Speed Ballads Lyrics
Speed Ballad Lyrics

This is Republica's newer album, I think.. correct me if I am wrong. I am not sure when it was released, possibly 1999.


From Rush Hour With Love

No Android dreamt of Victoria or tube station allergens
Just allergic to the 20th century
But hating every morning
Shouting out but nobody hears
She said she loved someone
But it didn't begin
So each morning - I'm calling
From the rush hour with love
From the rush hour with love
From the rush hour with love
Stop sleeping, stop sleeping
I came back as an insect
But in another space and time
I could love and share and feel my feet in the sand
Stuck down the back of the Westway
Time check 8:15
He said he loved someone
But he didn't love him
So each morning - I'm calling
From the rush hour with love (get up wake up)
From the rush hour with love (gonna get gonna get gone)
From the rush hour with love (get up - stop)
Stop sleeping (sleeping) stop sleeping (sleeping)
From the rush hour with love
From the rush hour with love (gonna get gonna get gone)
From the rush hour with love (get up wake up)
(Get up)
Stop sleeping (sleeping) stop sleeping (sleeping)


Fading Of The Man

Ice cold, Heart stone
You want fresh meat, But I won't eat it
You can't touch me, Your insides ugly
It's a slap in the face, But you gave it away
You give in to fame
Then, you found yourself high
And you're gonna feel low
And you find yourself colder than the winter
Can't bare to be alone
Faded man
Ice cold, Bare bones
You take flesh and you take asprin,
Glad I faked it, 'Cos now its ended
'Cos you found yourself high, Now you're going below
When your throat becomes dry, And you wanna go home
Faded man
But the airports are closed, And your credit card knows
Your honesty's left back on the runway
Screaming for the phone, It's the fading of a man
Like a slap in the face, But you gave it away
You gave in to fame
Then, you found yourself high
And you're gonna feel low
And you find yourself colder than the winter
Melting like the snow
Faded man
And you find yourself high, Now your going below
And your faces are changing like the seasons
Breaking like a bone
It's the fading of a man


Try Everything

Jimmy came down from the northwest, Said there's a couple of things
I wanna get off my chest, Like eat some food you're looking like a ghost
And how come you always hurt, The ones that you love most
I've pulled myself together, It tore us apart
I've been on the M1 for most of the night
You're born and then you live, then you die
You get one try and I've tried everything
A cannon's loose you were telling the truth
And I lied - caught offside - so don't say anything
And Jimmy said words I hadn't heard before
Like licentiousness and what about getting a job
But the blood in your body as you're coming down
It stings like the cold wind, That blows round your friends
You're born and then you live, then you die
You get one try and I've tried everything
A cannon's loose you were telling the truth
And I lied - caught offside - so don't say anything
Like a moon soaked summer night, On a rainy Westbourne Park day
We're together we're apart, Hell I'm crazy I'm wrong and you're right
You're born and then you live, then you die
You get one try and I've tried everything
A cannon's loose you were telling the truth
And I lied - caught offside - so don't say anything
You're born and then you live, then you die
You get one try and I've tried everything
A cannon's loose you were telling the truth
And I lied - caught offside - so don't say anything
Just try everything just try everything


Luxury Cage

Future you, Future me
You make the whole d*** day feel longer
It's taking me over, It makes me feel older
Creature you, Creature me
I shed my coat, But it turned winter
Just look at the weather
It's raining forever
But I could stay, Stay in this luxury cage
Wouldn't that be great
I don't think so (I don't think so)
Yeah I could stay, Stay in this sparkling fake
Stay in this beautiful masquerade
I don't think so (I don't think so)
Future you, Future me
I shut myself out from the world now
The sounds getting so loud
You're making me spin round
But I could stay, Stay in this luxury cage
Wouldn't that be great
I don't think so (I don't think so)
Yeah I could stay, Stay in this sparkling fake
Stay in this beautiful waste of space
I don't think so (I don't think so)
Future you, Future me
I guess I'll have to set my sights higher
I'm too near a liar, It makes my feel tired
But I could stay, Stay in this luxury cage
Wouldn't that be great
I don't think so (I don't think so)
Yeah I could stay, Stay in this sparkling fake
Stay in this beautiful waste of space
I don't think so (I don't think so)



Faster Faster

My skin creeps
I'd like to sleep
World get up without me
Another day that I'll hate
And it takes so long
And the people come
And it's every freezing morning
Sometimes they never come at all
Just sitting here with shoes and perfume
Make up and the mirror
Just give it up, Let me out
Out of here, Faster don't stop
Get me out, Out of here
Faster faster
My feet on fire
Yeah he's a liar
Playing judge and jury
I'll just pretend he's someone else
And the phone can ring and I won't begin now
To say that I'm not your baby
I kind of wished I never was
Not stayin' here
With you the rent the red bills
And the tears
Just give it up
Let me out
Out of here
Faster
Don't stop
Get me out
Out of here
Faster faster
Faster faster
Faster faster


Nothing's Feeling New

Everything that I ever found
I'm switching over to a low tar brand
Got cable video with surround sound
I lie in bed and watch the world go round
Got CNN baby
Got ISDN baby
Everything is useless
Everything is stupid
Nothing's feeling new
Everything is useless
Everybody's clueless
Nothing's feeling new
Got Sherman filters and Virgin Peps
Got mini disc and virtual pets yeah
Fizzy drinks are gonna rot your brain
Got Patrick Cox mules and Donna Karan
I got the wide screen Star Wars Trilogy
Got belly rings and flings and Hard Candy
That's Urban Decay baby
Got Space NK oh baby
Everything is useless
Everything is stupid
Nothing's feeling new
Everything is useless
Everybody's clueless
Nothing's feeling new


Millennium

Everybody's talking 'bout a new beginning
A new place to drink in, a fast new boyfriend
A new science for a brand new century
A message to the future electronic holiday
Let the clock roll
So let the clock (the world is outside)
Roll (stars in the sky)
The clock hits midnight
Devil's hitting midnight
We hit midnight
New Year everything's gone quiet
Everybody's talking about a new space station
Your teeth falling out in the radiation
All your insurance and all your air miles
In gigantic computer millennium violence
Let the clock roll
So let the clock (the word is out now)
Roll (the sky's falling down)
The clock hits midnight
Devil's hitting midnight
We hit midnight
We hit midnight
New Year everything's gone quiet
Everybody suddenly thinks it's underground
To get into bands that split up in the 60's
Burn up the software learn that guitar
And get on the radio in America - yeah!
The clock hits midnight
Devil's hitting midnight
We hit midnight
New year everything's gone quiet
Clock hits midnight
Devil's hitting midnight
Rip it up midnight
New Year everything's gone quiet


Pretty Girl Hate

She said she'd lie for you, She said she'd die for you
She said she'd fly in the sky, Said she'd cry for you
She said she's proud of you, And that she loves you too
Put on a show 'cos she knows, What you're going thru
She says I'm looking rough, I'm on a diet and stuff
And now it's all gone wrong, Oh she knows that it's tough
She says she'll do what she can, 'Cos she's my Number One fan
Take advice don't fight, What he told her last night
Do you wanna know about us, She's got pretty girl hate
Funny how a so called friend, Delete everything she said
Apologies they come too late, She tells pretty girl lies
Every single time, She's got pretty girl hate
But then she changed her tune, In just one afternoon
Hates my guts won't stop, 'Till I'm out the room
She let the rumours fly, She's got a devious mind
Attitude bitter fruit, And an evil eye
It's not a part of my life, She's got pretty girl hate
Funny how a so called friend, Delete everything she said
Apologies they come too late, She tells pretty girl lies
Black and white, All the time
You do everything in spite, Your jealousy
Is deep inside, Pretty girl
It's not a part of my life, Do you wanna know about it
She's got pretty girl hate, Funny how a so called friend
Delete everything she said, Apologies they come too late
She tells pretty girl lies, Black and white
All the time, You do everything in spite
Your jealousy, Is deep inside, She's got pretty girl hate
Every single time, Every single night
Every single time, She's got pretty girl


Kung Fu Movies

Kowloon gardens, Was some where a short cut through
'Til I met you, Now we're lying on your bed
Watching Kung Fu movies
There are no days or nights, Just you and me and Bruce Lee
We shout we fight, We chase the night
But we disagree, Kung Fu movies,
Kung Fu movies, Kung Fu movies,
Kung Fu
Shaolin and fu sang yang, Seng li - all the time
Dragon master deadly Venoms five, Hong Kong style
Kung Fu movies, Kung Fu movies,
Kung Fu movies, 0Kung Fu
I frustrate you, Complicate you, I'll hit and hurt you
It's Hang Seng baby
Cos' one of these days when I make money
I'll blow away these Kowloon gardens
And you and Kung Fu
You and Kung Fu, You and Kung Fu
You and Kung Fu
I'll blow away these Kowloon gardens and
Kung Fu movies, Kung Fu movies
Kung Fu movies, Kung Fu
Ngo jah che hi sickfan, gung hoi fat choy gowlong
Ngo tung kwilo a ma va, leung kar m hoi ta


Pub Pusher

On Heavenly Sunday as he touches your insides
He said the last thing on my mind was to cheat on you
Go down Queensway as you start another fight
You know it spoils my appetite you're a selfish boy
Just sit and wonder as your dreams go up in smoke
You're stealing cars and selling dope
Now you've sold your soul
And I'm hanging out with Mortal Combat 2
And Haagen-Daaz and early Cure
How I miss you so
Pub pusher onlookers
Call for pizza there's a pub pusher on the ground
Pub pusher born loser
Call the doctor there's a pub pusher on the ground
Pub pusher tried to kill ya
Call the cops there's a pub pusher on the ground
On his back there's a pub pusher on the ground
Give blood there's a pub pusher on the ground
Pub pusher call the preacher
They don't believe there's a pub pusher on the ground
Pub pusher
Pub pusher
Pub pusher
Pub pusher
