(Cover Plus) We're All Grown Up
(© Hazel O'Connor)

Ah come on
Let's go

Let's all play mums and dads, come on
Where do babies come from, mum?
Shut up you naughty boy
And put your clothes back on

(Chorus)
Mucky pup, cover up
Strip it down, cover round
Dirty muck, cover up
Look at us we got cover plus
'Cos we're all grown up, we're all grown up

Peel off black nylon in the red light
Silly old men leer through their gun sights
Naughty girl turn round
I'll show you what's right

(Chorus)

Dirty muck, cover up
Strip it down cover round

Dirty muck, cover up
Strip it down cover round

Dirty muck, cover up
Strip it down cover round

Mucky pup cover up
Look at us got cover plus, look at us got cover plus
We're all grown up, we're all grown up

Why don't you go and fix your face, up good
Why not buy some paint and hide your wood worm good
But let the children play the way they feel and should

Dirty muck, cover up
Strip it down, cover round
Mucky pup, cover up
Look at us got cover plus

Dirty muck, cover up
Look at us we got cover plus
'Cos we're all grown up, all grown up

All grown up (Repeat to Fade)

Hanging Around
(© The Stranglers)

Big girl in the red dress
She's just trying to impress us
And she's got the barley fever
But she doesn't make a sound
She's just hanging around
She's just hanging around

Down the court road early
With the Hustlers big and burly
There's a million of 'em selling
And the buyers can be found
They're just hanging around
They're just hanging around

(Chorus)
Christ he told his mother
Christ he told her not to bother
Cos he's alright in the city
He's high above the ground
He's just hanging around (hanging around)
He's just hanging around (hanging around)
He's just hanging around (hanging around)
He's just hanging around (hanging around)

One of 'em comes over
Got a monkey on his shoulder
And the monkey's getting grinner
But his eyes are on the ground
They're just hanging around
They're just hanging around

I'm moving to a coleheme
With the leather all around me
And the sweat is getting steamy
But their eyes are on the ground
They're just hanging around
They're just hanging around

(Chorus 2x)

He's just hanging around (hanging around)
He's just hanging around

Ee-I-Addio
(© Hazel O'Connor)

Red ringed the eyes of the women who cried to the night
Black and possessed are the eyes of the man who drank to no foresight
Then suffer little children, a haunted dream
Bright eyes, scared eyes, a silent scream
Now why'd you make me hit you - he'd say
Leave me alone I hate you - she'd say
Suffer little children, hear and have no say

(Chorus)
A leopard can't change his spots
A tiger can't change his stripes
Ee-I-Addio
Mum and Dad still have their frights

This woman she takes a couple of pills to hide
When there's no place to run you'd better just shut the door inside
Well, riddle me when is a home not a home
When you're twenty floors up and your love has gone
Your love was spent on fairy soap
For hands that do dishes and hang your hopes
On children who in turn look back to you

(Chorus)

Riddle me when is a home not a home
When you're twenty floors up and your love has gone
Your love was spent on fairy soap
For hands that do dishes and hang your hopes
On children who in turn look back to you

[Repeat Chorus to Fade]

Not For You
(© Hazel O'Connor)

Don't promise you'll never leave me
Cos, that would be a lie
We don't perceive the change of time
Tomorrow's the throw of the dice
Believe me I have tried for you
As much as I could

But I wouldn't (couldn't) I wouldn't (I wouldn't)
I couldn't (couldn't) I wouldn't (I wouldn't)
I couldn't give up my freedom
Not for you, or for anyone else (for you)

I guess I've lived alone too long
To make this compromise
I know that this is hurting you
I've seen that look in your eyes
Oh, write me off as just another one
Who couldn't live up to your ideals

Cos I couldn't (couldn't) I wouldn't (I wouldn't)
I couldn't (couldn't) I wouldn't (I wouldn't)
I couldn't give up my freedom
Not for you, or for anyone else (for you)

So take a walk - (talk talk talk)
So take a walk - (talk talk talk)
So take a walk - (talk talk talk)
To take a walk - blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

Don't promise you'll never leave me
Cos, that would be a gross lie
We don't perceive the change of time
Tomorrow's the throw of the dice
Oh write me off as just another one
Who couldn't live up to your ideals

Cos I wouldn't (couldn't) I wouldn't (I wouldn't)
I couldn't (couldn't) I wouldn't (I wouldn't)
I couldn't give up my freedom
Not for you (not for you)
I couldn't give up my freedom
Not for you, (or for anyone else)
I couldn't give up my freedom
Not for you

Hold On
(© Hazel O'Connor)

Hello old friend long time no see
Except the sea between you and me
And that's physical and that's impenetrable

Left you laughing at the dreams that I told you
Now I'm laughing at the dreams that they sold me
It's such a shame, you had to join their nasty game

(Chorus)
You didn't hold on
You didn't hold on
You didn't hold on
To a dream
Ain't it obscene

The silence in your room is getting me down
The thickly atmosphere descends upon the clown
Who laughs no more, he broke the golden law

(Chorus)
He didn't hold on
He didn't hold on
He didn't hold on
To the dream,
Ain't it obscene

The way they shake you, try to wake you
Be a man now, be a woman now
Try to shake you up, try to wake you up
Be a grown up, be a sour puss

Never mind my love, I'll leave this for you
Don't bother calling me, maybe I'll call you, so
Stay on the scene
And I'll stay chasing my dreams

(Chorus)
You didn't hold on
You didn't hold on
You didn't hold on
To a dream
Ain't it obscene

(Chorus)
He didn't hold on
He didn't hold on
He didn't hold on
To the dream,
Ain't it obscene

So You're Born
(© Hazel O'Connor)

So you're born, so you're torn
From a place that's safe and warm
I took a journey to see a world
And you're born
And you're torn

So you're pulled from pillar to post
And you're told it's best to be the one who knows the most
Yet the more I know, I know nothing
Nothing at all
Yeh, you're born

I met a man, who sung a song
And the know-it-intellects said each note was wrong
It made me happy, that's enough
So why did they give that man a rough time

Born
Torn

I have no memory for what I do
It's just a feeling, that I give to you
Yeh, the more I know, I know nothing
Nothing at all
Yeh, and you're born

I met a man who sailed to sea
Told me everything in this world is free
He said faith, mark you, is all you need
To believe is also to bleed

You're born
Yeh and you're torn
So you're born
And you're born, and you're torn
And you're born, and you're torn

So you're born, so you're torn
From a place that's safe and warm
Took a journey to see a world
So you're born

Dawn Chorus
(© Hazel O'Connor)

Here I sit so silently, I wait by your opening door
May flit, may fly, may not understand why
I fear, when I hear you are near me

But did they listen, listen to you today dawn
Dawn, dawn chorus
But did they listen, listen to you today dawn
I hear you, and feel you, not yet born
I hear you, and fear you, not yet born

I take to the sky, where the angels fear to fly
Air traffic control has just gone mad
And your song reminds him, it makes him feel so sad of those
Hot balmy nights he never had

But did they listen, listen to you today dawn
Dawn, dawn chorus
But did they listen, listen to you today dawn
I hear you, and feel you, not yet born
I hear you, and fear you, not yet born

Animal Farm (We Will Be Happy?)
(© Hazel O'Connor)

The cock it crowed ''It's morning'' the donkey said ''Ee-aw''
The pigs they grunted expectantly for the farmer to open the door
The chickens started clucking, they could not lay no eggs
They were just plain frightened,
Remembering what the pigs had said ''just do as you're told''
Remembering what the pigs had said
And they all sang

(Chorus)
We will be happy, we will be free,
We're going to make it, make equality
Hap-happy are we

Now the pig said ''This is our day
We're gonna chase the farmer away
Now everyone must do their work like before
Except for me and I must think for you behind this door''

So they chased the farmer away,
And the pig got on his soap box to say
''And don't you worry don't you make no fuss
All you have to do is follow us
And do as you're told
All you have to do is follow us''
And they all sang

(Chorus)

Hap-happy are we, hap-happy are we, we're so holy

The cock it crowed ''It's morning''
The donkey said ''Ee-aw''
The chickens clucked expectant
For the pig to open the door

(Chorus)

Hap-happy are we, hap-happy are we, we're so holy
Hap-happy are we, hap-happy are we, hap-happy are we, we're so holy

Runaway
(© Hazel O'Connor)

You hate yourself, so you hate everybody else
People can make you feel small
Small is a size when age just won't rise fast enough
So you wait for the day, to be up get away
Run run as fast as you can
Over and Over and Over the hill far away

(Chorus)
Runaway
Is there something you're trying to say
Runaway
Please come home one day
Runaway
Is there something you're trying to say
Over and over and over and over again

I remember the day in a grey misty way
When we boarded the boat to the Hooke
I was sick to the sea that was beckoning me to it's end
In the light of the dawn, feeling ragged and worn
I pointed my thumb to the sky
Over and over and over that road again

(Chorus)

Now in the light of experience
There's something I want to say
Now in the light of experience
There's nowhere to run to
If from yourself you're really running away

(Chorus 2x)

Runaway!

Do What You Gotta Do
(© Jimmy Webb)

Boy, I understand how it might be
Kind of hard to love a girl like me
I don't blame you much for wanting to be free
I just wanted you to know
I've loved you better than your own kin did
From the very start
It's my own fault what happens to my heart
See I've always known you'd go

(Chorus)
So you just do what you gotta do
My wild sweet love
Though it may mean that I'll never kiss those sweet lips again
Pay that no mind just chase that dappled dream of yours
And come on back and see me when you can

Now I know they make you feel so sad
Oh, it makes me feel so bad
Say you don't treat me like you should
They got ways to make you feel no good
I guess they got no way to know
Had my eyes wide open from the start
And boy, the part you've shown to me
Is the part of you they'll never see
It's the part you've shown to me

(Chorus)

Just chase that dappled dream of yours
And come on back and see me when you can
Just chase that dappled dream of yours
And come on back and see me when you can

Men Of Good Fortune
(© Lou Reed)

Men of good fortune
Often cause empires to fall
While men of poor beginnings
Often can't do anything at all
The rich son waits for his father to die
While the poor just sit there and cry
And me ... ah ...
I just don't care at all

Men of good fortune
Very often can't do a thing
While men of poor beginnings
Often can't do anything
At heart they try to act like a man
Handle things the best way they can
They have no rich daddy to fall back on

Men of good fortune
Men of poor beginnings
Men of good fortune
Men of poor beginnings

Men of good fortune
Often cause empires to fall
While men of poor beginnings
Often can't do anything at all
It takes money to make money they say
But look at the Fords, hey didn't they start that way
Anyway ... ha ...
It makes no difference to me

Men of good fortune
Men of poor beginnings (Repeat to Fade)

That's Life
(© Hazel O'Connor)

Sometimes I find it so hard to understand
We had some laughs together
Together we tried to change hand in hand
But now it's come to this, for now goodbye
And I must love you and leave you
And you must love me and leave me
And I must love you and leave you
But if ...

(Chorus)
If I had another chance
I would have the same romance
With life and you
The lands we travelled through
If I had my time again
I'd change it not another way
With you and life
The happiness and the knife
That's life life
That's life life
That's life life life life

A penny for your thoughts right now
Hey, I think I know
It's sad but I'll not let you see
One single tear when it's time for you to go
Hey we can say our goodbyes with a smile
And I must love you and leave you
And you must love me and leave me
And I must love you and leave you
But if ...

(Chorus)
