1 The Chad Who Loved Me


It will all come crashing down, my desperate icon
You've got a gob on my desperate icon
It will all come crashing in, my desperate icon
You've got a gob on your desperate icon.

Am I a God, am I Jesus
Am I a man or am I a boy
Do I feel love or just possession
Do I feel holy or nothing at all

You can't deny that your sh*t tastes as sweet as mine
You can't deny that your sh*t tastes as sweet as mine
Sweet Jesus

2 Mansun's Only Love Song


If I start this small debate
The centre of the universe is up for sale
If my melody should fall
The tune is unimportant as I said before
Or should I say it was the words...
.... I should...

Standing in grey lantern light
Mavis looking sexy in her dress, it shines
Hiding in the vestry she recites her lines

She says I can't see you
I love you, I miss you
I can't see you
I love you, I do

If I feel God watching me
I control the actions of his destiny
All my sentiments ring true
You feel him in the mirror laughing back at you
If I could tell you how it seems...
... I would...

If I start this small debate
The centre of the universe is up for sale
If my melody should fall
The tune is unimportant as I said before
Or should I say it was the words...
.... I should...

3 Taxloss


He'll be your taxloss lover from Liverpool
Taxloss lover if the truth be told
Taxloss lover still lives in the war
Taxloss lover touches 74

Ah come back to me, we want your money
Taxloss
We think you are stupid
We give you money 'cos our assets are fluid
Yeah, we'll sell you down the river
Just remember said we'd deliver you

Sign on the line and
We'll give you the money
And then you'll be mine
And we'll fly somewhere sunny
And you'll quibble that our dribble
Seems unsatisfactory
You're a taxloss
Ah come back to me, we want your money
Taxloss!

He's your taxloss lover and his name is Bert
Taxloss lover and he's always a flirt
Taxloss lover's into kinky sex
Taxloss lover wears a cracking dress

Tax loss, mud rock
Junk pop, chart hop
Mop top, swap shop
Who'd you nick your cliche off

4 You, Who Do You Hate?


You're a child, you are weak
You are precious, you won't speak
And if I ever lived again
I wish I could be you
And if I ever loved again
I wish I could be YOU!

How can I expect you to believe
When I don't even believe in me
And if I ever lived again
I wish I could be you
And if I ever loved again
I wish I could be YOU!

5 Wide Open Space


I'm in a wide open space
I'm standing, all alone
And staring into space

It's always quiet through my ceiling
The roof comes in and crashes in a daze

I'm in a wide open space,
It's freezing
You'll never get to heaven
With a smile on your face from me

I'm in a wide open space,
I'm staring,
There's something quite bizarre
I cannot see

I'm on top of the hill,
I'm lonely
There's someone here to shout to miles away

I could be back in my house,
For I care
They do not hear me
It's the same old case

6 Stripper Vicar


Dear Mavis, I'm compelled to write this letter
In the hope that you may soon be getting better
I've a feeling you should go and see a doctor
If you haven't then you know you really oughta
I was worried so I went to see the vicar
But before I could confess,
He first confessed to be a stripper

Dear Mavis, it was very strange to see him
So I'd thought I'd write and ask of your opinion
Should I grass on him, report him to the cardinal
Or whether I should egg him on to turn professional
If I dob on him they'll call him plastic scouser
But the only thing the stripper vicar wears
Is plastic trousers

Mavis' opinion is all we really seek
Mavis' opinion is all...

Should we lie while he's still alive?
Should we lie while he's still alive?
'Cos when the vicar strips he gets away with it

Dear Mavis, I thought I'd follow up my letter
Drop a line about the fate of our poor vicar
Very tragically his time on Earth is ended
Found him gagged and bound in stockings and suspenders
Dear Mavis, if you tell us what your thoughts are
And I hope that they're not biased
'Cos you are the vicar's daughter

Mavis' opinion is all we really seek
Mavis' opinion is all...

Should we lie now that he's died?
Should we lie now that he's died?
'Cos when the vicar strips he gets away with it

And we know him as our vicar
And by night a part-time stripper
And the vicar got suspended
In his stockings and suspenders
And he's making wine from water
While he dresses like his daughter
And we know that he's a rip-off
'Cos we've seen him with his kit off

7 Disgusting


You're the stranger here,
With your stranger face
You that everyone can see is false
Something's rotten with you,
You show no regret like we all know
You're supposed to do

I hope you've changed the way you think
I hope you've changed the clothes you wear
I hope you regret these things you say
I hope in time that things will change
I think you know that anyway
You've been disgraceful
It's so regretful
You've been disgusting

You're the outcast here,
You're the native of a place
You've been moved and excluded to
You create a tension,
When we were the same
There was a pressure that would force you to

You're so full of venom
That you'll spit into your own sweet face

8 She Makes My Nose Bleed
She makes me bleed, she makes me cry
She makes me sneeze, she makes me sigh
So bring her on down,
Bring her on down from heaven

My only number must be, must be
Bring her on down by the soles of her feet
Slapping her round and making her bleed
I vowed to my God that I'd give it all up
If he would bring her on down from heaven

She makes me bleed, don't know her name
She makes me freeze, she's in my face
So bring her on down,
Bring her on down from heaven

My only number must be, must be
Bring her on down by the soles of her feet
Slapping her round and making her bleed
I vowed to my God that I'd give it all up
If he would bring her on down from heaven

9 Naked Twister


To be twisted, to be naked
To be broken, to be free

Tell me stick or twist
Tell me which will it be
I tell you stick or twist
Tell me which do you see
Oh can't you see...

Oh yeah
Where do we go, who do you trust
What do we see.....
Oh who wants to know, what do we tell
What will we see.....
Oh where do we go now,
Who do we see, oh yeah

It will sparkle, it is beauty
It is broken, it is free
Tell me stick or twist
Tell me which will it be
I tell you stick or twist
Tell me which do you see
Oh can't you see...

Oh yeah
Where do we go, who do you trust
What do we see.....
Oh who wants to know, what do we tell
What will we see.....
Oh where do we go now,
Who do we see, oh yeah

10 Egg Shaped Fred


I'm sick of all this scratching around
I'm calling Fred to come and give me a hand
He's the queen of all the shops where he shops
He's the king of all the scenes to be seen

Skinima nosebreak, Fatima toothpaste,
Penelope cheapskate, Claudia farmgate,

We're taking egg shaped Fred for tea
We'll make them sit strategically
We'll taste their egg-ability
We'll make them meet

He only wants to get in your kecks
So he can carry out his own little test
He only wants to get in your pants
Because he knows that you've played in a band

Skinima nosebreak, Fatima toothpaste,
Penelope cheapskate, Claudia farmgate,

We're taking egg shaped Fred for tea
We'll make them sit strategically
We'll taste their egg-ability
We'll make them meet

Mavis she knows, yeah Mavis she knows
She's got all those things around her
All things to men
See you in hell, I'll go shopping instead

He will send his centipede to sort ya'
He's stretched it out to make it two feet taller

11 Dark Mavis


Wait around, I'll be walking quite a while
Don't be late, hard to take,
Vicar twists and gets away
His lipstick's running,
His dress is stunning
He's got high heels on
And his flock don't care
Now Mavis what will he wear

In the path of righteous man
There is rubble where I stand
I'll be the one...
You can kiss his vase
Until the end of the month

Vicar stay,
'Cos your lipstick's smeared from your face
Vicar twist, grey pyjamas in your case
His tights are nylon,
His nails by revlon
He's got high heels on
And his flock don't care
Now Mavis what will he wear

In the path of righteous man
There is rubble where I stand
I'll be the one...
You can kiss his vase
Until the end of the month

And if you should see me passing by
Do not disturb me as I fly
Though I am far away
This is where I'll be

In the path of righteous man
There is rubble where I stand
I'll be the one...
You can kiss his vase
Until the end of the month

Na na nah nah nah nah naaah
(repeat until fade)
