@ALBUM: drifting.towards.violence PATRIK FITZGERALD - SAFETY PIN STUCK IN MY HEART ================================================ 1978 Small Wonder. All lyrics by Patrik ================================================ BANGING AND SHOUTING @SONG: (for someone I used to live with) Ah I remember the time Banging and shouting Like a kid gone wrong 'Course it was all your fault But I'm better now 'Blam!' that's where I kicked Her in the head That is. Ah I remember the time Banging and shouting Banging and shouting That's all I knew But I'm better now I only take it out on Housewives now I do. Banging and shouting Banging and shouting That's all I've known Since I've known you Two mental cases together Imagine it What a life - eh? Ah I remember the time Banging and shouting Like a kid gone wrong 'Course - it was all your fault But I'm better now 'Blam!' that's where I kicked Her in the head That is. Bamging and shouting Banging and shouting That's all i've known Since I've known you... SAFETY PIN STUCK IN MY HEART @SONG: (a love song for punk music) I don't love you for your graveyard eyes I don't love you for your shaven thighs I just love you for that Beat-beat-beat-beat-beating I don't love you for your tattered tie I don't love you, and I don't know why I just love you for that Beat-beat-beat-beat-beating I've got a safety pin stuck in my heart For you, for you I don't love you for your professed hate I don't love you for your cards of fate I just love you for that Beat-beat-beat-beat-beating I don't love you for your painted shoes I don't love you for your friends you never choose I just love you for that Beat-beat-beat-beat-beating I've got a safety pin stuck in my heart For you, for you I don't love you for your many reasons Propagandas, doctrines, treasons All I know's that Beat-beat-beat-beat-beating I've got an ear inflamed on my dog chain Painted faces, painted names - My shirt - it's all that Beat-beat-beat-beat-beating I've got a safety pin stuck in my heart For you, for you WORK.REST.PLAY.REGGAE @SONG: (ready to shake the scheme of things?) The black & white racial disharmony Is just a cover story Conducted to hide the fact That working class people Are still being kicked All over the place WORK is nothing but a diversion Something you are supposed to do According to the rules Made up by who? A long, long tome ago A slow death tailored to suit you And it's all being designed to say: "Let's keep another of the fuckers down" REST, that is sleep, You can have plenty of 'Cos while you are asleep, you are peaceful And don't give the authorities Any trouble Twelve hours a night, seven days a week No problem And it's all being designed to say: "Let's keep another of the fuckers down" PLAY - what paly? Can't afford the boat show or a yacht All the cinemas are gone now The few that we had So tell me - what we got left Except reggae - and dancing And it's all been designed to say: "Let's keep another of the fuckers down" SET WE FREE @SONG: (white boy reggae) We're used, abused Kiss your pretty feet at every command Used, misused Talk to each other but we don't understand Losing time and patience and respect And everything else 'Cos you are the boss Of your everyday slaves and we're tired and we're hungry So set we free, set we free Set we free, set we free You're the boss of the office You're the boss of the shop You're the boss of the factory You're the man with the cars You're the man with the houses You're the man with the family We've seen your ugly face day after day Staring from a limousine We've heard your ugly voice, time after time Saying to be good, to be nice, to be clean And we're used, abused Washing up your dirties and making excuses Losing time And patience and respect and everything else 'Cos you are the boss of your everyday slaves And we're tired and we're hungry So set we free, set we free Set we free. set we free We're used, abused Kiss your pretty feet at your every command Used, misused Talk to each other but we don't understand Losing time and patience and respect And everything else 'Cos you are the boss We are the slaves And we're tired and we're hungry So set we free. OPTIMISM/REJECT @SONG: (dance music) Hello - I'm a reject Does one arm hang down longer? Hello - i'm a reject And I can't think of no more Words for songs, just: We're gonna dance, Despite our ageing limbs Gonna sing, despite the pessimism And we're not gonna worry If we're old or new, just: Hello - i'm a reject Does it look as though I have 3 eyes to you? Hello - I'm a reject Stamped across my ...... Hello - I'm a reject Like a slice of scando bacon Hello - I'm a reject Like a pig to the slaughter Don't know don't care, just: We're gonna dance, Despite our ageing limbs Gonna sing, despite the pessimism And we're not gonna worry If we're old and new, just: Hello - I'm a reject-t-t-t-t-t-t Me got no brain Me subject myself to you and All your philosophising Me got no brain - follow me, Follow me...
