| Mental As Anything is an Australian New Wave/rock music band who, since the late 70s have released numerous albums & singles and have produced many innovative music videos. Although they have worked in a much broader musical idiom, Mental As Anything are in many respects comparable to British band Madness, in that their music is typically delivered with a quirky, ironic sense of humour and a strong visual identity. Founding members Martin Plaza and Reg Mombassa met at art school and formed the band in 1976; all of the early members became accomplished painters, with Mombassa's work in particular becoming very well known through his designs for the Mambo clothing company. The Mentals' music is characterised by poppy, accessible and well-crafted melodies and lyrics, and almost all their work showcases their ironic, satirical and self-deprecating sense of humour. They are arguably one of the most typically 'Australian' of rock groups, with their music and their satirical, good-time image deeply rooted in the milieu of Australian suburbia, despite the fact that two key members (the O'Doherty brothers) were in fact immigrants from New Zealand. The group's art school background and visual design skills also made them pioneers of the music video form in Australia in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and their videos rank as some of the funniest and most imaginative produced in Australia at that time. The "classic" lineup of the group, which boasted four songwriters and lasted more than twenty years, was: * Martin Plaza (né Martin Murphy) -- vocals, guitar * Reg Mombassa (né Chris O'Doherty) -- lead guitar, vocals * Andrew "Greedy" Smith -- vocals, keyboards, harmonica * Peter O'Doherty -- bass, vocals * Wayne "Bird" De Lisle (né David Twohill) -- drums This article continues at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_As_Anything Информация с сайта: http://en.noomus.com/music/Mental+as+Anything/

Why do you pretend To be so naive Give me one excuse For being allowed to breathe Offer me a role. Don`t wanta be a big wheel But I sure won`t be a slave Don`t wanta be a big wheel But I sure won`t be a slave, Won`t be a slave. I have you alone, you alone to thank You taught me how to swim, When you made me walk the plank. Offer me a role, Won`t you offer me control, Offer me control. Don`t wanta be a big wheel But I sure won`t be your slave Don`t wanta be a big wheel But I sure won`t be your slave... Информация с сайта: Аллофтекст.нет (набирать латинецей, вместо к - х. ВНИМАНИЕ!

| Песня: Good Friday (Martin Plaza) Good Friday in Dead City Is no place to be Good Friday in Dead City Much worse than Calvary Good Friday in Dead City is no place to be It`s chock a block all day deserted by nine-nine thirty Ask a policeman can you tell me is there a bar open Might as well be in prison you tell, they won`t listen Oh no what a town, this town can really get you down Oh what a state to be run by a senile clown Pensioners don`t need to go all around the place in fear Not so lucky if you happen to be a black or queer Good Friday in Dead City Is no place to be Good Friday in Dead City Is no place to be Good Friday in Dead City Is no place to be Good Friday in Dead City Is no place to be No no no no...

| Песня Stones Of The Heart (Reg Mombassa) I`m not a gypsy or a clown Cause I don`t want to live in every town I don`t want everything I see I just want one girl She won`t ever have to be afraid She won`t ever have to be a slave To a fear of the future Cause the stones of the heart And the armour of love keeps us whole Wipe the sticks from our backs And the bolts that descend from above They`re repelled by the armour of love I don`t have a country or a company of cavalry I don`t have a bunker or a battery or artillery I`ve got a brand new spiritual spear strapped to my thigh you may wonder what it`s doing there I`ll tell you why Cause the stones of the heart And the armour of love keeps us whole Wipe the sticks from our backs And the bolts that descend from above They`re repelled by the armour of love Struck down by the stones of the heart Repelled by the armour of love. Cause the stones of the heart And the armour of love makes us whole The stones of the heart And the armour of love keeps us whole Wipe the sticks from our backs And the bolts that descend from above They`re repelled by the armour of love Struck down by the stones of the heart Repelled by the armour of love.

| Песня Splashing (Reg Mombassa) Splashing - making a mess of myself I`m splashing - making a mess of my health When I go out of my head the lights go on in the sky I just want to crawl in bed I couldn`t get up if I tried Soaking up the night with my eyes saucers of boiling oil soaking up things through my paper skin and my blood is starting to boil Splashing - making a mess of myself I`m splashing - making a mess of my health When I go out to a club I check my mind at the door with a porter in a paper bag I pick it up when I leave at four When I`m as big as my uncle Jim I`ll give you all cause to complain walkin` around with boots on my head like a missile on a train Информация с сайта: Аллофтекст.нет (набирать латинецей, вместо к - х.
