01. 15 Ways
(Smith/Scanlon/Hanley, S)
2:55
No need to be down-hearted
There must be 10 ways to leave your man
Don't be broken-hearted
There are many ways to leave your man
Leave your man x3
You gotta be cheerful-hearted
There's at least 15 ways to leave your man
Get a flat and a magazine
Get your body ahead and out of that scene
Don't be disconcerted
There must be 15 ways to leave your man
Soon you will discover you are no longer undercover
Break! Now! Fly direct! Post Office box!
You'll get a dallying notion
But you will soon recover
No longer undercover
Branch out into complete disorder
You gotta be cheerful-hearted
There's at least 15 ways to leave your man
Get a flat and a magazine
Get your body ahead and out of that scene
But don't be disconcerted
There are 8 ways to keep your man
Don't be down-hearted
There are 15 ways to leave your man
Don't be too disconcerted
Use all 15 ways to leave your man
Leave your man
16 ways to leave your man
Leave your man
Leave your man
02. Hey! Student
(Smith/Scanlon/Hanley, S)
4:30
When I'm walking down the street
It's always you I seem to meet
Long hair down and sneakers on your feet
And write your letters to the Evening News
I clench my fist and sing this tune
I said Hey student, hey student, hey student
You're gonna get it through the head
I said Hey student, hey student, hey student
You're gonna get it through the head, I said...
When walking to work
It's always you I seem to meet
Henna in your hair, standing in the heat
As you serve us in [motor bows] a book kid
I clench my hand before I flip my lid
CHORUS
When walking down the street
It's always you I seem to meet
Long hair down and sneakers on your feet
As you listen to Pearl Jam in your room
I'm thinking like that when I sing this song
CHORUS
I said I woka-to-ma, woka-to-ma
Woka-to-ma, wah wah wah x2
When walking down the street
It's always you I seem to meet
Long hair down and sneakers on your feet
As you stare in your room at Shaun Ryder's face
Down long long long long days
CHORUS
I said I woka-to-ma, woka-to-ma
Woka-to-ma, wah wah wah x2
The dead brains of class A-D
Born to live in Leigh-on-Sea
Twin swastikas, court, swimming pool
I'm thinking like this when I sing this tune
CHORUS
I said I woka-to-ma, woka-to-ma
Woka-to-ma, wah wah wah x2
03. The $500 Bottle Of Wine
(Smith/Scanlon/Hanley, S)
2:33
-A 500 dollar bottle of wine [x2]
-A 500 dollar bottle of wine
-That's all we get for being with him all the time
I give them a 500 bottle of wine
That's all they get most of the time
-A 500 dollar bottle of wine [x2]
Two days in the desert
What did they get
For all of the tears and the grind
A 500 dollar bottle of wine
-We've been through desert
-And blew on our shirts (and Brix' torn our last shirts?)
-And all the lightning and life
-We said so much to (just a) crazy and white (whine?)
-A half filled (no) bottle of wine
-A 500 dollar bottle of wine
-That's all I get man most of the time
We been through the desert
Went through their last shirts
And all the lightning and crime
A half-filled bottle of wine
-They're all fat gits and they get on our tits
-They're all fat gits and they get on our tits
That's all you get most of the time
For all the life in crime
The 500 bottle of wine
-Drive (been) through the desert (drive for) in 36 hours
-But when we get the ending we took
-The 500 dollar (bottle) of wine
-A 500 dollar bottle of wine
And I feel real guilty
The babies are squealing
Starving and pleading all the time
A 500 dollar bottle of wine
-A 500 dollar bottle of wine [x5]
-You think it's gonna get on my tits [x2]
They all bitch
They just whinge
And drink my last bottle of wine
I feel real guilty
I been through my last shirt
And I get guilty all the time
-Yeah
-C'mon
-500 dollars
Get down the fucking liquor store boy
