01. Susan vs Youthclub
(Smith/Milner)
3:40
Susan had an accident
Reverted back to age sixteen
Went down to the youthclub
In a mirror looked and started to scream
A similar thing happened to me
When I was of the age thirteen
Reflection held a picture of a man
Of two hundred and three
And it was all in all safe and warm
Safe and warm
Reading book I had no teeth
To talk about on that day
Badly Boy Drawn had confiscated them
And put them in
A mouldy old accoustic case
Safe and warm for a Saturday
And it was all in all safe and warm
The reflection held
I hel... looked a whole lot better
Distinguished
Picking crumbs off the floor
Sophisticated
Susan had an accident
Reverted back to age sixteen
Went down to the youthclub
In a mirror looked and started to scream
And it was all in all safe and warm
02. Janet vs Johnny
(Smith/Pritchard)
2:49
What if all the (world)
(Carroted and mashed)
Into your eyelids
Neopotism
It's me and (?)
Through your (collar/colour)
Janet and Johnny
And James
(Crash/crush your mind)
(Crash/crush your mind)
Eager, smug and positive
With appointment
You never make it
Janet and Johnny
And James
(Crash/crush your mind)
(Crash/crush your mind)
I, weak man
With too much power
(Droop/troop) out the door
A weakened person
The discarded columns
Form a circle
On your rubbish throwout
What if all the (world)
(Carroted and mashed)
It happens all the time
Janet and Johnny
And James
(Crash/crush your mind)
(Crash/crush your mind)
03. Susan vs Youthclub (remix)

Sixteen...
And it was all in all safe and warm
An accid...
All in all safe and warm
An accid...
All in all safe and warm
Went down the youthclub
All in all safe and warm
An accid...
And it was all in all safe and warm
All in all safe and warm
All in all safe and warm
All in all
And it was all in all
All in all
And it was all in all safe and warm
And it was
And it was
