come home go to bed
just longing for a place to rest my head
lights off your fast asleep
i take one look at you but you have gone so deep
sunrise eggs n toast
wheres my other half shes just become a ghost
suitcase in the hall
whats become of us have we began to fall
chorus
but i dont wanna wake up in the morning
and find that you have gone
listen when i tell you
i know what i did was wrong
and when i try to say im sorry
the words just came out wrong
now what can i say
what can i do
all i really want is to be close to you
oh so close to you
come home late at night
ive got no keys i cant get in i knock up the wife
a sharp scream then i froze
holy shit whats goin on its raining clothes
well crys of you are dead
are going round and round and round and round my head
please stop lets make up
think of the kids what will they say
when they get up
chorus
but i dont wanna wake up in the morning
and find that you have gone
listen when i tell you
i know what i did was wrong
and when i try to say im sorry
the words just came out wrong
now what can i say
what can i do
all i really want is to be close to you
oh so close to you
repeat chorus

stay with you till the morning light
can i take you home tonight
guilty pleasures under neon light
can i take you home tonight
stay with you till the morning light
fall in love with you tonight
plastic fantastic dynamite
chorus
i met you at a party
seen your face from across the room
i knew you were the one for me
hoping i'm the one for you
can i take you home tonight
been watching you for a long long time
hoping yes i'm hoping girl
hoping that you'll say your mine
let me take you home tonight
we'll dance around like we just don't care
fall in love again tonight
plastic fantastic love affair
chorus x 2
i met you at a party
seen your face from across the room
i knew you were the one for me
and so here ends my story
about this girl that i once knew
i pumped her up to much one night
and out the window off she flew
hoping i'm the one for you

there's nothing here for me
as i walk these Dublin streets
and as i walk on by
yeah in the blink of an eye
everything has changed
and i'm back once again
to where it all began for me
braces boots and all
your back up against the wall
standing oh so proud
your just a face in the crowd
your braces boots an all
your back up against the wall
standing oh so proud
your just a face in the crowd
chorus
but everything has changed
ooh nothing stays the same
nothing ever stays the same
oh oh yeah
nothing ever stays the same
oh oh yeah
records shops have gone
there's no rockers teds ska's or mods
the music's just mundane
its just the same shit again
i wanna go back there
and spike my fucking hair
take my 7 inch records and then
i'll put the needle to the vinyl again
chorus
but everything has changed
ooh nothing stays the same
nothing ever stays the same
oh oh yeah
nothing ever stays the same
oh oh yeah
there's nothing here for me
as i walk these Dublin streets
and as i walk on by
in the blink of an eye
everything has changed
and i'm back once again
to where it all began for me

open the papers
turn on the news
survey the headlines
its all doom and gloom
mountains erupting
there's bodies in lakes
there's nothing but bad news coming my way
slingshots and arrows
the forecast is cold
suicide's up 10% so i'm told
the mirror the sun yeah they all say the same
Denis o Brien's in the news once again
chorus
yeah, what i wouldn't give to be somewhere
anywhere's better than this
what i wouldn't give to be somewhere
landslides and earthquakes explosions and war
millions left homeless i cant take no more
propaganda and bullshit pumped into our eyes
if it isn't bad news it's right wing lies
slingshots and arrows gunshots and crime
big bold black letters on front of the times
remind me of what state the world's in today
the headlines change but the story's the same
double vocal chorus
yeah, what i wouldn't give to be somewhere.............an all i wanna do
is be somewhere else with you
anywhere's better than this........................................an all i wanna say
what i wouldn't give to be somewhere.....is maybe someday things will
change
billboards are saying send twenty quid
while showing us faces of poor starving kids
mothers they cry in the streets why oh why
must we send our poor sons off to war just to die
chorus
yeah, what i wouldn't give to be somewhere
anywhere's better than this
what i wouldn't give to be somewhere

The Skalps Dublin, Ireland
THE SKALPS.
We were never supposed to become a band, we were a group of musicians brought
together by Tommy Byrne or should I say stolen from other bands hence the name ( The Skalps ).
The idea was to record a 4 track Ep then go our separate ways but faith jumped in and as we played and jammed together we found a nice little groove that was fun and inspiring,
The Skalps were born.
