Original UK release

First released 11 August 1978 on Step Forward Records 7": SF7
01. Psycho Mafia (Smith/Friel) 2:19
Spitting on the streets
Numb heads and feet
Nowhere to go
Won't let us in the shows
'Cos we talk about love
And the Psycho-Mafia
I'm talking 'bout love
And the Psycho-Mafia
No soul in the discos
No rock in the clubs
Won't let us in the pubs
And the city joys
Going on about love
And the Psycho-Mafia
I'm talking about love
And the Psycho-Mafia
Psycho-Mafia
Psycho-Mafia
'cho Mafia
'cho Mafia
Spitting on the streets
Shot heads and teeth
Our eyes are red
Our brains are dead
Going on about drugs
Psycho-Mafia
I'm talking about love
Psycho-Mafia
02. Bingo-Master (Smith/Baines) 2:32
Two swans in front of his eyes
Colored balls in front of his eyes
It's number one for his Kelly's eye
Treble-six right over his eye
A big shot's voice in his ears
Worlds of silence in his ears
All the numbers account for years
Checks the cards through eyes of tears
Bingo-Master's Breakout!
All he sees is the back of chairs
In the mirror, a lack of hairs
A light room, which he fills out
Hear the players all shout
Bingo-Master's Breakout!
A glass of lager in his hand
Silver microphone in his hand
Wasting time in numbers and rhyme
One hundred blank faces buy
Bingo-Master's Breakout!
Came the time he flipped his lid
Came the time he flipped his lid
Holiday in Spain fell through
Players put it down to
Bingo-Master's Breakout
A hall full of cards left unfilled
Ended his life with wine and pills
There's a grave somewhere only partly filled
A sign in a graveyard on a hill reads
Bingo-Master's Breakout
03. Repetition (Baines/Burns/Friel/Bramah/Smith) 5:11
Right noise
We're gonna get real speedy
You gotta wear black all the time
You're gonna make it on your own
Cos we dig
Cos we dig
We dig
We dig repetition
We dig repetition
We've repetition in the music
And we're never going to lose it
All you daughters and sons
who are sick of fancy music
We dig repetition
Repetition on the drums
and we're never going to lose it
This is the three R's
The three R's:
Repetition, Repetition, Repetition
Oh mental hospitals
Oh mental hospitals
They put electrodes in your brain
And you're never the same
You don't dig repetition
You don't love repetition
Repetition in the music and we're never going to lose it
President Carter loves repetition
Chairman Mao he dug repetition
Repetition in China
Repetition in America
Repetition in West Germany
Simultaneous suicides
We dig it, we dig it
we dig it, we dig it
Repetition, repetition, repetition
Repetition, repetition, Regal Zonophone
There is no hesitation
This is your situation
Continue a blank generation
Blank generation
Same old blank generation
Groovy blank generation
Swinging blank generation
Repetition, repetition, repetition....
