Late september you walked into my life  
I remember the autumn, I remember that night  
The smile on your face, the pale pale moon  
All those good times still left to come  

Awoke by a phone call one cold night  
In my dream you had been going to die  
I felt so scared that I was going to loose you  
When I answered the phone I already knew  
I cried bitter tears, you had been taken your own life  

Down the corridor to the bedroom  
I sit there in silence all alone  
And alone is all I'll ever be  
Except at night when you visit my dreams  
And it tears my mind I can't see you tomorrow  

Back to track listing  

We were walking, walking in two worlds  
In the gardens of sunlight home  
Bad children on the phone, withheld me to withhold you  
I said I'd kiss you if you want, you got things back to front  
I got a letter, I sent it back  
I didn't like it, what you had  

Jack names the planets after you  
Jack names the planets after you  
Jack names the planets after you-ooh, you-ooh  

When I turned, you had gone away  
So I didn't skip upon that day  
Morose feeling, small mind  
Don't touch it's face you might like its kind  

I said I'd kiss you if you want  
You got things back to front  
Don't mind your spelling  
It ain't so bad  
Things like that, they never made me quite so mad as you  

Jack names the planets after you  
Jack names the planets after you  
Jack names the planets after you-ooh, you-ooh  

I wish you'd come back, everythings ready for you  
You are welcome if you plan to  
You can come walking and you know where  
You gotta understand, that you gotta care  
Said I'd kiss you if you want  
You've got things back to front  
My mother's dying and I've got to go home  
But there's more you wont be solely on your own, now  

Jack names the planets after you  
Jack names the planets after you  
Jack names the planets after you-ooh, you-ooh

Now it's too late to be using my mind, yeah  
To reason with you, would be far too kind, yeah  
The sun coming down like the dark on the town, yeah  
The cold stings my tear stained face, yeah  

So now it's all over,  
It's much too late to say oh no  

I try not to echo everyone's dreams, yeah  
But they don't exist, or so it seems, yeah  
They just live, inside of me, yeah  
But It's so dark  
I can never ever see you  

And now it's all over  
It's much too late to say oh no  

And oh she looked so lonely, standing on her own  
And oh she looked so lonely, standing all alone  

She looked at me, as she closed the door, yeah  
A stare so cold, but what for, yeah  
I fell in love, as she crossed the floor, yeah.  
I need her now, but she hates me more, yeah  

And now it's all over  
It's much too late to say oh no  

Oh she looked so lonely, standing on her own  
Oh she looked so lonely, standing all alone  
And oh she left me lonely, standing on my own  
Forget the past please quickly  
Gone for oh so long, no.

I set off this morning  
Down the road along the river  
Which I take but once a year  
My walk will take me by the shore  
Then inland for a mile or more  
From the cold sea spray  

A small wood stands upon a hill  
An old house near it lies in ruins  
Forgotten long ago  
And here in a clearing,  
Overgrown with moss and ivy  
Is your lonely grave  

At dusk I will make my way  
Along the lanes and through the fields  
To where my cottage is  
Before I step inside for bed  
I look up at the stars as we had  
All those years ago  

So here's for uncle pat

Get your money out, get your money out  
Get your money out for me  
And get it out, get it all out  
Get it all out and you'll see  

You've got so much to give  
You've got so much to lose  
It might seem just a little unfair  
But then you'll see that you cannot choose  

Take a time out, take a time out  
Take a time out for me  
And get it out, get it all out  
Get it all out and you'll see  

You've got so much to give  
You've got so much to lose  
It might seem a little unfair  
But then you'll see that you cannot choose  

Get yourself out, get yourself out  
Get yourself out for me  
And get it out, get it all out  
Get it all out and you'll see  

You've got so much to give  
You've got so much to lose  
It might seem a little unfair  
But then you'll see that you cannot choose  

You've got so much to give  
You've got so much to lose  
It might seem a little unfair  
But then you'll see that you cannot choose

The cars come up the drive, so many people inside  
Under the stars they smile, they want to invade my home  
I pace the darkened hall, try to consider it all  
In the dull lamps glow, and the truth is I don't know  

The cars stop outside, they all stay inside  
The house is drenched in light, but what have I done wrong  
I quietly climb the stairs, I remember all the years  
I check everything is right, I need to hurry now  

I've been preparing for days, I know exactly what to say  
No one will be around, no one will take me down  
They'll all get back in the cars, and maybe they'll go home  
But the things they'll never know, like where it is I go

He spent the week at his friend's house  
It had been ages since they'd been in touch  
And the weekend passed in a drunken haze  
It felt good, like the old days  

I lied you're not so different today  
Don't go off so far away  
And without you my life is boring, anyway  

They went down to the station on sunday  
He felt so sad as the train pulled away  
He wished that it would never end  
He knew he'd never see him again  

I lied you're not so different today  
Don't go off so far away  
And without you my life is boring, anyway

Who's that boy with the honey face, looks like he should be sedated  
He's all smash and grab in his Adidas tags, wound up and agitated,  

And I bet he's not a real punk boy  
Bet he's not a real punk boy, bet he's not a real punk boy  

Does your heart go boom when he walks in the room  
Do rain clouds scatter and fall  
Do you feel yourself sigh when he passes you by  
Or do you grow a hundred feet tall  

d'you go bang shang alang,  every time you see him  
d'you go bang shang alang,  every time you're near him  
d'you go bang shang alang,  every time you hear him  

If you don't he's not a real punk boy  
If you don't he's not a real punk boy  
If you don't he's not a real punk boy at all  

Who's that boy with the ocean green eyes  
In Rough Trade every Saturday,  
Don't he look cute in his Eighties track suit  
I wish I hadn't thrown mine away  

And I bet he's not a real punk boy  
Bet he's not a real punk boy,  
Bet he's not a real punk boy at all  

Do stars explode when he walks you home, on a cool and clear evening  
D'you wanna put him on like your favourite song  
Or never wanna hear him  

D'you go bang shang alang,  every time you see him  
D'you go bang shang alang,  every time you're near him  
D'you go bang shang alang,  every time you hear him  

If you don't he's not a real punk boy  
If you don't he's not a real punk boy  
If you don't he's not a real punk boy at all

I was shooting up in my hotel room, when the phone started ringing  
Oh no! (Told him to Fuck Off)  
It was dr. no, he gave the password  
He said: hey, man, haven't you heard  
And I said no  
The world's been invaded by alien life forms  
Meet me at the airport, we've got to get out  
Let's go  

I ran to the window and looked out, there were dead people lying all over the streets man. Within two minutes I had all my stuff together. I jumped in my car and was speeding down the highway, past all the deserted cars. Five minutes later I was at the airport, but there at the gates I saw what I suppose was one of these 'alien life forms'. I pulled my bazooka out of its bag in the back of the car and blew it to hell. As arranged Dr. No was waiting for me at the terminal. We got in his private jet plane and took off, two hours later we landed in Zaire, where we met up with Fu Manchu, Hannibal Lecter, the Hooded Claw and all the rest of the gang. We boarded the rocket and soon we were shooting off for the stars, and as we approached the space station I looked down and observed the earth, the US air force being annihilated and swarms of nuclear weapons soaring through the stratosphere destroying the earth - and I swear to God I laughed.
