Welcome To Gravesend

Here's a song called WELCOME TO GRAVESEND by the quite average pop band called UNLUCKY FRIED KITTEN who are from the United Kingdom.



WELCOME TO GRAVESEND



People walking dogs in crumbling parts of town

Making conversation...spreading germs around

Children buying ice-cream from a foreign man

Somewhere in a back street...from a scruffy van



Lucy buys a postcard and scribbles a 'hello'

To a friend in Bolton...someone she used to know

A toddler in a high-chair spews Weetabix en-masse

Life goes on around me...and memories are crass



Two friends are in a cafe...Mary and Suzanne

Suzie had a little roast beef

Mary had a little lamb

A waitress took a snapshot and I forgot to smile

3 months is a long time...and memories are vile



A midwife parks illegally on a double yellow line

A traffic-warden sees her...and dishes out another fine



A little girl buys cat-food from a shop called Pets At Home

Life still goes on around me...on a mobile phone

Tarpaulin on some scaffolding is flapping in the breeze

Men fight inside a chip-shop...called The Seven Seas



An old lady spends her vouchers at the checkout with a friend

Huh

Is this what I wake up for?



Welcome To Gravesend

Poor Little Baby by Valentina Morotova

POOR LITTLE BABY

Poor little baby...your head has resigned
Poor little baby...and so has your mind
Poor little baby..you were my best friend
Now things are crazy...our friendship must end

Poor Little Baby
Poor Little Lady

I dyed my my hair red...to get on your show
My lines were well read...but I didn't know
That you were waiting...to rip me to shreds
To leave me hanging..by sinews and threads

Poor Little Baby
Poor Little Lady

You were my best friend...we met every day
You stole my boyfriend...and now you must pay
Outside the milk bar...you ask for a light
Forget the smoke, bitch, I just wanna fight

Poor Little Baby
Poor Little Lady

So now I stand here...with my boot in your face
I'm Valentina..and you're a disgrace
I'm gonna kill ya..oh dear..what a crime
You started first, dear, you took what was mine

Poor Little baby
Poor Little Lady

Elation Day by UFK

Elation Day
I'm so happy I'm walking on air
I'm so happy My friends are all there
I'm so happy I'm climbing the walls
I'm so happy I'm having it all

I'm so frantic I'm swinging from trees
It's romantic I'm easy to please
I'm so happy I've lost my despair
Time for changes I'm cutting my hair

When I was lonely I lived in a void
I screamed at demons I was annoyed
No-one knew me And nobody cared
They looked right through me
Nobody cared

Oh I'm so happy My life is a thrill
I've lost that desire To go out and kill
It came so quickly Out of the blue
It made me happy and it could work for YOU!!!!

Let's Pull Down All The Buildings

"Let's Pull Down All The Buildings" (for Aveling and Porter)

Oh, I tried to understand the story of the man with the clip-board
from corridors in town
His eyes were as grey as the slate in the tiles on the roof of the church
Before they pulled it down
He sat every Monday with the Planning Committee
Drawing stripes on projections of our wonderful city
Flip-Charts bent double with ripening schemes
Then water the cactus and it's off to the wine bar

To talk about Annual Reports in conversation
Compulsory Purchase with light compensation
They couldn't recall who sang "My Generation"
It's yesterday's music so it bears no relation

Let's Pull Down All The Buildings
Because they stand in the way
We have big plans for the future
They don't include yesterday

Oh, I tried to comprehend the reason why they buzzed round a desk
On a regular basis
To talk with the men from the Supreme side of town
To assess corporation and enforced uniformity
It came back to me in the flash of a frenzy
The buildings are gone but we still have the memory
Spending our days with the ghost of our past
There's no time at all between memories and reality

Let's Pull Down All The Buildings
Because they stand in the way
We have big plans for the future
They don't include yesterday

Getting My Own Back(On You) by Unlucky Fried Kitten

Getting My Own Back (On You) by Unlucky Fried Kitten

You came to my concert, you stood at the front
You used to be lovely, now you're a ****
You used to be trendy and rich as a bank
Now you are potless, you ain't worth a ****

Getting my own back
Getting my own back
Getting my own back...on you

We met in the juniors, yeah, we were so young
We started a pop band, with songs that we sung
You were the singer, you stood at the front
Now you're a loser, and you are a ****

Getting my own back
Getting my own back
Getting my own back...on you
