Underfoot

It's not healthy / to be cool
Do some damage / Break some rules
Want no silence / Want some noise
Want some girls / Want some boys
Chorus:
You wanna stand still, you wanna stay put
If you can't help, then don't get underfoot (2x)
Speak no evil / pretty lies
There's no safety / In compromise
Who you fooling / Only you
I don't believe it / Yeah, fuck you too
Chorus
Got so careful / You're no fun
But you can't help it / O boring one
Run to Mama / Run away
But at the counter / You pay and pay and pay
Chorus

Friend o' Mine

Friend o' Mine
By Wiseman, MacKenzie, Harrison, Boulanger
I heard you say
Just the other day
That we were through
I mean nothing to you
I won't ask why
Thought you were a friend of mine
How could I know
It never did show
You hid it well
And now you put me through hell
I hear you lie
Thought you were a friend of mine
Thought you were a friend, oh no
Thought you were a friend, oh no
Thought you were a friend, oh no, friend of mine
Now I decide
It's no use to hide
Say I don't care
Tell you it isn't fair
I'm not that kind
Thought you were a friend of mine
(Thought you were a friend)
You decide you want to go
(Thought you were a friend)
No goodbye, just off you go
(Thought you were a friend)
I always thought you were a friend of mine
Thought you were a friend of mine (many times)

Short Wave
By Wiseman, MacKenzie, Harrison, Boulanger
Got a signal from overseas
I listen to my enemies
Not much I understand
I only speak American
Tuned in on a short wave (4x)
This speech sounds familiar
You love me, or I'll kill ya
He's such a charming guy
He's got a voice that could make me cry
Tuned in on a short wave (4x)
My little short wave radio
Tells me things I'd never know
I get around official views
I'm free and I want to choose
I don't know who's to blame
News by any other name
I don't care what they say
I sold my TV today
Tuned in on a short wave (6x)

Alamo
By Wiseman, MacKenzie, Harrison, Boulanger
I remember it well
What you used to say
You talked a real good game
You sure knew how to play
I should have seen how it would be
A day to go down in history
Alamo (4x)
Powder burn on my right arm
And a bullet hole
Reinforcements never came
It's all out of control
I guess I'm making my last stand
Somehow, it's the way I planned
Alamo (4x)
Go down fighting!
Sundown in a red, red sky
Looks like the end
One escapes to spread the news
A messenger to send
For everyone you kill there'll be 10 more
I may have lost the battle, I won't lose the war
Alamo (4x)
(Alamo) One down and one to go
(Alamo) You're gonna need all you know
(Alamo) Play possum, get away
(Alamo) Live to fight another day
Alamo (4x)

You're Not for Me
By Wiseman, MacKenzie, Harrison, Boulanger
I know you, I know your kind
Say one thing then change your mind
Make up lies to get ahead
Make up lines to get in bed
Come on, take a look, it's plain to see
Better get away, you're not for me
You can't stand to be alone
Grab it on the telephone
Love the sound of your own voice
I'm so glad I have a choice
Come on, take a look, it's plain to see
Better get away, you're not for me
You've got nothing left to give
There's no reason you should live
You could do us all a favor
Gag yourself on a red Life Saver
Sucker
Come on, take a look, it's plain to see
Better get away, you're not for me
Come on, take a look, it's plain to see
Better get away, you're not for me

Underground Again
By Wiseman, MacKenzie, Harrison, Boulanger
Senator Blow gets it under the table
Senator Schmo gets whatever he's able
I don't have to ask where the money goes
I couldn't help notice that around your nose
I'm going under, I'm going under, I'm going under
Underground again
I feel so bad for people living in the street
Nowhere to pee and nothing to eat
I don't have to ask what they're doing about it
Government cutbacks, and then we'll be without it
I'm going under, I'm going under, I'm going under
Underground again
Talk all the time, but you never say a thing
Now we get to see what another four bring
See him on the tube, he looks so nice
Hides a man that's as cold as ice
I'm going under, I'm going under, I'm going under
Underground again
I'm underground again
I'm underground again
I'm underground again

I'm So Tall
By Robert G. MacKenzie
(I'm so tall)
I'm too tall to do the unmentioned
I'm so tall, I don't need an extension
I'm so tall that I can cause tension
I'm too tall to do the above-mentioned
(I'm so thin)
I'm too thin to wear a size 8
I'm so thin, people look and they hate
I'm so thin, people tell me I'm great
I'm too thin to wear and size 8
If you don't like the things that you may be
And that's not what you sought
What's the sense of living miserably
Make use of what you've got
(I'm so cool)
I'm too cool to be hanging 'round here
I'm too cool to go out and drink beer
I'm so cool that there's one thing I fear
I'm too cool to be seen around here
If you don't like the things that you may be
And that's not what you sought
What's the sense of living miserably
Make use of what you've got
(We're so weird)
We're so weird that we can't stand ourselves
We're so weird that we shampoo with Kwell
We're so weird that we definitely need help
We're so weird that we can't stand ourselves
Can't stand ourselves
Can't stand ourselves
Can't stand ourselves

Let's Not Dance
By Wiseman, MacKenzie, Harrison, Boulanger
Let's not dance (4x)
Let's not dance, not make the scene
See what's up on the video screen
Let's not dance, there is no space
Get your feet right into place
Let's not dance (4x)
Let's not dance, you stepped on my toe
Get your hands off, I don't want to go
You smell like salami and a bit gin drink
Go soak your head in the bright red sink
Let's not dance (4x)
See the poor girl starting to cry
Just got hit with an elbow in the eye
Contact lens fell on the floor
She's not in the mood to dance anymore
Let's not dance (4x)
See the guy with lead in his toes
Stepped on my foot, that's the way it goes
Now I'm hurt, and I'm feeling bad
Maybe a line would make me feel glad
Let's not dance (4x)
Let's not dance, get me out of here
Go buy yourself an American beer
You think you're great, how could I resist
But you're a jerk, that gets me pissed.
Let's not dance (4x)
