OK, so I have scoured the interwebs for an hour or so and I can't figure out all the words to "Beat City" by Flowerpot Men. Anyone have a clue? :confused:

From: someone
Beat city now now,
Beat beat,
Beat city now now,
Woo-oo-oo,
Beat city now now,
Beat beat,
Beat beat,
Beat city,
I watch you tumble down.

Roll into America,
Roll your hands in policies,
I love it when you smile,
I love it when you
Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing.

Roll into a factory hand?,
???
When it takes you by surprise,
I'll be there to watch you ,
Run Run, run, run , run,
Run, run, run, run, run,
Run, run, run, run, run,
Run, run, run.

Beat city,
Beat beat,
Beat city now now,
Woo-oo-oo,
Beat city now now,
Beat beat,
Beat beat,
Beat city,
I watch you tumble down,

Roll into ???
???
To the merry I behold,
Where you go,
Oh I don't know,
???
It's so real,
???
???
???

Beat city,
Beat beat,
Beat city now now,
Woo-oo-oo,
Beat city now now,
Beat beat,
Beat beat,
Beat city,
I watch you tumble down.

Beat city,
Beat beat,
Beat city now now,
Woo-oo-oo,
Beat city now now,
Beat beat,
Beat city,
I watch you tumble down.

Going to....crush your mouth
close your eyes, goodbye, is out
To the memory, I do hold
Where you go, I don't know
Well don't say nothing....it's not real
A flaming heart....the heart full of fear
I traded down....that old heartache of mine.

Looks like you filled in some parts, I think a bit of it may be off though. Some of the words don't seem to fit with the music. More research is required! :cool: And thanks for the help Joy! :D

BEATOWN by XTC

I spoke to your boss this morning
He asked why you weren't home?
I said sir they left without warning
You won't even get them on the telephone

They're in, it's a capital city and all roads lead to
Beatown, beatown

I spoke to your owner this lunchtime
He asked why you weren't home?
I said they thought it was hunchtime
You won't even see them standing on their own

Beatown, it's a capital city and all roads lead to
Beatown, beatown

He says he wants his money back sir
He says you're all communists sir
I said they beat you fair and square sir
They use the head, and not the fist

Beatown, beatown
