stand
Sex farm woman, don't you hear my tractor rumbling
by?
Working on a sex farm
Trying to raise some hard love
Getting out my pitch fork
Poking your hay
STONEHENGE
(Tufnel / St. Hubbins)
In ancient times, hundreds of years before the
dawn of history
There lived a strange race of people...the Druids.
No one knows who they were, or what they were
doing...
But their legacy remains...
Hewn into the living rock of Stonehenge.
Stonehenge, where the demons dwell
Where the banshees live and they do live well
Stonehenge, where a man is a man
And the children dance to the pipes of pan
Stonehenge, tis a magic place
Where the moon doth rise with a dragon's face
Stonehenge, where the virgins lie
And the prayer of devils fill the midnight sky
And you my love, won't you take my hand
We'll go back in time to that mystic land
Where the dew drops cry and the cats meow
I will take you there, I will show you how
And oh, how they danced, the little children of
Stonehenge
Beneath the haunted moon.
For fear that daybreak might come too soon.
And where are they now, the little people
of Stonehenge?
And what would they say to us...
If we were here... tonight?
BIG BOTTOM
(Tufnel / St. Hubbins)
The bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin'
That's what I said
The looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand
Or so I have read
My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo
I'd like to sink her with my pink torpedo
Big bottom, big bottom
Talk about bum cakes, my girl's got 'em
Big bottom drive me out of my mind
How could I leave this behind?
I met her on Monday, twas my lucky bun day
You know what I mean
I love her each weekday, each velvety cheek day
You know what I mean
My love gun's loaded and she's in my sights
Big game is waiting there inside her tights,
yeah
Big bottom, big bottom
Talk about mud flaps, my girl's got 'em
Big bottom, drive me out of my mind
How could I leave this behind?
My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo
I'd like to sink her with my pink torpedo
Big bottom, big bottom
Talk about bum cakes, my girl's got 'em
Big bottom, drive me out of my mind
How could I leave this behind?
TONIGHT I'M GONNA ROCK YOU TONIGHT
(Tufnel / St. Hubbins)
Little girl, it's a great big world
But there's only one of me
You can't touch 'cause I cost too much but
Tonight I'm gonna rock you
Yeah, tonight I'm gonna rock you
Tonight!
You're sweet but you're just four feet
And you still got your baby teeth
You're too young and I'm too well hung
But tonight I'm gonna rock you
Yeah, tonight I'm gonna rock you
Tonight!
Do-re-mi-fa-so, la-ti-do...
Do-re-mi-fa-so, la-ti-do...
You're hot to take all we got
Not a dry seat in the house
Next day, we'll be on our way
But tonight I'm gonna rock you
Yeah, tonight I'm gonna rock you
Tonight!
Little girl, it's a great big world
But there's only one of me...
BREAK LIKE THE WIND
(Tufnel / St. Hubbins)
We are the children who grew too fast
We are the dust of a future past
We raise our voices in the night
Crying to heaven
And will our voices be heard
Or will they break like the wind?
We are the footprints across the sands
We are the thumb on a stranger's hand
We made a promise in the night
Swearing to heaven
Is this a promise we keep
Or one we break like the wind
Hey!
We are the guests who have stayed too long
We are the end of the endless song
We send our hearts into the night
Soaring to heaven
And will out hearts still beat on
Or will they break like the wind?
Ooh, break like the wind!
CUPS AND CAKES
(Tufnel / St. Hubbins)
Cups and cakes
Cups and cakes
Oh what good things mother makes
You've got to take tea won't you take it with
me
What a gay time it will be
Cups and cakes
Cups and cakes
Please make sure that nothing breaks
The china's so dear and the treacle so clear
And I'm glad that you are here
Milk and sugar
Bread and Jam
Yes please, sir, and thank you ma'm
Here I am
Cups and cakes
Cups and cakes
I'm so full my tummy aches
How sad it must end
But I'm glad I've a friend
Sharing cups and cakes with me
And cakes with me...
RAINY DAY SUN
(Tufnel / St. Hubbins)
Here she comes, that Rainy Day Sun
Peeking in and out the falling raindrops
Smiling down on everyone
In her golden, gossamer gown
And a necklace of the finest rainbows
Drying out this rainy day town
Good-bye, cloudy skies!
Here she comes! Here she comes to
Cut them down to size
And dry the tears in my eyes
Here she comes that Rainy Day Sun
Like a moppet at a birthday party
Rainy day's not spoiling her fun
Open up the top of your mind
Catch the water in your magic paint-box
Oh, the many colors you find
Good-bye, cloudy skies
Here she comes! Here she comes to
Cut them down to size
And dry the tears in my eyes
We love you rainy day sun...
(LISTEN TO THE) FLOWER PEOPLE
(Pudding)
Listen... to what the flower people say
Listen... it's getting louder every day
Listen... it's like a bolt out of the blue
Listen... it could be calling now for you
Flower people walk on by
Flower people don't you cry
It's not too late (No!)
It's not too late
Listen... it's like a Mozart symphony
Listen... it's something just for you and me
Listen... to what the flower people say
Listen... it's getting truer every day
HEAVY DUTY
(Tufnel / St. Hubbins / Boccherini)
No light fantastic ever crosses my mind
That meditation stuff can make you go blind
Just crank that music to the point of pain
Why waste good music on a brain
Heavy duty
Heavy duty rock and roll
Heavy duty
Brings out the duty in my soul
I see you dancing there in front of the band
You're playin' the solos with no guitar in your
hand
I don't pull no punches I wouldn't waste your
time
And just cause it pays, that ain't no crime
Heavy duty
Heavy duty rock and roll
Heavy duty
Brings out the duty in my soul
Don't need a woman, I won't take me no wife
I get the rock and roll and that'll be my life
No page in history baby- that, I don't need
I just want to make some eardrums bleed
Heavy duty
Heavy duty rock and roll
Heavy duty
Brings out the duty in my soul
THE SUN NEVER SWEATS
(Tufnel / St. Hubbins)
Bolder than the pirates who used to rule the sea
Braver than the natives, who never heard of tea
They never knew what hit them, said the Spaniards
later on
Empire!
It was here and now it's gone
Even the biggest elephant never forgets
And the sun never sweats
No, the sun never sweats
You were younger than a virgin, older than the
sea
You were angel, you were devil, and I was all
of me
You knew you met your master, when I made you
stay at home
Woman!
Whatever made you roam
Even the hardest concrete never quite sets
And the sun never sweats
No, the sun never sweats
Losing is for losers, winners play to win
Always love the sinner, you may even like the
sin
The door that used to open has closed without
a crack
Woman!
You're like the Empire, and I still want you
back
We may be gods or just big marionettes
But the sun never sweats
Life is a gamble and we're all placing our bets
And the sun never sweats
No, the sun never sweats
ROCK 'N' ROLL CREATION
(Tufnel / St. Hubbins)
When there was darkness and the void was king
and ruled the elements
When there was silence and the hush was almost
deafening
Out of the emptiness (salvation!)
Salvation!
Rhythm and light and sound
Twas the rock and roll creation
Twas a terrible big bang
Twas the ultimate mutation
Ying was searching for his yang
And he looked and he saw that it was good
When I'm alone beneath the stars and feeling insignificant
I turn within to see the forces that created
me...
I look to the stars and the answer is clear
I look in the mirror and see what I fear
Tis the rock and roll creation
Tis the accident reversed
Tis the rolling of the ocean and the rocking
of the earth
And I looked and I saw that it was good!
GIMME SOME MONEY
(Pudding / Tufnel / St. Hubbins)
Stop wasting my time
You know what I want
You know what I need
Or maybe you don't
Do I have to come right
Flat out and tell you everything?
Gimme some money
Gimme some money
I'm nobody's fool
I'm nobody's clown
I'm treating you cool
I'm putting you down
But baby I don't intend to leave empty handed
Gimme some money
Gimme some money
Go Nigel go!
Don't get me wrong
Try getting me right
Your face is ok, but your purse is too tight
I'm looking for pound notes, loose change
Bad checks, anything
Gimme some money
Gimme some money...
