VERSE 1
Us, you, me and them
Desparately seeking to belong
Dancing and Prancing
Jeans so tight
Don't wanna stand and fight right....Fight right
As I walked up the stairs
Clammering to the sound of the ravers
The ravers of Love
I wondered if I truely belonged to this sea of youth?
CHORUS
La di da di da
We are the London Revellers
La di da di da
We are the London Revellers
VERSE 2
Boys and girls
kicking and punching their way out of the door
Leaving only a sticky stench
of regret and perfume sex
A ciggie tucked behind his ear
And herself leaning against his chest.
I wondered when this night would end?
This wondrous haze of confuse.
CHORUS
La di da di da
We are the London Revellers
La di da di da
We are the London Revellers
VERSE 3
Everbody on Brick Lane
Looking ultra super sexy cool yah
Das ist kool ja
Some looking New Wave
More like Timmy Mallet
Yeah whatever!
Everybody drunk and drinking
smoking feeling happy and high
Empty vessels tits and ass!
New Romantics ready to dance
CHORUS
La di da di da
We are the London Revellers
La di da di da
We are the London Revellers

PRINCE CHARLES LYRICS
RENU
VERSE 1
OH IT'S ONE OF THOSE LOVELY DAYS
AND YOU'VE JUST FINISHED WORK
AND ALL BECAUSE IT
PAYS
YOU HOP ON THE BUS
IT'S HALF EMPTY SO THERE'S NO BIG FUSS
YOU LOOK FOR THE SEAT
AT THE TOP AT THE FRONT
SO YOU CAN WATCH THE OLD LADIES
AND THEIR DOGS GO BY
CHORUS
OH IT'S ONE OF THOSE LOVELY DAYS
WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
SO YOU HEAD FOR THE PRINCE CHARLES
AND CATCH A MOVIE WITH
MAYBE ONE DAY FILM STARS
AND LOSERS TOO
OH MY LITTLE PRINCE CHARLES
VERSE 2
OH IT'S ONE OF THOSE LOVELY DAYS
PASS THE NOODLE BARS, CHINESE GEEZERS, COCKNEY ACCENTS
YOU LOOK UP AT THE OLD SWISS CLOCK
AND YOU WONDER WHERE THE TIME WENT BY
AND THEN YOU WISH
ONE OF YOUR LOVERS WERE BACK
MIDDLE EIGHT
VERSE 3
IN THE RAIN WITH A BUNCH OF FLOWERS
I WAIT FOR A GLANCE
WEARING MY BURBERRY MAC
I PEEK TO THE CORNER
AND CATCH TWO LOVERS
CHIT AND CHAT, ABOUT THIS AND THAT
WHY HAS LOVE ELUDED ME?
CHORUS
OH IT'S ONE OF THOSE LOVELY DAYS
WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
SO YOU HEAD FOR THE PRINCE CHARLES
AND CATCH A MOVIE WITH
MAYBE ONE DAY FILMSTARS
AND LOSERS TOO
OH YES MY LITTLE PRINCE CHARLES

BLACK SHAPED LOVE
RENU
Verse 1
Junk love………….
I know the time and place
Where the deed was done
I know without knowing
Where you're love has gone
Verse 2
I know what's going on
I'm not the only one
I know without knowing
You're gutted cos you're sprung
I can see it in the distance
You're far from where you're from
Chorus
Junk love
Black shaped love
Verse 3 (Excerpts of 1 & 2)
I know the time and place
Where the deed was done
Where you're love has gone

Ballad of Barnaby & Kim

BARNABY & KIM
BY RENU
verse 1
He was a boy
At the end of the road
Who made art
And little clay pigeons
Verse 2
He kissed me one night
And it felt like a girl
I looked into his eyes
And I wished he was
Bridge 1
He spoke about love
All things sad
His girlfriend an English flower
Was completely mad
Chorus 1
His trip to the northern lights
Seemed like a dream to me
A magical voyage
With a friend with a broken nose
Chorus 2
He painted snow....
Layed down white carpets
And drew his curtains
In his room
Verse 3
A virginal boudoir
Full of art and music
He played me his song
Into the night
Verse 4
I felt sad
Our dreams so full of romance
Would it be like dancing
Our last dance?
Chorus 3
Like Barnaby
Kim had kissed me
Unlike he
She kissed like a he
Chrous 4
She was a star
In Vienna
She had to leave the madness
Of her mother
Chorus 5
Instrumental
Bridge 2
She knew if she
Drank the pain away
Her only conversation
was with herself
Chorus 6
Smoking all day
Draped at the window
When would she be star again
Never it seemed
Never it would be
Verse 5
This is my story
Of Barnaby and Kim
I hope I wouldn't find either
Down and out
Bridge 3
He would be alright
She would sing her song
When would our paths cross
Only at night

LONDON TO ALABAMA
RENU
Verse 1
Slowly things become better
When life trickles past
Eaten by your love hate letter
You were not supposed to last
Chorus
Memories keep flooding forward
Tears I cannot hold
I know *5
I must be bold
Verse 2
She took the last train to Alabama
The 9-5 she would try
The things that push and pull, pull and tug ya
London has drained her dry
Chorus
Memories keep flooding forward
Tears I cannot hold
I know *5
I must be bold
Bridge
A daughter she must feed
A journey she must take
A story she must read
I hope it has a happy ending
Bridge in French
Un fille que doit nurrie
Un histoire que'll doit libre
Un voyage que'll doit faire
Je spare te tout irra-bien
Verse 3
She met a man in the local diner
He introduced himself as 'Honest Joe'
He took her hand
And placed a ring on her finger
And he asked her if she would be his beau?
Chorus
Memories keep flooding forward
Tears I can not hold
I know *5
Djembe Train solo
Verse 4
The neighbors said they hadn't seen her
Maybe for a week or so
A lot of bruising, screaming, punching, fighting
They blamed it all on Honest Joe
Chorus
Memories keep flooding forward
Tears can not hold
I know *5
She was DEAD

LEFT
RENU
Verse 1
Putting you down makes me feel better
Knowing you I feel weird
Even when the blood is over
The sadness still remains
Verse 2
Mother in the room can't understand her
Unlike her I am low
Unlike her I'm useless
Unlike her I will drown
Chorus
La da da da da da da *4
Verse 1
Putting you down makes me feel better
Knowing you I feel weird
Even when the blood is over
The sadness still remains
Verse 2
Mother in her room can't understand her
Unlike her I am low
Unlike her I'm useless
Unlike her I will drown
and 2 and Chorus repeat
Bridge
This aching sickness inside of me
Like the ocean will never leave
I stare at the phone at the phone waiting for a ring
Even if we talk what would that achieve?
I am LEFT * 7
Chorus
La da da da da da da

WE LOVE YOU (VAMPIRES OF LONDON)
RENU
Verse 1
we dance to the moon
The film star is you
We laugh till we cry
And that's when I knew
Unlike the damned and the down
Our love would never die
He whispered in my ear
We'd never grow old
Verse 2
We prayed for the storms
And partied all night
We jested and joked
Of whose necks we would bite
Unlike the damned and the down
Our love would never die
Where did they all go?
No one knows
Chorus
We Love you
We love you
We love you
Verse 3
Rain began to fall
The excitement grew and grew
We pounded our arms against the big bloody sky
Unlike the damned and down
Our love would never die
Virgins and beauties
Please do come to our ball.
Chorus
We Love you
We love you
We love you
Intro
We the Vampires of London
Will suck your life, love and blood
Chorus
La............
Dialogue
As we proceeded up the stairs
to our coffins
We the undead were in safe knowledge
We would live forever!!

RENU
Oh little lady sitting there
with her dark
but golden hair
Eating scones and muffins
Lashings of butter and chocolate buttons
All grown up but still a child
Feel like keeping her by my side
Stroke her head
And kiss her cheek
Tuck her in her cosy bed
Keeping all the wolves abay
And the demons from knocking on her door
When would she learn?
I'm only here to LOVE + PLAY
Now that all the sentiments are over
I can perform my little games
Like sticking worms in her ears
And scaring her from behind big doors
Eating cheese and drinking wine
And time to time I would call her a filthy swine
Only in jest
As she knows me best - OH!
What a weird and + scary thing we're in
My weird and wary twin
