Stranglers - Always The Sun
How Many Times Have You Woken Up And Prayed For The Rain?
How Many Times Have You Seen The Papers Apportion To Blame?
And Who Gets To Say?
Who Gets To Work And Who Gets To Play?
I Was Always Told At School Everybody Should Get The Same
How Many Times Have You Been Told If You Don't Ask You Don't Get?
How Many Liars Have Taken Your Money? Your Mother Said You Shouldn't Bet
But Who Has The Fun?
Is It Always A Man With A Gun?
Someone Must Have Told You If You Work Too Hard You Can Sweat
There's Always The Sun
There's Always The Sun
Always, Always, Always The Sun
How Many Times Have The Weathermen Told You Stories That Made You Laugh?
You Know it's Not Unlike The Politicions And The Leaders When They Do Things By Half
And Who Gets The Job?
Of Pushing The Knob
That Sort Of Responsibility You Draw Straws For If You're Mad Enough
There's Always The Sun
There's Always The Sun
Always, Always, Always The Sun...

| You'll Always Reap What You Sow | |
|
To think I knew you when you had nothing at all
And now you've got your back to the wall
It only goes to show, you'll always reap just what you sow
You had no reason for being so bad
You had the world in the palm of your hand
It only goes to show, you'll always reap just what you sow
I didn't think of vengeance, don't forget I loved you once
And now it's turned full circle, you just won't find another chance
Look how the mighty have managed to fall
Your fancy words didn't help you at all
It only goes to show, you'll always reap just what you sow
I didn't think of vengeance, don't forget I loved you once
And now it's turned full circle, you just won't find another chance
It only goes to show, you'll always reap just what you sow
It only goes to show, you'll always reap just what you sow
I didn't think of vengeance, don't forget I loved you once
And now it's turned full circle, you just won't find another chance

Stranglers - Nice In Nice
Just Look At That Girl
She Knows The World Owes Her Something
And She's Alright
Just Look At That Girl
She Knows She Got That Something
And She's Alright
She's Got Diamond Rings From Her Dad
She's Got Fancy Things From Her Dad
All The World It Wants This Lady
All The World It Wants Her
So Nice In Nice (So Nice And Neat)
So Nice And Neat (So Nice And Neat)
So Nice In Nice (So Nice And Neat)
So Nice And Neat
Just Look At That Girl
She Owns The Ground She Walks On
And She Walks All Over You
Just Look At That Girl
She Smiles And Breaks Your Heart
There's Nothing You Can Do
She's Got Diamond Rings From Her Dad
She's Got Fancy Things From Her Dad
All The World It Wants My Baby
All The World It Wants Her
So Nice In Nice (So Nice And Neat)
So Nice And Neat (So Nice And Neat)
So Nice In Nice (So Nice And Neat)
So Nice And Neat
Don't Ever Tell Me
Lies You Can't Support
I Wouldn't Believe You
I Wouldn't Believe At All
Even If I Saw
Just Look At That Girl
Where Once She Wore Leather Jackets
Now She Wearing Furs
Just Look At That Girl
she Walks around Owning Everything
It's Not Even Hers
She's Got Diamond Rings From Her Dad
She's Got Fancy Things From Her Dad
All The World It Wants My Baby
All The World It Wants Her
So Nice In Nice (So Nice And Neat)
So Nice And Neat (So Nice And Neat)
So Nice In Nice (So Nice And Neat)
So Nice And Neat (So Nice And Neat)
She Walks Straight Ahead
Walks All Over You
She Smiles And Breaks Your Heart

Stranglers - Big In America
I Met A Roach In America
His Family Had A Massive Tree
They Live Just About Everywhere
He Was Big In America
He Was Big In America
I Met A Vet In America
He Was Alive He Was In Overdrive
He'd Just Been Around Everywhere
He Was Big In America
He Was Big In America
And When You're Big In America
You Like To Live In America
You Won't Be On Your Own
And Since You're Big In America
You Might As Well Make America Your Home
Big In America
I Met A Girl In America
She Wore The Pants Cross The Big Expanse
She Was Whipping Man Everywhere
She Was Big In America
She Was Big In America
And When You're Big In America
You Like To Live In America
You Won't Be On Your Own
And Since You're Big In America
You Might As Well Make America Your Home
Big In America
Big In America
Big In America
Big In America

| Shakin' Like a Leaf | |
|
When you're lying in your bed
Wide awake with sleepy head
Thinking you should look beneath
And then you're shakin' shakin' shakin'
See a full moon in the sky
Time to be away and fly
Seems to be the sole relief
It's got me shakin' shakin' shakin'
Oh silent night, give me some respite
Why must it be so brief?
It's got me shakin'
It's got me shakin'
Like a leaf
Now that autumn's hit the ground
Every day and every sound
Says the world is changing around
It's got me shakin' shakin' shakin'
See the villains on their screens
Doing battle with their teams
Another week delays their grief
It's got me shakin' shakin' shakin'
Oh silent night, give me some respite
Why must it be so brief?
It's got me shakin'
It's got me shakin'
Like a leaf
Shakin' shakin' shakin' like a leaf
Shakin' shakin' shakin' like a leaf
Shakin'
Like a leaf.

| Mayan Skies | |
|
I can see red is the colour of life in a Mayan sky
I can see green is the colour of jungle in Mayan skies
Mexico speaks at the sunrise
I can see yellow's the colour of gold under Mayan skies
Tempting children who came to get rich under Mayan skies
Mexico speaks at the sunrise
Mayan skies sleep talk with voices of lovers
In torture and suffering they soothe one another
The passion of youth kisses age in a nation
The Mayan skies painting a colour creation up above
Mayan skies sleep talk with voices of lovers
In torture and suffering they soothe one another
The passion of youth kisses age in a nation
The Mayan skies painting a colour creation up above
I can see red, green and yellow the colours of Mayan skies...
