Demonios beligerantes
dirigen las escuelas de Manchester.
Cerdos sin carácter
con mentes cementadas.
El profe lidera las tropas,
celoso de la juventud,
lleva el mismo traje desde 1962.
Baila el pasodoble
por mi nuca.
Quiero irme a casa,
no quiero quedarme.
Renuncio a la educación como un grave error.
Entre semana, en el campo de juego,
el profe te da un porrazo en las rodillas,
un rodillazo en la ingle
y un codazo en la cara,
dejando moretones más grandes que platos llanos.
Quiero irme a casa,
no quiero quedarme.
Demonios beligerantes
dirigen las escuelas de Manchester.
Spineless bastards, all
El profe lidera las tropas,
celoso de la juventud
Cuenta los mismos chistes desde 1902.
Baila el pasodoble
por mi nuca.
Quiero irme a casa,
no quiero quedarme.
Renuncio a la vida como un grave error.
Por favor excúseme de gimnasia,
tengo un resfriado terrible.
Él agarra y devora,
me patea en las duchas,
me patea en las duchas,
y agarra y devora.
Quiero irme a casa,
no quiero quedarme.
Belligerent ghouls
Run Manchester schools
Spineless swines
Cemented minds
Sir leads the troops
Jealous of youth
Same old suit since 1962
He does the military two-step
Down the nape of my neck
I want to go home
I don't want to stay
Give up education as a bad mistake
Mid-week on the playing fields
Sir thwacks you on the knees
Knees you in the groin
Elbow in the face
Bruises bigger than dinner plates
I want to go home
I don't want to stay
Belligerent ghouls
Run Manchester schools
Spineless bastards, all
Sir leads the troops
Jealous of youth
Same old jokes since nineteen-two
He does the military two-step
Down the nape of my neck
I want to go home
I don't want to stay
Give up life as a bad mistake
Please excuse me from gym
I've got this terrible cold coming on
He grabs and devours
He kicks me in the showers
Kicks me in the showers
And he grabs and devours
I want to go home
I don't want to stay
La última noche de la feria
By the big wheel generator
A boy is stabbed and his money is grabbed
And the air hangs heavy like a dulling wine
She is famous, she is funny
An engagement ring no significa nada
To a mind consumed by brass money
And though I walk home alone
I might walk home alone
But my faith in love is still devout
La última noche de la feria
From a seat on a whirling waltzer
Her skirt ascends for a watching eye
It's a hideous trait on her mother's side
From a seat on a whirling waltzer
Her skirt ascends for a watching eye
It's a hideous trait on her mother's side
And though I walk home alone
I might walk home alone
But my faith in love is still devout
Then someone falls in love and someone's beaten up
Someone's beaten up and the senses being dulled are mine
And someone falls in love, then someone's beaten up
And the senses being dulled are mine
And though I walk home alone
I might walk home alone
But my faith in love is still devout
This is the last night of the fair
And the grease in the hair
Of a speedway operator
Is all a tremulous heart requires
A schoolgirl is denied
She said, "How quickly would I die
If I jumped from the top of the parachute?"
This is the last night of the fair
And the grease in the hair
Of a speedway operator
Is all a tremulous heart requires
A schoolgirl is denied
She said, "How quickly would I die
If I jumped from the top of the parachute?"
So scratch my name on your arm with a fountain pen
This means you really love me
Scratch my name on your arm with a fountain pen
This means you really love me
And though I walk home alone
I just might walk home alone
But my faith in love is still devout
I might walk home alone
But my faith in love is still devout
I might walk home alone
But my faith in love is still devout
The last night of the fair
By the big wheel generator

On the day that your mentality
Decides to try to catch up with your biology
Come 'round
'Cause I want the one I can't have
And it's driving me mad
It's all over, all over, all over my face
On the day that your mentality
Catches up with your biology
I want the one I can't have
And it's driving me mad
It's all over, all over, all over my face
A double-bed
And a stalwart lover, for sure
Estas son las riquezas de los pobres.

And I want the one I can't have
And it's driving me mad
It's all over, all over, my face
Un niño duro que a veces se traga clavos
Raised on Prisoner's Aid
mató a un policía when he was 13
And somehow that really impressed me
But it's written all over my face
Estas las riquezas de los pobres

I want the one I can't have
And it's driving me mad
It's written all over my face
On the day that your mentality
Catches up with your biology
And if you ever need self-validation
Just meet me in the alley by the railway-station
It's all over my face
On the day that your mentality
Decides to try to catch up with your biology
Come 'round
'Cause I want the one I can't have
And it's driving me mad

And a stalwart lover, for sure
These are the riches of the poor

Raised on Prisoner's Aid
He killed a policeman when he was 13
And somehow that really impressed me

What she said
"How come someone hasn't noticed that I'm dead
And decided to bury me? God knows, I'm ready"
What she said was sad
But then, all the rejection she's had
To pretend to be happy could only be idiocy
What she said was not
For the job or lover that she never had
What she read
All heady books she'd sit and prophesize
It took a tattooed boy from Birkenhead
To really, really open her eyes
What she read
All heady books she'd sit and prophesize
It took a tattooed boy from Birkenhead
To really, really open her eyes
What she said
¡Fumo porque espero una muerte temprana
y necesito aferrarme a algo!

Park the car at the side of the road
You should know
Time's tide will smother you
And I will too
When you laugh about people who feel so
Very lonely
Their only desire is to die
Well, I'm afraid
It doesn't make me smile
I wish I could laugh
But that joke isn't funny anymore
It's too close to home
And it's too near the bone
It's too close to home
And it's too near the bone
More than you'll ever know ...
Kick them when they fall down
Kick them when they fall down
You kick them when they fall down
Kick them when they fall down
You kick them when they fall down
Kick them when they fall down
You kick them when they fall down
Kick them when they fall down
It was dark as I drove the point home
And on cold leather seats
Well, it suddenly struck me
I just might die with a smile on my
Face after all
I've seen this happen in other people's
Lives
And now it's happening in mine
I've seen this happen in other people's
Lives
And now it's happening in mine

I'd like to drop my trousers to the world
I am a man of means, of slender means
Each household appliance
Is like a new science in my town
And if the day came
When I felt a natural emotion
I'd get such a shock
I'd probably jump in the ocean
And when a train goes by
It's such a sad sound
No, it's such a sad thing
I'd like to drop my trousers to the queen
Every sensible child will know what this means
Los pobres y los necesitados
son egoístas and greedy on her terms
And if the day came
When I felt a natural emotion
I'd get such a shock
probablemente saltaría al océano
y cuando pasa un tren
es un sonido tan triste,
no, es algo tan triste.
And when I'm lying in my bed
pienso en la vida
y en la muerte también,
y ninguna particularly appeals to me
And if the day came
When I felt a natural emotion
I'd get such a shock I'd probably lie
In the middle of the street and die
I'd lie down and die
Oh, oh
I'd like to drop my trousers to the world
I am a man of means, of slender means
Each household appliance
Is like a new science in my town
And if the day came
When I felt a natural emotion
I'd get such a shock
I'd probably jump in the ocean
And when a train goes by
It's such a sad sound
No, it's such a sad thing
I'd like to drop my trousers to the queen
Every sensible child will know what this means
The poor and the needy
Are selfish and greedy on her terms
And if the day came
When I felt a natural emotion
I'd get such a shock
I'd probably jump in the ocean
And when a train goes by
It's such a sad sound
No, it's such a sad thing
And when I'm lying in my bed
I think about life
And I think about death
And neither one particularly appeals to me
And if the day came
When I felt a natural emotion
I'd get such a shock I'd probably lie
In the middle of the street and die
I'd lie down and die
Oh, oh
Well I wonder Do you hear me when you sleep?
I hoarsely cry
Well I wonder
Do you see me when we pass?
I half-die
Por favor tenme presente
Por favor tenme presente
Gasping but somehow still alive
This is the fierce last stand of all I am
Gasping, dying but somehow still alive
This is the final stand of all I am
Por favor tenme presente
Well I wonder Do you hear me when you sleep?
I hoarsely cry
Well I wonder
Do you see me when we pass?
I half-die
Please keep me in mind
Please keep me in mind
Gasping but somehow still alive
This is the fierce last stand of all I am
Gasping, dying but somehow still alive
This is the final stand of all I am
Please keep me in mind

Heifer whines could be human cries
se acerca el cuchillo chillador
This beautiful creature must die
This beautiful creature must die
Una muerte sin motivo,
una muerte sin motivo es ASESINATO.
Y la carne que you so fancifully fry
Is not succulent, tasty or kind
Una muerte sin motivo,
una muerte sin motivo es ASESINATO.
And the calf that you carve with a smile
Is MURDER
Y el pavo you festively slice
Is MURDER
¿Sabes cómo mueren los animales?
Kitchen aromas aren't very homely
It's not "comforting", cheery or kind
It's sizzling blood and the unholy stench
Of MURDER
No es "natural", ni "normal", ni amable.
The flesh you so fancifully fry
The meat in your mouth
As you savour the flavour
Of MURDER
NO, NO, NO, IT'S MURDER
NO, NO, NO, IT'S MURDER
Oh...and who hears when animals cry ?
