SONG  LYRICS:

FUN BALL

Some  can  handle two

don't  you agree?

You'll  get  more  than

your  pound  of  flesh  with  me

She  winked  and  nudged

but  only  half-jokingly

She's  a  ball  of  fun

I'll  give  her  that

though  too  much

for  my  cricket  bat

Some  can  handle  two

do't  you see?

Wanna  come  home

and  handle  me?

She  winked  and  nudged

but  only  half-jokingly

She's  etc  (twice)

Repeat  1st  verse

She's  etc  (twice)

HARD  KISS

The  meaning  of  life  is  to  live

but  you  just  wanna  die

You seek  the  kiss  of death

and  a  hardy  goodbye

Kiss  him  hardy

Kiss  him  true

between  the  blue  sky

and  life's  sea  of  blue

You're  adrift  in  some  boat

on  what  makes  you  feel  a hero

yet  when  that  stuff  wears  off

you'll  wish  to  die  Horatio

Kiss him  etc  (twice)

The  meaning etc

Kiss  him  etc  (twice)

CRYSTAL  PALACE

Shattered  dreams

like  glass splinters

Through the  opening

pour  all  past  winters

Can  close  no  window

Can close  no  door

Your  crystal  palace

is  no  more,  no  more

Just  like  the  rook

that  builds  its  nest

in your high  dreams

did  you  invest

Now  they  are  beggared

like the  tramp  in  his  vest

Can  close  etc

Shattered  dreams etc

Brian took some  pictures on Christmas Eve too -

SONG  LYRICS:

STICK  UP

If  that  tower  didn't  lean

nobody  would  go  view  the  scene

They  might  be  dark  but  they're  not  green

It's  a  stitch  up

We'll  never  get  rich

It's  a  stitch  up

Yeah  we've  been  stitched

If  there  was  nobody  poor

then  charity  would  be  no  more

That's  right  we  know  the  score

It's  a  etc

If  eveybody  was  filthy  rich

who'd  go out  to  dig  a  ditch?

Take  the  workers  down  a  stitch

It's  a  etc

If  that  tower  etc

It's  a  etc

SELF  SERVICE

Like  a  cat's  kittens

Like  a  bitch's  pups

politicians  milk  the  system

because  power  corrupts

If  all  of  us  werte  equal

then  the  power  that  be

wouldn't  belong  the  public  servants

but  to  you  and  to  me

Like  etc

You  say  we're  already  equal

in  the  eyes  of  God  anyway

yet  I  don't  see  god  sitting

in  our  parliament  today

Like  etc

If  all  etc

Like  etc

SONG  LYRIC:

DAVINCI  TOUCH

They  say  you  are a  girl  with  style

but  I  see  a  guy  behind that  Mona  Lisa  smile

Let  me  put  you  in  the  frame

You  were  born  with  a  boy's  name

You're  much  too  much

You're  a  painted  lady

with a  DaVinci  touch

You're  etc

You  might  look a  work  of  art

yet  I  saw  through  from  the  start

No  no  lady  you're  not  for  real

and  to  me  you've  no  appeal

You're  etc  etc

They  say  etc

You're  etc  etc

SONG  LYRICS

PRETTY  PIEFF

To  your  beauty  he  was  not  blind

To  your  voice  he  was  not  deaf

He  won  the  rose  to  lose  it  find

as  you  grew  older  Pieff

Upward  grows  the  pretty  rose

and  it's  rich  or  powerful  men

will  pluck  the  flower  on its  stem

until  it   fades  and  beauty  goes

No  blind  he  wasn't  to  your  beauty

nor  deaf  was  he  to  your  voice

and  you  won  him  to  lose  him  surely

when  came  his  way  a  younger  choice

Upward  etc

To  your  etc

Upward  etc

PINK  LADY

Give  me  a  pink  lady

i  want  a  pink lady  please

I've  got  me  a  thirst

Gotta  tickle  for  that  tease

I  saw  a  pink  lady

She  was  coming  on  fresh

Yeah  I  saw  a  pink  lady

in  a  side-slit  dress

Give  me  etc

I  saw  a  pink  lady

in  a  side-slit  dress

and  that  dress  she  wore

was  the colour  of  flesh

Give  me  etc

I  saw  etc

Give  me  etc
