1.	Green Fever 01:48
2.	Viva La Pedestrian 05:27	lyrics
She asks in passing "To walk or take car? To Zoo of London is it too much far?" I lie and point wrong I don't have the time She's up the wrong way but I'm doing fine My head's my own place Viva La Pedestrian It's spick and span Viva La Pedestrian I'll take the old route Viva La Pedestrian The bus be banned Viva La Pedestrian It's wake up Wally, it's kind of a game We'll lead the new kids, we'll all look the same While Trish and Trevor, they beat themselves up We'll steal the limelight, we'll live on their luck I'm walking fast now It's almost a run I won the sack race Before it begun I'm off to do do, to profit or bust I'll leave sweet Jesus to ride on the bus My head's my own place Viva La Pedestrian It's spick and span Viva La Pedestrian I'll take the old route Viva La Pedestrian The bus be banned Viva La Pedestrian I love this knowing the things that you don't I wear a halo, the one that you won't
3.	Viva La Psychedelican 00:54
4.	I Like My Job 04:51	lyrics
I like my Job My job it drinks me mad.
5.	Living For Sunday 04:52	lyrics
A ready rubbed believer A nothing much achiever He's had his day Oh no sir he's not bitter He didn't mean to hit her He's lost his way A pre-recorded program Of wildlife at the local schools The show he thought he'd miss it He didn't buy a ticket Anyway The comfy brown acrylic Went down well at the picnic A lovely day The ten percent receivers They keep a space between her They'll have to pay A child of sweet devotion A stack of books on Tonka Trucks The congregation's yawning Now he's asleep and snoring He's had his way I wait all week to live on a Sunday
6.	Green Fever Returns 00:49
7.	I've Seen 04:06	lyrics
I've seen people talking to no one but themselves I've seen people laughing at those who need their help I've seen people fighting I've seen people stop I've seen people ask the time when looking at a clock I've seen people dancing I've seen people fly I've seen people fall apart when they don't win the prize I've seen people naked I've seen people nude I've seen people live their lives and never be amused
8.	Sunday Roast 00:58
9.	Green River 07:46	lyrics
It's time to go home I've got to get home Please let me off Let me off at the right stop Black eyes Are heavy Slowly Closing Dreams by the river The lights are quicksilver The beds blue and bouncing And he stands their howling The long walk is calling But he's still and snoring No phone Old bones Please phone And come home He don't sleep he burns He don't sleep he burns
10.	Mad Job 01:30
11.	Peckham In Patterns 04:54	lyrics
Careless and crude Take away food Jack eyed and begging I'm slowly descending Cheap meat can cast its perfume Careless and rude Take this away food Fun's come And I've won A forty stop journey Brutalitie's horny and near The Routemasters gone They've taken my phone Quick chat and a story Is ending the morning The take away menu is full
