Beer Goggle Eyes 02:01
lyrics

Beer Goggle Eyes This place is normally full of mingers but tonight there looking quite alright I'm sunken with pride as beer fills up my eyes falling off my chair but that's no surprise The future is looking bright now I'm wearing beer goggle eyes The girls are looking fitter as i drink more bitter I've met a lassie and she thinks I'm alright She's taken back by my red blood shot eyes, works for the Army she's a bit of a dyke A proper minger but I think I'm gonna take her home! Yeah I might as well take her home And now I'm on the dance floor I'm really drunk but I think that I rock but the truth of the matter is I'm looking like a cock and all the lads in here wanna smack me in the gob So I stagger about learing out and been very quite rude I'm knocking over tables spilling all the drinks I better get out of here before I get battered I stagger about cause I'm totally twatted I fall on to the street and the coppers arrest me I wake up in the cells and they ask me what I did but I can't remember so it must have been a good night then Yeah it must of been a good night then Oh it must of been a good night then The future's always bright when I'm wearing beer goggle eyes

Chinese Whispers 03:30
lyrics

Chinese Whispers It's so hard to forget and yet so easy to remember Because everyone seems to tell you what you did the night before I was a little bit drunk alright I was pissed and maybe there was some things that I did I probably gave someone some lip or start a fight or two It's all over this town because the word it gets around I was told you were burning bridges smashing bottles bus stop windows Kicking cans around town having a riot being quite violent You were seen giving grief to tramps, Wham boys trackie bottom towny chavs Throwing all the punches giving them digs flicking v's at the pigs You were caught robbing things from shops . getting done having fights with the cops walking out of the cells in the morning don't lie because somebody saw you I got told by a mate of a mate who was told by his best mates sisters daughters boyfriends aunt who talked to a tramp who got it of some down and out One of them knows your brother in law who told his dad who told me the score That my mates best mates sisters daughter saw everything you did It's all over this town because the word it gets around The word it gets around You are known for sleeping about selling sex getting them out Your the local bike so they tell me, ten pounds and your going for glory You were wired you were off your cake. Lying in the street chewing your face You were anyone's you were free that day. Because somebody told me

Fisty Cuffs 03:14

Fisty Cuffs There’s going to be some trouble tonight, it’s on the cards something's not right as two lads lare it out across the pub Everybody's got one eye on its all but pretend they don't know what's going on Hoping it gets resolved peacefully But then some harsh words are spoken pint glasses are broken a lad come storming over with his chest stuck out The pushing and shoving it begins round 1 the bell rings as they roll up sleeves put up there guard and the fisticuffs come out That lad he's acting like a dick That lad he's gonna get hit That lad has had far too much to drink He was standing at the bar minding his own business, didn't really want to get involved in it but he knows there’s going to be a fight tonight As he dives in blood rushes to his head Doesn't really care now he sees red, then he says boy you should have stayed at home tonight Suddenly the silence is broken as tables and chairs are all flung over Punches are thrown and a man gos down and hits the deck And all his mates come charging in there's a right old ruckus going on but there ain't no referee at this title bout As he emerges from beneath the pile he crawls to safety without a smile hides under a table and looks around at what he's done The local police come mincing in, making arrests telling them their sins Asking around who was the cause but he slips out the back door How come it ends up like this How come it ends up in fists How come they just can't talk about it He was crawling in the dark. tending to his black eyes his broken bones his bloody nose he should have known there was going to be a fight tonight And when he gets home sitting in the kitchen Wiping his cuts and bruises his mother says son you should have stayed at home tonight

Gritty Britain 03:21
lyrics

Gritty Britain Give that man a wide berth He's not a man to trust He's got guilt written in his eyes from dodgy goods he's pushed Could sell the sand to the Arabs even though they've got the deeds The type of man the government want down on his knees But he's only really trying to do the best that he can By building up his empire out of dirt grit and sand While there's trouble in the government and trouble on the streets My neighbours cars fire I can't get much sleep Gritty Britain what's a place to be Gritty Britain an island out at sea Gritty Britain an island of Nations But we fucked it all up for the next generation Violin drunken rowdiness spills out onto the streets Police have lost control the system is getting weak Kids are running riot looking for a fight Everyone's a victim in this lawless plight What kind of modern world is this supposed to be When the poor are getting poorer Andrew the rich is rich can be Excuse me Mr. Policeman why aren't you in a rush There’s kids chucking rocks and petrol bombs and junkies pushing drugs But we wouldn't want it any of away This is our UK and this is how it stays We wouldn't want it any other way This is our nation I'm a very proud to say Gritty Britain an Island in the sun Gritty Britain oh we do have so much fun Gritty Britain an island of nations But we fucked it all up for the next generation

Light Fingered Larry He will have your fingers in your wallet He will have your fingers right in your pie It's a case of pass it here. always wanting what you've got Constantly touching your bread Those fingers it just like parasites He's got a name like mud well known around these parts That's why they call him light-fingered Larry He's a right scally He's a right scally that one He's a right scally He's a right Scally that one You better watch your tools and that When you work with them cause they will be gone He will try and sell you them back by putting a different mark on them He will get you what you like But he's probably robbed it off one of your mates though He's a right old letchy scab Well known around these parts That's why they call him light-fingered Larry Lend him a tenner he will buy you back a pint Better watch around your girlfriend Better watch him round your wife Always standing at the bar Gobbing off a load of shite Reckoning to everybody that he will get you what you like He's a scallywag what is he up to now

Loaded Gun He's got some new shoes He's got some new clothes He's got a new hair do He's got a wicked tattoo He's got some credit on his phone Meeting some people that he knows He's going out tonight and he's feeling alright He's going round town with a loaded gun Look out he's dangerous Watch out he's dangerous Look out he's dangerous Watch out is dangerous Look out lady's cause here he comes Takes someone by the hand and walks into the night .. alright He does the walk of shame But he feels no shame He's got a smile on his face Cause he knows what he's done And as he gets back home Prepares himself once more And he reloads that gun Gets himself ready to go around town with a reloaded gun Don't shoot

My Mate Gary 02:23

My Mate Gary Piss it up the wall again Acting like idiots trying to write our names in urine Our behaviour is appalling But we couldn't care less Just like before Passing out in places where we can't be found Face down to the ground .in the gutter My missus says you’re a bad influence In the pub getting really drunk The type I shouldn't be knocking around with What is she on about she knows nowt My missus she should be proud Cause I can sup 15 pints in 4 hours And stil be standing talking shite He taught me all I know How to sup the ale how to sup it well Skiving work to join the Monday club down the bulls head So Gary don't leave me now Get another one in mate it's your round Just one more for the road nice one marra People say that we are going down Always drunk acting like clowns Laring out shouting out loud Around this shitty town My missus said you’re a bad influence

Riff Raff 03:40

Riff Raff Standing on the corner drinking alcopops and beer Smoking wacky baccy , cigarettes and taking gear And people say we are common as muck and we are no good for nothing But my mates think I'm cool So that must stand for something We are not scum class we are alright Standing on the street hanging out all night Getting up to mischief eyeing up the lassies Always wearing hoodies and causing havoc. We are not low lives we are ok We don't really care cause we do it our way Every single one of us has got a asbo We have broken the rules of our curfew My mother says you’re a teenage drunken lout Get a job your no good for owt Nothing but Riff Raff A little bit of a daft lad Knocking round with the wrong crowd All your mates are dragging you down You will have no future If you carry on like this Bout time you fell in line Cause now you’re running out of time Well my social worker he’s right pissed off. Cause I can't hold down a job but neither can my mates and don't say a lot I've got pride and I'm better than that Don't shoot me down you pompous twat Or I'll knock you out and rob your wallet and spend all your money on beer and vodka The coppers take me home most nights They have fitted me with a electronic tag I'm stuck inside this boring house So I climb out the window just to be with the lads

Swingers Paradise Why don't you come down to our town There's not that many people who can actually say that they come from a proper nice area Well I can I love it around here it's absolutely fab There's loads to do and see We have got this local boozer where we all meet up on Fridays and Saturday nights and get really pissed Then later on we will go back to someone's house and have a game of swappsies Why don't you come down to our town It's swingers paradise You can have a go of my missus and I can have a go of your wife It's a bit of a gene pool around here It's like loads of fish stuck in a tiny pond all intermingling And we all look the same as well We have all got big googly eyes , long gangly legs and big fat lips . My best mates uncle he's my dad and my girlfriend's brother too We just haven't worked it all out yet But we all live together in perfect harmony Touching and caressing one another Why don't you come down to our town its swingers paradise You can have a go of my misses and I can have a go of your wife Our town is not as gay as the likes of Blackpool and Morecambe Bay So come on down to our town it's swingers paradise You see that bloke over there He's doing a bit for her but is cheating on that lass over there But she doesn't mind at all cuz she's sleeping with his brother Who is knocking this other girl off whose boyfriend is servicing my wife But it's all gravy at the end of the day everybody is getting a bit so everybody is happy So if you're bored of your partner and your fancy a bit of a change Why don't you come on down you're more than welcome

Shameless 02:50
lyrics

Shameless Restless living a shameless life, red bloodshot eyes, laddered tights Some say scum born in a dump, raised by alkies and gyros Caught in the toilets with your trousers down. Some say filthy I say sound Pint after pint tobacco and fags, weekly allowances and bar tabs Running gun initiative only trying to do a bit drinking yourself to death Doing the things I like you're still girl that I used to know You're a disgrace you're just what I need Your hair is out of place out of place you're just what I need Maybe your shameless. but all I can see is you do what I do and I do what you do Blood-stained shirt from a bar room brawl Sick on your shoes on your clothes Fiver for a dab from the top of a bag Talking nonsense and constant Dancing on tables with your top half out old men watching and wanting Always shout out something obscene In pubs and nightclubs on the streets What state you're a disgrace but I love you What a mess but you're blessed I must confess in all the right places

My missus caught me watching porno My missus caught me watching porno Red handed darling I said oh no It's not quite how it seems I just clicked on this attachment and it all popped up Big girls and massive butts and my pants fell down as I stood up I swear it's not quite how it looks And the tissue was for my runny nose how I missed you that's why I look Because the girls are pretty, reminds me of you She said you twat that's no excuse I’m not giving up tonight You’re not getting owt off me I'm not giving it up tonight cause I caught you watching porn on the computer screen Now I'm in the dog house and how I'd really like to get back in the house Because I'm all alone and it's fuckin’ freezing out here and my beers inside and it's getting warm So I sneak though the bathroom window and lie next to you but you kick me out again I'm on the sofa with the cat and dog, I'm bored so I turn the computer back on I'm not getting nothing tonight but it doesn't really bother me You’re not giving it up tonight but I've still got my porn on the computer screen Oh no porno
