I tried to party all night but I crashed out 'round twelve-thirty
Tried to party all night but I really wasn't thirsty
And I wasn't going to go, I tried to stay at home but they made me
Yeah, there's something going on but I'm a Stay-In Stacey
And if I don't get back alive
Or if I don't make forty-five
I’ve had a wonderful time, thanks for coming to see me
Had a wonderful time, but I read the signs, I'm leaving
And I wasn't going to go, ‘cos I’ve forgotten how to partáy
Tried to party all night but I threw up outside Carpe
And if I don't get back alive
Or if I don't make forty-five
Keep holding on
Keep holding on
Keep holding ever-shifting shapes and bodies out in space anon
Hey, that’s friends holding on
And if I don't get back alive
Or if I don't make forty-five
Keep holding on
Keep holding on
Keep holding ever-shifting shapes and bodies out in space anon
Hey, that’s friends holding on
Well, I guess it would be nice, if I could touch your body
I know not everybody has a body like you
And I gotta think twice, before I give my heart away
'Cos I know all the games you play, 'cos I play them too
But you got to have faith
You got to have faith, you do

Tonight, I’m going out murderin’
With my doctor’s coat and my doctor’s hat
And my doctor’s tools in my doctor’s bag
And it’s only ‘cos I’m lonely tonight
Tonight, I’m going out stranglin’
Got my stranglin’ scarf and my stranglin’ gloves
My strangler’s stare and my strangler’s clutch
And it’s only ‘cos I’m lonely tonight
Will you be there when I call?
Oh yeah, of course, I disconnected the phones
And I know full well you are home
Because I can see through your windows
And it’s only ‘cos I’m lonely tonight

The golden pathway
A treasury of knowledge is found within
My last will and testament
Is found on the phantom ship
The stolen bacillus --- the hoax.
How Dante’s escaped the chateaux.
A song for St. Celia’s Day --- La Belle Dame San Merci
Oh ye --- oh yeay
The golden pathway
A treasury of knowledge is found within
At war with the Corronades
Being ashore --- O carpe diem!
The stolen bacillus --- the hoax.
How Dante’s escaped the chateaux.
A song for St. Celia’s Day --- La Belle Dame San Merci
Oh ye --- oh yeay
The stolen bacillus --- the hoax.
How Dante’s escaped the chateaux.
A song for St. Celia’s Day --- La Belle Dame San Merci
Oh ye --- oh yeay

I have nothing left to give,
I need what is left so I can live ---
Please spare me a little change
Won’t you give me a Goddamn break?
“No! No! No-No-No-No!"
We are the government, the taxman and the wolf at the door
The bank and the council and the Devil, of course
Are baying for my blood again --- They always want more
I have nothing left to give,
I need what is left so I can live ---
Please spare me a little change
Won’t you give me a Goddamn break?
“No! No! No-No-No-No!
We are the government, the taxman and the wolf at the door
The bank and the council and the Devil, of course ---
We each have a price and we’ll help ourselves to what is yours”
I have nothing left to give
I need what is left so I can live ---
Please spare me a little change
Won’t you give me a Goddamn break?
“No! No! No-No-No-No!”
(Me and Billy Bragg.)
When Moses stood on the mountaintop to receive the gift from God ---
Who do you think we waiting at the bottom to divvy up his lot?
Yeah, the government, the taxman and the wolf at the door
The bank and the council and the Devil, of course!
Ohh, I’m dreaming of everything, everything I have not
I work all day and I’m not getting anything and the price of living won’t drop
So I say, “No! No! No-No-No-No!
No! No! No-No-No-No!
FUCK OFF!”
