Sweet & Tender Hooligan
He was a sweet and tender hooligan, hooligan
And he said that hed never, never do it again
And of course he wont (oh, not until the next time)
He was a sweet and tender hooligan, hooligan
And he swore that hell never, never do it again
And of course he wont (oh, not until the next time)
Poor old man
He had an accident with a three-bar fire
But thats ok
Because he wasnt very happy anyway
Poor woman
Strangled in her very own bed as she read
But thats ok
Because she was old and she would have died anyway

Rusholme Ruffians
The last night of the fair
By the big wheel generator
A boy is stabbed

Paint A Vulgar Picture
At the record company meeting
On their hands - a dead star
And oh, the plans they weave
And oh, the sickening greed
At the record company party
On their hands - a dead star
The sycophantic slags all say :
I knew him first, and I knew him well
Re-issue ! re-package ! re-package !
Re-evaluate the songs
Double-pack with a photograph
Extra track (and a tacky badge)
A-list, playlist
Please them , please them !
Please them !
(sadly, this was your life)
But you could have said no
If youd wanted to
You could have said no
If youd wanted to
