This morning it was summer
By noon a cold front building
Where did you go?
Where did you go?

I got to find some shelter
'Cos any minute now
It's gonna blow
It's gonna blow

But I don't mind the rain
So strike me once again:
I've got nothing to lose

And it looks like we are in for stormy weather
With death and destruction coming through
Oh, look out there she blows
Now everybody knows:
Stormy weather always makes me think of you

And watch out 'cos the storm is coming through

But you're so still and silent
Whilst everything's dissolving
Melting away, melting away

But I don't mind the rain
So strike me once again
I got nothing to lose

Yeah, it looks like we are in for stormy weather
With death and destruction coming through
Oh, look out there she blows
Now everybody knows:
Stormy weather always makes me think of you

Oh and it looks like we are in for stormy weather
With death and destruction coming through
Oh, look out there she blows
Now everybody knows:
Stormy weather always makes me think of you

And watch out 'cos this storm is coming through
Yeah, watch out 'cos the storm is coming through

Last night I had a little altercation
They wobbled menacingly
Beneath the yellow street light it became a situation
Well, they wanted my brand-new phone with all the pictures of the kids and the wife
A struggle ensued and then fat children took my life

Fat children took my life
Fat children took my life
Fat children took my life

Well, some passers-by took me to the station
The police force was elsewhere,
putting bullets in some guy's head for no particular reason
So I died in the back of the cab
but I'll be back to haunt them
This thing does not end here
My spirit walks the streets of Tottenham

Singing:
Fat children took my life
Fat children took my life
Fat children took my life

Oh, the parents are the problem
Giving birth to maggots without the sense to become flies
So pander to your pampered little princess
of such enormous size

"They want our way of life"
Well, they can take mine any time they like
'Cos god knows - I know I ain't living right:
I'm wrong
Oh, I know I'm so wrong

So like the Roman Empire fell away
Let me tell you; we are going the same way
Ah, behold the Decline and Fall
All hold hands with our backs to the wall

It's the end:
Why don't you admit it?
It's the same from Auschwitz to Ipswich
Evil comes
I know from not where
But if you take a look inside yourself -
maybe you'll find some in there

Not one single soul was saved
I was ordering an Indian takeaway
I was spared whilst others went to an early grave

Oh, got stoned
Yeah, went out and got stoned

Well if your ancestors could see you standing there
They would gaze in wonder at your Frigidaire
They had to fight just to survive
So can't you do something with your life?

It's the end:
Why don't you admit it?
It's the same from Auschwitz to Ipswich
Evil comes
I know from not where
But if you take a look inside yourself -
maybe you'll find some in there

Here it comes, why don't you embrace it?
You lack the guts needed to face it
Say goodbye to the way you've been living
You never realised you were on the wrong side
And nobody's going to win

"They want our way of life"
Well, they can take mine any time they like

She’s by herself again
in the quiet secret night
Below the neighbour’s window
hands in pockets, head on one side

And the radio plays an unknown song
that has nothing at all to do with God
But it’s miles away
from this sad town
and the stupid kids who get her down
Just wait until Big Julie rules the world
Big Julie rules the world

Well, the radio still plays
floating beyond time
like the greatest people in the world
all springing up and feeling fine

And it’s far away
from these sweaty lads
who say that boys
cannot be slags

And if it’s not them
then it’s their dads
Like the guy who felt
her up in class

And the Sunday-School teacher
who said she had beautiful breasts
and the local radio DJ
who is so obviously obsessed Yeah,
form an orderly queue when Big Julie rules the world
Big Julie rules the world.

Yeah, go and chase your dreams
but if your dreams are not your own
then wouldn’t it be better
just to work things out at home?
And she knows sex is just for dummies anyway
something you do when you’ve run out of things to say

But this song will play
until the light
It’s the sound of her trying
to find something to like

the sound of her walking
day and night
And this song may lead her
far away
but tonight it seems to light the way
And she can almost see the future shine
And everything’s in tune
and everything’s in time
And it will play until the day
Big Julie rules the world
Big Julie rules the world

Well did you hear, there's a natural order?
Those most deservin' will end up with the most?
That the cream cannot help but always rise up to the top
Well I say, "Shit floats"

If you thought things had changed
Friend, you'd better think again
Bluntly put, in the fewest of words:
Cunts are still runnin' the world
Cunts are still runnin' the world

Now the workin' classes are obsolete
They are surplus to society's needs
So let 'em all kill each other
And get it made overseas

That's the word don't ya know
From the guys that's runnin' the show
Lets be perfectly clear boys and girls:
Oh cunts are still runnin' the world
Cunts are still runnin' the world
Ah yeah!
Oh yeah!

Oh feed your children on crayfish and lobster tails
Find a school near the top of the league
In theory I respect your right to exist
I will kill ya if you move in next to me

Ah, it stinks, it sucks
It's anthropologically unjust
Oh but the takin's are up by a third
Oh so cunts are still runnin' the world
Yeah cunts are still running the world, ah yeah!
(Cunts are still running the world) Ohh!
(Cunts are still running the world)

The free market is perfectly nat'ral
Do you think that I'm some kind o' dummy?
It's the ideal way to order the world
Fuck the morals, does it make any money?

And if you don't like it? Then leave
Or use your right to protest on the street
Yeah, use your right but don't imagine that it's heard

No, not whilst cunts are still runnin' the world
Yeah, cunts are still runnin' the world
Yeah cunts are still runnin' the world!
Yeah cunts are still runnin' the world!
Oh cunts are still runnin' the world!
Cunts are still runnin' the.. world!
Cunts are still runnin'... the world..
