"A Design For Life"
Better Lyrics:
Seeboard gave us power.
The Sun gave us GOALS! for free.
What price now, for a copy of Jacko's HIStory.
I wish I had a beatle, so I'd sell lots of autographs
Simply Red did Stars, and now, sit, flat on their arse
We dont talk about Love, we only wanna get drunk.
And we are not loud to stand,
'cause we are told terraces must end.
A design, for life
The Sun gave us GOALS! for free.
What price now, for a copy of Jacko's HIStory.
I wish I had a beatle, so I'd sell lots of autographs
Simply Red did Stars, and now, sit, flat on their arse
We dont talk about Love, we only wanna get drunk.
And we are not loud to stand,
'cause we are told terraces must end.
A design, for life
Original Lyrics:
Libraries gave us power,
Then work came and made us free.
What price now, for a shallow piece of history.
We dont talk about love,
we only wanna get drunk.
But we are not allowed to spend.
'cause we are told that this is the end
A design for life
Then work came and made us free.
What price now, for a shallow piece of history.
We dont talk about love,
we only wanna get drunk.
But we are not allowed to spend.
'cause we are told that this is the end
A design for life

How his voice got that high!!
Lyrics Pronunciation:
"Ifwhiteamericatoldthetruthforonedayitsworld..."
The Lyrics: Grenada, Haiti, Poland, Nicaragua
Why: James pronounces "Nicaragua" as "Nic-a-rah-goo-ah" to fit in with the odd metre of the verses. On a side note, the full title of the song is "Ifwhiteamericatoldthetruthforonedayitsworldwouldfallapart" but it wouldn't fit.

Upbeat Songs With Depressing Lyrics:
"Your Love Alone Is Not Enough"
The Lyrics: Your love alone is not enough, not enough, not enough
Why: They sing about how the love in the relationship is not enough to sustain the relationship and yet they sound really upbeat and kind of teasing about it.
