Captain Scarlet
Captain Scarlet

He's the man that made the films
He's the man that's seen the films

Captain Scarlet
Captain Scarlet

Indestructible, indispensable
Indestructible, indispensable

Captain Scarlet
Captain Scarlet

He's so brave
He's so bold and gay

Captain Scarlet
Captain Scarlet

So you think that he's the man
So you think that he's the man

Made out of steal
To you so real

Indestructible, indispensable
Incompatible, insignificant

Captain Scarlet
Captain Scarlet

  Bad Shape Lyrics  
 
 
 

We're all fucking spastics
We're all paralysed
Cancer in the ears
Cataract in the eyes

We're all dismembered
We're all in stitches
Wrapped in bandages
Stumble with crutches

  Psychic Lyrics  
 
 
 

I keep seeing nuns collapsing in the street
I never know what they’re supposed to mean
Was it today I checked my horoscope
Was it a man hanging from a rope?
_________________________
_________________________
A ghoul selling ice cream in the cinema
I’m smoking everytime I die

I stayed once at a séance
I’m so psychic
I’m so psychic
Psychic, psychic
I’m so psychic
Voodoo psychic
I’m so psychic
Voodoo psychic

I keep seeing nuns collapsing in the street
I never know just what they’re supposed to mean
Was it today I checked my horoscope
Was it a man hanging from a rope?
There’s a s_____________ at my bus stop
And a demon in the launderette
A warlock served me in the cornershop
Hellfire from my cigarette

I stayed once at a séance
I’m so psychic
I’m so psychic
Psychic, psychic
I’m so psychic
Voodoo psychic
I’m so psychic
Voodoo psychic

I stayed once at a séance
I’m so psychic
I’m so psychic
Psychic

  Love In A Void/The Lord's Prayer Lyrics  
 
 
 

Too many fools blocking my notions
Clouding my eyes must be the potion
Spots in my eyes must be the lotion
Spots in my eyes must be the lotion

Love in a void
It's so numb
Avoiding love
It's so dumb
Love in a void

Love in a void
It's so numb
Avoiding love
It's so dumb
Love in a void

Too many Jews for my liking
Too many critics too few writing
Rabid dogs that aren't biting
Rabid dogs that aren't biting

Love in a void
It's so numb
Avoiding love
It's so dumb
Love in a void

Love in a void
It's so numb
Avoiding love
It's so dumb
Love in a void

Jaded reputation on which you're staking
Lots of money for the making
For all the stars they're just faking
For all the stars they're just faking

Love in a void
It's so numb
Avoiding love
It's so dumb
Love in a void

Love in a void
It's so numb
Avoiding love
It's so dumb
Love in a void

Love in a void
It's so numb
Avoiding love
It's so dumb
Love in a void

Love in a void
It's so numb
Avoiding love
It's so dumb
Love in a void

  Make Up To Break Up Lyrics  
 
 
 

Spots and warts and blemishes
Deep receding crevices
Seem to disappear
With foundation on my face
Foundation on my face!

Shadow conjures cheekbone
Hides a nasal disgrace
A disfigured attrocity
J J Jutting out of place
Jutting out of place!

Make up to break up
Make up to break up
Make up to break up
Make up, break up, make up to break up

Girls with eyes like swimming pools
Are the ones that I despise
'Cos I need lots of colour
To hide my bloodshot eyes
Hide my bloodshot eyes!

Now to paint by numbers
Over the cavernous pit
Lots of glossy red
To hide my pale cracked lips
Hide my pale cracked lips!

Make up to break up
Make up to break up
Make up to break up
Make up, break up, make up to break up

Now comes the break up
From the make up
Just like the devils rain
C C Colours run insane
Colours run insane

Foundation starts to tremble
My nose a grotesque abstract
My mouth a gaping gap
My eyes are shooting blood
My face is cracking up
My face is cracking up

Make up to break up
Make up to break up
Make up to break up
Make up, break up, make up to break up

  The lyric 'just like the devil's rain' is a reference to the film of the same name.   "Devil's Rain was a cheapo cash in movie on the same lines as the Exorcist etc;  an actress called Ida Lupino (beautiful name) was in it - Ernest Borgnine was the Devil - William Shatner the guy from Star Trek was the hero.  The film was about this rain that melted people - their faces went like putty and if you squeezed their eyeballs all pus came oozing out."  Source:  Zigzag 10/77.
