The Word Girl
Written by Green Gartside and David Gamson, published by Chrysalis Music
Ltd/Warner Bros Music Ltd.
To do what I should do
To long for you to hear
I open up my heart
And watch her name appear
A word for you to use (ooh-oh)
A girl without a cause
A name for what you lose
When it was never yours (oh-oh do-do-do)
The first time baby that I came to you
For I'd do things that you want me to
The second time baby that I came to you
For oh you found my love for you
The third time baby that I came to you
Oh, oh, oh, I knew
The last time baby that I came to you
Oh how your flesh and blood became the word
A name the girl outgrew
The girl was never real
She stands for your abuse
The girl is no ideal
It's a word for what you do (ooh-oh)
In a world of broken rules
She found a place for you
Along her chain of fools (oh-oh do-do-do)
The first time baby that I came to you
For I'd do things that you want me to
The second time baby that I came to you
For oh you found my love for you
The third time baby that I came to you
Oh, oh, oh, I knew
The last time baby that I came to you
Oh how your flesh and blood became the word
Oh how
Your flesh and blood
Oh how
Your flesh and blood
Oh how
Your flesh and blood
Oh how
Your flesh and blood
Oh how
Your flesh and blood
Oh how
Your flesh and blood
Oh how
Your flesh and blood (blood, blood, blood, blood)
Oh (oh) how (how, how, how, how)
Oh (oh) how (how, how, how, how)
Oh (oh) how (how, how, how, how)

Small Talk
Written by Green Gartside and David Gamson, published by Chrysalis Music
Ltd/Warner Bros Music Ltd.
Small talk
Small talk
Small talk, ooh we're tired of prophecying
We heard the word was good but it's stupefying
Small talk, get up and do some death defying
Small talk
I heard a whisper
That careless talk costs more than you bargained for
In seventh heaven
If a thing's worth doing, it's worth doing badly baby
Small talk
Small talk, oh, baby it's so inconsequential
Everybody heard enough about your big potential
Small talk, oh, no information give
Small talk
I heard a whisper
That careless talk costs more than you bargained for
In seventh heaven
If a thing's worth doing, it's worth doing badly baby
(ba-ba-ba...)
I heard a whisper
That careless talk costs more than you bargained for
In seventh heaven
If a thing's worth doing, it's worth doing badly baby
Small talk, oh, you're such a little socialite
We heard your chit-chat, now you get it up and get it right
Small talk, oh, show us what you're made of baby
Small talk
I heard a whisper
That careless talk costs more than you bargained for
In seventh heaven
If a thing's worth doing, it's worth doing badly baby
I heard a whisper
That careless talk costs more than you bargained for
In seventh heaven
If a thing's worth doing, it's worth doing badly baby
I heard a whisper
That careless talk costs more than you bargained for
In seventh heaven
If a thing's worth doing, it's worth doing badly baby

Absolute
Written by Green Gartside, published by Chrysalis Music Ltd.
Absolute, on power drive
I need you so to keep me alive
Absolute, I long for you
A girl to make a dream come true
Oh baby understand
Absolute, on power drive
I need you so to keep me alive
Absolute, I long for you
A girl to make a dream come true
Absolute, a principal
To make your heart invincible
To love (do do-do-do)
(Ooh love you)
(Ooh love you)
(Ooh and I love you)
(Ooh and I love you)
Holy girl your lips of clay
Will whisper words of yesterday
Holy girl my paramour
I know too much to be so sure
Holy girl you kiss away
The meaning of the working day
For love (do do-do-do)
(Ooh love you)
(Ooh love you)
(Ooh and I love you)
(Ooh and I love you)
Where the words are worn away
We live to love another day
Where the words are hard 'n' fast
We talk of nothing new but the past
(Ooh love you)
(Ooh love you)
(Ooh and I love you)
(Ooh and I love you)
(Oh-oh...)
Where the words are vodka clear
Forgetfulness has brought us near
Absolute, a principal
To make your heart invincible
To love (near)
To love (oh)
To love
(Love you) love you
(Love, love you)
(Love) absolute
(Love you) love you
(Love)
(Love you)
(Love) absolute
(Love you) love you
(Love)
(Love you)
(Love) absolute
(Love you) love you
(Love)
(Love you)
(Love) absolute
(Love you) love you
(Love)
(Love you)

A Little Knowledge
Written by Green Gartside, published by Chrysalis Music Ltd.
GREEN: Now I know to love you
FEMALE: Is not to know you
GREEN: Oh I got too near to you
Oh, in the court of contempt
I have to tell you
FEMALE: One thing I'm certain
GREEN: I've been overtaken, girl
Oh, by the need to be loved
We don't have forever
FEMALE: To find a reason
GREEN: How I lost the will to love you
Out in the way of the world
Maybe I could see you
FEMALE: When this is over
GREEN: Maybe when our hearts are healed
Oh what a day to behold
FEMALE: There'll be a day, lovers away
(You can) call me and mend a broken heart
There'll be a time long after mine
(He will) call you and mend a broken heart
GREEN: Not a lot to say now
FEMALE: Except I miss you
GREEN: Not a lot to take your place
Oh, in the heart of the boy
Ooh a little knowledge
FEMALE: Is so exciting
GREEN: You became a part of me
Oh, and the world that we knew
I guess it's a sickness
FEMALE: That keeps me wanting
GREEN: Ate away the heart of me (heart of me)
Oh, and the heart that I loved
Still beyond believing
FEMALE: In love forever
GREEN: Quite the brightest star, girl
Oh, in the reason of sleep
FEMALE: There'll be a day, lovers away
(You can) call me and mend a broken heart
There'll be a time long after mine
(He will) call you and mend a broken heart
GREEN: Listen to her say
FEMALE: Got a little radio
Held to my body
I can feel your back beat boy
GREEN: Moving a muscle of love
FEMALE: Turn it up and press it
I don't understand it
I can feel your message boy
GREEN: Calling me over and out
Here's a verse for nothing
FEMALE: An introduction
GREEN: To the way the world will be
Now we're apart and alone
Mustn't be unhappy
FEMALE: When you remember
GREEN: Lovers never lose each other
Oh, such a lot to be learned

Perfect Way
Written by Green Gartside and David Gamson, published by Chrysalis Music
Ltd/Warner Bros Music Ltd.
I took a backseat, a backhander, I took her back to her room
I better get back to the basics for you (oh yeah)
You gotta conscience, compassion, you got away with the word
You gotta heart full of complacency too (but it's not like that)
I don't have a purpose, omission, I'm empty by definition
I got a lack girl that you'd love to be (ooh)
You wanna diva, a deduction, you wanna do what they do
You wanna do damage that you can undo (won't happen 'til that day)
Apart from everyone, away from your love
A part of me belongs apart from all of the hurt above
I got a perfect way to make a new proposition
I got a perfect way to make a justification
I got a perfect way to make a certain a maybe
I got a perfect way to make the girls go crazy
I took a day job, amendment, I took a liking to you
I took a page out of my rulebook for you (mmm)
You wanna message, a confession, you wanna martyr me too
You wanna margin of error for two (but it's not like that)
Maybe tomorrow, the next letter, or when the weather gets better
I've got to wait here for your moon to turn blue (ooh-ooh)
I made an offer, exception, I made a sense out of you
You took a good look at your book but I knew (won't happen 'til that day)
In times of tenderness, in terms baby so true
Until such time as I can understand all the things you do
I got a perfect way to make a new proposition
I got a perfect way to make a justification
I got a perfect way to make a certain a maybe
I got a perfect way to make the girls go crazy
Want to forgive you all the things that you do
Wanna forget how to remember with you
Maybe tomorrow, the next letter, or when the weather gets better
I've got to wait here for your moon to turn blue (won't happen 'til that
day)
Apart from everyone, away from your love
A part of me belongs apart from all of the hurt above
I got a perfect way to make a new proposition
I got a perfect way to make a justification
I got a perfect way to make a certain a maybe
I got a perfect way to make the girls go crazy
This is a perfect way to make a new proposition
This is a perfect way to make a justification
This is a perfect way to make a certain a maybe
This is a perfect way to make the girls go crazy
A perfect way
I've got a perfect way (a perfect way)
I've got a perfect way (new proposition)
I've got a perfect way (justification)

Flesh & Blood
Written by Green Gartside, David Gamson and Ann Swinton, published by
Chrysalis Music Ltd/Warner Bros Music Ltd.
RAPPER: This song is to a teenager
Say whether minor or whether major
When me was young, me never have no teacher
Me do some things, me never know what a-better
But let me tell you something, we can reach further
Say wait a with your friend or wait here no far
Some of them are fake and some are liar
Make no mistake, me say some are user
Some of them a-use manipulation
And some of them a-practice exploitation
It's just one thing when you're a woman
It sometime feel like like ten against one
And let me tell you something, say that's no fun
Say this kind of feelings you can't override
Say from the truth and from the fact, you just can't hide
My flesh and blood, your blood and flesh
Lord above, look how you're fresh
Me out-a here and out-a mind
This request is justified
Check with me, nobody
Mentally, not physically
There's a way, you can-a say
Yes, it's my identity
Check with me, nobody
Mentally, not physically
Check, check
For me!
Just one thing you must contemplate
In everything you do, you want be concentrating
Concentrate on what you need
The things you need, the soul you feed
Take what you want and get what you need
Feel secure then you will succeed
Cos life is short and it can be good
But just remember say you no make out-a wood
Help yourself, you know you should
Say this kind of feelings you can't override
Say from the truth and from the fact, you just can't hide
My flesh and blood, your blood and flesh
Lord above, look how you're fresh
Me out-a here and out-a mind
This request is justified
Check with me, nobody
Mentally, not physically
There's a way, you can-a say
Yes, it's my identity
Check with me, nobody
Mentally, not physically
Check, check
For me!
No use me, abuse me
Excuse me, I'm flesh and blood
I say no use me, abuse me
Excuse me, I'm flesh and blood
You say
You can stop, me say you love machine
Yes you know, just what me mean
I used to act the cherry and the cream
A woman left me just a dream
Me say no use me, abuse me
Excuse me, I'm flesh and blood
Me say no use me, abuse me
I'm flesh and blood
Me flesh and blood, me blood and flesh
Lord above, me say no get too fresh
Me out-a here and me out-a mind
This request is justified
Me say
