[total-madness] Wonderful Album Lyrics

[Wayfinder]

Afternoon mad-folks.   Here are the album lyrics from the Japanese Import.   As per usual, don't moan to me about corrections- It is a Jap import! These are how they are printed in the booklet.     Special thanks to Yukiko Shima.   Sio.   'Parkway? where am I ?????'   -----------------------------------------   WONDERFUL - MADNESS   Lovestruck   Staggering home The headlights throw a shadow up and upon Friends and loved ones that have done no wrong But no longer mean anything to me Am I mumbling on into a crystal glass that echoes a song The enticement invites you along A path of exterior colour   But came the morning, shivering and contorting To border on the brink, for just another sink Oh, take me down, for one more round   Oh, involve me in libations Stick a rock in my foundation, I pickle my relations Put me on probation I'll take you down for one last round   Lovestruck, I've fallen for a lamppost, given her my upmost Spilling out my deepest feelings   Now all I want to do, is snuggle up to you A night cap in the early morning dew   Look! What have I become? Distancing myself so far and from But gazing up I wave the night boat on For now its heaven in deepest Tottenham   What have I done to deserve this fate? It's all gone wrong Even my cab fares been and gone Now I'm lagging in deepest Tottenham   Frightening, frightening, strike me down with lightning I've given into fighting Now all I want to do, is get closer to you A night cap in the early morning dew   Lovestruck, I've fallen for a lamppost, given her my upmost Spilling out my deepest feelings   ---------------------------------------------   Johnny The Horse   Johnny the horse was kicked to death He died for entertainment   would you believe he came out well He had a bright enquiring mind His family knew that he'd go far If he applied his time   But he started out Standing on corners And talking out loud, too loud You see he couldn't believe in himself, the world Or anything he heard   It seems a million years ago That he left his life behind The moment came for him to go He said goodbye to his wife and child   He started out walking Never looked back It was too much pain Between Glasgow and London One hot summer he forgot his name   Can you remember his name? Doo doodle eh do do   But he started out Standing on corners And talking out loud, too loud You see he couldn't believe in himself, the world Or anything he heard   Can you remember his name? Doo doodle eh do do   Can you remember his name? Doo doodle eh do do Ditto Woooh!   Will you remember hes name? Doo doodle eh do do Ditto Woooh!   He took his battered bones To Regents Park at sunset   ----------------------------------------------   The Communicator   I am the communicator I said I am the communicator   Chorus: And I go yedee yedee yedee yedee yedee yedee And I go yedee yedee yedee yedee yedee yedee And I go yedee yedee yedee yedee yedee yedee And I go yedee yedee yedee yedee yedee yedee   Unconditional love nothing but reconciliation It happens Standing room now only for the Madness nation Gotta get a tickle on a ticket for the grand slam station All aboard for the Madness nation   I am the communicator I said I am the communicator   Chorus   Let me tell you how I feel I feel I'm scarred for life   Yeah I am the communicator I said I am the communicator   Chorus   Oh, yesterday was history Tomorrow is a mystery Today is a gift that's why we call it the present All aboard, aboard back of the big blue train relations Standing room now only for the Madness nation   I said I am the communicator I said I am the communicator Come on I am the communicator Oh yeah I am the communicator   Let me tell you how I feel I'm scarred for life   ---------------------------------------------   4am   Terry turns he just cannot sleep From the ceaseless noise out in the street It's too hot and it's too late There's nothing he can do but wait   Terry says "I'm going nowhere fast" Nobody hears, there's no one there Julie wakes to find herself alone Which comes as no surprise, no surprise No surprise to be on her own   It's four in the morning, why don't you call me? I'm sorry I hurt you, I still want you back It's four in the morning   Terry says "I'm going nowhere fast" Nobody hears, there's no one there Julie wakes to find herself alone Which comes as no surprise, no surprise No surprise to be on her own   It's four in the morning, why don't you call me? I'm sorry I hurt you, I still want you back It's four in the morning, why don't you call me? I'm so tired of waiting, I still want you back It's four in the morning   It's four in the morning, why don't you call me? I'm sorry I hurt you, I still want you back It's four in the morning, why don't you call me? I'm so tired of waiting, I still want you back It's four in the morning   It's four in the morning, why don't you call me? I'm sorry I hurt you, I still want you back It's four in the morning, why don't you call me? I'm so tired of waiting, I still want you back It's four in the morning   ---------------------------------------------   The Wizard   I can read what's going through your mind I can see what you hide in your eyes Yes I'm going to put a spell on you Just to see what you will do   I'm a wizard and there's magic in the air I'm a sinner and my friend you'd best beware (There's music everywhere)   Can you see the full moon in the sky? Time like water flows by till we die Every moment wasted leaves its mark Each setting sun leaves us standing in the dark   One must forgive the noisy rushing fools Who have not time for nature's natural school They cannot see the life that's in their hands Like ghosts they disappear across the land   -------------------------------------------------   Drip Fed Fred   We want Freddie for our leader, Freddie is a man of Class We want Freddie for our leader All stand and raise your champagne glass   Gentlemen and assassins and ladies of the night I call upon you this evening In the hope of shedding some light I can't go into detail or finger unfounded fools But there are some here amongst us That are not playing to the rules   I've rounded up the lowlife and local CID Offered a free massage or else the third degree There is no simple solution in this life we lead So make things easy for yourself to the baronage concede   We want Freddie for our leader, Freddie is a man of Class We want Freddie for our leader All stand and raise your champagne glass   Peace shall not prevail in Purley Came the stark warning today From his hospital bed Drip fed Fred vowed he was here to stay I'll tell you something for nothing, never in all my days Have I felt so intimidated by the cheap tactics on display And now approaching the pulpit the Rt Hon Rev Green Hank C Burnette BBC News   We want Freddie for our leader, Freddie is a man of Class We want Freddie for our leader All stand and raise your champagne glass   We are gathered here this evening to pay our due respects To drip fed Fred who late last night fell out of his prison bed We know the nonce behind it, who slipped the night PD The word is out now without doubt, you will answer to me   Gentlemen and assassins and ladies of the night I call upon you this evening In the hope of shedding some light There is a simple solution One called honour amongst thieves So we'll take pity on your souls and only cap you knees   I'll tell you something for nothing I'll tell you oh yeha yeha No No oh heya No I'll tell ya S. Hear me out, hear me out, hear me out!!   -------------------------------------------------   Going To The Top   When you're going to the top and you have no time to stop Then you have to travel light and you'd better go by night Cause it's not a pretty sight when you're going to the top And you're never going to stop And you won't let nobody block Your way to the top   And though bodies they may fall Old friends against the wall Can't let feelings in the way, as if you had some anyway Some will have to move aside, true intent you'll always hide Wagging tongues may call you snide, you may not know Who's on your side When you're going to the top   But you could let it go tonight Watch it all fade out of sight There's still some time to mend your ways Don't you know it's love that pays   Still you've heard it all before and I don't want to be a bore So I'll just be on my way, maybe we will meet one day Probably won't have much to say, if I see you passing by Cause you're going much to high And you may well never stop Cause you're going to the top   Maybe we will meet one day Probably won't have much to say So I'll just say toodle ooh and the best of luck to you When I see you passing by When you're going much to high When you're going to the top   When you're going to the toooooooop When you're going to the toooooooop   But you could take my hand tonight We'd let it all fade out of sight There's still some time to mend your ways Don't you know it's love that pays   -----------------------------------------------   Elysium   Elysium Is everyone chipping at your cordiality? Elysium You stand, ice bound, to the wind a casualty   Elysium Is everyone nagging at your reason to believe? Elysium You stare down from a mound with such hostility   Listen to me now, wipe your eyes Relax your hand and come inside Lift back your head and swallow your pride Don't be ashamed in me, confide   Oh I've seen you pretend The happy go lucky, everything's funky But in the end Your manic obsession turns to depression   Elysium Is everyone chipping at your cordiality? Elysium You stand, ice bound, to the wind a casualty   Stand back, watch the bright spark fly To catch a glimpse, don't blink an eye The touchpaper wrapped around your soul has been lit Let's go with the flow Heaven I'm in heaven   Elysium Is everyone tugging at your idea to be free? Elysium Do they cry out for your sensibility?   ------------------------------------------------   Saturday Night Sunday Morning   I knew you'd come back, we always do Like thieves returning to the scene of a crime Did they tell you everything has changed, just everything Oh everything has changed, just everything   It's not Saturday night, Sunday morning There was something else I meant to say It's not Saturday night, Sunday morning There was so much more I meant to say to you   You know they still want to talk about you But they don't want anything too real So most of the conversation revolves around Things that happened twenty years ago   They must have told you everything has changed, everything Oh everything must change, everything It's not Saturday night, Sunday morning There was so much more I could've said to you It's not Saturday night, Sunday morning There was so much more I meant to say to you   It's not Saturday night, Sunday morning There was so much more I meant to say It's not Saturday night, Sunday morning There was so much more I meant to say to you   ----------------------------------------------   If I Didn't Care   I know there's time I know there's time I know there's time I know there's time   If I didn't care, more than words can say If I didn't dare, would I feel this way If this isn't love, then why do I thrill And what makes my head go round and round While my heart stands still   If I didn't care, would it be the same Would my every prayer, begin and end, with just your name And could I be sure that this is love, beyond compare Would all this be true If I didn't care for you If I didn't care   I know there's time I know there's time I know there's time I know there's time   If I didn't care, if I didn't care If I didn't care, more than words can say If I didn't care, would I feel this way And if this isn't love, then why do I thrill And what makes my head go round and round While my heart stands still   I know there's time, for us I know there's time I know there's time, for us I know there's time   -------------------------------------------------   You're Wonderful   You're wonderful, so wonderful, it's good to see you You're wonderful, so wonderful, it's good to see you   These are the days I love and I've been happier than most Crossing England coast to coast through your towns And when I feel the land and I cry a salty tear For those who are not here on this day   Chorus 2   And when I look back when life was uncomplicated then We had some things we hated but more than that we loved And we took care to wear what nobody else would wear Because we didn't really care back in those days   Chorus   ------------------------------------------------   No Money   She'd gotten used to the idle life Following the sun was her full time occupation A lesson to us all, footloose for the education Oh, but look at her now, foxtrotting the globe With her head in the clouds   I haven't got no money, to keep this affair afloat And I don't think that it's funny, it looks like I've sunk my boat But she'll keep me dangling on and on and on   Well firs and pearls I'm trapped in your pocket Where six foot toys stumble upon it Your high class ways have seen better days But to me you'll always be complicating, infatuating   I haven't got no money, to keep this affair afloat And I don't think that it's funny, it looks like I've sunk my boat   I haven't got no money, to keep this affair afloat And I don't think that it's funny, it looks like I've sunk my boat But she'll keep me dangling on and on and on   Royal Brittania, the jet set dreams on and on Into another sun drenched scene Where kings and queens and jesters preen   I haven't got no money, to keep this affair afloat And I don't think that it's funny, it looks like I've sunk my boat   I haven't got no money, to keep this affair afloat And I don't think that it's funny, it looks like I've sunk my boat   -------------------------------------------------------   Round And Round   I don't know whom to turn to Or remember where I've been I had it a minute ago Now I've lost it in the din It's so bright I can't see This jargon in front of me Six figures on dotted lines Returns me to the crime   Sleep walking down the hall Dressed for mime and ridicule Evidently up the wall To be all and end all   Round and around we go again In and out of the charts my friend Shaking hands with faceless men Will this nightmare cease to end? Around and around we go again Up and down with "whatshername" False teeth to a hidden lens As we do a little dance for the mortgage men   Don't ask me, I'm lost too, I'm just following you Tail tucked between my legs Through the hoops out on a ledge   Round and round we go again And opportunity to extend A handshake to some faceless men Will this nightmare cease to end?
