Too Much Too Young

You've done too much much too young now you're married with a kid
When you could be having fun with me gimme no more pickni
You've done too much, much too young now you're married with a son 

When you should be having fun with me we don't want  no more pickni

Ain't he cute no he ain't He's just another burden on the welfare state
You've done too much much too young now you're married with a kid
When you could be having fun with me gimme no more pickni
Call me immature call me a poser I'd love to spread manure in your bed of roses
Don't want to be rich don't want to be famous but I'd really hate to have the same name as you

You've done too much, much too young now you're married with a kid
When you could be having fun with me gi we de birth control, we no want no pickni
You've done too much much too young now you're chained to the cooker 

Making currant buns for tea  gimme no more pickni
Ain't you heard of the starving millions ain't you heard of contraception
Do you really think a program of sterilization take control of the population boom
It's in your living room keep a generation gap try wearing a cap

Gangsters

Bernie Rhodes knows Don't Argue

Why must you record my phone calls are you planning a bootleg LP?

Said you've been threatened by gangsters now it's you, that's threatening me

Can't fight corruption with con tricks they use the law to commit crime

And I dread to think what the future will bring when we're living in gangster time

Don't call me scarface

Can't interrupt while I'm talking or they'll confiscate all your guitars

And Catch 22 says if I sing the truth they won't make me an overnight star

Don't offer us legal protection they use the law to commit crime

I dread to think what the future will bring when we're living in real gangster time

Bernie Rhodes knows Don't Argue

Ghost Town

This town, is coming like a ghost town all the clubs have been closed down

This place, is coming like a ghost town bands won't play no more

Too much fighting on the dance floor

Do you remember the good old days before the ghost town?

We danced and sang, and the music played in a de boomtown

This town, is coming like a ghost town

Why must the youth fight against themselves government leaving the youth on the shelf

This place, is coming like a ghost town

No job to be found in this country

Can't go on no more the people getting angry

This town, is coming like a ghost town

This town, is coming like a ghost town

Little Bitch

If you ever hear a noise in the night your body starts to sweat,

It shakes and shivers in fright you go and sleep with your mother

She hates you guts she knows that you love her so she holds you tight

All through the night in to the broad daylight and when she doesn't come home

You'll have to sleep alone then you wet your bed and I think that's sad

For a girl of nineteen it's more than sad, it's obscene!

And your girlfriend sweet little seventeen she's got her layered hair and her flared jeans

You know what that means, she's just a little queen she shares your London flat

She thinks that London's where it's at although it stinks and when it rains you wear your hat

And your plum coloured pvc wet- look maxi mac

You tie your ginger hair back in a bun you're the ugliest creature, under the sun!

And you think it's about time that you died and I agree so you decide on suicide

You tried but you never quite carried it out you only wanted to die in order to show off

And if you think you're gonna bleed all over me you're even wronger than you'd normally be

And the only things you want to see are kitsch and the only thing you want to be is rich

Your little pink up-pointed nose begins twitch I know you know you're just a little bitch!

Vote For Me

If we vote for you, do you promise to be upright, decent and honest

To have our best interest at heart you understand why we don't believe you

You're way too easy to see through not the best places to start

There are no rocks at Rockaway beach and all that glitters isn't gold

You're all so drunk on money and power inside your Ivory tower

Teaching us not to be smart making laws that serve to protect you

But we will never forget that you tore our families apart

There are no rocks at Rockaway beach and all that glitters isn't gold

So if we vote for you, do you promise to be upright, decent and honest

And take away all of the fear you sit and wait for us to elect you

But all we will do is reject you your politics brought us to tears

There are no rocks at Rockaway beach and all that glitters isn't gold
