Totally Wired
|
Original UK release
|
First released ?? September 1980 on Rough Trade 7": RT056
01. Totally Wired
(Scanlon/Riley/Smith)
3:25
I'm Totally Wired. Totally Wired. I'm Totally Wired. Totally Wired.
Can't you see? A butterfly stomach round ground
I drank a jar of coffee and I took some of these
And I'm Totally Wired. Totally Wired. I'm Totally Wired. Totally Wired.
Life leaves you surprised
Slaps you in the eyes
If I were a communist, a rich man would bale me
The opposite applies
The morning light
Another fresh fight
Another row, right, right, right, right
And I'm Totally Wired. JJJust Totally Wired. I'm Totally Biased. Totally Wired.
You don't have to be weird to be wired
You don't have to be an American brand
You don't have to be strange to be strange
You don't have to be weird to be weird
But I'm Totally Wired. Totally Wired. JJJust Totally Wired. I'm Totally Wired.
My Heart and I agree
My Heart and I agree
I'm Irate, Peeved, Irate, Peeved
Irate, Bad State, Bad State
Cos I'm Totally Wired. Totally Wired. JJJust Totally Wired. Totally Wired.
And I'm always worried. And I'm always worried.
And I'm always worried. And I'm always worried.
02. Putta Block
(Scanlon/Riley/Smith/Hanley, S/Hanley, P)
4:35
What a dynamic entrance
Put a block on the words
This I hear on a train
We had salmon on a bus
At Epsom no races lost
We don't bet we just take ['tec]
Put a block on the words
Got no check on the world
Go and put a block on the works
Listen boys and girls
Just closer
On the [clommererds]
Just close off the words
Put a block on the words
The nine unknown men knew this
Three sorts
The first: along Louie's life
The second: the complete restructure of your pretentious life
Three: the only reason you know this
Is that it was well documented
But I say
Put a block on the words
Here's an independent chart moneyspinner
For all you people who've come a long way
Me and the guys played this for charity for spastics
We played it 10000 times
And raised 5 shillings and 7 and a half pence for charity
Cary Grant's wedding
Hail new puritan, righteous maelstrom
Have you ever heard a Bill Haley LP
What is this shit?
Everybody go Cary Grant's wedding
(Side 1: track 1; side 2: track 2)
