B.A.D. - Lost
Treasures of Big Audio Dynamite I & II
The horses are on the track
Theres a new dance thats going around
When the hits start flying you gotta get down
All the young people dance round the square
The old time groove is really nowhere
So when you reach the bottom line
The only thing to do is climb
Pick yourself up of the floor
Don`t know what you`re waiting for
A dance to the tune of economic decline
Is when you do the bottom line
Nagging questions always remain
Why did it happen and who was to blame?
So when you reach the bottom line
The only thing to do is climb
Pick yourself up of the floor
Don`t know what you`re waiting for
The horses are on the track
They`ve been doing it down at the zoo
And I can show ya heres what to do
All of the States and over UK
Even the Soviets are swinging away
So when you reach the bottom line
The only thing to do is climb
Pick yourself up of the floor
Anything you want is yours
"...and they`re off"
The road aheads` clear as a motorway
Give us this day our daily bread and send us on our way
Perchance to dream or take a holiday
Romeo oh Romeo
You gotta have your say
When you reach the bottom line
The only thing to do is climb
Pick yourself up off the floor
Don`t know what you`re waiting for
When you reach the bottom line
The only thing to do is climb
Pick yourself up off the floor
Anything you want is yours
Part two - Part two
I`m gonna take you to part two part two
I`m gonna take you to part two
The form on the earth of the same old jive
Now you must be one and now you`ve gotta stay alive
Now take a tip from one who knows
`Cause I can`t find a way to go
Romeo Romeo this gotta be the show
Romeo Romeo this gotta be the show
Romeo Romeo this gotta be the show
Romeo Romeo
That`s not to say that it`s gonna be easy
No one here gets a free ride
We`re on the block and there must be a reason
No one here gets out alive
Romeo Romeo this gotta be the show
Romeo Romeo this gotta be the show
Romeo Romeo this gotta be the show
Romeo Romeo
You gotta work hard before yourself
And you gotta come together for the Common Wealth
I`m not down on weed and specks
So make sure not to get weed on your face
Bozo Bozo Alcohol `n aload
Bozo Bozo Alcohol `n aload
You gotta be smart stay on the one
Gotta horse of a horse a price tag gun
If you wanna rob a bank you must be aware you gotta use the computer upstairs
If from a singular town came a war fare
When you`re blopping out in your little chair
Romeo Romeo Romeo Romeo
We`re not talking `bout the third world war or whose not being fair
We`re just saying they could drop the bomb and we don`t even care
We`re not talking `bout the third world war or whose not being fair
We`re just saying they could drop the bomb and we don`t even care

Somebody I never met
But in a way I know
Didn`t think that you could get
So much from a picture show
Man dies first reel
People ask what`s the deal?
This aint how it`s supposed to be
Don`t like no aborigine
Ritual ideas relativety
Only buildings no people prophecy
Timeslide place to hide nudge reality
Foresight minds wide magic imagery
Took a trip in Powis Square
Pop star dyed his hair
No fans to scream and shout
When mobsters came to flush him out
Gangland slaying underground
New identity must be found
On the left bank for a while
Insanity Bohemian style
Ritual ideas relativety
Only buildings no people prophecy
Timeslide place to hide nudge reality
Foresight minds wide magic imagery
Met a dwarf that was no good
Dressed like little Red Riding Hood
Bad habit taking life
Calling card a six inch knife
Ran off really fast
Mumbled something `bout the past
Best sex I`ve ever seen
As if each moment was the last
Drops of blood colour slide
Funeral for his bride
But it`s him who`s really dead
Gets to take the funeral ride
Ritual ideas relativety
Only buildings no people prophecy
Timeslide place to hide nudge reality
Foresight minds wide magic imagery
Space guy fell from the sky
Scratched my head and wondered why
Time slide into time
Across international dateline
Scientist eats bubblegum
Hall of fame baseball
Senators a Hoodlum
Big chiefs in the hall
Ritual ideas relativety
Only buildings no people prophecy
Timeslide place to hide nudge reality
Foresight minds wide magic imagery
Stray thoughts fear to tread
Placed upon the screen instead
Shes my flame too hot to hold
Had to settle for her cold
Bloodlust - Greek God - Gold discovery
Gone bust - Tight wad - Slow recovery
Axe job - Flame thrower - Ironbar and gun
Betting shop - New owner - A walk in the sun
Ritual ideas relativety
Only buildings no people prophecy
Timeslide place to hide nudge reality
Foresight minds wide magic imagery
Spread the news the Maestros back
With a beat - Box soundtrack
The King of brains - Queen of the sack`
Executives have heart attack
It`s assault course celluloid
The money makers would avoid
Sometimes notions get reversed
Centre of the universe
Ritual ideas relativety
Only buildings no people prophecy
Timeslide place to hide nudge reality
Foresight minds wide magic imagery
Covered wagon medicine show
Take you to the place where the healing flows
Weak in spirit we got the juice
Wont save your soul it`ll shine your shoes
Treated king to kangaroo
Santa Fe to Timbuktu
Don`t be fooled by imitation
This is the stuff that cured a nation
We took the tube and the high plains too
Never stopped long just passing through
A drop of the laughter of the maids of France
Makes a hopeless cripple dance
It was really vile weather
When we got to tarred and feathered
You could hear the six guns sound
As they chased us out of town
In India we`re all the rave
Discovered that its great as aftershave
Dropped in the sea just off Japan
Swapped 20 bottles for an aqua-walkman
Immunity from ridicule
Improves your brains if you`re a fool
And I read in the Middle East
They traded some for a hostage release
Now if you`re bald it`ll give you hair
If you got straight trousers it`ll give you flares
Feeling up you`ll get depressed
Out of style here`s a brand new dress
It was really vile weather
When we got to tarred and feathered
You could hear the six guns sound
As they chased us out of town
The stuff we sell is just the best
Passing all consumer test
Days of heaven nights of sin
Voodoo stick and sharks fin
When all around you seems like hell
Just one sip will make you well
Multipurpose in a jar
If you aint ill it`ll fix your car
In days of yore for all bad feelings
Washing socks and stripping ceilings
Nowadays its used medicinally
For all known human malady
It was really vile weather
When we got to tarred and feathered
You could hear the six guns sound
As they chased us out of town
Guaranteed don`t you know
Money back?
You`ll get a no!
It`s the one and only medicine show
The Messiahs of the milk bar
Hellraisers to the end
Had a drop to many
In a toast to all their friends
Movie stars and writers
Are present a to z
Now these ain`t common people
They`re personalities
And they`ve all got a story
Tattle talk from Tinseltown
Some of them survivors
Others gone to ground
There`s Brendan B and Hunter T
Whats a poet got to say
Hunter`s looking for a story
About the IRA
Lenny isn`t laughing
He nearly lost his life
A transexual from the Transvaal
Slipped in as his wife
It`s a star studded scandal
So raise your glass my friend
The Messiahs of the milk bar
Hellraisers to the end
And they`ve all got a story
Tattle talk from Tinseltown
Some of them survivors
Others gone to ground
Bukowski wants to talk
But he`s had too much to drink
Threw up in the piano
`Cause he thought it was the sink
Little Richard and Sal Dali
Singing out of key
Both hallucinated
The Sandoz was for free
Osbornes at a party Colin Wilson`s on the line
Saying listen Johnny Baby
That catchphrase is mine"
Flynn and Reed in conversation
Reowned throughout the land
Used a calculator
Workout who`s the better man
Now Errols` got the looks
And Ollis` got the strenght
One is talking numbers
And the others` talking lenght
Fattys feeling frisky
Orders more champagne
Women run out screaming
"Oh no not again!"
And they`ve all got a story
Tattle talk from Tinseltown
Some of them survivors
Others gone to ground
It`s a star studded scandal
So raise your glass my friend
The Messiahs of the milk bar
Hellraisers to the end
The Messiahs of the milk bar
Hellraisers to the end
Feelings fly around
Around up in the air
Bouncing off the walls
Getting under my hair
On the carpet in the weave
Up in trees on the leaves
Feelings flying everywhere
I`m on the right track
For what I want to say
I got to get it out
There ain`t no other way
To make contact
There ain`t no getting away
From how I feel today
Feelings flying around
Around up in the air
Out in the hall
And sitting in my chair
I`ve seen them on the train
Coming down with the rain
Feelings flying everywhere
I`m on the right track
For what I want to say
I got to get it out
There ain`t no other way
To make contact
There ain`t no getting away
From how I feel today
Feelings flying around
Around up in the air
Some are really small
They come from over there
Hard to ignore
I see them all the more
Feelings flying everywhere
I`m on the right track
For what I want to say
I got to get it out
There ain`t no other way
To make contact
There ain`t no getting away
From how I feel today
I`m on the right track
For what I want to say
I got to get it out
There ain`t no other way
To make contact
There ain`t no getting away
From how I feel today
I`m on the right track
For what I want to say
I got to get it out
There ain`t no other way
To make contact
There ain`t no getting away
From how I feel today
If I do what I wanted
Just don`t have the time
I wanna ride my motorcycle
Into the sunshine
My TV`s laughin`
We could only feel small
Now come silent into this cell
All I can see is these walls
And I never wanna see another shopping mall
Oh Free
To be what I will
Oh Free
I`ll keep it up till
I`m Free
But I wont have nothing at all
This is my life
Believe it I will pay
But why should I care about all that today
I need a head start
And I don`t wanna stall
Gonna take a bulldozer to break down the walls
And I never wanna see another shopping mall
Oh Free
To be what I will
Oh Free
I`ll keep it up till
I`m Free
But I wont have nothing at all
Oh Free
To be what I will
Oh Free
I`ll keep it up till
I`m Free
But I wont have nothing at all
Oh Free
To be what I will
Oh Free
I`ll keep it up till
I`m Free
But I wont have nothing at all
If I have my time again
I would do it all the same
Ain`t change a single thing
Even when I was the blind
For the heartache and the pain
Got a cause throughout my ears
How I`d love to be your man
Through the laughter and the tears
Situation no win
Rush for the change of atmosphere
I can`t go on so I give in
Gotta get myself right outta here
Now I`m fully grown
And I know where it`s at
Somehow I stayed thin
While the other guys got fat
All the chances that are blown
And the times that I`ve been down
I didn`t get to high
Kept my feet on the ground
Situation no win
Rush for the change of atmosphere
I can`t go on so I give in
Gotta get myself right outta here
And of all my friends
You`ve been the best to me
Soon will be tha day
When I repay you hands and knees
Broken hearts are hard to mend
I know I`ve had my share
But life just carries on
Even when I`m not there
Situation no win
Rush for the change of atmosphere
I can`t go on so I give in
Gotta get myself right outta here
Situation no win
Rush for the change of atmosphere
I can`t go on so I give in
Gotta get myself right outta here
Gotta get myself right
Gotta get myself right
Gotta get myself right
Outta there
Gotta get myself right
Gotta get myself right
Gotta get myself right
Outta there
Break it on down
Bless you
Bless you
I wanna bless you
Bless you

Is this the road that
You take till the end
And if we left behind
Is this the highway
Of our mankind
Axes spins so round and round we go
Where we`re goin` no one really knows
Here we here we here we here we go
Feel the fire
Way down below

Forget all your sorrows
I`d wish I could`ve seen you
You could run wild
I`d really liked to know you
As an innocent child
Innocent child
It`s never to late
For you to do
You don`t have to wait
For the sun to go through
I`d wish I could`ve seen you
You could run wild
I`d really liked to know you
As an innocent child
Innocent child
I know a way
Searchin` the truth
Go back to the days
For your youth

You could run wild

As an innocent child

Looking for a song
About 3.30 long
A song that I can sing
It don`t need no complicating theme
I`d better take you further away
And back this is the base
Some things that got away
It don`t need no complicating theme
Complicating theme
It ain`t as easy as it looks
Coming up with all these hooks
Remember that it has to swing
It don`t need no complicating theme
Do you feel you want to play
Well if you do that`s OK
Maybe add a little sting
It don`t need no complicating theme
Complicating theme
We`re going over this bridge
Quite fast like we always do
Somewhere at about the middle of the last
After chorus two
Here we got the drums bass and guitars
And a teacher too
And we`re going to a town near you
Looking for a song
Looking for a song
Looking for a song
About 3.30 long
A song that I can sing
It don`t need no complicating theme
A melody with verbal rage
About this little pain
Something had got a ring
It don`t need no complicating theme
Complicating theme
Yeah it ain`t as easy as it looks
Coming up with all these hooks
Remember that it has to swing
It don`t need no complicating theme
Do you feel you want to play
Well if you do then that`s OK
Maybe add a little sting
It don`t need no complicating theme
Complicating theme
It don`t need no complicating theme
