1. X-OFFENDER

I saw you standing on the corner, you looked so big and fine.
I really wanted to go out with you, so when you smiled,
I laid my heart on the line
You read me my rights and then you said "let's go" and nothing more
I thought of my nights, and how they were
They were filled with

I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in
I had to know so I asked
You just had to laugh

We sat in the night with my hands cuffed at my side
I look at your life and your style
I wanted nothing more
I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in
I had to know so I asked
You just had to laugh

Walking the line, you were a marksman
Told me that law, like wine, is ageless
Public defender
You had to admit
You wanted the love of a sex offender

I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in
I had to know so I asked
You just had to laugh

My vision in blue, I call you from inside my cell
And in the trial, you were there
With your badge and rubber boots

I think all the time how I'm going to perpetrate love with you
And when I get out, there's no doubt I'll be sex offensive to you


2. LITTLE GIRL LIES

She loves you right now, so don't close your eyes
She'll be talking and laughing with six other guys
Flirtatious and cute, she'll take you the route
Telling little girl lies
He loves her so much, he don't want to lose her
And there's no other girl he likes to ball better
But he's busy tonight, "we'll make it tomorrow"
He's telling his little girl lies

That's how the little girl lies
He's telling his little girl lies
Those little girl lies gonna catch up to you
And you'll be sorry

Making excuses why she can't meet you later
She's not really ill, someone else got to date her
Mixed up and confused, it'll catch up to you
Telling little girl lies

They tell the little girl lies
He's telling his little girl lies
That's how your little girl lies
She's been telling you little girl lies
That's how his little girl lies
She been telling him little girl lies
Those little girl lies gonna catch up to you and you'll be sorry


3. IN THE FLESH

Darling darling darling
I can't wait to see you
Your picture ain't enough
I can't wait to touch you in the flesh
Darling darling darling
I can't wait to hear you
Remembering your love
Is nothing without you in the flesh

Went walking one day on the lower East side
Met you with a girlfriend, you were so divine
She said: "hands off this one sweetie, this boy is mine"
I couldn't resist you, I'm not deaf, dumb and blind

Darling darling darling
Now you're out of town
Those girls that you run with
They bring my head down
Oh Darling, darling
Watch out if I see you
'Cause if you say hello
It'll mean you want to see me in the flesh

Oh warm and soft, in the flesh
Oh close and hot, in the flesh


4. LOOK GOOD IN BLUE

You look good in blue
It matches your skin, your eyes dripping with pain
Someone like you
Getting off on the lies 'cause it dulls your surprise again
If it's alright with you
I could give you some head and shoulders to lie on
You look good in blue
I know what you mean when you say you've seen the end
Someone like you
Been at it again, you knew what was up in the end
If it's alright with you
I could give you some head and shoulders to lie on

Throw your weight on me baby
Don't complain on me baby
Escape in me, next to me
I'm tired, always tired and I got not place to sleep
Don't mind dividing down the line
Can't say that I'm complaining 'cause I got no place to play, yeah
Don't mind dividing down the line

You look good in blue
It matches your skin, your eyes dripping with pain
If it's alright with you
I could give you some head and shoulders to lie on
Yes, I could give you some head and shoulders to lie on


5. IN THE SUN

Surf's up
In the sun, I'm waiting for the day
Having fun, in warm far away
Moonlight nights, water seems so clear
Oh city lights while I'm still waiting here

In the sun, it's for everyone
In the sun, were gonna have some fun
In the sun, were gonna shoot the tube
I'll do it for you, my paka lola luau love

New York isle is covered by grey
Concrete piles, blues play my way
Tropic haze, pineapple sky
Perfect wave, hurricane eye

In the sun, it's for everyone
In the sun, were gonna have some fun
In the sun, were gonna shoot the tube
I'll do it for you, my paka lola luau love

In the sun, it's for everyone
In the sun, were gonna have some fun
In the sun, were gonna shoot the tube
I'll do it for you, my paka lola luau love

Where is my wave
Where is my wave


6. A SHARK IN JETS CLOTHING

I always had my eyes on you but you came from across the line
I had to make good time to see you but you had to pay the fine
All the boys on my side knew that you were the shark
If you were found on the borderline you'd be shot in the dark

Don't wear those clothes again, they don't make it in this crowd
Don't go out D.T.K., you'll wear your best suit in the ground

We're meeting in a neutral zone: the last car on the train
The love you brought shaking up my bones and crawling through our veins
We always met at the edge of a blade and we left at the end of the fight
Of all the girls you've played and you laid why did this one have to be white
They're gonna get you at 12 o'clock high, got their sights set low on you
You better believe me, I wouldn't lie. We better quit before you're through

They're gonna get you at 12 o'clock high, got their sights set low on you
You better believe me, I wouldn't lie
We better quit before you're through


7. MAN OVERBOARD

Man overboard, sinking in a sea of love
Man overboard, he jumped, didn't need a shove
Oh, I've been sailing the sea of love, experiencing romance
With what I know, with what I know, he never stood a chance
He gave it all for love
He gave it all for love

Said, lower the boats, he's sinking in a sea of love
Lower the boats, he's sinking in a sea of love
Yeah, I've been sailing the sea of love, experiencing romance
With what I know, with what I know, he never stood a chance

No! Man overboard
Man overboard
Man overboard
Man overboard
Throw him a line
Man overboard

He gave it all for love
He gave it all for love
He gave it, he gave it all for love
Man overboard


8. RIP HER TO SHREDS

Here she comes now
Oh, you know her, would you look at that hair
Yeah, you know her, check out those shoes
She looks like she stepped out of the middle of somebody's blues

She looks like the Sunday comics
She thinks she's Brenda Starr
Her nose job is real atomic
All she needs is an old knife scar

Yeah, she's so dull, come on rip her to shreds
She's so dull, come on rip her to shreds

Oh, you know her, "Miss Groupie Supreme"
Yeah, you know her, "Vera Vogue" on parade
Red eye shadow! Green mascara!
Yuck! She's too much

She looks like she don't know better
A case of partial extreme
Dressed in a Robert Hall sweater
Acting like a soap opera queen

Yeah, she's so dull, come on rip her to shreds
She's so dull, come on rip her to shreds

She got the nerve to tell me she's not on it
But her expression is too serene
Yeah, she looks like she washes with Comet
Always looking to create a scene

Yeah, she's so dull, come on rip her to shreds
She's so dull, come on rip her to shreds
She's so dull. Rip her to shreds

Oh, you know her, "Miss Groupie Supreme"
Yeah, you know her, "Vera Vogue" on parade
Yeah, you know her, with the fish-eating grin
She's so dull

Yeah, she got the nerve to tell me
Huh, she's so dull
Yeah, there she goes now
She making out with King Kong
She take her boat to Hong Kong
Well, bye bye sugar
And not a minute too soon


9. RIFLE RANGE

I was all alone with the scent of a bone
And my heart was stuck in this emptiness zone
I had not a care, though I wanted to hear
The voice of a maiden who was playing down there
At the rifle range, I lost my heart
At the rifle range, I could not start
At the rifle range, she left me so hot
At the rifle range

Like a victim of truce I was strung on a noose
Cracking at the news of a prey let loose
I turned around to stare at the face she would wear
And I ran through the gallows, her heart was down there

At the rifle range, I lost my heart
At the rifle range, I could not start
At the rifle range, I heard a shot
At the rifle range

If I lose my head, we'll be certainly dead
With visions of acid, how I wish they bled
The drumming of fear cause they're getting so near
And I think of a lion who was devoured down there

At the rifle range, I lost my heart
At the rifle range, I could not start
At the rifle range, I heard a shot
At the rifle range, she left me so hot
At the rifle range

Bang bang! At the rifle range
Bang bang! At the rifle range


10. KUNG FU GIRLS

Down in Chinatown, the year of the cock
He sold the silver belt, put it in hock
Fistful of money, mouth full of gold
Soon to be free of all armful of holes

She was a kung fu girl, kung fu girl

He got the address symbolised in Cantonese
Then asked a native: "some assistance, please"
She took him to the secret door, he was kissing the floor
Don't know much more

She was a kung fu girl, kung fu girl
Heng lu Cindy Sue
Difo difong hacking

In a flash of recollection of oriental pride
She threw him to the side
Got the address, gave the door a knock
What happened next caused quite a shock
She was standing, looking out the door
He was kicked to the floor
Don't know much more

She was a kung fu girl, kung fu girl
Kung fu
Cindy Sue
Oh, I wanna get close to you

You're my kung fu girl
You're my kung fu girl
Oh my oriental pearl
Kung fu
Cindy Sue
Oh, I wanna get close to you
You're my kung fu girl
You're my kung fu girl, get down


11. THE ATTACK OF THE GIANT ANTS

Giant ants from space snuff the human race
Then they eat your face, never leave a trace

They shoot fire all around
Tokyo burns down
Everybody drowns. The moon falls on the ground

They can't be stopped at all
The buildings start to fall
Soldiers shoot all day and then they run away

The world is holocaust
Everything is lost
Mankind is destroyed
Sprinkled in the void

Giant ants from space waste the human race
Then they eat your face, never leave a trace

12. OUT IN THE STREETS (ORIGINAL INSTANT RECORDS DEMO)

He don't hang around with the gang no more.
He don't do the wild things that he did before.

(Ooh)
He used to act bad.
Used to, but he quit it.
It makes me so sad, 'cause I know that he did it for me (And I can see)
And I can see (still in the street) his heart, his heart is out in the street.

He don't comb his hair like he did before.
He don't wear those dirty old black boots no more.

(Ooh)
But he's not the same.
There's something 'bout his kisses... that tells me he's changed.
I know there's something missing inside.
(Tell me more)
Something died.
(Still in the street)
His heart, his heart is out in the streets.

He grew up on the sidewalk, streetlights shining above.
He grew up with no one to love.

He grew up on the sidewalk, he grew up running free.
He grew up and then he met me.

He don't hang around with the gang no more.
Gee, he doesn't smile like he did before.

(Ooh)
I wish I didn't care.
I wish I'd never met him.

They're waiting out there, so I got to set him free.
(Send him back)
He's gotta be...
(Out in the street)
His heart, his heart is out in the street.

He don't hang around with the gang no more.
(He's out in the street)
He don't hang around with the gang no more.
He don't hang around with the gang no more.
(He's out in the street)
He don't hang around with the gang no more.
He don't hang around with the gang no more.
(He's out in the street)
He don't hang around with the gang no more.
He don't hang around with the gang no more.
(He's out in the street)
He don't hang around with the gang no more.


13. THE THIN LINE (ORIGINAL INSTANT RECORDS DEMO)

Ah you hate me, yeah you hate me
You think I don't see murder in your eye when you're looking at me
Then you love me, yeah you love me
You don't wanna be noticeably enamoured of me

So Bon Voyage sweet-face, keep looking for the hole-in-one
Take a look at what you've done
Be a man in a silver trenchcoat
I'm feeling crazy, can you get me a gun?
Oh

I hate you, I hate you
You think I don't see your unlimited insecurity
I love you, yeah I love you
'Cause you know me by what I let you, by what I let you see

I love you, I love you
'Cause you know me by what I let you, by what I let you see


14. PLATINUM BLONDE (ORIGINAL INSTANT RECORDS DEMO)

I wanna be a platinum blonde
Just like all the sexy stars
Marilyn and Jeane, Jayne, Mae and Marlene
Yeah they, they really had fun
In a luminous day-glo shade
Walk into a bar and I'll have it made
'Cause if that's all it takes; a double processed blonde
I wanna be a platinum blonde
I wanna be a platinum blonde
Be a platinum blonde

Yeah I even tried wearing a wig for a while
It was the right colour, but not the right style
Gonna get some peroxide at the beauty supply
See ya later

I wanna be a platinum blonde
Just like all the sexy stars
Marilyn and Jeane, Jayne, Mae and Marlene
Yeah they, they really had fun

Now if you need me on Sunday and you look twice and see
That platinum blonde is gonna be me
In a double processed luminous day-glo shade
When I get this colour I'll have it made in the shade
Oh, I hope I'm OK
I wanna be a platinum blonde
I wanna be a platinum blonde

Honey, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta
I gotta be a platinum blonde
I gotta be a platinum blonde
I gotta be a platinum blonde
I'll hit the bottle baby
