DEAD STAR BOYS debut album lyics

IS REMOTE CONTROL REALLY BREAKING DOWN ?

Wrapped in an illusion – of war and hate

Let’s start the revolution – before it gets too late

Did you hear them say – yeah the time is now ?

Is this just sound – or is remote control really breaking down ?

You’ve been burnt – coz you took it all to heart

Coz you met your heroes – standing at the bar

Did you hear them say – yeah the time is now ?

Is this just sound – or is remote control really breaking down

Don’t need a bullshit detector – can you smell the rot

Thought we were gonna shake - and break the fucking lot

Can’t you see it’s over - time to tell the truth

And I swear I’ll never – tell a lie to a kid like you

is remote control really breaking down – or is it all over

MARBLES

It’s 5 o’clock - what’s on the TV ?

Come on tell me - What did you learn today ?

Johnny’s got ten marbles - Playing on the floor

Mummy’s got three marbles - But she used to have more

When she was young – she really was different

Hard to remember – a long time ago

TV dinners – sat on a tray

Where did the spark go – she can’t say

Mummy pushes buttons – no control - out of reach

The one eyed lodger – has plenty to teach

Daddy’s got one marble – it rattles around

He knows that he lost them - a long time ago

And mummy don’t care

She’s unaware

Little Johnny – he just stares

But there’s no-one there.

Johnny plays with his marbles, on the floor.

But he’ll lose them – one by one

In the darkest corners –one day

One day - they’ll all be gone

GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY

Did you ever - go back to the old school

No it weren’t that kind - of place

Those that made it - to the last day

Burnt their ties - and walked away

……………………Like small birds turned out of a cage

It’s a golden opportunity

It’s a golden opportunity - It’s a golden opportunity to be

What you wanna be

…………..It’s a golden opportunity

So did you ever go back to the old street

No it weren’t that kind of place

You wouldn’t understand - when I say

To pull it down - was the only way

And us ………..Like small birds turned out of a cage

It’s a golden opportunity

It’s a golden opportunity - It’s a golden opportunity to be

What you wanna be

…………..It’s a golden opportunity

Tell me - who will help the blind ?

They’re shaping maggots out of butterflies

It’s a golden opportunity

I’M ON THE TV MUM

We did all that could be done - We have arrived yeah we have won

Now look at what we have become - Back on the bus where we came from

We were punching - above our weight

Sharp and fast - but out of date

In the cold light at the end of the day - They had a go - that’s what they’ll say

Now no-ones picking - up my call - The bands success - was just too small

How could we - of been so dumb

Look I’m on - the TV mum

Fingers crossed - we gotta make the top 10

Fingers crossed - you didn’t make the top 10

It’s time to go - what happened to our best friends

We were punching - above our weight

Sharp and fast - but out of date

How could we - of been so dumb

Look I’m on - the TV mum

EXPLODING BAND TONIGHT

Just a boy - looking for something

Coz the angry young scene - it’s had it

I was a punk - in a 3 button jacket

Heard a rumour - something is happening

Exploding band tonight

Opened up my eyes

Sussed ones know the signs

Exploding band tonight

Where do we come from - nobody cares

But somehow - at the beginning I’m there

I’m not a punk - in a 3 button jacket

Now the angry young scene - it’s had it

Exploding band tonight

Opened up my eyes

Sussed ones know the signs

Exploding band tonight

And now it’s midnight - back out on the street

These kids look sharp - won’t miss a beat

We are the future - don’t be afraid

These are the days - the days of change

Exploding

Exploding band tonight

Opened up my eyes

I’LL ALWAYS BE A DREAMER

I was in a band once - now I’m a cleaner - I clean the bogs in an office block

I was gonna be someone - had imagination - now faded dreams are all I’ve got

So I tread on the cracks - and I don’t read from propaganda hoardings

Won’t eat my dinner - with a plastic spoons who do I think I’m fooling

They say these are the best days of our lives

They say these are the best days - am I still alive

I resist just enough - to keep me sane

Keep the regulation expression off my face

In this minimalistic - empty room

The future came - and it came to soon

you know I can’t help it

you know I can’t help it - I’ll always be a dreamer

They say these are the best days - of our lives

They say these are the best days - am I still alive

WHAT ARE WE GONNA BE TOMORROW ?

When we’re small - we go to school

Pre-programmed - protocol

Who is making - the decisions ?

We are just the - faceless millions

What are we gonna be – Tomorrow ?

Have to wait and see – Tomorrow ?

When we’re small - we surrender

Made the same - pushed through their blender

I D chip – a quick incision

We are just the - faceless millions

What are we gonna be – Tomorrow ?

Have to wait and see – Tomorrow ?

Freedom is an illusion - They made you

No - more – heroes - anymore

Here’s what you’re gonna be

This is your Tomorrow

Just a pair of overalls or a shoddy office suit (that’s you)

Just another faceless name tag – that’s you

WE ARE THE NEW WAVE

Now it’s 79 – aint gonna waste our time……..aint gonna waste our time

Yeah we wanna fly – wanna do the things our parents never did

and no one’s gonna stop us

We’re the new wave We are fast and we are sharp

We’re the new wave These word they come straight from the heart

You can’t push us down - your one way street …… always telling us - what to be

Yeah we wanna fly – No dead end world to kill our dreams

in your human factory

We’re the new wave We are fast and we are sharp

We’re the new wave These word they come straight from the heart

They wanna trap you – shut your ears to what the teachers say

Turn off the TV - hey

LIVING IN THE SPACE AGE

Now there’s a problem - In the mirror

The cold blue eyes - of a killer

could kill the boss - but not a fly

don’t fit the job - aint gonna ask why

Today - there’s nothing on the front page

They say - we’re living in the space age oh yeah

In his mind – it’s all too much

Things are changing - turn the radio off

A future rock star’s - savage birth

from the flats he – he falls to er earth

Today - there’s nothing on the front page

They say - we’re living in the space age oh yeah

All the papers lie

Rock n roll’s so tired

Outside with his P.45

Some kids are still alive

Today – they’ll break out of this cage

And no - we won’t do what you say

Who know? - he could make the front page

How strange – they say we’re living in the space age

nothing on the front page

looking out of a cage

we don’t care what they say

HEAVEN

There’s too many kings - wanna hold you down

And a world at the window – gone underground

There’s a hole in the sky – where the sun don’t shine

And a clock on the wall – that counts my time

Heaven – is a hole in my heart

And heaven – will tear me apart

Heaven – is a hole in my heart

And heaven – will tear me apart

And now nobody dares – step out of line

There’s a face on a screen – and it looks like mine

They’ve all got their price – but they feel no shame

And I scream as the fools – wanna jump this train

Heaven – is a hole in my heart

And heaven – will tear me apart

Heaven – is a hole in my heart

And heaven – will tear me apart

SATELLITE KIDS (underdogs still need the sun)

We were stood - outside in queues

They called us - slum kids who

Yer take one look and - cross the road

Oh but yeah - that’s how it goes

Underdogs - still need the sun

To seep into their brains - like anyone

We’re the ones - society don’t see

Kick us and - we should say please

We dress up in - our nice new clothes

They say we have no minds - no souls

Underdogs - still need the sun

To seep into their brains - like anyone

Coz we have feelings

Searching for some - kind meaning

Are we human at all

Our feeling written on the subway wall

Underdogs - still need the sun

Won’t listen - to anyone

We’ll always be - satellite kids

Yeah we know - that’s how it is

MEDWAY WAKE UP

Kids round here - all going nowhere

But they don’t - seem to care

Do they feel that - things aint fair

The month - the year - they are unaware

And I don’t know - should I tell them

Medway wake up

Walking round - all the lonely places

Looking at - the worn out faces

Kids don’t see - that they’ll be wasted

Yeah everybody’s - mental cases.

And I don’t know - should I tell them

Medway wake up

Medway town - lost in time

Not - waiting for a sign

Boys - and girls aint gonna cry

Med - way sun - may never shine
