RW Rudebox Album Lyrics
ok then back to basics grab your shell toes and your fat laces
a little hand clap for some funk faces and make your body move in the following
places
goes up your back and then down your spine and when it hits your head:
ok then back to baseheads dance like you just won at the special olympics
i got the rudebox of the back of a spaceship, so sick i just had to take it
the r.u.d.e.b.o.x. up yer jacksy, split yer kecks sing a song of semtex,
pocket full of durex body full of mandrex.
are we gonna have sex (yes) will you wear your knee socks (ohh) back to the
rudebox
ok then check the tan line, make your body shape like you're stood on a landmine
call me on my mobile not the landline and the jack the mainline at the same time
ok this is what we do, got a jam so fresh its nice for you
ok give it what you got and dial 808 for the bass to drop
ok then whats the fracas grab your cardy your lead hat and your bus pass
you don't sweat much for a fat lass grab your rudebox cos your box is righteous
"lovelight"
what am i supposed to do
to keep from going under
now your making holes in my heart and yes it's starting to show
i've been holding back
is it any wonder?
since you walked right into my life and interrupted the flow
[chorus]
i wanna know
baby when you're with me
who do you think you're foolin'?
making me feel so sure
turnin' your lovelight down again
why don't you let me be
you don't know what you're doin'
making me feel so sure
and turnin' your lovelight down again
[chorus]
i wanna know
baby when you're with me
who do you think you're foolin'?
making me feel so sure
turnin' your lovelight down again
why don't you let me be
you don't know what you're doin'
making me feel so sure
and turnin' your lovelight down again
do it again, do it again
do it again, do it again
[chorus]
so i play my boogie
for the people of big city
but they don't go crazy
when i'm bangin' in my boogie
i'm the "king of the bongo, king of the bongo bong"
hear me when i come
king of the bongo, king of the bongo bong
they say that i'm a clown
making too much dirty sound
they say there is no place for little monkey in this town
nobody'd like to be in my place instead of me
cause nobody go crazy when i'm bangin' on my boogie
i'm the king of the bongo, king of the bongo bong

"good doctor"

[1st verse]
i went to the dr to get a prescription
i told him little fact and lots of fiction
about a bad back that i ain't got
he tried to sell me faith healing
but i think not

so i can drop em'
i've got all these demons
and i can't stop em'

the glory days are gone and we've all stopped havin' it

the world carries on spinning we're mad in it

"the actor"
[verse one:]
first you can't act, now you can't stop,
(what's my motivation?)
i used to like you... a lot,
(i was the class nerd)
exactly who i'm s'posed to be,
(i'm totally strasberg)
you play a doctor on tv,
(what you're doing is so brave)
[verse two:]
deep down you're dirty but you try,
(i'm a good person)
the truth would break you so you lie,
(i want my work to matter)
it's in the choices that you make,
(i want to inspire)
no talent, just fate.
[chorus:]
i don't know where you begin,
i end, we start
again,
they need, you love,
we all watch
the actor acting.
[verse three:]
good from far but far from good,
(all i have is my instinct)
you love to act, i wish you would,
(it's not acting, it's re-acting)
act like you're not from out of space,
(when i'm on stage i feel alive)
you know ambition isn't grace,
(for me it's the craft)
[verse four:]
made of sex, maida vale,
(would i do better in new york)
you are the alpha male,
(i'm just too pretty for that role)
you are the good, you are the great,
(the words have power)
now let me fill you with my hate.
[chorus]

[chorus]
[outro speech:]
in the future,
everybody will be anonymous for fifteen minutes,
you are, we all are a test card,
the stars of cctv,
we are the nature of the beast.
size of which is paradoxic the only way you're gonna stop this
in the vessel there's a switch in the middle
you really shouldn't fiddle cause its toxic
listen up 'cos it's a red light
and the pressure's blowing up tight
there's a skism in the time mechanism
there's a skism in the time mekanism
never touch that switch
even if you want to
you don't know what it can do.
never touch that switch, even if you want to.
you don't know what it can do.
you know you're heading for a meltdown, and you're living in a tin town
thinking that you're gonna be somebody, living in the land of milk and honey
listen up 'cos it's a red light, and the futures blowing up tight
there's a skism in the time mechanism, there's a skism in the time mekanism
never touch that switch, even if you want to. you don't know what it can do.
never touch that switch, even if you want to. you don't know what it can do.
never touch that switch, even if you want to. you don't know what it can do.
never touch that switch, even if you want to. you don't know what it can do.
"louise"
"hello, louise,
remember me?
now should we part
or stay awhile?
as if we were still lovers"
she took a moment just to recognise the man she'd known so well before
and as he started to apologise
lose any bitterness she bore
she gently put her finger on his lips
to let him know she understood
and with her suitcase standing on the floor
embraced him like a lover would
he told louise
"you look so good
it's just you see
you make me feel
as if we were still lovers"
and so louise
waved from the bus
and as she left
she gave that smile
as if they were still lovers
suburbia's a slipstream
to a memory
of a time when you were
close to me
i pretend
i'm there again
i close my eyes and see you
better than before
then i feel you touch me
and it's 1984
i know what you will say
before you start
in my heart
rent
shopping
being boring
it's alright
it's a sin
i'm not scared
in denial
i want a dog
i want a lover
can you forgive her?
do i have to?
what have i? what have i?
what have i done to deserve this?
"burslem normals"
"kiss me"
"the 80's"
and who are you calling poof? you like wham, man, i hate that stuff
and then my grandad died and left a hole in the family and lots of women had to
nanny me
school was a laugh, they didn't have add, thick was the term they used for me
(over and over)
repeatedly
(over and over)
that girl in the fourth year, got pregnant and she was raised catholic, brilliant!
i cried, she cried, we cried, our youth died
drank cider in the cemetery
the year above us had discovered e and i said it weren't for me
?12.50? i could rob me mum's purse and buy one up torquay
met a girl on monday, drank fizzy pop on tuesday
fingered her on wednesday and on thursday and friday and on saturday
dumped by sunday
like i said, i lost my virginity to a girl called anne-marie, well she said she
fancied me
and then she said "fuck me" and i thought 'fuck me, i'm all talk and it'll be over
too quickly'
and it was but i couldn't care less, i'd seen a girl's bra and made a mess on her
dress, oh yes!
you're now rocking with the best, second person in my year that had seen a breast
i'm in my 30s now and i'm still impressed
where are the falklands mum? and what have they done?
where do girls come from? where do girls come from? where do girls come from?
"the 90's"
picking up the story from where i left off, it's 1990 now so school can fuck off
i got no gcses, nothing higher than a d,
i couldn't tell me mum because she'd batter me
me and ?? sat on the bowling green, life is a shitter
we had five quid between us, bought us six cans of bitter
i took me ten benson home and i smoked through the sorrow
if i could just avoid me mum maybe i'll tell her tomorrow
i stumbled through the door and said "mum, it's like this."
she said "that man's been on the phone and you've made the list!
you're in that boy band, son, come and giz a kiss!"
phoned up martin and rich and carried on getting pissed
"boys i don't believe it, i'm gonna be famous!
pick you up in a porsche and buy you lots of trainers."
i met the other guys, one seemed like a cock
i think it's gonna be like new kids on the block
[chorus:]
i cant be bothered, cause i'm lazy
i hate those that hate me
i cant forgive and it's crazy, baby
now i'm a video star
do you know who you are, baby?
[chorus]
[chorus]
and now it's breaking my heart because the dream's turned to shit
it ain't broke but i'll break it in a little bit
and i'm always in trouble but i've stopped saying sorry
everybody's worried "what the fuck's wrong with robbie?
he's not answering his phone, he's not talking to me
i saw him on the telly at glastonbury."
and now i'm running away from everything that i've been
and i'm pissed and i'm fucked and i'm only nineteen
i can't perform no more, i can't perform no more
but the boys know i'm fucked and so they show me the door
and if truth be told i wasn't fit enough to stay
so i put me head down and walked away.
[chorus]
"summertime"
in the summertime
where the weather is hot
in the summertime
where the weather is hot
on my mind, on my mind
in the summertime
where the weather is hot
in the summertime
summertime
when the weather is hot
in the summertime
on my mind
[1st verse]
[chorus]
[2nd verse]
[3rd verse]
[chorus 3]
