01 Váteres. Letra:
“¿De qué sirve lo que eres?
¿De qué sirve lo que sabes?
¿De qué sirve lo que vales
si se va por el váter?
Tanto dictar sentencias
y la tuya no la has cumplido.
Es hora de irte ya
por donde has venido.
Váteres en vez de iconos,
como el oso y el madroño.
Váteres para lo que como,
váteres es lo que somos.
Váteres como cráteres,
váteres como cráteres,
váteres como cráteres
para todo lo que haces.”
02 Ocio
Las presiones de la vida mundana
van a dejarte para peinar canas.
Al despertar, pareces un bicho
y la rutina, un cómodo nicho.
Necesitas un poco de relax,
un spa, un crucero, una casa rural,
huir en plan mochilero al Indostán
o ampollas de algo que te haga pam.
No quieras ir de espiritual
en los tiempos del iPad,
parecerá que puedes escapar.
Las vacaciones son divertidas,
la burda promesa de otra vida.
Nuevas modalidades de ocio,
el aburrimiento, ¡qué gran negocio!
Cuando sufras crisis de identidad,
escoge una cura, un destino ideal,
un conflicto civil, un clima tropical
y trae un souvenir o una postal.
No quieras ir de espiritual
en los tiempos del iPad,
parecerá que puedes escapar.
Creerás que puedes escapar,
creerás que puedes escapar,
creerás que puedes escapar,
creerás que puedes escapar.

-Wedding Present
1985 Go Out and Get 'Em Boy / (The Moment Before) Everything's Spoiled Again (single) (Reception)
Go out and get ‘em boy (letra):
You were a survivor after all
You never even called (I didn't expect you to)
Now, there's such a lot you've done
And you're only twenty-one (yes, you're only twenty-one)
Oh, there's just something; something I noticed
That there's a whole world out there but it's shrinking fast
You want to take it all and make it last forever
Or maybe just a lifetime
Now you've gone to fly the flag
From some pinprick on the map (won't you ever bring it back)
Tonight, when you hold her in your arms
And you prove that you're a man (oh well, I hope she understands)
Oh, there's just something; something I noticed
That there's a whole world out there but it's shrinking fast
You want to take it all and make it last forever
Or maybe just a lifetime, maybe just a lifetime
And some things just don't ever go away
Some things you know are just here to stay
And in a golden field there is a little girl
Left with a union jack
And there's a price to pay, no matter what you say
There is no going back today
And if we're worlds apart, then I've still got a heart
Can you imagine that?
"Another wasted day", yes I can hear you say
But I'm afraid, it means much more to me than that
