Mao Badge
(Stephen Duffy)

Pushing and pulling,
And trying to make my way
Through the crowd on the underground.
I'm just a man
And I hope that I can be true
Like I've never been true before.

I know that you'll be here
For the good and the bad times.
I hope you know I'll be here
For the bad and the good times.

Pushing and pulling,
Why can't they leave us alone,
Pay the rent and the telephone.
Let's just stay in,
Play old records and watch TV,
Something you taped on video.

I know that you'll be here
For the good and the bad times.
I hope you know I'll be here
For the bad and the good times.

Mao badge and arts lab
A cigarette on the bus
Bus to school
Comprehensive school.

Music and books before
Girlfriends and looks go in
Anaglypta in cinnamon.

I know that you'll be here
For the good and the bad times.
I hope you know I'll be here
For the bad and the good times.

I hope that there aren’t too many bad times.
I hope that there aren’t too many bad times.
I hope that there aren’t too many bad times.
