Mao Badge - Stephen Duffy

Pushing and pulling

And trying to make my way

Through the crowds 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

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 hope that there aren’t too many bad times
